?2021? Summer Song

The Quest for the Summer Song of 2021 continues, and this is the final weekend. It's going to be BTS and "Butter" I'm sure. But what does BTS stand for?

Here's what the band's name means.

The name "BTS," actually stands for the words, "Bangtan Sonyeondan," which translates to mean "Bulletproof Boy Scouts." According to member J-Hope, the band's name has a pretty deep meaning. "It has a profound meaning...‘Bangtan’ means to be resistant to bullets, so it means to block out stereotypes, criticisms, and expectations that aim on adolescents like bullets, to preserve the values and ideal of today’s adolescents," he told Affinity Magazine.

In 2017, BTS announced a redesign of their logo and that the letters B-T-S would now have an extended meaning. BTS is also a backronym for Beyond The Scene. According to Soompi, BTS's entertainment agency said the new name symbolized youth who go against the grain to move forward and avoid settling.
