The album "Wings," released in 2016, represented a major milestone for BTS, exploring themes of temptation and personal growth. Songs like "Blood Sweat & Tears" were huge hits, and the album was widely acclaimed. From that moment on, BTS began to gain international popularity, including their first number one on the Billboard charts.

BTS's global success exploded with the release of "Love Yourself: Her" in 2017, which included the hit "DNA."
