What does BTS stand for, outside of K-pop?

[–] 9point6@lemmy.world 138 points 2 years ago (4 children)

Wait, does it not stand for "behind the scenes" wrt the K-pop group?

I thought it stood for Boppan Tangnam Style.

Nah, for the Kpop group it's a shortening of the group's full Korean name Bangtan Sonyeondan which in English translates to "Bulletproof Boy Scouts". Though in recent years they apparently also added "Beyond the Scene" to try to show how they've grown since they first began.

It does stand for behind the scenes, but it is also a popular kpop group, the bangtan boys (bangtan sonyeondan in Korean) (everybody just calls them BTS)

It stands for Bangtan Boys

That’s some linguistic gymnastics right there

From context, Behind The Scenes I guess

[–] XTornado@lemmy.ml 16 points 2 years ago

Idk until somebody say it... I am not BTS fan or KPop in general but damn if their name appears so many times than now I always think of the band first and I hate it.

Is BTS still around they were big back when I was in high school, they must all be men now

[–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 66 points 2 years ago (1 children)

they must all be men now

Hopefully their transition went well

[–] SeducingCamel@lemm.ee 8 points 2 years ago

They're still pretty big, pretty sure they're taking a break for military service

Last I heard at least one of them had to go into mandatory service, but I haven't heard anything since.

Makes me think of how every MTG headline the past few years had me wondering what Wizards of the Coast messed up this time.

Fascists love ruining stuff like the Charlie Chaplin mustache and red hats.

[–] Custoslibera@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Now they are going to ruin mono-blue as well?!

For those wondering if it's real, @btasty is just some guy talking about sports and comic books, not someone from BTS.
