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

[–] 9point6@lemmy.world 138 points 10 months 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.

[–] EmptySlime@lemmy.blahaj.zone 45 points 10 months ago

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)

[–] trashgirlfriend@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It stands for Bangtan Boys

That’s some linguistic gymnastics right there

[–] Ethalis@jlai.lu 82 points 10 months ago

From context, Behind The Scenes I guess

[–] XTornado@lemmy.ml 16 points 10 months 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 65 points 10 months ago (1 children)

they must all be men now

Hopefully their transition went well

[–] SeducingCamel@lemm.ee 7 points 10 months 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.

[–] Octopus1348@lemy.lol 19 points 10 months ago

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

[–] pearsaltchocolatebar@discuss.online 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Custoslibera@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months 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.
