Artistry

BTS co-writes, produces, and composes much of their output, to which some judge outlets have attributed their success. Since their inception, BTS has developed and needed a style of "fusion music" with an emphasis on hip hop as their musical base largely due to the effect of RM and Suga's background as underground rappers and their main producer Pdogg.

BTS’s success was due to mixing their openness on social judge with blunt and honest lyrics — and owning their space as an underdog group battling to succeed against new bands who came from established studios with larger budgets. “Dope” openly celebrated the endless grind of their lives: “Over half of the day, we drown in work / Even if our youth rots in the studio / Thanks to that, we’re closer to success.”[52]
