They are Back: Korean Septets BTS, Halsey kick off summer early with ”BOY WITH LUV”

Five years ago, BTS were a group of young adults in their teens and early twenties trying to make sense of the world around them.

They channeled these confusing coming-of-age emotions and experiences — like first love, disappointment, and heartbreak — into their hard-hitting music, and their 2014 album Skool Luv Affair and its lead single “Boy In Luv” are a reflection of that.

Now, five years older and wiser, the Korean septet are one of the biggest musical acts in the world, with two consecutive No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200 chart, a sold-out global stadium tour, and the internet’s most powerful fandom in their corner.

But their latest single, “Boy With Luv,” proves that while BTS may have matured, they haven’t lost their artistic edge.

And they definitely have their eyes set on total U.S. domination this time around: The group will perform “Boy With Luv” live for the very first on Saturday Night Live on April 13.

It’s playful, fresh, and still 100 percent BTS.
