The music video for ON ends with the seven breaking barriers and chasing freedom by running towards the peak of a hill. This is when they dropped the album ‘Map of The Soul:7’ in early 2020 with the title track ‘ON’. Soon they paired up with the United Nations to promote the same message. With the release of their albums in the ‘Love Yourself’ series, the band launched a worldwide campaign promoting self-love. Lyrics that used to talk about the frustrations of social expectations gave way to a message of self-love, saying ‘you matter’ and ‘you are enough’. After a gruelling training of nearly two years, the group eventually debuted with the song “No More Dream” on June 13, 2013.įast forward to 2020, the group became one of the most successful acts in the world selling millions of albums, headlining shows, making Grammy appearances and selling out stadiums like London’s Wembley. Soon, the rest of the members J-Hope, a street dancer Jin, a college boy with acting dreams Jungkook, a 13-year-old prodigy V, a boy with a deep baritone voice and Jimin, a contemporary dancer, joined the team.

The 15-year-old Namjoon, who was an active participant in the underground rap scenes, was discovered by music producer Bang Si-Hyuk back in 2010. Hybe, formerly known as Bighit, also has quite a ‘rags to riches’ story. That’s where this group of seven and their company - HYBE - stand out. The disparity in splitting revenues between the artists and the label, archaic rules like a dating ban, and the unbearable pressure to stick to preset social standards are some of them. Often, the reason for this definite departure is how confining the clauses in the contracts are. The nearly decade-long career is somewhat an unusual thing in the K-pop world, which is known for its 7-year curse that most bands, successful or not, disband once their initial contract with their record label (which is often 7 years) ends.
