We are loving BTS, Wanna One, Seventeen, GOT7, NCT, EXO and Monsta X
K-pop is all the rage now. Although the K-pop music awards ceremony, Mnet Asian Music Awards (MAMA), is still months away, we have picked seven of the best-loved and most promising K-pop boy bands you should have on your radar (in no particular order).
1. BTS
The Bangtan Boys (which means “bulletproof Scouts” in Korean), also known as BTS, are one of the hottest boy bands both at home and abroad at the moment. The seven-member band debuted in 2013 with their song No More Dream, and shot to fame when their “Dark & Wild” album was released a year later. This year, they have gained worldwide attention with their latest hit, Fake Love. The song tops Billboard’s US World Digital Songs list.
