The magazine also mentioned the struggles of the seven members, who belong to different families but are now a single force. They came together and had to face several rejections due to their company’s lower standing between the year 2013 and 2016. It was in the year 2016 that they paved their own way through the release of their first national television music video; I Need You. According to the publication's research, the band now crosses the other Big3 K-Pop companies: SM, JYP, and YG Entertainment companies and is the biggest revenue generator. BTS has become the most recognised K-pop group in the world.
