Unless you have been living under a rock, you must have surely heard of the worldwide phenomenon known as BTS. From billboard chart domination, to record breaking YouTube views, and even to a Time magazine Readers poll where they came out ahead of world leaders and policy makers, one can definitely say that this year has been the year of BTS. For those non-BTS Fans, you may not have noticed the equally explosive growth of the BT21 franchise. These are animated characters that are a result of a collaboration between BTS and Line under their Line Friends Creators Project. BTS members came up with ideas for characters that would represent them, and with the help of Line's Design Magicians, voila! BT21 was born.
Each character is a creation of the individual BTS members, who came up with a backstory, characteristics and special powers for each member. Yes, there is a backstory for the characters. :) This is how it goes:
Many years ago a super curious alien called Tata ( Created by Kim Taehyung ) was super curious about everything and wanted to explore the world. So he made a robot called VAN (Representing the millions of ARMY fans) to explore the galaxy with. He came to earth and was amazed at all the super idols and stars that had millions of fans worldwide. He then made his decision. He decided that he was going to make his own KPop band. So he went around the world recruiting an elite team of cute, cuddly characters to hypnotize the world with their cuteness. The band was going to dominate the 21st Century, hence BT21 was born.
