Its single “Blood Sweat & Tears” was the 11th best-selling single on the country’s Oricon chart. The group was the only K-pop artist in the top 20.

BTS is slated to release the new EP “Love Yourself Seung Her,” on Sept. 18, the first of the upcoming “Love Yourself” series.

BTS recently become the first K-pop artist to make it on the Billboard 200 chart with four consecutive albums.
