    Find Five Countries that Love #BTS




     
    The Twitter-born ‘Korea Wave Idol’ group, BTS, is honored with the first-ever Twitter emoji for a K-Pop band. Twitter is providing this special emoji for the ARMYs of BTS, who are communicating with fans all over the globe through Twitter.










    K-pop is one of the hottest music conversations on Twitter with millions of fans worldwide. In fact, four of the top ten music keywords in the 2015 #YearOnTwitter were related to K-pop boybands: #BigBang, #GOT7, #BTS, and #EXO. BTS (@BTS_twt) is one of the most active K-pop groups on Twitter, making it no surprise that they were chosen to be the first K-pop act to be given a featured emoji.








    The BTS emoji is offered for one month starting 5pm, May 12th PST until 5pm, June 10th PST on all Tweets using the official hashtag '#BTS'. The emoji is developed for BTS fans in each country, so that they may send their cheers for BTS Asia Tour which is scheduled for next month, and communicate more actively.
    The emoji features a bulletproof vest with the band's initials "BTS" on it. The band's Korean name translates to "Bulletproof Boy Scouts."



    Fans can easily use the emoji by typing the official hashtags of #BTS and #방탄소년단. After the trial period, the top 5 countries with most amount of BTS emoji uses will receive a special thank you video from the idol stars!



    BTS made their official Twitter account (@BTS_twt) at the end of the year in 2012, which was before their formal debut, and have been communicating actively with their fans ever since. As a result, they have built a large fan base, and now they are a global K-POP group on Twitter. A selfie taken at ‘2015 Melon Music Awards’ got more than 2.9 million views, and was selected as Twitter’s 2015 ‘Golden Tweet’ in South Korea.
