To be accurate, the band's enormous fanbase, which calls itself the "army," is to be credited for its phenomenal engagement online.

BTS has over 10 million followers on Twitter, reaching 3 million in August 2016 -- that means they picked up the latest 7 million in just about a year.

And last month, the Guinness Book of Recordscrowned the band for having the most Twitter engagements for a music group, averaging 252,000 retweets per tweet.

The accolade is hardly the first time BTS has been recognised for its social media prowess. Last year, Twitter gave the group its own emoji that would be triggered with the hashtag #BTS.

That emoji was a bulletproof vest, with BTS emblazoned on it. Pretty apt, going by the band's invincible status right now.
