Their single " Drop" remixed by Steve Aoki boasts over a hundred million views on YouTube. Their breathtaking performance at some of biggest world's stages including the American Music Awards (AMAs) was praised by critics and fellow musicians.

An official KB Kookmin Bank explained that "BTS symbolizes not only 'the best of South Korea' but also the potential and the aspiration to become 'the world's best,' which is why the group has been chosen to represent the Bank."

Former models of the Bank include the South Korean figure skating champion Kim Yuna.

The commercial film featuring the BTS members will be released online on the Bank's digital platform, "Liiv."
