Wings is a concept album built around Hermann Hesse's coming-of-age novel Demian, with each of the seven members given a solo track exploring temptation and growth: Jungkook's "Begin," Jimin's "Lie," V's "Stigma," Suga's "First Love," RM's "Reflection," J-Hope's "MAMA," and Jin's "Awake." Pdogg anchors the production with frequent co-writes alongside Bang Si-hyuk and the Bangtan rap line of RM, Suga, and J-Hope, who shaped the lead single "Blood Sweat & Tears." The members took authorship of their own solos, drawing on personal experience, as when Jungkook described "Begin" as the story of his journey to Seoul and meeting the group. The result balances the rappers' hip hop foundation with R&B and dance-leaning production across the full-length.
Wings is BTS's second Korean studio album, released October 10, 2016 on Big Hit Entertainment. The album features a solo track for each of the seven members alongside group tracks, marking a significant artistic expansion. It debuted at number 26 on the Billboard 200 and was the first K-pop album to chart in its first week in the top 30 on that chart.
