BTS’s first song to chart on the UK Singles Chart was “DNA.”
“DNA” was released in September 2017 as the lead single from BTS’s extended play Love Yourself: Her. Its appearance on the UK chart marked an important early step in the group’s growing presence in Britain and helped establish BTS beyond South Korea and other Asian markets.
The song combines electronic pop production with an upbeat guitar-led hook and lyrics about destiny and romantic connection. It became one of the best-known tracks from BTS’s early global breakthrough period, alongside the wider Love Yourself era.
Readers sometimes confuse the answer with “Boy With Luv,” “Fake Love” or “Spring Day,” because all became prominent BTS songs internationally. However, those songs arrived later in the group’s UK chart history. “DNA” is the relevant first entry, with its UK chart debut recorded in September 2017.
