Forbes Korea April 2018 BTS

One True Seven💜

Fan girls are not just fan girls, we are dreamers.

They call it Hallyu, the Korean wave: the idea that South Korean pop culture has grown in prominence to become a major driver of global culture seen in everything from Korea dramas to Korean skincare regimens, and at the heart of Hallyu is the ever-growing popularity of Kpop - short for Korean pop music.

Kpop has become a truly global phenomenon thanks to its distinctive blend of addictive melodies, slick choreography, production values and the endless parade of attractive South Korean performer who spend years in grueling studio learning to sing and dance in synchronized perfection.

One of the top Entertainment companies in Korea is Big Hit Entertainment, from where my One True Seven BANGTAN SONYEONDAN came from.

I am a fan of BTS, otherwise known as an A.RM.Y. It was April of 2016 as I first watched BTS music video specifically "I NEED U" who suddenly popped up as I was browsing YouTube. After listening to it I actively follow BTS and eventually become a Stan.

Bangtan Sonyeondan has 7 talented handsone member forned in Seoul in 2013, literally means, "Bulletproof Boy Scouts". According to J-hope, the name signifies the groups desire to block out stereotypes, criticisms and expectations that aim on adolescent like bullets.

Kim Namjoon (Rapper and leader)

The official leader of BTS, RM was the first member scouted by BTS founder Bang Si-Hyuk. He is known for his rapping and collaborated with artist like Wale and even was the first of the group to release his own rap mix tape. He’s the only member of the group who speaks English fluently. In September 2018, he delivered an English-language speech to the U.N General Assembly in New York City supporting youth empowerment.

Min Yoongi (Rapper and producer)

Suga is the second oldest BTS member, and is often described as the dad of the group because he takes care of things around the dorm for the others. He started as an underground rapper with the stage name of Gloss. He is known for his rapid-fire rhymes. He is also a producer having contribution to award-winning songs on other artists' projects as well of many BTS own tracks.

Jung Hoseok (Rapper and dancer)

J-Hope is one of the best dancers in the group, and also a literal sunshine angel! He is the third member who joined after RM and Suga. He was first known for his dancing and was a part of an underground dance crew in his province of Gwangju. He also released his own mix tape in March entitled Hope World.

Park Jimin (Singer and dancer)

Discovered by Bighit Entertainment during High School, Jimin is known for his sharp dance moves and he focused on modern dance. He is known for his impressive abs. Jimin is perhaps one of the most affectionate members, towards his fellow band mates and fans. But he can also be quite self-conscious of both his skills as an entertainer and his looks.

Kim Seokjin (Singer)

Jin is the oldest BTS member, although he doesn’t often act like it. He is known for his dad jokes, describing himself as “Worldwide handsome” in response the times his pictures have gone viral, and winking or blowing kisses to the camera whenever it lands on him. Jin was originally studying acting and was infamously spotted on the streets by a Big Hit Entertainment staff member. 

Kim Taehyung (Singer and dancer)

V, also known as Taehyung, Tae, or TaeTae was the last member of BTS to be revealed. He actually did not even mean to audition for Big Hit but had joined a friend for moral support and was convinced by a staff member to try out as well. One word to describe V would be, unique. His voice easily stands out from the other vocal line because of his soulful and deep tone. He loves to play around with fashion and has a great appreciation for art as well. 

Jeon Jungkook (Singer, dancer and center)

Jungkook is the youngest BTS member, also known as their Golden Maknae because he seems to be good at basically everything. Along with his vocal and dancing skills, Jungkook is also quite athletic and artistic. He was also the only trainee that was sent to America for dance training prior to their debut. By the time the group did debut, he was just 15 years old. Jungkook is my ultimate bias and the love of my life.

BTS is now the biggest boy band in the world, topping charts and setting records as they continue on their world tour. 2018 has been an extremely fruitful year for BTS as they have achieved many awards for their music and also become one of the most influential people to date. Gaining even more international coverage from Rolling Stone, Forbes, Vogue, CNN and so on. After releasing their third full length album “LOVE YOURSELF: Tear” in May, one of the biggest events that happened to BTS is most probably their world premiere of ‘FAKE LOVE’ performance on Billboard Music Awards 2018 (BBMAs). In addition to that, they had also claimed the ‘Top Social Artist’ award twice in a row, since 2017. Aside from international achievements, they have also recently walked home with 9 different awards on Mnet Asian Music Awards 2018 (MAMA). During Melon Music Awards 2018 (MMA), they received 7 awards and also 7 in Asia Artist Awards 2018 (AAA)! It is expected that they will also be sweeping even more awards on the upcoming Seoul Music Awards 2019 and also Golden Disc Awards 2019.

No one loves anything more than a fan girl loves her fandom. My love for them can be obsessive, weird, overenthusiastic and extreme, but it's something I am unapologetically proud of. I am an avid fan girl who actively goes to any BTS events whether it is a BTS member birthday celebration, movie block screening and Fan gatherings.

I am a part of Army of Cebu. As a fan, I do love buying merchandise. I have tons of BTS merchandise at home. As a collector, just looking at the albums, magazines, DVDs, photo cards, and all the stuffs that I have accumulated all these years gives me a sense of happiness. I also feel that buying their merchandise and even the products they are endorsing is my way of supporting them as a fan. 

I found BTS during a very low point in my life and I am really grateful for that. They taught me to have a positive outlook in life. They taught me to love and embrace my flaws and turn it into a positive one. BTS is my comfort zone. They let me realize that I am worth it. Just like them, I will run endlessly towards my dream.

No matter how many of us are in the crowd, when they say "Saranghae ARMY," I feel like they are addressing me and the importance of my existence. When they give out advice for us through interviews, when they put out lyrics that really mirrors the current generation's situations or even just mundane lyrics that we can relate to, I feel like they know me personally. They are just so humble and real. They never forget where they started, never take their feet off the ground, and no matter how big they have gotten, they stay true to themselves. 

From desserts to the seas, we were always together.

[ARTICOLO] Come I BTS hanno riunito oltre un milione di fan online e dal vivo per il progetto di ARMYPEDIA

“I BTS sono tra gli artisti più famosi sul pianeta senza dubbio anche grazie al supporto costante della loro dedicata fanbase, gli ARMY. Come nel corso degli anni è stato notato dai seguaci della boyband sudcoreana, anche quando i ragazzi non riescono a incontrarsi con i loro fan di persona le due parti sono in costante comunicazione, che questa avvenga tramite i social media o con l’uscita inaspettata di nuova musica. Ma questa relazione ha raggiunto una pietra miliare quest’anno con il lancio di ARMYPEDIA.

Ideata come una campagna per permettere ai BTS e ai loro fan di ricordare il tempo passato insieme prima delle nuove uscite musicali nel 2019, ARMYPEDIA è stata lanciata con le caratteristiche di una memoria digitale: un progetto unico nel suo genere che archivia i 2080 giorni passati insieme come band e come fandom. Iniziata il 22 febbraio e conclusasi il 24 marzo, ARMYPEDIA e il relativo sito sono stati creati non solo come un modo per il gruppo e la loro fanbase di celebrare dove sono ora – ovvero la boyband più famosa al mondo e tra gli artisti che vendono di più a livello globale – ma anche dov’è iniziato tutto. ARMYPEDIA, il cui nome è una combinazione tra le parole ARMY (il nome ufficiale del fandom dei BTS) e Wikipedia (una parola ora sinonimo di ‘archivio digitale’), è un database organizzato rivolto ai follower indipendentemente da quando sono diventati ARMY. È una banca dati da riempire con le memorie che i fan hanno relativamente alla band, alla loro musica, al loro messaggio e così via.

Al termine della campagna durata un mese, si sono contati 540,000 fan che hanno partecipato al progetto. Questo prevedeva trovare, su internet e fisicamente in varie città, dei QR code e farne lo scan per ottenere l’accesso a dei giorni specifici sul sito per i quali si potevano lasciare le proprie memorie personali in archivio: si veda per esempio il 12 novembre 2017, giorno in cui il membro Suga ha tenuto una live: molti utenti hanno lasciato i loro ricordi di quando si sono sintonizzati e altri aneddoti di quella giornata.

ARMYPEDIA vanta anche incontri nella vita reale e offline tra i fan (10.000 persone si sono riunite solo a Seoul) e nuovi contenuti registrati dagli stessi ragazzi (tra questi uno speciale talk-show con i membri Suga, RM, Jin, J-Hope, Jimin, V e Jungkook).

La Big Hit Entertainment ha condiviso con Forbes retroscena e riflessioni esclusive del progetto. “Dall’inizio volevamo creare una campagna che fosse possibile solo in questo preciso momento sia per i BTS che per gli ARMY di tutto il mondo,” ha spiegato l’agenzia, svelando il motivo per il quale il progetto si è concluso meno di un mese prima del rilascio del nuovo imminente album dei BTS “Map of the Soul: Persona”, che verrà pubblicato il 12 aprile.

Uno dei punti principali dell’attenzione internazionale nei confronti dei BTS – e secondo la Big Hit una delle chiavi fondamentali dello scopo di ARMYPEDIA – è la dedizione del gruppo nei confronti di temi profondi che vengono trattati nella loro musica fin dal primo giorno. Nel loro album di debutto 2 Cool 4 Skool infatti venivano trattati temi come bullismo e la dura vita affrontata dagli studenti, invece nella loro musica più recente vengono affrontati argomenti come salute mentale, politica e le difficoltà dei giovani. I BTS mantengono una costante linea di messaggi toccanti. Un progetto come ARMYPEDIA sembra dare più chiarezza a chi magari è diventato ARMY solo negli ultimi due o tre anni in cui il successo della band ha subito una svolta.

Ma le reazioni sincere degli ARMY e la vicinanza con il messaggio dei BTS fanno parte di un altro fattore centrale del lancio di ARMYPEDIA. Quando i BTS sono apparsi e hanno parlato all’Assemblea Generale delle Nazioni Unite lo scorso settembre, il leader RM ha enfatizzato l’idea di “speak yourself” (fai sentire la tua voce), considerato dai molti il prossimo passo della crescita personale che segue il tema di “love yourself” (ama te stesso) degli ultimi tre album dei BTS.

Ed è stato quando questo messaggio è penetrato nel cuore dei fan e questi hanno iniziato ad aprirsi di più su Twitter in merito alla loro identità, alle loro esperienze e al tipo di connessione con il fandom, che che l’idea dell’ARMYPEDIA e di uno spazio a loro dedicato dove poter raccogliere i propri ricordi si è fatta strada.

“Non saremmo potuti mai arrivare fin qui se non fosse stato per il grande amore e sostegno dei nostri ARMY”, hanno detto i BTS in esclusiva a “Forbes” dopo la conclusione della campagna. “Attraverso l’ARMYPEDIA abbiamo avuto l’occasione di conoscervi un po’ meglio, ma vogliamo sapere ancor di più sui nostri ARMY”. La Big Hit ha poi menzionato il grande supporto [verso il progetto] da parte dei membri stessi, ricordando ad esempio una live durante la quale Jin e Suga ne hanno parlato.

Dal punto di vista economico, l’ARMYPEDIA è stata una mossa scaltra per commercializzare il marchio della Big Hit. Gli utenti più attivi e partecipativi sul portale sono stati premiati con dei punti da usare nel negozio online della Big Hit Entertainment, guadagnandosi così l’opportunità di acquistare più merce dei BTS e, idealmente, supportare ancor di più l’album in uscita del gruppo o altri artisti della compagnia.

Nel registrarsi sull’ARMYPEDIA, i fan hanno inoltre potuto scegliere se iscriversi alla newsletter ufficiale, strategia chiave per i marchi, questa, di non farsi dimenticare dalla loro clientela.

E proprio come gli ARMY, anche le grandi compagnie sono state ben felici di prendere parte al progetto e attirare a sé più clienti. La Big Hit ha infatti unito le proprie forze con quelle di aziende del calibro della “Hyundai”, (compagnia automobilistica sudcoreana con la quale i BTS hanno già un contratto da modelli per pubblicizzare la nuova auto “Hyundai Palisade”), della “Yakult Korea” (l’azienda produttrice dello yogurt da bere che già lo scorso anno aveva lanciato una bevanda speciale in collaborazione con il gruppo), di “Hot Topic Spotify”, “LINE Friends” e tante altre, con l’aiuto delle quali è stato possibile far arrivare i codici QR ai fan sia virtualmente che nel mondo reale.    

I risultati si sono dimostrati essere vantaggiosi per entrambe le parti: la Big Hit, citando le compagnie, ha aiutato ad ingrandire la portata della campagna - includendo l’inserimento dei codici QR sui cartelloni pubblicitari delle piazze pubbliche, nascosti tra gli scaffali dei vestiti e all’interno di playlist streaming popolari - mentre ai marchi è stato possibile espandere il loro coinvolgimento con gli ARMY - ovvero il fanbase estremamente attivo la cui attività online sta mantenendo i BTS al primo posto della classifica Social 50 di Billboard da quasi due anni. La Big Hit ha descritto queste trattative come un portare “una genuina eccitazione” a tutte le parti coinvolte.

Quindi, dove si dirigerà ora il concept dell’ARMYPEDIA? La Big Hit non sa se rilascerà una seconda parte per i BTS o se creerà un servizio simile per altri artisti della sua compagnia - come la nuova boyband Tomorrow X Together che ha recentemente debuttato. Invece, ritengono che il sito sia una legittima risorsa generata dai fan che permette di immergersi in ciò che significa essere davvero un membro dell’”armata” dei BTS.

“Ogni giorno gli ARMY si divertono e creano nuovi ricordi della loro esperienza di essere ARMY“ riflette la compagnia. “Crediamo sia significativo il fatto che stiamo organizzando il tutto in un archivio in cui chiunque abbia la possibilità di cercare i BTS per qualsiasi tipo di informazione sulla storia degli ARMY e dei BTS.”

Con i BTS pronti ad imbarcarsi nel prossimo capitolo della loro carriera con il loro tanto atteso nuovo album, una componente chiave di quel nuovo capitolo saranno senza alcun dubbio gli ARMY. L’ARMYPEDIA ora si presenta sia come un completo e sincero album dei ricordi di ciò che i BTS e centinaia di migliaia di ARMY hanno condiviso insieme, sia come una promessa di crearne e condividerne ancora di più in futuro.”

BTS, also known as Bangtan Boys (hangul: 방탄 소년단; hanja: 防彈 少年 團; rr: Bangtan Sonyeondan), (in English an acronym for Beyond The Scene) is a South Korean group formed by Big Hit Entertainment in 2013. It consists of seven members: RM, Jin, SUGA, J-Hope, Jimin, V and Jungkook. The group made its official debut on June 13, 2013, with the release of the single "No More Dream", track from the single album 2 Cool 4 Skool.  BTS's achievements have led the group to be number one on the Forbes Korea Power Celebrity list for 2018, which ranks South Korea's most powerful and influential celebrities.  Billboard compared the pandemonium and madness of fans on American soil to the chaos caused by the Beatles in the 1960s. History In 2010, the small, committed budget BigHit Entertainment was looking for young people to join a male hip-hop group. BTS started training in 2010 after Big Hit Entertainment CEO Bang Si-hyuk met with the leader of the RM group and was impressed by his rap. BTS was originally a hip-hop group similar to YG Entertainment's 1TYM, but between its initial formation and its debut, Bang Si-hyuk decided that contemporary youth needed "a hero who could give them a shoulder to lean on even without saying a word ".  The group was due to debut in 2011 and appear on several tracks by artists such as 2AM and Lee Seung-gi before their debut was postponed and the group was reorganized into a more traditional idol group.  The lineup was then completed with Jin, Suga, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V and Jungkook in 2012. Six months before their debut, they started to gain attention for their presence on various social media sites, as well as their covers of music on YouTube and SoundCloud.

BTS in the eyes of 1 out of millions of A.R.M.Ys

I remembered one broadcast where B-Free dissed BTS in front of RM and Suga. RM responds by saying there’s no doubt that they are but they are something more. B-Free insists how can they be different when it’s still the same hiphop in the industry and being like a girl by putting on make-up when performing. Suga and RM defended their stance as a group with so much more than what these sunbaes know.

The boys has been through so much as an individual and as a group. They’ve cried a together, laughed together, fought through the hardships to success together. I believe it’s their experiences and the support they get from each other that keeps them strong.

I recall BTS saying that their music is something most performers do not want to sing about. At that time, as a newbie fan, I didn’t really know what they meant.

Later on, more albums were created, more awards were won, eventually, BTS earned a name for themselves. I realized their music had a story. It had a message I needed to look into. It’s not just an ordinary music to listen to. They had something that made fans hunger for more. Every comeback became something worth looking forward to. And every comeback was a new milestone.

Then, the Love Yourself: Her album happened. It flew BTS’ career to sky-high. It made their goals and dreams come true. They became a global sensation. But more importantly, they broke the barrier of becoming just a hiphop group. They showed more flexibility with their dances and music. They started collaborating with some international artists. They started to mature as a group.

Some started referring to them like “sons” of the kings of K-pop groups, but I say they are now kings in their own ways. From their first-ever win as a rookie group to their remarkable place in the Billboard Charts to earning a name in the Forbes Korea Power Celebrity list, they have become unstoppable.

This 2017, we start to appreciate each member more and we’ve scene some changes that we could say are refreshing, some, nostalgic.

While I could say that my bias is Jimin with V being the bias-wrecker, I would like to go down the memory lane and recall the most notable contributions each member had for the group. After all, you can’t love BTS if you don’t love each one of them.

In one live broadcast on V-Live, a fan said that, Kim Namjoon a.k.a. Rap Monster (who also now refers to himself as RM), is the best leader. RM responded by saying he wouldn’t be one if it weren’t for the members.

A 94-liner, he is one of the hyungs in the group who built the foundation for BTS, being the first member to join and the only member coming from the original line-up. He, together with Suga and J-Hope, contributed to majority of the writing and production some of BTS songs.

Don’t tell me that heart pose didn’t show leader’s aegyo.

While initially criticized for not being good at dancing, he has improved a lot. It’s amazing how he has so much strength to express his and the other members’ feelings through his lyrics. It’s the charm of a Kim Nam Joon as a pillar of support for the group. 

RM reveals in another broadcast that he wrote Jimin’s song, Serendipity for their comeback album, Love Yourself: Her. Jimin who experienced his first time to do the intro song, asked RM how he wants him to sing the song. It only shows how much appreciation the members have for their hyung who wrote it for them. He has also revealed that Jungkook began taking an interest in producing and started consulting him about it and would like to take part in the production process of the group as well.

Aside from being a genius in rapping, Min Yoongi a.k.a. Suga / Agust D, has showcased his talent in playing the piano. He did a freestyle on the keyboards one time during a live broadcast done by Jungkook where he tours Suga’s studio. There were other clips uploaded online where Suga showed off his piano skills while filming MV.

This sleepy-head has so much talent I thought he dreams of new skills while sleeping and wakes up with a new skill every time.

Despite being known as the straight-forward, sleepy-head and savage Suga, he has his own ways of supporting his co-members as a hyung for the maknae line and a brother to the hyung line. He has also showed his softer side when his pet, Min Holly, is mentioned during interviews. He was also seen shedding tears at the stage when they win awards which only show that Suga has emotions like all of us.

Together with RM, he has experienced being dissed by older rappers in the industry and has dissed back at haters through their expressive lyrics. Like RM, he has participated in the writing and production process of their songs so many times.

Dancing Machine / Dance Captain, Jung Hoseok a.k.a. J-Hope, is the brain behind every perfect dance performance on stage. His dance moves show how much passion he has for dancing. Together with Jimin, they attended Seungri Academy and majored in dance. 

He shares the same quirky and playful personality with V and is often seen in hyper mode. But behind the scenes, J-Hope plays a big role in ensuring that the group gives the best performance every time and is scene providing guides for members in improving the performance and their impressions. Members claim that J-Hope even memorized the choreography for their song, DNA, in just a few minutes.

The heart of BTS’ vocals, Jeon Jeongguk a.k.a. Jungkook, is the most loved maknae you can ever imagine. His hyungs were present during his opening and closing ceremony at school. Jungkook claims that his hyungs basically raised him up since he started as a trainee at age 15. He also claims that after being scouted by 7 different agencies, he picked BigHit Entertainment as his final choice after seeing RM’s rapping.

In several live sessions via V-live, Jungkook is usually seen catching up to his hyungs when he sees them live. He makes up 1/3 of BTS’ maknae line and shares their playful personality making them the cutest maknae line you’ll ever meet.

Three words for the maknae line: Best. Trio. Ever.

Despite being the youngest in the group, his role as the main vocals showcase his strong lyrical asset along with his amazing visuals. His singing voice is well remembered since he gives their varying songs the vocal quality that makes a mark with new and old fans alike.

In one broadcast, Jimin says that Jungkook didn’t really know how to dance when he first started; however, after coming back from America to receive dance training, JK has improved so much to a point where he began to love dancing and wanted to be a dancer instead of a singer. Hah!

The eldest member of the group, Kim Seokjin a.k.a. Jin, is hyung known as the Worldwide Handsome for his visuals. The broad-shouldered hyung gained a lot of fans for his handsome face after the group winning the Social Artist Award at the Billboard Music Awards in 2017 where they beat other famous international performers for the title.

Despite being the eldest, he is often seen around playing with the maknaes. While some people claim that his only asset is his visuals, Jin has a singing voice that can make you swoon. On several occasions, he is seen belting out a few lines from their songs like how he sang an acapella of DNA for a family on an episode of Let’s Eat Dinner Together.

Jin and RM are the wings in the dance performances of BTS. They both admit that they belong to the Can’t Dance Line of BTS and are seen many times to receive coaching from the dance line of BTS like Jimin and J-Hope; however, I do believe that they have improved so much especially in their most recent performances. Just goes to show how far they have gone in the industry. 

Hyung, you’ll always be adorable, no matter what.

While I admit that Jin needs to be given more attention in their songs in terms of line distribution, I believe that Jin’s role to the group is crucial especially in his roles in their music videos which I think majority of the videos’ stories circulate around his character. 

The member with the angelic face, smiling eyes and killer abs, Park Jimin a.k.a. Jimin, has cute facial features with unbelievable physique.

He claimed in one broadcast that he was almost kicked out of BTS before their debut. The reason was not revealed; however, I believe it is not a very important issue now especially with the group’s success and Jimin’s improvement from debut up to the present.

Like J-Hope, Jimin has so much passion for dancing - the body rolls, the dance stunts, the vocals - Jimin has so much to offer and we can expect a lot more to come. He his very fond of the maknae, Jungkook, probably because he has a younger brother who he probably misses a lot because they are always away. He and V makes up the 95 duo since they are born in the same year and are very close friends after becoming classmates in Busan Arts High School.

News of Jimin fainting on stage caused worry for fans because of his drastic dieting. He has claimed that he is insecure about his weight and chubby face. He even claims he has even lost his abs in one broadcast while claiming that J-Hope has developed 6-pack abs. When I read about this news, I thought to myself, I hope Jimin does not starve himself to look perfect because he already is in every way.

The funniest member of BTS, Kim Taehyung a.k.a. V. We often wonder why he was named V, but it may probably be because of his habit of putting on a V with his fingers when he poses for photos or greet fans. He has the capacity to make every body laugh. And that habit he has with his tongue…I’ll stop here.

Don’t even get me started on this one.

V actually came from a family of farmers and was encouraged to join auditions and so began his journey towards stardom. He has a low voice that compliments the vocals of their songs very well. 

He is the first BTS member with firsthand experience with acting after taking on the role as the adorable ‘Hansung’ in the historical K-drama, Hwarang, alongside some of the highly anticipated actors such as Park Seo Joon, Park Hyung-sik, Go Ara, at Minho of Shinee.

Despite not actually being a dancer himself, this multi-talented creature can follow choreography very well that you wouldn’t even believe he is not really on the dance line and instead, is on the vocal line, of BTS. 

If he did not debut, he claims that he would have been a saxophonist. And personally, I do hope that he will be able to enhance his skills in the process while being with BTS.

These are only a few of the things my mind can recall as I write this post. BTS is more than a boy group in the Korean music industry. They are multi-talented and flexible individuals with so much passion for their craft. Our boys have gone a long way and will continue doing so together. Keep supporting, them fellow A.R.M.Ys!

[News] ‘Learn Korean With BTS’ Aims To Break Down Language Barrier & Further Connect Global Fans | Forbes [200323]

BTS is looking to forge an ever closer connection with their global fans and the launch of a new initiative will help them connect through one of the most difficult ways TK.

On March 22 local time, BTS’ Korean home label of Big Hit Entertainment announced the launch of ‘Learn Korean With BTS,’ a new video-focused content initiate to help fans pick up and learn the Korean language.

According to a press release, the initiative is aimed to “make it easy and fun for global fans who have difficulty enjoying BTS’ music and contents due to the language barrier.” Big Hit says that previous BTS video series that have been shared on platforms like YouTube and VLive—including the ‘Run BTS!’ ‘Bangtan Bomb’ and ‘BTS Episode’ series—will be reassembled with a focus on the Korean expressions frequently used by RM, Jin, J-Hope, Suga, Jimin, V and Jungkook. Each video will be about three minutes and feature simple Korean grammar and expressions.

Professors and researchers at institutions like Hankuk University of Foreign Studies and the Korea Language Contents Institute also participated in creating the content.

Big Hit adds that there are plans to bring more education-based content and expand this venture to other artists under the Big Hit label family that includes fellow boy band Tomorrow X Together, girl group GFriend and more acts on their way soon.

“With the recent popularity of K-pop and other Korean cultural contents, the demand for learning Korean is increasing greatly,” Big Hit said in a statement. “We are planning Korean education contents to improve our accessibility. We hope that through learning Korean, global fans will be able to deeply empathize with the music of artists and enjoy a wide range of contents.”

While the massive success of BTS has certainly proven that any language barrier is a minor concern when it comes to connecting with fans around the world, utilizing already popular content (the ‘Bangtan Bomb’ videos have earned more than 75 million views collectively on YouTube) can forge a different type of empathy and understanding between fan and artist. And no doubt help continue fans’ growing interest in Korean music, artists and culture at large.

Those interested can look forward to the first three episodes being released at 2:00PM KST (1:00AM EST) on March 24 with episodes airing a total of 30 times. After that, one episode will be released every Monday at 9:00PM KST. All the contents are available for free for anyone who signs up on Weverse, the fan-community app created by Big Hit Entertainment that boasts more than 3.8 million BTS fans taking part in the service.

BTS: The K-Pop Group That Lastly Won America Over

In 2017, if you asked most Americans to name just one Korean performing artist, odds are higher the answer would happen to be a resounding "BTS." Called "Bangtan Sonyeondan" in their residence of South Korea, this seven-member boy band has grown from a nearby pop sensation to a global phenomenon that is created "K-pop" a household word in households that have in all probability in no way even looked at South Korea on a map. How did they do the not possible, and crack the elusive and highly-competitive American marketplace? Not only crack it; smashed it towards the tune (no pun intended) of 1.6 million song downloads, over a billion on the web streams, in addition to a veritable army -- literally "ARMY" as their fanbase is recognized -- of screaming admirers at every look on their current U.S. circuit. No matter that those fans, for probably the most element, never truly fully grasp the Korean lyrics of big hits like "DNA" and "Mic Drop." That hasn't stopped BTS devotees from singing along in phonetic approximation, screaming the band members' names in unison with their patented "fan chants," and, perhaps most crucially, from purchasing their record. The group's latest album, 2017's Adore Yourself: Her, sold nearly 1.5 million physical copies, in line with South Korea's Gaon chart. (PROBYN BECK/AFP/Getty Photos) That tends to make them, by a long shot, the bestselling K-pop album of 2017, and arguably probably the most profitable K-pop act of all time -- exceptional once you take into consideration the demand they've been able to produce in English-speaking markets. It's so exceptional, in actual fact, that it's earned members Jungkook, Jimin, Jin, J-Hope, V, Suga and RM, a well-deserved collective spot on the 2018 Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia list, an accolade that BTS is pleased to share with their supporters. "We assume countless folks have helped us come this far," the band said, in an emailed interview with Forbes. "We have noticed the list in newspapers, sometime in the past. Being a portion of it's [a] wonderful honor." Formed in 2013 by little-known South Korea label Significant Hit Entertainment, the band initially favored a much more hip-hop bent ahead of refining their sound. Their rise to fame wasn’t some overnight solution of mass advertising and savvy pop packaging. BTS constructed their fame deliberately and unhurriedly, with slow burn albums like two Cool four Skool, O!RUL8,2?, and Skool Appreciate Affair, which collectively comprised their "school trilogy" series and found moderate success in South Korea and Japan. By 2016, BTS had started their hypersonic rise to international fame. Their second album, Wings, broke records as the highest debut of a K-pop album inside the U.S., and just 1 brief year later, they smashed that record when Really like Your self: Her peaked at #7 around the Billboard 200. (Image Group LA by way of Getty Images) BTS Those numbers are not just meaningless figures. The group's on-the-ground assistance in the U.S. reflects the mania the band is capable of inducing, fans turning up en masse to appearances on important talk shows like "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" and naturally, their historic performance in the American Music Awards, where they became the initial Korean boy band ever to execute.

BTS: The K-Pop Group That Lastly Won America More than

In 2017, in the event you asked most Americans to name just a single Korean performing artist, odds are high the answer would have already been a resounding "BTS." Generally known as "Bangtan Sonyeondan" in their home of South Korea, this seven-member boy band has grown from a neighborhood pop sensation to a worldwide phenomenon that's produced "K-pop" a household word in households which have in all probability never ever even looked at South Korea on a map. How did they do the not possible, and crack the elusive and highly-competitive American market place? Not only crack it; smashed it towards the tune (no pun intended) of 1.6 million song downloads, over a billion on the net streams, as well as a veritable army -- literally "ARMY" as their fanbase is identified -- of screaming admirers at every single appearance on their recent U.S. circuit. No matter that these fans, for by far the most aspect, never actually recognize the Korean lyrics of significant hits like "DNA" and "Mic Drop." That hasn't stopped BTS devotees from singing along in phonetic approximation, screaming the band members' names in unison with their patented "fan chants," and, probably most crucially, from purchasing their record. The group's newest album, 2017's Adore Yourself: Her, sold almost 1.five million physical copies, as outlined by South Korea's Gaon chart. (PROBYN BECK/AFP/Getty Images) That tends to make them, by a lengthy shot, the bestselling K-pop album of 2017, and arguably the most productive K-pop act of all time -- remarkable if you take into account the demand they've been able to create in English-speaking markets. It really is so exceptional, in truth, that it is earned members Jungkook, Jimin, Jin, J-Hope, V, Suga and RM, a well-deserved collective spot on the 2018 Forbes 30 Beneath 30 Asia list, an accolade that BTS is pleased to share with their supporters. "We assume a great number of people have helped us come this far," the band said, in an emailed interview with Forbes. "We have seen the list in newspapers, sometime in the past. Getting a element of it truly is [a] great honor." Formed in 2013 by little-known South Korea label Significant Hit Entertainment, the band initially favored a extra hip-hop bent ahead of refining their sound. Their rise to fame wasn’t some overnight solution of mass marketing and savvy pop packaging. BTS constructed their fame deliberately and unhurriedly, with slow burn albums like 2 Cool 4 Skool, O!RUL8,2?, and Skool Enjoy Affair, which collectively comprised their "school trilogy" series and identified moderate accomplishment in South Korea and Japan. By 2016, BTS had began their hypersonic rise to international fame. Their second album, Wings, broke records as the highest debut of a K-pop album within the U.S., and just 1 quick year later, they smashed that record when Enjoy Yourself: Her peaked at #7 on the Billboard 200. (Image Group LA through Getty Photos) BTS Those numbers are not just meaningless figures. The group's on-the-ground support within the U.S. reflects the mania the band is capable of inducing, fans turning up en masse to appearances on main speak shows like "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" and naturally, their historic efficiency at the American Music Awards, exactly where they became the very first Korean boy band ever to perform. Their popularity overseas appears to have come as a surprise to even BTS, but they see a good opportunity in their higher profile. "Lately, we [have] begun to realize our influence on persons, particularly on our fans. We just hope that, with BTS, quite a few people in the world will feel consolation and healing, and share their stories, whether or not it be grand or little. We definitely want to be a element of such a cool globe!" It makes sense that BTS would be somewhat taken aback by their influence on their fans. Their followers, known collectively as "Adorable Representative M.C for Youth" or acronymized as ARMY, are notoriously organized, and capable of mobilizing the band's fanbase across social media platforms to impressive impact; it was coordinated campaigns by fans that have led to key business awards like the Leading Social Artist Award at final year's Billboard Music Awards.

[INTERVISTA] I BTS fanno sold-out al Prudential Center e raccontano cosa li aspetta in futuro

“I BTS -diminuitivo per Bangtan Boys- è un gruppo di sette ragazzi della Corea del Sud. Il gruppo ha debuttato nel 2013 e nell’arco di un anno hanno vinto premi ai MelOn Music Awards, ai Golden Disk Awards e ai Seoul Music Awards. I BTS hanno scritto la storia con il loro secondo full album “Wings” che si è posizionato primo su iTunes in circa 30 paesi e ha debuttato alla posizione 26 sulla Billboard 200; precedentemente nessun album K-pop si era posizionato così in alto nelle classifiche americane. Forbes ha riconosciuto i BTS come gli artisti più ritwittati su Twitter nel Marzo del 2016, mentre Billboard li ha posizionati al primo posto nella classifica Social 50 ad Ottobre 2016. All’inizio di quest’anno i BTS sono arrivati quinti sulla lista Power Celebrity di Forbes Korea.

Il 2017 non ha portato con sé solamente il rilascio di un nuovo album dei BTS, You Never Walk Alone, ma ha dato anche il via ad un loro tour mondiale. È stato riportato che 117,000 sono stati i biglietti venduti per questo tour che includono le date di New York al Prudential Center il 23 e il 24 Marzo. Seguendo la coppia di concerti sold-out a Newark, i BTS sono andati sold-out anche a Chicago e ad Anaheim. Per  festeggiare questo evento, Downtown ha intervistato via e-mail tutti i membri dei BTS: Rap Monster (Kim Namjoon, leader, rapper), Jin (Kim Seokjin, vocalist), Suga (Min Yoongi, rapper), J-Hope (Jung Hoseok, coreografo e rapper), Jimin (Park Jimin, vocalist), V (Kim Taehyung, vocalist), Jungkook (Jeon Jungkook, vocalist).

-DOMANDA- I BTS sono stati in tour a New York nel 2015 con il loro  2015 BTS Live Trilogy Episode II: The Red Bullet. Era la vostra prima volta a New York? JK: Sì, è stata la nostra prima volta a New York. Eravamo emozionati quando abbiamo sentito che ci saremmo tornati per un concerto più grande, con nuove canzoni ed esibizioni.

-DOMANDA- Avete provato qualche ristorante mentre eravate a New York? Avete qualche episodio particolarmente memorabile da raccontarci di quando avete visitato la città? RM: Ho amato Shake Shack l’ultima volta che sono stato a New York. Il miglior hamburger finora! Grazie al cielo abbiamo Shake Shack anche a Seul adesso. Sono rimasto incantato dal panorama a Times Square perché era la mia prima volta da turista lì. JH: Allora provai un ristorante coreano a New York e la cucina era una delle migliori coreane del mondo. Ho amato camminare per l’area di Midtown e per Times Square. Fantastico! V: Ho mangiato il miglior cibo coreano a Korea Town a New York!

-DOMANDA- Avrete del tempo per visitare New York durante le date del vostro tour? JK: I nostri impegni sono davvero tanti questa volta visto che abbiamo degli altri concerti da tenere a Chicago e a Los Angeles. Speriamo di poter trovare del tempo per esplorare New York durante il viaggio per vedere il bellissimo panorama notturno e tutto il resto.

-DOMANDA- Avete un artista preferito che viene da New York? RM: Nas, Biggie, A$AP Rocky, Lady Gaga. V: Maxwell. J: Jay-Z.

-DOMANDA- Qual è la vostra canzone preferita nell’album “You Never Walk Alone”? SU: “Spring Day”, la title track. Ho scritto il testo basandomi su una mia storia personale che riguarda i miei vecchi amici. JK: “Not Today”. Ha un testo molto energico che emoziona le persone e specialmente amo la coreografia della canzone. È una delle migliori dei BTS.

-DOMANDA- Escluso il tour mondiale che cosa c’è in programma per voi e per i BTS? JK: Il tour è l’evento più importante per noi in questo 2017. Stiamo cercando di visitare quante più possibili città quest’anno. Abbiamo anche intenzione di scrivere altra musica individualmente.

-DOMANDA- Qual è la vostra parte preferita quando siete in tour? JM: La mia parte preferita è che possiamo incontrare centinaia di fan provenienti da diverse parti del modo. Ovunque andiamo i fan sono entusiasti e ci mostrano il loro affetto incondizionato. È una esperienza speciale per noi cantare ed esibirci davanti a persone che cantano insieme a noi canzoni in coreano.

-DOMANDA- Quando non siete occupati a lavorare in quanto BTS che cosa vi piace fare nel vostro tempo libero? J: Quando non ci alleniamo io resto a casa e mi riposo. Mi piace giocare ai videogiochi con gli altri membri e guardare la tv. JH: Io scrivo testi o mi diverto a giocare con tracce che ho scritto. Cerco anche di studiare lingue straniere durante il mio tempo libero. JK: Io vado in palestra di tanto in tanto e gioco con i miei hyung a casa. RM: Io di solito leggo libri durante il mio tempo libero. Esco e mi vedo con i miei amici qualche volta. Ma per la maggior parte del tempo passeggio per la città ascoltando musica.

-DOMANDA- Qual è stato il vostro album preferito del 2016? JH: The Divine Feminine di Mac Miller. J: Ology di Gallant. RM: dvsn dei dvsn, Your Eyez Only di J.Cole, EP Collage dei Chainsmokers, Purpose di Justin Bieber e Skin di Flume.

Làm thế nào BTS, Wanna One, Big Bang và ban nhạc K-Pop khác đang bốc cháy thời trang

New Post has been published on http://www.thoitrangkpop.com/lam-the-nao-bts-wanna-one-big-bang-va-ban-nhac-k-pop-khac-dang-boc-chay-thoi-trang/

Làm thế nào BTS, Wanna One, Big Bang và ban nhạc K-Pop khác đang bốc cháy thời trang

Làm thế nào BTS, Wanna One, Big Bang và ban nhạc K-Pop khác đang bốc cháy thời trang

Vì video “Gangnam Style” của Psy đã lan truyền vào năm 2012, nhạc pop Hàn Quốc đã tăng chậm – cho đến bây giờ. Nó nhanh chóng biến thành hiện tượng toàn cầu. Từ thực phẩm đến vẻ đẹp đến thời trang, K-Wave tiếp tục xây dựng – với những ngôi sao âm nhạc tích lũy những người hâm mộ và hàng triệu người theo dõi trên truyền thông xã hội.

Nhiều thương hiệu – từ các tên thể thao như Nike, Adidas, Puma và Reebok đến các nhãn hàng xa xỉ như Gucci và Fendi – đang chú ý đến ảnh hưởng lan rộng của K-Pop.

“Người tiêu dùng trẻ tuổi tiếp xúc với nhiều người nổi tiếng và giải trí hơn trước đây, và K-Pop đã gây được tiếng vang”, Beth Goldstein, nhà phân tích giày dép và phụ kiện thời trang tại The NPD Group Inc. cho biết. Đối với một thương hiệu thời trang, hợp tác với các nghệ sĩ K-Pop là một cách duy nhất để có được trước một nhân khẩu học mong muốn trên quy mô toàn cầu hơn. ”

“Đó là một phần của zeitgeist. Video của họ là tác phẩm nghệ thuật, ”Marc Beckman, Giám đốc điều hành của công ty quảng cáo DMA United cho biết. “Âm nhạc cao cấp và mở rộng đến hàng hóa. K-Pop là một biểu hiện của văn hóa thanh niên, và nó sẽ tiếp tục phát triển vượt ra ngoài âm nhạc. ”

Dưới đây là một cái nhìn năm nhóm có tất cả mọi người nói chuyện.

BTS

Nhóm nhạc Hàn Quốc BTS là một trong những nghệ sĩ hot nhất trong âm nhạc hiện nay, và mặc dù phát hành một album không phải tiếng Anh trong năm nay, nhóm này đang đạt được nhiều thành công ở Mỹ.

BTS, bao gồm V, Suga, JungKook, RM, Jin, J-Hope và Jimin, đã vượt qua ranh giới văn hóa kể từ khi hình thành vào năm 2013.

Ví dụ, album “Tear” là bản phát hành đầu tiên của một nghệ sĩ Hàn Quốc đứng đầu bảng xếp hạng Billboard 200 khi ra mắt vào tháng Năm. Single duy nhất trong album, “Fake Love”, là bài hát đầu tiên của một nhóm K-Pop đột nhập vào Top 10 của Billboard Hot 10.

Với gần 12 triệu người theo dõi trên Instagram, BTS có cơ sở người hâm mộ trung thành, được mệnh danh là Quân đội BTS – và một số người trong cuộc so sánh cơn sốt với Beatlemania.

Trong năm 2017, ban nhạc được xem nhiều nhất trong số các tài khoản nổi tiếng và cũng là giải thưởng Nghệ sĩ xã hội hàng đầu tại Giải thưởng âm nhạc Billboard năm đó. Nó đã giành được vinh dự tại giải thưởng năm nay. Puma đã hợp tác với BTS tại Hàn Quốc vào năm 2015.
