KT Blog 2: BTS

Heya! I need to start putting alarm clocks or something to remember to write these blogs. Anyways... have you guys heard of BTS? (I'm promoting, don't hate) They're a K-Pop group (South Korean). They consist of 7 amazing members: RM, Jin, Suga, J-hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook. My favorite is Suga, known as a bias in the K-Pop world, and BTS as a whole are all bias wreckers. They just released their new album, Love Yourself 'Tear', with their title song "Fake Love,” (Click song name to listen to song) which continues the story from their Wings and Love Yourself “Her” albums. RM quote from an interview when asked to explain their song “Fake Love”: “How can you love the things and people that surround you, if you can't love yourself?” The man can be pretty deep…(I say this, but I'm literally talking about the same guy that in their “BTS are interviewed with puppies” interview one of the puppies accidentally pees on the floor and he had to make the pun that’s why they are called puppies.. pup-pees. Lol)

They've won many awards since debuting in 2013, 12 this year, actually! They won the award for Top Social Artist at the BBMAs twice this year, and have been nominated for 4 awards in the RDMAs. (Army, fandom name, were also nominated for an award at the RDMAs: Squad Goals)

Anyways, if you want a more English Song (The whole song pretty much besides the first part) "Mic Drop" Steve Aoki remix would be a good choice for you. (Click link on name to listen to song)

And if you think it's silly that I posted something like this, let me just state something. Have you listened to "Despacito"? That song is literally in SPANISH, and you're telling me you can't be open to Korean? But your opinion, I guess. I just felt like ranting for a minute.

Okay, I think that's close enough to the word count. (I honestly just put this to add more words). I'll probably do another blog about BTS, I can't help it, they literally just about took over my whole life. I'll probably even add more kpop groups as I go. So yeah, I'm out!

  1. Oh, Katie. You wouldn’t be yourself if you didn’t bring up BTS. I think it’s crazy that they’ve won 12 awards this year! They’re starting to go mainstream, but I have heard them on my pop station. The first time I hear them on my radio, I will call you so fast! You are so right about people being bothered about Korean music, but listening to Spanish music. I didn’t really care for Despacito, because I didnt understand what was being said. One of these days when I am able to speak every language, I will be able to enjoy all music. I will focus on learning English first, though. I’m so glad you are so passionate about this band! I haven’t really loved a band since 1D, and it’s kind of sad. When they split up, it broke my heart. I sure hope BTS doesn’t do the same to you.

  2. Of course you would write a blog about BTS. I would be worried if you did not. I can totally relate to you at this moment about the love you have for your favorite band. I love One Direction so much, as some of you might know. Even when they split, I still loved them. Now I am also a huge fan of their solo careers. But I hope you never have to hear one day that your favorite band splits up. It is completely heartbreaking. I remember being upset for like a month. Someday I will be listening to their music, which is a 24/7 thing for me, and I’ll get upset because I know there will be nothing new for me to hear. Continue loving your band. I promise I will never make another comment about them.

  3. Of course you would write a blog about BTS. You're as obsessed with them as I am with my favorite TV shows, Supernatural and The Walking Dead. I have listened to a few of their songs, but I just do not like them. I have nothing against them or their music, I just don't like it. It's not something I am into. You and Heavyn have both tried to get me to listen to it, and I refuse to. There is just something about it. I would rather listen to Guns N' Roses or Bon Jovi if I'm being honest. Okay, that's all I've got. - Tiffany F.
