BTS!

Have you heard of them? BTS (방탄소년단) is an extremely popular K-pop group. They originate from South Korea, and this month they will be in America to actually perform on a top Music Awards program. If you were unaware, last year this group also came to the U.S. to win and accept an award at the Billboard Music Awards. They won the Top Social Media Artist Award for 2017, and to the dismay of the K-pop audience (Yes there was a huge K-pop audience at that thing), they did not perform. However, the time is now!

It is Official! North America is about to be blown away by BTS

I am beyond myself at the moment. I am so super excited, and I wish I lived in the Western part of the U.S. at the moment since this is where they will be performing. Wait. What?! I didn't tell you which program they will be performing on? Well, here it goes...

The AMA's (American Music Awards)

I am very aware that this is an American Award show, but, I am so excited that my boys, BTS, will finally be showing what they can do to the rest of the world, and on a USA stage! It is unbelievable how big of a fan base is in North America, but to be honest, the whole reason they are performing and were invited to perform at the AMA's is because of the fans.

Who is BTS?

I have covered this topic before because let's face it, I love K-pop and am also a huge fan of BTS. So much of a fan that I would consider myself an ARMY (It is their loyal fanbase name). I will admit that while I type this out, I am actually listening to their songs right now. Anyways, let's continue.

BTS is a 7-member boy group. They came onto the music scene about 4 years ago and skyrocketed in popularity. Take a look at these guys:

Powerful magnificence. They will be showing some great synchronized choreography to a wonderfully different song compared to what North American's are used to. Yes, it will be almost completely in Korean. Embrace it and enjoy it, it certainly will be fun.

Extra Special Stuff

Extra! Extra! read all about it! Actually, it will be more like Watch all about it. Starting to like K-pop and maybe BTS a little bit more? Or, just secretly interestest or intrigued and want to see a bit more?
Well, good news for you as BTS is also going to be seen on your favorite talk shows. BTS has appearances scheduled for both Jimmy Kimmel Live and The Ellen Show. It should be a very fun time to see them on both shows. I will say though that even though they are from South Korea, one of the members is quite fluent in English so it should be good to watch.

Some great songs to check out

If you have enjoyed this post, or are just a bit more curious about K-pop, I am going to share with you a couple of my favorite songs. I love pretty much anything BTS, so I will share one additional song of theirs, but I will throw a few more up here that you may like as well. Hope you enjoy them.
