BTS has just finished his debut in American TV through their
performance "DNA" in American Music Awards. It made them became the 1st Kpop group
that performed there and the 2nd Korean Artist after Psy, who is famous because of
the single Gangnam Style in 2012. Their debut in US was never been planned before. It came out because so many invitation came from US.
AMAs was their 2nd appearance in the biggest music event in
America after their 1st in Billboard Music Awards (BBMAs). They even brought
home an award in BBMAs as Top Social Artist with 300 million votes. That was an
award that Justin Bieber got for 5 years in a row. But this year it was given
to BTS.
The appearance BTS in America attracted many media in
America. It was like everyday in 10 days while they were in US, they had so
many interviews in radios in LA. They even were invited to have exclusive
interviews in the 3 big tv shows in America such as Late Late Show, Jimmy
Kimmel, and Ellen Show.
That was such an amazing achievement they had. When they
return to Korea, many media comes to the airport to report their coming back home
with the glory. They truly make their country proud of them.
Start from the bottom with a lot of talents
Who doesn’t proud of them when they can gain this huge
popularity when they started the music from the bottom? They come from the
small agency with the worry whether they would ever make debut or not. Even
when they finally made debut, they almost want to disband. However because of
their hard work without stop, finally they rich the top.
I became a fan of them started last year when they release Young Forever with the title track Fire. It was my friend who introduced me to
them. She always shared anything about BTS to me, then finally when they made
comeback with Fire, they really fired me and I start to get to know them through
their previous music and videos.
Their music is not only about love between man and woman
like many others group always sing. But they also bring about the story of our
life as teenagers, a young people, and even about social issue that might
people face in daily life. Their performance on stage is also no joke. They are well known for hard choreography. And yeah, their choreography is so energetic and powerful that will make you sweat when you try to follow.
As a one year fan, I already follow them with 3 comebacks. The music they brought in every comeback, I can say that it's getting better for the quality and even the genres. The themes in every comeback are also interested. They were inspired by classic literature that they put mysteriously in every teaser images or videos. It always makes their fans happily and curiously guessing the meaning behind their teaser and also the MV if it comes out. It seems like they educate their fans to read books, tho. I really like this concept.
Steve Aoki, a DJ who collaborates with BTS in Mic Drop Remix, stated in an interview with Billboard, “they're so creative on every level. On their dance, on their sound, on their style, their flow, creatively musically, creatively on the fashion tip.” I think what Steve Aoki said is true. They are so amazing not only about the music but also in every aspect. Each member has their own capacity that complete the group.
In KPop usually boy groups and girl groups don't compose or write their music by themselves. The agency of the group prepare composer and song writer separatedly, so the main job for the Idol is only to sing and dance. However BTS write their music by themselves with the help of their producers as well. Since then many other group in KPop start to write the music by themselves.
When I get to know more about them, there so many things I can
learn. They teach us to have big dreams, work hard, to think about social issues, to maximize their potency, and to have amazing team work. It makes me amazed and
proud to know there is such a boy band like that in this world.
However at the same time I also feel so small. Whenever I
see them work hard to make their music. I feel like I also want to do
something like that. Not in music of course. But I want to create something
amazing with the skill I have. I want to be busy like them. I want to say, “ I already worked hard.”
I want to break my limit but I don’t even know what is my
limit and how to challenge myself. I want to do something that can change my
life better and also be advantage for my social life, for my mom, my relatives,
and also for my religion. But I don’t know what should I do. I already in the age of my 20’s and I really wanna do something but how I can’t think about what should I do. However I still have my dream and I'm working my best to pursue it. At least if there is a competition, I always try to join if that something I can do.
BTS with their music, with something they have done in 7
years already make them now. Become the most famous boy band in the world with the
a lot of achievements. They also have such amazing attitude toward everyone esp
their fans. They treat their fans so well like their family. Even when many
interviewers ask about what the rudest thing their fans made, they always answer
that no such things happened, they love all everything about their fans because
what make them today is their fans. They really appreciate their fans.
BTS is such boy band you can learn from. They teach us not
only about music and social issue. So many people in their surroundings always
say that they have really good manner towards senior, even just for staffs for every people they cooperate, they
always help and greeting them one by one. That kind of the manner and behavior only big people
have. Once again I learn so much from them.
Moreover, their friendship in the group is the most envious for me. As the only kid in family, I really want to have such sibling like them. It will never happen though, but I hope someday I'll have co-worker and also a husband like them. lol.
