Summer Learning Journey 2019-20 | Week 4, Day 2 | Activity 2: K-pop heroes

Welcome to another post on my blog. This is the fourth week for the Summer Learning Journey 2019-20. If you don't know, the Summer Learning Journey is a holiday programme where we do blog posts over the summer holidays. This is because we don't drop down in our reading and writing. Because over the holidays, we have so much fun and not do any reading or writing, so we drop down in our scores.


The second week of this Summer Learning Journey is about All The World's A Stage - Arts and Entertainment.

Activity 2: K-pop heroes [4 points] 

BTS, or Bangtan Boys, is a seven member boy band from South Korea. They have sold over 15 million albums in South Korea, which make them the best selling artists in South Korea of all time. They have topped the music charts in the United States of America and around the world.

They began singing hip hop but now sing mostly K-Pop (Korean Pop). Most of their songs are sung in Korean - their first language.

BTS is famous for making great music videos and for singing about topics that many people can relate to - love, self-confidence, etc. They have a huge and very loyal fan base. Their fans are called the BTS A.R.M.Y.

For this activity, please watch this CBS Sunday Morning Special about BTS.

On your blog, tell us your opinion on BTS. Please don’t just say whether or not you like them, but tell us what it is that you like (or don’t like) about them.

It is amazing that BTS is being popular all around the world and grown so much in a short amount of time. Also, it is shocking that they are the first Korean act to sell out a U.S. stadium, the first K-Pop group to present at the Grammy Awards and the first Korean pop band to be featured on Time Magazine's Most Influential List. At a young age, they have been popular all around the world and are one of the most popular brands in the world. There is nothing which I don't like about them.


I hope you learnt something new and liked my post. Have a cool day!! Bye!!
