Default Your Opinions on K-Pop Sensation BTS? their most recent charitable successes
https://www.thejakartapost.com/life/...ire-award.html

this year they had won 2020 Unicef Inspire Award for their ''Love Myself'' Campaign

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love_Myself_(campaign)

Purpose for campaign was ''Anti-Violence''

something they made headlines for too back in 2018, when they were invited by UN, for their speech for this campaign

They entertain, they bring pleasure to millions.
Good for them.
I also think they do bridge age groups.

I think for their energy and dedication their acclaim is warranted.

tbh i am not one of those hardcore k-pop fans either

but i just like these guys a lot, how they use their social media following, resources to their advantage to try and make the world a better place



remember gangnam style icon Psy, he is a dad now of 2, and he has his own record label for new talented singers, rappers

I actually do like some of their performances.
You forget, I was and remain a fan of Jedward too.

I like a wide variation of music really.

there has been rumours about one of their members ''Jin''

Kim Seok-Jin what his full name is

if he is the son of a CEO, speculation either can be Kim Nam-Jung (of Dongwon Industries a major fishing company) or Kim Nam-Goo (of Korean Investment Holdings, one of south-korean major banks) those 2 Nam-Goo, Nam-Jung are related as well, through Kim Jae-Chul who was founder of Dongwon Industries

and speculations his mother is a former Miss Korea pageant (either contestant or winner not sure there but she has a familiar face)


but Jin himself always kept his personal life very private, only said his father to be a CEO of a major company with a overseas office in germany

maybe this is why he kept it private, not to be seen as a ''rich kid who has a perfect life, perfect family'' very admirable how despite this background he fought for his place in BTS, same as every other member of the group

here they are again, an empowering message about lifting each other through hard times, at a Youth Day Ceremony which south korean president Moon also attended

there was social distancing, everyone wore masks too at this event, and it was in the open air

Their fans are mostly teenage girls so the immaturity makes sense
