“international music phenomenon”

Слайд 4they were called dirty spoon kpop
nobody believed in them.
Слайд 5Initially rooted in hip hop, BTS' musical style has evolved to include
a wide range of genres. Their lyrics, often focused on personal and social commentary, touch on the themes of mental health, troubles of school-age youth, loss, the journey towards loving oneself, and individualism. Their work features references to literature and psychological concepts and includes an alternative universe storyline.
Слайд 6These guys raced to stand on the stage, perform and create
music. But few people think about what is behind each of them.
They're from a small company with no money, no influence.
In 2014, the group wanted to disband, because there was no money.
Each time they were completely given on the stage. On the streets of America, they handed out leaflets and asked to come to a free concert.
Слайд 7The band is the first and only Korean act as of
2019 to top the U.S. Billboard 200 with their studio album Love Yourself: Tear (2018) and have since hit the top of the U.S. charts with their albums Love Yourself: Answer (2018) and Map of the Soul: Persona (2019), making BTS the first group since The Beatles to earn three number one albums in less than a year. Love Yourself: Answer also broke South Korea's Gaon Album Chart's all-time monthly record previously set by Love Yourself: Tear and became the first Korean album certified Gold in the United States. In 2018, BTS had the second and third best-selling albums worldwide and were the second best-selling artists worldwide, coming second only to Drake. In 2019, Map of the Soul: Persona became the best-selling album in Korean history according to Gaon, and BTS became the best-selling artist in South Korea of all time, having sold over fourteen million albums.
Слайд 8They were humiliated and not accepted. There are so many sterotypes
in the world that Asian bands are dolls that don't write songs, don't sing anything, they do plastic surgery and look like women

Слайд 10BTS's Top Group Win At 2019 BBMAs Marks New Era Of
Globalized Music
In 2019, BTS breaking YouTube records and making history on music charts is of little surprise to anyone remotely attuned to the current state of pop culture. The South Korean septet is undeniably At The Top when it comes to interest from audiences, and recently performed in front of 120,000 people during the kick-off weekend of their Love Yourself: Speak Yourselfstadium concert series at the Rose Bowl in Los Angeles. But when it comes to recognition at American award shows, the state of existence for BTS has been quite a bit different. But things changed at the 2019 Billboard Music Awards (BBMAs) on May 1. As they were named the top group of the night at the Billboard-based award show, the BBMA win signaled a major moment not only for BTS and their career but for the entire state of music in the 21st century.

Слайд 12"I would like to begin by talking about myself.
"I was born
in Ilsan, a city near Seoul, South Korea. It’s a beautiful place, with a lake, hills, and even an annual flower festival. I spent a happy childhood there, and I was just an ordinary boy.
"I would look up at the night sky in wonder and dream the dreams of a boy. I used to imagine that I was a superhero, saving the world.
"In an intro to one of our early albums, there is a line that says, “My heart stopped…I was maybe nine or ten.”
"Looking back, that’s when I began to worry about what other people thought of me and started seeing myself through their eyes. I stopped looking up at the stars at night. I stopped daydreaming. I tried to jam myself into moulds that other people made. Soon, I began to shut out my own voice and started to listen to the voices of others. No one called out my name, and neither did I. My heart stopped and my eyes closed shut. So, like this, I, we, all lost our names. We became like ghosts.
"I had one sanctuary, and that was music. There was a small voice in me that said, ‘Wake up, man, and listen to yourself!” But it took me a long time to hear music calling my name.
"Even after making the decision to join BTS, there were hurdles. Most people thought we were hopeless. Sometimes, I just wanted to quit
"I think I was very lucky that I didn’t give it all up.
Слайд 13"I’m sure that I, and we, will keep stumbling and falling.
We have become artists performing in huge stadiums and selling millions of albums.
"But I am still an ordinary, twenty-four-year-old guy. If there’s anything that I’ve achieved, it was only possible because I had my other BTS members by my side, and because of the love and support of our ARMY fans.
"Maybe I made a mistake yesterday, but yesterday’s me is still me. I am who I am today, with all my faults. Tomorrow I might be a tiny bit wiser, and that’s me, too. These faults and mistakes are what I am, making up the brightest stars in the constellation of my life. I have come to love myself for who I was, who I am, and who I hope to become.
"I would like to say one last thing.
"After releasing the “Love Yourself” albums and launching the “Love Myself” campaign, we started to hear remarkable stories from our fans all over the world, how our message helped them overcome their hardships in life and start loving themselves. These stories constantly remind us of our responsibility.
Слайд 14"So, let’s all take one more step. We have learned to
love ourselves, so now I urge you to “speak yourself.”
"I would like to ask all of you. What is your name? What excites you and makes your heart beat?
"Tell me your story. I want to hear your voice, and I want to hear your conviction. No matter who you are, where you’re from, your skin colour, gender identity: speak yourself.
"Find your name, find your voice by speaking yourself.
"I’m Kim Nam Jun, RM of BTS.
"I’m a hip-hop idol and an artist from a small town in Korea.
"Like most people, I made many mistakes in my life.
"I have many faults and I have many fears, but I am going to embrace myself as hard as I can, and I’m starting to love myself, little by little.
"What is your name? Speak Yourself!"
