If you don't have any idea about what is K-POP, then I'm going to let you know about it. K-POP is basically Korean Pop or you can say a completely different generation of music which is rising all over the world. Let's get back to the topic of Billboard Music Awards 2017 this year. The boy band who won this award this year is a K-POP band called BTS.
BTS stands for "Bangtan Sonyeondan" means Bulletproof Boy Scouts is a seven piece boy band from South Korea. They are just the boy next door, cool, humble and sweet at the same time. Their fandom called ARMY (Adorable Representative MC of Youth) who voted 300 million times for them on Billboard. This group consist of Jimin, Jin, Rap Monster, J-Hope, Jungkook, Suga and V.
Before they won Billboard music award, they were already on their first ever world tour called "Wings". They won numerous awards in Asia, including MAMA (Mnet Asian Music Awards) 2016 artist of the year. They become the first group who won this award but are not from 3 big companies like YG, SM and JYP.
BTS started from a small company called BigHit Entertainment. Their catchy lyrics, powerful music and crazy dance moves. They debuted back on 2013 and now here they are the biggest boy band on this planet. For the people who are new to K-POP or BTS we will recommend you to watch some of their music videos like "Boy In Love", "I Need You", "Dope", "Fire", "Save Me", Blood, Sweat & Tears", "Not Today".

I am a fan of kpop and i really love BTS as they are not usual type of Kpop boyband... they came from small music company in Korea unlike the usual boyband or girlband with company of SM or JYP. The good thing about BTS came from small company BigHit, that they received 100% opportunity and care by the company from writinh and composing music and designing their choreography. BTS is well known for boyband with dance of difficult steps... because the singer can dance and even tumbling and sometimes acrobatic will be performed dependent on the music they performed.
Being an idol such as BTS or the other such as EXO, WannaOne etc, they are trained since young age in order to dance and singing at the same time. They workout also to make their body looks slim and to make it acceptable as an idol because of the figure of idol is handsome or beautiul and slim... unlike in other countries, voice can be the priority, but in korea.... looks is the first priority to be the main requirement as an idol.
Being concerned about this matter, i am caring about BTS members who has to struggle the same issues. All I want to say here that I love BTS and love meaning is accepting the person no matter how they change physically right? I wish the best for BTS.
