Possible Factors of BTS's Great Success (part 1)

So how exactly did they cross the language and culture barrier and become so popular worldwide? Today, I’m going to point out two aspects. 

The Start and Rising of BTS

When BTS just debuted in 2013, their agency, Bighit, wasn’t a very well known or rich company. (The three big agencies in Korea were SM, JYP, YG) So the agency couldn’t provide them with so many resources or opportunities to go on shows like the other groups. (In the beginning, they even had to go on the streets to promote their own concerts in person.) They were originally going to be a hip hop group similar to another group in the YG Entertainment, but Bang Si-hyunk, the CEO of Bighit, decided to make an idol group that can ignore the restrictions that Kpop was known for, and make socially conscious music.

What is Kpop?

The Korean wave, also known as Hallyu, means the rising popularity of Korean movies, dramas, music, fashion, and foods…etc. Hallyu has already been building for the last few decades, but among them, Korean pop music has become the most significantly popular recently. Most Kpop fans were only in Korea and a few other Asian countries back in 2010, but now, Kpop has gradually become a global phenomenon. Take “Gangnam Style” as an example, this song from the solo artist PSY, 2012, went super viral all around the world. Its music video even broke the upper limit of YouTube’s views, forcing YouTube to upgrade its system.

英文作文練習 - The Scientific Method

The scientific method helps people to find answers to their questions about the world. It includes six steps, and all of them are significant. Observing and asking a question are the first step. The next step is to find data that might help to answer the question. Then, people make a hypothesis based on what they observed and the data they collected. The fourth step is designing an experiment to test the hypothesis. Next, analyze data from the experiment. Drawing a conclusion is the sixth part of the scientific method. Last but not the least, if the conclusion matches the hypothesis, people can share the results with other people. If not, they have to make a new hypothesis and design a new experiment again. The scientific method, which includes the steps mentioned above, is a great access to knowing more about the world.

Problem and Solutions of Aging 英文作文練習

The population of elder people is increasing. The elderly need more attention and resources than us. Elder people are not as healthy as the younger people, and they cannot do so many things as us, either. In my point of view, however, it does not mean that the elderly are useless people. There  are still ways that the elderly can devote to the society, such as doing volunteer work in the museum after their retirement.  Keeping on engaging to the society can make the elderly  feel less bored, and they can also make some new friends. In the meanwhile, they will not become the heavy burden in our current life.
