  7. Fan Chant: Can BTS Songs Help You Learn Korean? Experts Say Yes by Mary Siroky It’s a long-running joke within the BTS fandom, and one that’s had waves of resurgence in the TikTok age: We all become fluent in Korean when “Just One Day” comes on. The song dropped way back in 2014 (a decade ago!) on the band’s second EP, Skool Luv Affair, but has stayed in heavy rotation throughout the last ten years. As members of ARMY can attest, there’s just something about that chorus that flows so smoothly — even those of us totally unfamiliar with the language manage to pick it up quickly and easily. Personally, I know some basics; I can introduce myself and count to three, but I don’t know how to read Hangul and have yet to tackle the tricky grammar and sentence structure. I do think I would be pretty unstoppable as an interviewer if I could speak Korean, so maybe this is the universe keeping me in balance. But regardless — turn on “Just One Day,” and I’m locked in. According to a study commissioned by the folks at LTL Language School, this phenomenon makes sense. “The intersection of entertainment and education underscores how music acts as a gateway to language acquisition,” they explain, naming the song as an example of “easing your way into learning Korean.” In the case of “Just One Day” in particular, which they note as “one of the most accessible songs to follow if you’re trying to learn Korean,” the clear pronunciation from the members, the soothing nature of the song, and BTS’s emotional delivery combine to make it that much easier to understand. Even listeners who could never begin to translate word for word understand the message and themes being communicated — but those who do have a basis to start to mentally translate will be in a great place. According to these researchers, BTS’s music is a great place to start for other reasons, too. Longtime members of the fandom know this already, but the wealth of resources available for people curious about delving deeper into lyric translations is so vast and rich. The study goes on to shout out some other K-pop favorites, like IU’s “Lilac,” which is also so dreamy and wonderful, but I’d love to hear about more songs you’ve found have that magic effect on your brain. In the meantime, I’m gonna give this classic a spin. ctto
  8. IU Becomes 1st Female Artist In Melon Top 100 History To Debut A Song At No. 1 With “Love Wins All” by E. Cha IU has made Melon history with her new single! On January 24 at 6 p.m. KST, IU made her highly-anticipated return with her pre-release single “Love wins all.” Just one hour later, the song debuted at No. 1 on Melon’s Top 100, in addition to several other domestic realtime music charts. With this achievement, “Love wins all” has become only the second song in the history of Melon’s Top 100 chart—which was newly introduced in August 2021 after Melon’s chart reform—to debut at No. 1 an hour after its release. The only other song to achieve the feat to date is BTS’s “Yet To Come,” making IU the first female artist ever to debut a song at No. 1. Congratulations to IU on her impressive feat! If you haven’t already seen it, check out IU’s cinematic music video for “Love wins all” starring BTS’s V here! ctto
  9. p.s FYI, there's an interpretation guide by IU's agency after the MV's release and some even mentioned that the song is for her fandom UAENA based on a letter written by IU. As for me, I'm thankful that Tae got to act as he wish before the enlistment. (This means we'll see the behind scenes laterrrrr) ctto
  10. BTS’s Jimin’s “FACE” Re-Enters Billboard 200 + Returns To No. 1 On World Albums Chart Following Vinyl Release by E. Cha Nearly a year after its initial release, BTS’s Jimin’s solo debut album is back on the Billboard 200! On January 23 local time, Billboard announced that Jimin’s 2023 album “FACE” had re-entered its Top 200 Albums chart (which ranks the most popular albums in the United States) at No. 59 following its recent release on vinyl. The album initially debuted at No. 2 back when it was first released last year, setting a new record for the highest ranking ever achieved by a Korean solo artist on the Billboard 200. In addition to re-entering the Billboard 200, “FACE” debuted at No. 2 on Billboard’s Vinyl Albums chart this week. It also climbed back up to the top of Billboard’s World Albums chart, marking its fifth non-consecutive week at No. 1 (and its 37th week on the chart overall). Meanwhile, “FACE” re-entered both Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart and Top Current Album Sales chart at No. 4, meaning it was the fourth best-selling album of the week in the United States. Finally, Jimin re-entered Billboard’s Artist 100 at No. 26, marking his 11th overall week on the chart. Congratulations to Jimin! ctto

  12. It's here: Watch: IU And BTS’s V Tell A Heartbreaking Love Story In Cinematic MV For “Love Wins All” IU has returned with an emotional new music video starring BTS’s V! On January 24 at midnight KST, IU released the highly-anticipated music video for her upcoming single “Love wins all.” Directed by “Concrete Utopia” director Um Tae Hwa, the music video for “Love wins all” tells a heartbreaking story of a couple on the run as they fight to survive in a post-apocalyptic future. IU’s pre-release single “Love wins all” will drop at 6 p.m. KST. ctto p.s It's beautiful, and it's sad. It took me watching "with" some reactors to understand the possible meaning of the storyline and the song. Thank you IU and Tae - this brought me back to their talk in IU's Palette.
  13. Thank you. I need to explain more about the sentences that you highlighted " That's the best way to practice listening and speaking." I think the better wording would be "That is one of the best ways of practising L & S" since every one of us is unique. One that works for me, might work or might not work for somebody else. Another factor is our preferences, some like to watch drama, some like to listen to songs, etc. The important factor is we have to make ourselves surrounded by an environment that will help us practice the target language as much as possible I still have a long way to go... Yes, I have heard about the language learning tool on VIKI. Netflix also has provided the Korean CC nowadays as an option. As for Romanization, it's a NO, NO for me if you can read Hangeul (which is not that difficult to learn). It's better if you can listen to how the native speaker pronounces the word. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Chart info ctto
