Arirang TV's digital content brand A Plus will produce and broadcast a special feature 'A + Kahaani' featuring 'Growth of BTS Leader RM', which has become a global idol.
In September, the global K-Pop group BTS was the first Korean singer to join the un podium on the afternoon of the 24th. BTS leader RM has been a fluent English language for about seven minutes, throwing a message to the younger generation with personal experiences, and proving to be a global group representing Korea with hot applause.
In a un speech, RM said, “BTS is an idol who speaks at a large theater and sells millions of tickets, but I am still a normal 24-year-old boy.” “All I have achieved is thanks to the love of BTS members and our fan, Ami.” So what efforts did this ordinary 24-year-old boy make to get to the un General Assembly?
It is no exaggeration to say that the secret of success until BTS, which is not a large agency, comes to the World stage, is not only musical elements but also steady communication with global K-Pop fans through SNS. When new idol groups were turning CDs on domestic broadcasters to appear on domestic broadcasts, BTS turned to overseas early on.
Arirang TV, a global broadcaster representing Korea, has appeared in the program Simply K-Pop and After School Club, which was newly launched in 2012 to contribute to the overseas expansion of K-Pop groups.
In particular, Leader RM played a major role in securing early overseas fans of BTS, who was a rookie at the time, with a fluent English language at Arirang TV 'After School Club', which is being conducted in real time with overseas fans through live broadcasts of all World simultaneous broadcasts. I called myself 'English language manager' and explained not only the album introduction but also the musical philosophy fluently and spread BTS' music World to global fans. In addition, RM has played a number of special MCs for Arirang TV 'Simply K-Pop' and 'After School Club' and expanded BTS fandom every year.
Kahaani, a special feature of A Plus, has appeared on Arirang TV since 2013 and has been actively communicating with global fans as a leader of BTS. He has shown all the growth processes from RM's early days to the un speech scene.
BTS RM's 'Global Leader Growth' will be delivered to all World mobile viewers through the channel of A Plus, a digital content brand dedicated to Arirang TV, at 4 pm on October 2 (Tuesday).
