BTS Phenomenon BTS 현상
[Power Dialog]
Did you see the video of BTS on American television?
It looks like they did all the morning TV shows and late night talk shows.
I heard an American critic compare their music and lyrics to U2 and Bob Dylan because of their social and political commentary.
We might just be a witness to history. BTS could be as big as the Beatles if they have the staying power.
Speaking of the Beatles, I read on one of their fan sites that BTS is going to record their next album at Abbey Road Studio in London.
Don't believe everything you read. Their style of music doesn't lend itself to that kind of studio.
Yeah, it's most likely wishful thinking. Still, it would be pretty cool if they did.
