K-pop fans from all over the world face difficulties in understanding the lyrics of their favourite members during the interview due to language barriers. As reported by a leading media portal, BTS has launched a web series to help their fans to learn Korean themselves. The boy band will host 30 lessons on the social media app Weverse from March 24th.
The episodes are "designed to make it easy and fun for global fans who have difficulty enjoying BTS' music and contents due to the language barrier," said their record label in a statement.
The fans of K-Pop can utilise their time during self-quarantine as the Coronavirus outbreak has reached the pandemic stage. But it must be pointed out that the lessons were planned much before the COVID 19 outbreak. It was also reported by a leading entertainment portal that the idea of starting language lessons came about after the band’s passionate fanbase called for subtitles in English to be added to the band’s videos.
