K-pop (Korean Pop) is currently one of the fastest-growing global phenomena to hit the pop culture scene.
Albums by famous idols sell well over several million copies in the first week alone (sales in the first week after release). ‘FML’, released by the group Seventeen in April of this year, sold 6.2 million copies. Where is the house with a CD player these days?
Last year, the size of the domestic K-pop market reached 8 trillion won, equivalent to about 30% of the global music market. According to the ‘Global Album Sales’ announcement by the International Association of the Phonographic Industry, to which more than 8,000 record labels from around the world are members, 8 of the 10 best-selling albums in the world last year were K-pop.
Jin (real name Kim Seok-jin), who was the first member of BTS to enlist in December last year, completed basic military training at the 5th Infantry Division of the Yeoncheon Army in Gyeonggi-do and was assigned to the new recruit training center as an assistant instructor.
He was promoted to corporal early as he became a ‘special warrior’, a title that could be earned only if various conditions were met. J-Hope (real name Jeong Hoseok), who enlisted in April of this year, was selected as an assistant instructor at the Army 36th Division recruit training center in Gangwon-do.
Last July, he directly said through Weverse, “I am currently serving as an assistant training instructor for the 36th Division’s Baekho Recruit Training Battalion, where I was appointed and worked hard to complete my training as a research assistant at the Baekho Recruit Training Battalion.“
Jin made people laugh by putting pressure on J-Hope, saying, “It’s a shame for BTS if you don’t win the ‘Express Warrior’ title.” J-Hope also won the ‘Express Warrior’ title and was promoted to corporal early. In addition, it is reported that he is also performing the role of a squad leader.
