Areum:

A smile spread on my face when we made it to the waiting area. Soon enough my parents and I would be boarding on a plain to Seoul, South Korea. I've never been to Korea despite the fact that my dad was raised there.

When my dad had married my mom they decided to live in America because they wanted to give their future children opportunities they didn't get to have. Even so my moms side of the family was close, so I often saw them. As a result I speak Spanish quite fluently.
Despite that I still to time to learn Korean, I didn't want to make my dad feel like I didn't care about his side of our family.

Especially considering the fact that I love Kpop so much. Exo, BigBang, Got7, Seventeen, TWICE, Red Velvet, etc...
You name it an I've probably already listen to at least one of there songs if not all of them.

It's why I'm so excited to go to Korea. I might even get to go to a few concerts.

I wonder if I might meet any Kpop Ido...

"Flight to Seoul, South Korea is now boarding."
"Agh! I squealed.
"Mija lower your voice we're in public. Let's go we're boarding the plane." My mother scolded.
"Sorry madre." I apologized, but boarded the plane with a spring in my step.

As my parents am I sat down in first class, I took out my phone and pulled up my Kpop playlist on Pandora

As my parents am I sat down in first class, I took out my phone and pulled up my Kpop playlist on Pandora. I reclined my seat back a bit and listened to the artists magnificent voice.

I was almost asleep when a song I've never heard started playing.

The song was absolutely beautiful, I was shocked when I felt tears streaming down my face.

I was quick to grasp my phone to check the artist. I looked to see BTS

BTS, the name sounded familiar. I think I'd heard my friends talk about them when we were in school. I grabbed my phone and searched for more BTS songs.
Each song was amazingly put together, and the harmony was absolutely amazing. They were so talented.
