SUBJECT: BTS

RESEARCH QUESTION:

Why should people listen to BTS and support their messages within their music based on their social status?

PROJECT SUMMARY:

The article, "I wasn't a fan of BTS. And then I was." by Lenika Cruz is about how a non fan of BTS was so moved by one performance that she had gotten hooked on them. She saw them only once before wanting to get to know each member and the band as a whole. She explains what the appeal of BTS is to her and has her own opinion on many different aspects of the band. I chose this article because I found it interesting that this one person has so much to say about BTS and it made my heart happy when I was reading through it. I have been a fan of BTS for over four years now and I'm so happy that I am able to write something about the thing I'm passionate about.

The sub topics I will be covering will be about what kinds of messages BTS put into their songs to make them more controversial than most other songs. I will talk about their amazing connection with their fans and how much they cherish every moment spent with them. I will also talk about how BTS changes people for the better and never for the worst, including my own experience when BTS was introduced to me when I was at a very low point in my life and BTS literally saved my life.

People should listen to and support BTS because they convey beautiful messages within their music, they have an unbreakable bond with their fans and they change lives for the better.
