Once upon a time...
Inside the woods, there was a big building.
And inside the building, in one of the chambers.
*INSIDE THE CHAMBER*

Icy: Sure +_+
{After they reach the chamber}
Aite: Welcome back!
Icy: Thanks, now let's start the game.
Zennie : What game are we playing? Musical chairs?
Icy: No, it's something else.
Zennie : Oh, I thought it was musical chairs since it's the only music related game that I can remember...🗿...
Aki: So which game are we playing?
Icy: Actually... It doesn't have a name +_+" since we made it up just now-
Aki: I see-
Icy: Well, we will play some songs and we have to guess the genre of the songs.
Ash: And along with that the one who guessed the genre also has to give a description of the genre and if u can't describe it then the chance goes to another player.
Icy: The one who gives the correct description will get a point and in the end the one who has most points will win.

Unlike other musical genres, contemporary K-pop start can be pinpointed to a certain date: April 11th of 1992, when the groups Seo Taiji and Boys performed their music on TV for the first time.
They were active in the mid-1990s and were known for experimenting with different music genres.
For example, they were the pioneers of integrating rap into K-pop.
The very first group in K-Pop to exist was H.O.T., which debuted in 1996.
The group has been credited as the group that started the Korean pop culture.
And with the emergence of BoA and TVXQ on the scene in 2003, the popularity of K-pop truly soared.

...[CAREER]...
• BTS was formed in 2010, after Big Hit Entertainment CEO Bang Si-hyuk wanted to form a hip hop group around RM (Kim Namjoon), an underground rapper who was well known on the music scene in Seoul.
• BTS was originally supposed to be a hip hop group similar to YG Entertainment's 1TYM.
•Soon after BTS was created, Bang Si-hyuk decided instead to create an idol group similar to Seo Taiji and Boys, who were popular in the 1990s.
• The change in plan was because album sales were suffering across the music industry, and Bang deemed an idol group more marketable.
• Originally slated to debut in 2011, they were featured on several tracks by artists like 2AM and Lee Seung-gi before that postponement.
• Six months prior to their rescheduled 2013 debut, they began to gain attention for their presence on various social media websites, as well for as for placing song covers on YouTube and SoundCloud.
• The band members lived together, practicing up to 15 hours a day, and first performed before a small crowd of industry insiders in 2013.
• On June 12, 2013, BTS released their debut single album 2 Cool 4 Skool (the first entry in their "school trilogy" series), along with the lead single "No More Dream", which quickly fell off the charts.
• Nevertheless, according to Kathy Sprinkel in her book on BTS, that single was spotlighting young people's anxiety in the face of lofty parental expectations, sent shock waves through the K-pop ranks.
Ash: And now BTS is one of the most popular K-pop group worldwide ( ꈍᴗꈍ)💜
