Earlier today it was announced that new K-pop hip-hop group BTS (Bangtan Boys) who are under iBigHit Entertainment will be embarking on a showcase tour in Europe, with the added surprise for 200 special fans of a High5 event. 

Kpop Nonstop have proudly stated that “BTS will have their Showcase in Berlin and Stockholm titled ‘1st fanmeeting in Europe  – RWeL8?’. During their show the group will perform some of their most popular songs as well as interact with their fans for approximately 90 minutes show, promising you an unforgettable night! Celebrating their 1 year anniversary in June, the 7 members of BTS, Jin, Suga, J-hope, Rap Monster, Jimin, V and Jungkook are looking forward to meet with their fans.”

When BTS was starting out as a new group, to promote themselves they created diary vlogs on YouTube titled “Bangtan Log“, documenting their daily life, thoughts and giving future fans a look at what it takes to become a K-idol. As their popularity began to grow they obviously began to lose time and their diary entries became less and less. That was when “Bangtan Bombs” were created, giving fans an even deeper look behind the scenes of what an idol does at music shows and when at home in their dormitories. Not to mention that the BTS boys have released their own music as solo rappers or as sub groups within their build up to debut when they released their first song “No More Dream“. As a bonus for fans for reaching certain amounts of Likes or comments BTS also release their dance practice videos, which are usually a serious moment for the boys, but during some of their practices a sneaky giggle or a silly moment will happen, and the cheerfulness of their personalities shines through. Throughout the K-pop world these guys have gained fans all over the world due to their thoughtfulness, humour, and hard working personalities.
