K-pop group, BTS is finally coming to the big screen!

Korean culture is rapidly influencing the world. Notice how Korean dramas are all over Netflix and how the Korean 10-step skincare routine is being practiced by almost every girl in the planet? They call it the Hallyu or “Korean wave” and at the very heart of it is the ever-popular, Korean pop music or what we know as “K-pop”. With the combination of upbeat melodies, synchronized choreography, and attractive South Korean performers, K-pop has truly taken the world by storm.
