While browsing on Facebook, I found a very interesting video. The video was snippet of the show "Voice"- Germany. The video was captioned in Korean; it said "독일오디션 프로그램에서 우리나라 노래부르는 소녀", which means "A girl singing our country's song on a German audition program". Out of curiosity, I clicked the video and I was amazed. This teenager was singing "The Truth Untold" by BTS ft. Steve Aoki. She sang the whole snippet of the song in Korean, minus the couple phrases of English. She said that she learned the language herself, and her pronunciation was impressive. The judges were initially stumped at the unfamiliar language. They were guessing if it was Italian or Spanish, but to their surprise it was Korean.
As mentioned in my previous cultural post with the show "Kingdom", it is amazing how social media can play such a large role in spreading Korean music and Korean culture. BTS is a Korean idol group that has made it on the Billboard charts and has even given a speech at the UN.
I have attached the link to the video, which has over 700K views right now!
