So, I was browsing YouTube last week and came across a video. This video was a medley of BTS, also known as Bangtan Boys, songs performed by Next Town Down. The Los Angeles based quintet comprising of Terence, Tre’von, Christopher, Malik, and Leon was formed via social media. The African American members all range in ages between 15-22. According to the video description the medley was made in honor of the Olympics. Their fans are called Townies. NTD further stated that the guys of BTS are known for making waves all around the world. The video also has lyrics posted in the description. This group can sing. They have other videos that showcase their singing capabilities. This video is what Korean pop music fans dream of when doing karaoke. Check out their mashup which includes: “I Need U,” “Mic Drop,” “Not Today,” “Blood Sweat & Tears”. I wish BTS would see this video. It is awesome and really good.
