Since I start with this blog, I was wanting to talk about Lee Taemin. He's a korean soloist and a member of a group called Shinee. This is one of the oldest k-pop groups, since they debuted in 2008.

Although, a few months ago, one of the members took his own life and this was a very strong blow for the group, the fans, and the whole Korean music scene. This is why Taemin has been inactive lately.

Taemin is an excellent dancer and is also in charge of the group's choreography and his own songs.
He already has two full discs. The last one is out since October of last year. His main song is 'Move'.

With it, he has won more than ten prizes in both Korea and Japan. He was also nominated for his dance to the biggest awards in Asia: MAMA (Mnet Asian Music Awards9) . These awards were held in early December last year, and Taemin performed there with Sumni, another korean artist. He won the prize for the best dance.

Some of his most famous songs are 'Drip Drop', 'Sayonara Hitori', a song in Japanese that has covered many people due to the complicated steps, and 'Thristy', from his last album. Although, my favorite songs are 'Soldier' , 'Love' and 'Heart Stop'.

Give him an opportunity to his presentations and his music because they are great :)
The truth is that I really wanted to make this post, because it's something I've been waiting for a long time. First of all, I must say that my favorite group is BTS (Beyond The Scene), a Korean group which is growing very much right now.
Some of their most famous songs are 'Blood, Sweat & Tears', 'Fire' and 'MIC Drop', in which they collaborate with Steve Aoki.

Well, I like very much all the members, either because of their voices, their dance or their sympathy. My favorite member is Jungkook, the smallest of the group, but I value them all equally, because if one of them was missing, it wouldn't be BTS anymore. Everyone is really important to the group. I will make a small presentation with some gifs and photos of BTS members.

Now that I've named them all, I'll explain a little better about what I'll talk about. The group debuted in 2013 and its agency is Big Hit Entertainment. They are like a small family that has achieved great successes during the last years thanks to numerous efforts, and for that reason I feel very proud of their work.
But, undoubtedly, there is something that has taken a lot of work for Hoseok, better known as J-Hope. He has been working for more than three years on his Mixtape.
He has been always really excited when he talks about his Mixtape and his projects, but the group has been so busy that it has been very difficult to take some time to continue working on it. In case you don't know what a Mixtape is, it's a kind of digital disc that some rappers publish on their own. In addition, Hoseok is the main dancer of BTS. His steps are amazing!
But he also raps, and his passion for music and rap has led him to create his own Mixtape, known among us, the ARMYs (group's fans), like Hixtape, since the initial of his name is the H. He has also had a lot of pressure on his mixes while preparing his Mixtape, because RM (the band leader and the main rapper) and Suga (a BTS rapper too) have already released their Mixtapes, so he felt he had to do it as well as they have.
In my opinion, Hoseok could not have made better songs than those he has published on his Mixtape. All the songs are their own works and they stick a lot with his style. When he published the Hixtape on March 2, all the fandom helped him to climb the world charts. He has broken several records, which stands out as the number one ITunes in more than 60 countries in less than ten hours, surpassing artists like Taylor Swift or G Dragon.
The main song of his Mixtape is 'Daydream'. It has a lot of rhythm and is really catchy. The music video already has more than 40 million views on YouTube. Other songs included in the Mixtape are 'Hope World', which gives the Mixtape title, 'Base Line', 'Hangsang', 'P.O.P' (Piece of peace) or 'Airplane', which also has a music video.

I think Hoseok has done an exceptional job with the songs that make up the Hixtape. Without a doubt, I am proud of him and of the effort that he has put these years making a Mixtape that represents him and that he liked so much. All the songs have had a great reception, and 'HOPE WORLD' is currently breaking records. He has said that it's a dream come true because he has finally managed to launch his Mixtape and he appreciates all the support he's receiving.
I'd love you to take a look at their music, their dance and BTS songs. The seven members have a great talent, and Hoseok, especially, deserves a great recognition for their hard work. Watch the videos and you will discover how good it's in what he do!
