BTS Pulling Power Helps Lotte Duty Free Family Concert Attract Vast Global Audience BTS pulling power helps Lotte Duty Free Family Concert attract vast global audience SOUTH KOREA. The 30th Lotte Duty Free Family Concert held last night – because of the COVID-19 crisis, the first ever to be pre-recorded and conducted online – proved a resounding success, drawing 2.2 million views and 550,000 individual users. The 90-minute concert was themed ‘Duty Free Life Again’ and featured some of Korea’s biggest pop stars, including BTS, Tomorrow X Together, Hwang Chi-yeul, GFriend, and Lee Hyun. The Lotte Duty Free Family Concert, launched in 2006, has grown over the years to become a major Korean Wave (hallyu) cultural event. Superstar boy band BTS headlined a star-studded bill and previewed their new Lotte Duty Free campaign (below) The perfect COVID pick-me-up: BTS proclaims, ‘We want a Duty Free life’ A high-quality performance was ensured through the deployment of a stage using four large LEDs and featuring 12 cameras. The concert was translated into six languages, including simplified and traditional Chinese, English and Vietnamese. Hwang Chi-yeul performs against a stunning Lotte Duty Free Family Concert backdrop Meet Sowon, Yerin, Eunha, Yuju, SinB, and Umji, otherwise known as GFriend BTS thank fans for tuning in from all over the world Besides attracting a vast global audience on the night, Lotte Duty Free achieved a big surge in membership during the run-up to the event. From 31 August to 25 September, Lotte Internet Duty Free attracted around 900,000 new subscribers – around 35,000 per day, a surge of around +590% year-on-year. New members from Southeast Asia, including Indonesia, the Philippines, and Vietnam, accounted for 44% of the total. Customers from other nationalities such as the Americas and Europe, previously a small base, represented 38%, while Korean consumers accounted for a 12% share. Former 8Eight and Homme member, now top-selling artist, Lee Hyun By age group, teens and those in their 20s, who tend to be interested in Hallyu culture and duty free shopping, accounted for 37% and 43%, respectively, of the audience. Superstar band BTS unveiled a preview of their new campaign video at the concert. The film was themed ‘We Want a Duty Free Life’. It expresses the daily worries of millennials and the BTS ‘Duty Free’ method of resolving them. The campaign video will be released sequentially in October through LDF TV, the official YouTube channel of Lotte Duty Free. Tomorrow X Together is poised to become Korea’s next global breakthrough group Lotte Duty Free CEO Lee Gap said: “I hope this Family Concert will help the world to overcome COVID-19. Lotte Duty Free will continue to provide differentiated services to customers by highlighting cultural marketing, in an effort to attract more foreign tourists to Korea in the future.” [This preview video helped build interest in the blockbuster Family Concert] .

    Travail Personnel Korean Entertainment Nom: Alves Chambel Prénom: Carolina Classe: 6G3 Tutrice: Amélie Mossiat 2019/2020 Introduction Hello, my name is Carolina and I am 14 years old. My 2019/2020 TRAPE is about Korean Entertainment! I have been into K-Pop for almost 3 years and I have always been researching lots of things about Korean celebrities, their activities and their TV shows. Since I was a child, I have always been very curious about the Asian culture, even though I thought they were gangster. As I grew up, I have become more and more connected to their culture. Then, at the end of 2016, I listened to my first K-Pop song ever. I was 10 years old and I was in primary school when I got to know EXO, the first group I listened to. They had a big impact in my life because in that moment I was struggling mentally and physically... The only thing that made me happy, was listening to their songs! They would make feel better in every way possible, once I listened to some music, I’d completely forget about my worries. It was always the best part of my days. That is why I have grown attached to K-Pop songs, dances and singers. Table of contents WHAT WERE THE MOST FAMOUS SERIES (KOREAN DRAMAS)? (2019) IS IT POPULAR IN OTHER COUNTRIES? WHO IS MY FAVOURITE ACTOR AND ACTRESS? ARE IDOLS ALSO ACTORS? WHAT GENRES OF DRAMAS ARE THERE? WHAT GENRE OF MUSIC DO THEY DO? WHAT ARE THE MOST FAMOUS GROUPS IN KOREA AND INTERNATIONALLY? WHAT ARE THE MOST FAMOUS SONGS? DO K-DRAMAS ALSO HAVE SONGS? What were the most famous series (Korean Dramas)? (2019) Since we are at the beginning of 2020, it would be better to make a list of the 10 most popular K- Dramas in 2019.

  • Anne Frank's Di
    Pakistan School Attack On the 17th December 2014, a greatly upsetting attack took place in Pakistan. Taliban terrorists shot 132 children [aging from twelve to six- teen], ten school staff members, including the principal of the school, and three soldiers in the Army Public School and Degree College. A hundred people were also injured, many having gunshot wounds. It was found out that the terrorists burst into the auditorium where a large number of students were taking an exam and gunned down many of them within minutes. A 14-year-old survivor, Ahmed Faraz, recalled that one of the terrorists ordered his men to kill all the children hiding under the benches. They carried on shooting incessantly. Parents send their children to school expecting them to be safe. How- ever in some countries, school is not as safe as schools in Singapore. So, we should stay alert and be thankful to have this privilege for the safe en- vironment where we study in. It was also said that the students thought that the attack was a drill. As a result, most of them did not take it very seriously. Having said that, many of us tend to take drills in school lightly by joking around and thinking that it is a waste of time. These attacks can be avoided if all of us cooperate and stay united. The root cause of such at- tacks is based on a religion not being accepted by others around them. In this article, we observe that the Islamic culture was not accepted and thus these attacks occurred.
