This song is called dynamite performed by the popular group called BTS. BTS is a group of singers from South Korea that have very strong western influences in their pieces. I found this recording on YouTube but I have heard this song many times on the radio and in advertisements. I find this group very interesting because they are from South Korea and consider themselves K-Pop, they’re music sounds very much like more traditional music we hear in the West here. I also find it interesting how they blend this western influenced music with their South Korean roots. This song has Western music stereotypical characteristics such as a chorus and bridge, and uses traditional instruments such as bass and a guitar. I chose this piece because when I think of Korea, specifically South Korea, I think of BTS right away because they are such a popular group that are well known for being one of the most popular K-Pop groups in North America. I also find this song very catchy and like the music video.
