BTS? NOPE. IT’S THE NEW K-POP BAND TXT!

No surprise that a cute South Korean boy band visited Good Morning America this week. But this time is was not BTS, the band that always draws a huge and emotional crowd of fans. This group of adorable faces belongs to Tomorrow X Together TXT. Last month BTS announced they were going on hiatus “to pursue solo projects.” They’ve been together for 9 years and say they have all “changed” (grown up) and have new ideas. Their fans were distraught, but TXT is more than ready to fill the void!

K-POP BAND SEVENTEEN: DRESSED LIKE HIP BUSINESSMEN

Hard times for K-pop boy band Seventeen. They hoped to make a splash on their first trip to the USA, but the pandemic barred them from live performances. Luckily they landed a spot on The Kelly Clarkson Show to show their talent. Ironically the band has only 13 members- they are divided into three “units”: the hip hop unit, the vocal unit, and the performance unit. They are said to be more involved in the actual songwriting and choreography than other boy bands – most are in their early 20’s. Thom Browne decked them out expensively for the Clarkson show – some of the clothes look a little too serious for this group, but they are cute…
