BTS Puts K-Pop Back In U.S. Spotlight

Tens of thousands of fans eagerly rode the wave of Korean pop or K-pop this weekend at a convention in Los Angeles. This at a time when a boy band’s success in America is giving new hope to many stars in the music genre.
Reuters reports that several Korean-Americans were among the performers at the seventh annual KCON. The event is for all things tied to “Hallyu,” or the “Korean Wave” of popular culture.
