Yoon, and shared the news in an official statement on Thursday, expressing grief on part of the rest of the band. Homicide is not suspected.

Perhaps the dark side of marketing, and the emptiness of consumer culture ( 소비자문화 ). Do you have agency or do you become a commodity?

2. My wife's neice is enthralled with BTS

TK at ask a Korean twitter thread writes about Kpop from time to time. He's really quite the expert. He's a lot younger than me, so he knows much more about it.

I'm more interested in the oldies and more traditional popular music. I have to admit though that BTS is extremely talented. So was J.Yoon. I wonder what exactly happened to him. It is a tragedy. Suicide, especially among young people, is a big problem in South Korea. Perhaps his cause of death was something else.
