      I know this this seems like an ad but is not, sorry about that. Being a fan of kpop (not so much BTS, tho) for more than 5 years I found myself intrigued about how y why they do what they do, and why is so effective with me, and I found that those articles that I've linked are very good at summarizing A LOT of info in a short space.
