BTS Love Captured in Hangzhou

[Asian Games] BTS Love Captured in Hangzhou... Popularity of Korean ‘Pin Badges’

“I love you Jungkook.

I like BTS."

On the 27th, a female volunteer who met at a stadium in Hangzhou, China, where the 19th Asian Games are being held, immediately expressed her affection for BTS in a mixture of Chinese and English when the reporter revealed that he was from Korea prior to reporting. She added, "Monday.

Tuesday Wednesday... "She sang Jungkook's new song herself.  바카라사이트

She then laughed and said, "I like Jungkook the best, and I also like Taehyung (V)."

Seven', released by Jungkook last July, is characterized by the repetition of English lyrics such as '7 days a week, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday', and is a song with soft vocals and sophisticated rhythm.

It ranked first on the US Billboard main single chart 'Hot 100' and became a global hit.

He, who introduced himself as 'Liu', is a student at a university in Hangzhou and says that this is his first time volunteering at an international event like this.

He also expressed his thoughts at the event, saying, “It was a good experience and fun to be able to meet people from various countries, including Korea.”

The interest in Korea that can be felt locally can also be seen in the exchange of ‘pin badges’.

When international sports competitions are held, badges produced by sports organizations or related companies from each country are usually exchanged as souvenirs.

It is a common sight to see reporters, volunteers, and athletes wearing dozens of badges on string necklaces.

However, it is rumored that Korean badges produced by the Korea Sports Council and Korean athlete team leader Choi Yoon are one of the most 'popular' items in this exchange.

In fact, whenever reporters visited stadiums or various facilities in the media center for reporting, volunteers showed great interest in the Korean badges and quickly flocked to ask for exchanges.

Some volunteers even asked the reporter with their proficient Korean pronunciation, even if it was just a word, whether the images on the badge were the Korean "Rose of Sharon" and "Tiger."

Reporters from several other countries we met at the stadium asked the reporter to exchange his badge, but he had to refuse because he didn't have any.

Even as the relationship between North Korea, China, and Russia versus Korea, the United States, and Japan is intensifying to the point where it is being called a ‘new cold war,’ culture appears to be a conduit that connects the people of each country beyond politics.
