    What Happened To BTS? 😮🤫😱

    What Happened To BTS? 😮🤫😱

    Where is BTS now? The rise and fall of BTS was fast and huge. From south korean mega band to world wide sensation, BTS took over the world. But with military service looming, is this the end of BTS?

    #bts #btsarmy #whathappenedto #wherearetheynow #riseandfall

    BTS, also known as Bangtan Sonyeondan, or the Bangtan Boys, emerged from Big Hit Entertainment in South Korea in 2013. Comprising of seven members - RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook, the group redefined K-pop, crossing boundaries with their powerful lyrics, innovative music style, and intense performances. Their raw discussions on socio-cultural issues set them apart, resonating with the youth worldwide, leading to an immense global fanbase known as 'ARMY.'

    BTS quickly gained popularity in South Korea with their debut album "2 Cool 4 Skool." Their breakthrough internationally came with their second full album, "Wings," in 2016, marking their place on Billboard 200. The group achieved an unprecedented level of global fame, breaking numerous records. Their album "Love Yourself: Tear" (2018) debuted at number one on Billboard 200, a first for any Korean act.

    The group’s rise reached new heights in 2020 when they released their single "Dynamite," which became their first song to reach number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Their influence extended beyond music, impacting fashion, language learning, and tourism, and advocating for mental health awareness and youth empowerment.

    However, around 2023, their activities began to slow down. Members began pursuing individual projects, exploring solo music careers, and focusing on personal lives, following the South Korean tradition of mandatory military service. Their gradual withdrawal from group activities marked the beginning of the end of an era, with their last album as a complete group, marking the pinnacle of their illustrious journey.

    Despite the hiatus, BTS' legacy continues to reverberate through global music, breaking cultural barriers, leaving a lasting impact on millions of fans. Their story, a testament to hard work, resilience, and the power of music, sets a precedent for future artists worldwide. Their fall from active music-making is viewed more as a graceful bow out than a tragic collapse, given their immeasurable contributions and influence.

    What Happened To The Island Boys? 😮🤫😱

    What Happened To The Island Boys? 😮🤫😱

    The Island Boys kissing on social media? What happened to the island boys, where are the island boys now and what led to this only fans baiting island boys incest? Today we look at the rise and fall of the island boys and their falls from grace.

    #theislandboys #whathappenedto #wherearetheynow #riseandfall

    The Island Boys, comprising fraternal twins, Alex and Franky Venegas, initially burst into the limelight through their viral videos on the social media platform TikTok, quickly amassing a vast following due to their unique looks and lifestyle. Known for their tattoo-clad bodies and pineapple-styled hair, the twins captured the attention of netizens around the globe.

    Hailing from West Palm Beach, Florida, the Island Boys leveraged their newfound popularity to venture into the music industry. They released their debut single, "Island Boys," and frequently shared snippets of their music, often freestyling, on their social media profiles. Despite criticism and controversy, their raw, unfiltered style was a significant factor in their rise to fame, garnering them a dedicated fan base.

    Their online presence was both their strength and their Achilles' heel. They often found themselves embroiled in public feuds and controversies, which sometimes outshone their musical endeavors. Nevertheless, they leveraged these incidents, transforming them into opportunities to increase their online engagement and visibility.

    However, as time went by, their novelty began to wear off. The controversies and criticisms began to outweigh their popularity, and their music career started to flounder. As the social media landscape is notoriously fickle, their star began to fade as quickly as it had risen.

    Despite their rapid rise and equally swift decline, the Island Boys left a distinct imprint on the landscape of internet celebrity culture. Their story serves as a reminder of the transient nature of internet fame and the volatile balance between popularity and controversy. While their career trajectory was short-lived, their impact on digital culture, for better or worse, remains undeniable.

    Oh! and here are 10 top tips to get you started today...




    Identify your niche: Before starting a YouTube channel, you need to identify your niche or area of expertise. This can be anything from cooking, fashion, beauty, technology, gaming, or any other topic you're passionate about. The more specific your niche, the easier it will be to target your audience and grow your channel.
    Research your competition: Once you have identified your niche, you need to research your competition. Look at other channels that are covering similar topics and analyze their content, engagement, and subscriber numbers. This will help you understand what works and what doesn't in your niche, and will give you ideas on how to differentiate your content.
    Develop a content strategy: Based on your research, develop a content strategy for your channel. Plan out your videos and create a content calendar to ensure that you are consistent with your posting schedule. Try to create evergreen content that will remain relevant for a long time, and make sure your videos are high-quality and engaging.
    Optimize your channel: To make your channel more discoverable, you need to optimize it for search. Use relevant keywords in your video titles, descriptions, and tags, and make sure your channel art and profile picture are eye-catching and professional-looking.
    Promote your channel: Once you have uploaded your videos, you need to promote your channel to get more views and subscribers. Share your videos on social media, collaborate with other YouTubers in your niche, and engage with your viewers by responding to comments and messages.
    Engage with your audience: One of the key factors in building a successful YouTube channel is engaging with your audience. Respond to comments, ask for feedback, and listen to your viewers' suggestions. This will not only help you build a loyal community, but also give you ideas for future content.
    Monetize your channel: Once you have grown your channel and built a substantial audience, you can start monetizing your content. You can do this through ads, sponsorships, merchandise sales, and other revenue streams.
    Stay up-to-date with YouTube policies: To avoid any issues with YouTube, make sure you are familiar with their policies and guidelines. Keep your content appropriate and respectful, and follow their rules for monetization, copyright, and community standards.
    Keep learning and evolving: YouTube is a constantly evolving platform, so it's important to keep learning and evolving. Stay up-to-date with new trends and features, and experiment with new content formats to keep your channel fresh and engaging.
    Be patient and persistent: Building a successful YouTube channel takes time and effort, so be patient and persistent. Don't get discouraged by slow growth or negative feedback, and keep working hard to achieve your goals. With dedication and perseverance, you can achieve success on YouTube.

    Get More Done - The Energy of a 7 Year Old

    Get More Done - The Energy of a 7 Year Old

    The older we get the more we wish we could have the energy of a 7 year old. Bright eyed, bushy tailed and ready to tackle the world, a 7 year old will always be willing to run for the school bus. However, at 38 I barely have the energy to stagger to my kettle and make a cup of tea in the mornings.

    In today's podcast episode I explore my thoughts on productivity and how you need to be a little kinder to yourself.
