Pop group bts. Biography

The Japanese are a very emotional and creative nation. Therefore, in Japan, emoticons are more common than anywhere else in the world.

Kaomoji(顔文字) represents Japanese style emoticon images, built on the basis of kanji characters, punctuation marks and other symbols, and used to express emotions when communicating in cyberspace. In fact, it is a synonym Japanese emoticons. Formed by a combination of words: kao (顔 - person) + moji (文字 - symbol, written sign).

According to the Japanese, eyes are the mirror of a person's soul. Therefore, if in Western emoticons greatest attention is given to the mouth, in Japanese - specifically to the eyes. In addition, unlike Western emoticons, kaomoji no need to mentally rotate 90 degrees.

Many Japanese draw well, because Japanese- language of drawings. The example of anime and manga shows how accurately the authors manage to convey the various emotions of the characters with just a few simple lines.

In the early days of the Internet and instant messaging, the lack of face-to-face communication led to all sorts of misunderstandings. Kaomoji was a successful creative attempt by manga and anime fans to correct this situation.

Japanese emoticons extremely varied. On the Internet you can see the figure 10,000, but in reality there are many more. This diversity is explained by at least two factors:

• unlike the Cyrillic and Latin alphabet, which are most often written in single-byte encodings, Japanese writing requires at least double-byte encodings that have a wider character coverage;
• kaomoji can denote not only individual emotions, but also complex actions, and their combinations even create whole stories.

Kaomoji are divided into categories depending on the emotional component, type of designated action or object. Also in these emoticons you can often find hieroglyphs that carry additional semantic connotations.

The website presents interesting collection Japanese kaomoji emoticons, collected from various (mostly Japanese) Internet sources. Since everything Japanese emoticons impossible to assemble, the project team selected the most interesting options and their combinations, and also added our own. In addition, there is a corresponding application for Android.

In general, feel free to use the ones you like Japanese emoticons. Combine elements from different kaomoji and create your own creative options!

In Japanese emoticons depicting joy (laughter, smile, pleasure, delight), the eyes are usually placed high. The most commonly used symbols are ^, ￣, ´ and `, but not always. The mouth also plays an important role. For example, young Japanese women often use the symbol ω (omega) as the mouth of their Japanese emoticons, believing that such kaomoji are the cutest, or, as they say, kawaii. You can also use ∀, ▽ and other symbols that resemble a smile. And the Japanese also like to add various special effects to kaomoji (stars, tears of joy, etc.) for greater expressiveness.

Japanese emojis for love often use the ♡ (heart) symbol or combinations with it, such as ノ～ ♡ (blowing a kiss). You can also use the chu letter set to represent a kiss (in Japan it is associated with the sound of a kiss). Another distinctive feature of Japanese love emojis is the abundance of * and o symbols, which denote blush and are often used in combination with /, \, ノ, ﾉ and ヽ. That is, these emoticons seem to cover their faces with their hands out of embarrassment. In combination with the so-called “hands” the symbol ε (sponges with a bow) is also used, but here the desire to hug and kiss is implied. Japanese women often joke that such kaomoji look like perverts!

To show embarrassment, a symbol can be used; (something like a drop of sweat on the face) or symbols simulating blush (*, o). In addition, you can try to imitate how the Japanese emoticon covers its face with its hands out of embarrassment.

To express sympathy or compassion, you need at least two Japanese emoticons: one of them will be upset about something, and the other will calm him down. For the first type, you can use kaomoji from the “sadness” category. The key element of the second will be a “soothing hand stroke” (ノ”, ノ’ or ヾ) or a “support shoulder” (see examples).

Dissatisfaction can easily be expressed by scrunching your face in kaomoji. Hence the corresponding symbols. For the eyes of dissatisfied Japanese emoticons, ＞＜ are suitable. Additional wrinkles may be added by the ＃ symbol. Also, eyes like ￢￢ and ￣￣ with a well-shaped mouth can express a certain dissatisfaction. Similar techniques are quite common in anime and manga.

The secret to portraying anger using kaomoji lies in the eyes. Use ` and ´ or ｀ and ´. Just don’t confuse the arrangement of the symbols, otherwise your evil Japanese emoticon will become kind and cheerful (compare: ` ´ - evil eyes, ´ ` - kind eyes). In addition, to depict anger, you can add “wrinkles” ＃ and their stronger form メ or ╬, and as a hand - 凸 (middle finger) and ψ (like claws). You can also use “evil grin” 皿 or 益.

Sadness, sadness and tears are depicted quite simply. For eyes use T T, ; ;, >< и другие символы, имитирующие teary eyes Japanese emoticon. You can also cover your eyes with your hands (for example, /\ and ノヽ).

To show pain, use symbols >< вместе со спецэффектами наподобие ⌒☆. Для изображения “оглушённых” смайликов можно использовать глаза типа “x”. Но также есть и другие способы.

To depict scared Japanese emoticons, use forward and backslashes and other symbols that create the impression that the kaomoji is covering his face with his hands in fear. In this case, you can also depict screaming, waving your arms and other similar actions.Σ(°△°|||)︴

You can show indifference using Japanese emoticons by using imitation of corresponding hand movements (┐ ┌ or ╮ ╭, as well as all kinds of connections with forward/backslash and other symbols similar to hands). ー ー, ˇ ˇ and similar options are suitable as “indifferent eyes”.

Use "empty eyes" ・ ・. To enhance the effect, you can add to them; or 〃. Also, in a similar combination, eyes like ￣ ￣ are suitable for emoticons. Finally, you can add effects like the process of thinking (・・・), spreading your arms (┐ ┌ or ╮ ╭), supporting your head with your hand (ゞ).

The easiest way to show doubt is to look away with your kaomoji eyes. Use ￢ ￢, ¬ ¬ or arrows.

Every year more and more worthy musical groups of various genres appear in Asia. South Korean creativity is quite popular in our country. There are a lot of bands there that play quite unconventional and high-quality music.

Unlike monotonous European groups, representatives of South Korea try to create their own unique style, which in the end they succeed very well. They are equally good in pop music and rock. However, among them there is one absolutely wonderful group that managed to destroy all stereotypes and become a group that is able to play music in the hip-hop genre on a par with their Western counterparts.

This talented group is called BTS. Her biography is incredibly interesting. Next, we will dwell on several particularly important stages of her work, and also talk in detail about each of her participants.

So, let's repeat that BTS is a Korean group. The names of the current members are as follows:

• Rap Monster - leader, rapper;
• Chin is the face of the group, vocalist;
• Suga - composer, rapper;
• J-Hope - main dancer, rapper;
• Jimin - dancer, vocalist;
• V - vocalist;
• Jungkook is a vocalist, dancer, sub-rapper.

Start

The team was formed back in 2011, when a selection of talented young performers was underway throughout the country. The first two members of BTS were taken during one of the auditions at the largest Korean studio.

Many future performers at that time had only recently turned eighteen years old, but thanks to perseverance and talent, they easily managed to get to the very top in a matter of months and prove to labels that they were truly talented.

It began to take shape closer to 2012, when an underground performer known in narrow circles, nicknamed Rap Monster, became its leader. By that time, he already had serious experience in performing, as well as several released tracks. Overnight, he became the most prominent member of the group and was also pushed to the forefront.

Moreover, as a leader, he began to write most of the lyrics for the group, as well as organize the show. Although he is far from the oldest member of BTS, Rap Monster is by far the most colorful personality and a fan favorite. He is the idol of millions of listeners from all over the world, inspiring each of them to various achievements and self-improvement.

So we can say with complete confidence that the composition of the BTS group would not be so bright without the named member. Next, J-Hope, the main dancer of the group, joined the lineup. He had incredible talent, and Korean studios quickly noticed this. Before joining BTS, he performed in a street dance gang and achieved considerable success with it.

J-Hope very quickly found a common language with the rest of the group and became one of the key figures. One of the most important factors why he was taken into the team was his long-standing acquaintance with the Rap Monster, with whom he had already performed several times. There was a real friendship between them, the guys supported each other in difficult times, and complemented each other perfectly on stage. So no one had any doubt that J-Hope should be taken into the BTS group.

Music

Suga is another talented person. This young performer has long established himself as a great arranger. He not only had an excellent voice, but also an excellent one, which, you see, is important. He easily created catchy beats, without which it is impossible to compose truly hit hip-hop songs.

He quickly became friends with the two leaders of BTS - J-Hope and Rap Monster, becoming an integral part of the friendly crowd. Now it’s hard to imagine BTS without this amazing musician. The group owes much of its sudden success to him. Since joining, he has written music for almost all BTS songs, so he can rightfully be considered one of the most important links in the group.

Jungkook is the youngest member of the group. He was the last to join BTS, but despite his age, he quickly attracted public attention. Not only was he good on the mic, but he could also dance like J-Hope.

Success

Bright personalities could not help but make BTS famous. The Korean group, the biography of each member of which is now inextricably linked with the stage, was able to achieve success only by turning into a friendly team. Now they are one of the best boy bands of our time. His success was guaranteed from the very beginning, because the guys had everything they needed to create a popular group - talent, persistence and a memorable image.

BTS - Korean group: composition and its change

Later other musicians joined the band. And when the lineup was finally formed, it was time for a full-fledged debut. But, unfortunately, they were not able to do this right away. As with many young groups, disagreements began, resulting in two members leaving BTS.

Of the nine musicians, only seven remained, but this did not stop them from continuing their activities. After two years of preparation, they gained serious experience and were ready to prove themselves in public. This happened in 2013. It is worth noting that this year has been very successful for the group. In addition to live performances, they managed to release their debut single, which quickly entered the country's top charts and was highly appreciated by both music lovers and professional critics. The disc was called 2 Cool 4 Skool and contained seven excellent tracks. The most successful song in the album is considered to be the composition called No more dream.

In June of the same year, a music video was shot for it, which did not leave TV screens for a long time, regularly broadcast on numerous Korean music channels. By that time, BTS had finally secured the title of the best young group in the country.

For the group BTS (you can see photos of the participants with names in the article), their first major success was their performance at the popular M festival! Countdown, where the group performed the above-mentioned hit No more dream, which to this day is considered one of the main works of the group.

Later, on the wave of success, a video was shot for a song called We Are Bulletproof Pt.2. All this ultimately led to the fact that the group was recognized as the best young performers in the country and received a lot of prestigious awards.

Combination of cultures

Unlike many other Asian groups, BTS prefer to perform their music in English. Each of the band's musicians speaks it perfectly, so during listening you won't hear even a hint of an accent. But, besides this, the guys skillfully mix English and Korean in their lyrics, which ultimately gives them an original and unusual sound.

Tour

With the advent of 2014, the group's success only increased. BTS released another mini-album, the sales of which exceeded all possible expectations. In just a year, the group members became stars who were invited to perform at the country's largest music arenas.

It's time to go on my first really big tour. These were shows on a global scale, and the army of fans grew every day.

There are more and more fans

Having achieved recognition in their homeland, the guys decided to try their hand abroad. And for good reason, because in Europe a sharp rise in their popularity became noticeable, which was greatly facilitated by the talented composition of the group. BTS, with a photo of seven attractive guys, has acquired a large number of fans in various parts of the world, including Russia.

Conclusion

These days, the group is still as popular and clearly has no plans to slow down. New compositions are included in a variety of tops, and a recent hit called Fire even made it into the top twenty most popular in the history of iTunes. The video for this song managed to collect 4 million views on the Internet in two days. So we recommend that all connoisseurs of good music familiarize themselves with the work of BTS. You definitely won't be disappointed.

It is interesting that the name of the group translated into Russian means “bulletproof”, and, obviously, this is absolutely true.

Stage name: V/뷔/V
Real name: Kim Tae Hyung / 김태형 / Kim Tae Hyung
Position in the group: Vocalist
Date of birth: December 30, 1995
Hometown: Daegu
Height: 178 cm
Weight: 58 kg
Blood type: AB
Nicknames: TeTe, Pure Te (because he always has a puzzled expression on his face, often doesn’t understand anything, “blank slate”)
Family: father, mother, younger sister, younger brother
Zodiac sign: Capricorn

The participants call me 4D. Really, I don't know why they do this. (Rap Monster: “When his gaze is blank, like now, he really seems 4D. J-Hope: “I think V will be able to fully show off his charm on variety shows because of his 4D nature.”) When I'm lying on the top bed and watching anime, the guys' glances in my direction seem to say: “This... is a fan.” But after Jin-hyung moved into the dorm, I realized that we have many common hobbies. Hyung gives the impression of being this perfect prince, but in reality he loves anime just like me. (Jin: “lack of flaws and love for anime are not related!”) Lately, whenever a new anime comes out, we agree to watch it together. I've watched all the episodes of Digimon Adventures, Wolf Children, and The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, and Mamoru Hosoda's other works are my current favorites. I like almost all the cartoons that are shown on the Tooniverse channel, and I think I've watched most of them. I was very moved when I saw Danny Chong's video and started playing the saxophone, which continued for three years. However, suddenly I became interested in dancing and decided to choose a different path. I took a bit of a break after moving from classical to jazz saxophone, so I'm not sure if I'm as good at it as before. But I think that three years ago I played great. Applause! I don't practice showing any individual talents. I don't prepare for this in advance. I just focus on the situation and think: what should I do today? Should I try this? But... many times it happened that I couldn’t think of anything (laughs).
I was very sad when I couldn't participate in vlogs (videos that Bangtan members filmed themselves and uploaded to their blog). I was there for my hyungs whenever they vlogged, but I couldn't upload my own videos. I sat alone and said: “Such and such a date, such and such a month in 2013, today I did this, but it won’t be on the blog, right? I'm upset". I was also nearby when the group vlog was being filmed, I just couldn’t show up on the screen - in fact, I was standing next to the trash can. When I was announced as a member of Bangtan, I received exactly one letter. I was so happy. I stayed up until four in the morning and read it about fifteen times. I showed it to my hyungs all the time.
I made a lot of mistakes during the part in "No More Dream" where I need to lose my points. I keep my glasses in a zippered back pocket, and once I even had to imitate the glasses with my fingers, and there were also many times when the glasses flew off so much that after the performance I could not find them. I usually don't cry while watching movies. But recently I cried when I watched “Miracle in Cell No. 7” with Jin hyung. I cried as if someone had turned on a faucet in front of my eyes. I have no experience of serious relationships. I want to marry my first love and be with her always.

Hello: open_hands: This is Khomya: hamster:

Today we will find out the real meaning of BTS members' names.

Most of us only know the stage names of the BTS members, or although we are familiar with the guys' real names, we are not aware of their true meaning.

The band members revealed the deep meaning of their names when writing Hanche.

(This is an interview, and it's old. I think you'll find it interesting to read)

BTS for Haru Hana Vol. 22

Rap Monster (RM):

¤My real name is Kim Namjoon. In Hanja (Chinese characters that existed before Hangeul) it is written as 金南俊. It's very difficult to write in Hancha, so I usually forget how to spell my name. That's what my parents named me, 南 means "South Korea". It turns out that my name means “genius from the South”, something like that.

¤My real name is Min Yoongi. I saved the hancha spelling of my name in my phone. Ah, I found it. It is written like this: 閔玧其. “其” is a character that appears in the names of my generation. For example, my older brother has this hieroglyph in his name. I don't understand the meaning of my original name (laughs). Perhaps it is the hope that I will grow up and live my life well.

J-Hope:

¤My real name is Jung Hoseok. In Hancha it is written like this: 鄭號錫. I heard that my parents came up with this name for me when they went to a Buddhist temple. The meaning of my name is: “a name that will be known throughout the country.”

¤Park Jimin is my real name. 朴智旻 is the Hancha spelling of my name. That’s what my grandfather called me, and the meaning of the name is as follows: “my wisdom will be higher than the sky.”

¤My real name is Kim Taehyung. In Hancha it is written like this: 金泰亨. “亨” - this hieroglyph means the desire to come to the truth. The meaning of my name is: “Everything will be fine, even in a difficult situation.” My grandfather studied people's names. That's what he called me. The meaning of my name is similar to the meaning of my father's name.
