Talk about Korean stars are making it big on the world stage.

A few months ago, the Korean boy group called BTS hit No.1 on the Billboard chart. It was a first for a Korean artist. You often hear in the news that Korean music is taking the world by storm. The appeal of Korean pop music is no longer confined to Korean fans. It is picking up fans around the world. When Korean singers perform concerts overseas on a huge scale, the tickets are sold out quite often. The popularity of Korean stars worldwide expands beyond singers. More and more actors are making a name for themselves on the global stage. Korean movies are often exported overseas. It's also increasingly common for Korean actors to appear in foreign films. Korea's film market is quite big, giving Korean actors a leg up when they turn their gaze overseas.

You look tired today. Were you up late last night?

Yeah, I went to the BTS concert and I got home really late.

Wow, that sound like fun. Did you have a good time?

It was great. The crowd went nuts.
