experiences. I was supposed to grow up in a small, countryside of Korea. My biological father and my mother finalize a divorce and I find myself making a home in America. I traveled the world at a young age, it was not my choice, but it was my life in a new family, as I became a military child.

experience. At the end my very last thought before leaving was "This isn 't what Korea is really like" that is all I could grasp honestly. There was about three or four main experiences that stood out to me the most. I picked Korean culture because I didn’t see anything else I could honestly get involved in.

I can vividly remember when I became interested in South Korea. In the summer of 2007, I accidently found a YouTube video of a Korean song and was mesmerized…

Education What’s your goal in life? Happiness? Success? Love? Whatever it may be, there’s no rea-son as to why you can’t achieve it––that’s what BTS is trying to tell us in their song “N.O.” Of-fering a futuristic view that is an astute commentary on South Korea’s restrictive culture, particu-larly among young people, “N.O” shouts power and invulnerability––telling adolescents to not tolerate monotonous goals set by adults and to find their own happiness before it’s too late.
