In this episode, we consider two smaller chapters from Adrian Besley's 'Fully Revised & Updated' book from 2020. We pick up (more or less) where we left off in episode 6, looking at the next ‘chapters’ in BTS’s early history (from 2014 to 2015).

This episode features another chapter from the 2019 book by Jeeheng Lee (BTS & ARMY Culture). Dr. Lee's chapter on ‘Voting Culture’ provides a behind-the-scenes look at ARMY’s involvement with votes-based awards in the music industry.

The episode focuses on one of the 5 chapters/essays devoted to BTS in this brand new book from Routledge. The three pop culture aspects explored in the edited work are: the 2019 movie Parasite, K-Drama, and BTS.
