BTS and ARMY Members Celebrate Jimin's Birthday

Article link

This article is about the popular boy band BTS, it covers the birthday of one of the members Jimin.On October 12th each member of BTS wish Jimin a happy 24th birthday via their public twitter page where photos and videos of Jimin, with personalised messages such one of the members Jin jokingly saying (translated) “ “Jimin-ah, happy birthday, I wrote this for a period of three hours,”, in which fans showed their upmost love for their favourite artist.The article develops to talk about how when midnight hit on October 12th , BTS, were in Saudi Arabia to continue their ‘speak yourself’ tour where the fans (ARMY) sang happy birthday , along side the members, in Arabic where the article states “an ecstatic jimin reacted to”. lastly, the article documents how jimin opened up on VLIVE ( an idol broadcasting app) about his gratitude and happiness with the members and ARMY.

This story appeals to an audience as it refers to current mainstream media as it’s a very popular band that has a massive fan base so fans can receive the gratification of personal identity and relationships ( blumler and Katz). It could also offer surveillance as it provided education and informs non Kpop fans about BTS and why and how they are so popular. Lastly it could be a form of new representation for BAME people , especially Asians , as seeing Asians rise to popularity through embracing their culture ( kpop) could let other Asians feel gratified and proud.

I think this is an example of quality journalism as it’s exploring a different culture while reflecting the teen vogue brand of celebrity news .

In one scene, a female avatar is scene to fall in to the male avatar's arms which effectively reinforces the role of submissive behaviour amongst women (bell hooks) . However in the chic boutique trailer, we can see a very feminine male who could connote to being gay which hints to positive LGBTQ representations . The trailer portrays the avatar enrolling in 'Sim High' which is a social standard for young adolescents . This is a rather neut...

Activity Does the media have the power to change peoples’ behaviour, attitudes or promote values and ideologies?  depending on how raw and real the content is i personally think that the media cant effectively change peoples behaviour, attitudes etc... 1.
