CEO of Big Hit Edu, Choi Young Nam said, “KF and Hankuk University of Foreign Studies are all partners who have a high understanding of our content, so we’re anticipating that we’ll be able to create even greater synergy in the future.”
“Learn! KOREAN with BTS” is a program that ultilises pre-existing footage of the boys themselves, such as Run BTS! and Bangtan Bomb, to teach fans about Korean culture and introduce vocabulary commonly used by BTS members.
You can also access these learning resources through Big Hit Edu, who have been releasing 3-minute clips to WeVerse since March. A book package will be available from August 24th.
