BTS is giving free Korean language lessons.
“Learn Korean with BTS,” a series of short language videos, will launch today on the Weverse fan community app. Each episode will be built around existing footage from sources such as the “Run BTS” web variety series and behind-the-scenes videos “Bangtan Bomb” and “BTS Episode.”
The lessons will each be about 3 minutes long and will introduce simple Korean grammar and expressions. There are 30 episodes planned, with the first three to be available at launch and new lessons released every Monday thereafter.
The curriculum was developed with professors from the Department of Korean Education at Hankuk University of Foreign Studies and researchers at the Korea Language Contents Institute.
According to a press release, the initiative is aimed to “make it easy and fun for global fans who have difficulty enjoying BTS’ music and contents due to the language barrier.”
