1. BTS, Grammy’s first’alone performance’… The award is misplaced
BTS was nominated for the American Grammy Awards with the song’Dynamite’, but unfortunately, Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande’s song’Rain on Me’ won the prize and promised the next. BTS members said, “I am truly grateful and happy,” saying, “It is a ridiculous experience” just by selecting a nomination on the official Twitter account and fan platform on the 15th. Bulletproof Boy Scouts were previously named in the’Best Pop Duo Group Performance’ of the 63rd Grammy Awards. It was the first time that an Asian singer was nominated for this part, so it was of great significance in itself. Nevertheless, BTS performed on the main stage of the Grammy Awards. It was the first Korean singer to go on a solo stage and once again made a big mark in the history of K-pop.
2. Cellist Yo-Yo Ma… ‘Surprise performance’ after vaccination
World-renowned cellist Yo-Yo Ma is getting a hot topic by holding a surprise concert after getting the vaccine. On the 13th local time, a cello tune rang out at the vaccination site in Massachusetts, USA. It was well known to the public, such as Bach’s Unaccompanied Cello Suite No. 1 and Schubert’s Ave Maria. At first, everyone was confused because they didn’t know who he was, but it turned out that he was a world-renowned cellist Yo-Yo Ma. According to officials, Yo-Yo Ma asked if it was okay to play after getting the vaccine. It is said that when Yo-Yo Ma started playing in the field, the surroundings became momentarily quiet. The head of the site said, “It was very strange how peaceful the whole building became with only a little music.” This is not the first time Yo-Yo Ma has held a concert like this. In March of last year, we shared a video of our performance and sent a message of condolence to those who were tired of coronavirus.
3. “Will you marry me”… ‘Expulsion’ after public proposal
A couple of students who proposed and promised to marry at a university in Pakistan were expelled from school. On the 12th, the’Public Proposal’ event was held on the campus of Lahore University in Pakistan. A female student asked a man to marry, handed a bouquet, and the couple hugged each other and promised to marry. People around us also gave congratulations. However, as photos and videos of this image spread online, the university summoned the two students to the special disciplinary committee. However, it is said that this couple did not respond to the summons. Lahore University said, “The two students were expelled from school for’serious violations’ for violating college rules and not having a disciplinary committee.” According to foreign media, it was analyzed that “the relationship between men and women reflects the strict Pakistani culture.” In Pakistan, even couples are known to be very conservative in expressing open affection.
