Lion King Musical in Daegu

in “Stokes & Friends” KPOP with T.H.I.S” Podcast Season Finale

and a Salute to BTS Army

Never Before Heard BTS Audio

Attention BTS ARMY: Stokes & Friends: KPOP with T.H.I.S. just dropped the final episode of its pioneering first season, and it’s all about the fans. “BTS ARMY: In Your Words” features hilarious moments with the seven members of BTS, and intimate conversations with superstar acts like Khalid, 21 Pilots, Muse, and artist-producer John Ryan, before diving into a tribute to the driving forces of their success – their global ARMY. Interviews of BTS ARMY were taken all over the world as part of this episode, including the act’s home country of Korea. Stokes & Friends is also giving the supporters their chance to articulate why BTS is so unique

while giving back. By calling the new, FREE hotline, 1-833-STOKESV, fans can share their favorite BTS song and how they use the inspiration of BTS to help others in their own communities and beyond, answering the call of BTS’ United Nations speech to “Speak Yourself.”

“The members of BTS carry their own unique talents and perspective, and I hope that when people go on this transformative journey with me, that they are able to find a little bit of themselves in each one of the guys,” said Stokes. “They are relatable and talented on so many levels, and I think that is half the magic that has become their

ground breaking career. The global BTS ARMY brings the rest of the magic, inspiring the band, and each other, every day.”

This 10th and final episode wraps an amazing 1st season that saw Stokes & Friends: KPOP with T.H.I.S. reach the Top 10 of Apple Music Podcasts while garnering millions of global audience impressions through social media outreach on the @stokesnfriends and @WestwoodOne Twitter accounts. If you missed a moment or want to listen again, the entire season is now live and available for binge-listening now on Apple Podcasts, Google Play, WestwoodOnePodcasts.com and the Westwood One Podcasts App.

Susin High School, nicknamed “Prison High,� is an elite school attended by the top 1% of students in the country. Their stellar marks are the result of constant pressure and a strict punishment system, to the point where students avoid any activities outside of studying.

as they all received anonymous letters, joined by Kim Yo Han, a psychiatrist who was forced to take shelter with them after he was involved in a car accident nearby.

My Life in Korea:

Lion King Musical

in Daegu

Written by: Cassie Clifford

It’s really exciting when you get to experience something international while living abroad.

In Korea, most events are in korean, for obvious reasons, however; it’s also really great to be able to watch or attend something in your native language! In November, I decided to take a day trip to Daegu to see The Lion King, which is considered the biggest broadway musical in the United States.

it just in time, and bolted for my seat. The show is special to me because I saw it on broadway ten years ago, and it is the very first musical I have ever seen. Just being able to see it again in a country I consider my second home means a lot to me. I highly recommend that one watches it, whether it be in New York City, or in one of the three cities where it will be at in South Korea (Daegu, Seoul, then Busan).

I started my day early, and took the train to Daegu. It was only a day trip, because it’s so close to where I live, which is Busan (about an hour’s ride). I have a couple friends who live in Daegu. We met up for lunch and had delicous 닭갈비 (dak-galbi), which is spicy stir-fried chicken). After eating, I quickly made my way to the venue as I was running a little late. I made

As an expat, I am really proud to have seen how big a turnout it was in terms of Koreans attending. The show is in English, but there are korean subtitles. I was a little nervous about its popularity, but again, there were many people in attendance. The musical was very nostalgic for me, and if you go and watch it, I wish the same for you.
