Rain used to be my favorite K-pop artist, but I don't keep up with him anymore because he hasn't been putting much music out lately. Is he still as popular now as he was in the past? I don't hear much about him anymore. I feel like he hasn't really done much since he got out of the army a few years ago.

Visiting Korea in 2018....
I left Korea 3 years ago. I was determined to go back to Korea for the 2018 winter Olympics in Pyeongchang. This week I asked my employer for 2 weeks off in February and they approved!!
I have already booked my flight, accommodations, and a ticket to one of the figure skating sessions. I'm very excited to be back. My flight leaves from the USA on February 3rd and departs Korea on February 17. I will be staying at a hostel in Seoul near Dongdaemun.
I was able to find a flight package on Travelocity for $1,035 USD. The package included a round trip flight and 12 days in a hostel in Seoul. I will be sharing a room at the hostel with 2 other females. I wish the price was lower, but I think the price is good for flight and accommodations.
I bought a ticket to the Men's short program/pair short program on February 9th for $138 from the Fan to Fan ticket resale website. I will be sitting in the nosebleed section, but at least I will be there. I've always wanted to go to the Olympics and figure skating is one of my favorite events. I am still searching for a ticket to the opening ceremony. I know its in high demand.
I still have a lot of things to plan. I will have many more blog posts on the Olympics, Korean food, places to visit and what i was doing on my trip. I will space out the posts so I don't have so much at one time.
While I am in Korea I plan to visit new places, try new food, revisit former places where I worked and lived, and visit with friends that I met. I also plan to make some new videos for my YouTube channel.

Korean Drama: 굿 닥터 Good Doctor
Genre: Medical Drama, Romance, Comedy
Year Aired: 2013
Episodes: 20
Network: KBS
Where Can I watch: Dramafever
Cast (Main)
Joo Won as Park Shi-on
Moon Chae-won as Cha Yoon-soo
Joo Sang-wook as Kim Do-han
Kim Min-seo as Yoo Chae-kyung
Plot:
Park Shi-on is a pediatric surgery medical resident who is an autistic savant. The hospital officials are hesitant to give him a job at the hospital because of his condition. They give him 6 months to prove himself. He has to overcome many struggles along the way.
There is a remake of this drama that aired in the USA starting in 2017 on the ABC network.
**I really enjoyed this drama. The main character had to endure a lot of hardship in his life. I didn't like how he was treated by a lot of people especially his dad. There are a lot of sad and funny moments. I won't give away anything, but there is a really good ending. I am also watching the American version. Both versions have a main character with autism. I can see the similarities between the two.
I definitely recommend this drama!

BTS wins a Billboard Music Award!
BTS won the award for Top Social Artist at the 2017 Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas. BTS was the first Kpop group to be nominated for a Billboard award. They beat out other artists such as: Selena Gomez, Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande, and Shawn Mendes. BTS was in Las Vegas to accept their award in person.
That's a big accomplishment to win an award in the USA and beat out other popular big name American artists. Their fans must have been busy voting for them!!
I wish I could have went to see them when they had concerts in the USA, but they didn't come anywhere near me.

Music Video: Got7 "Never Ever" (English Subtitles)
I like this video..the music, the dancing, the lyrics...
Got7 recently had a tour in the US. If they were closer to me I would have went to check it out. The nearest city was about a 5 hour drive from me. Oh well....

Music Video: Sanchez "5 More Minutes" (English Subtitles)
Feat. Beenzino
I like this song. I wish I had someone who felt this way about me.
I like Sanchez's voice. I first heard him with Phantom (one of my favorite Korean hip hop groups!).

Music Video: BTS "Not Today"
I really like this video. The beat is awesome and the message of the song is really good.
I like these lyrics:
If you can’t fly, then run
Today we will survive
If you can’t run, then walk
Today we will survive
If you can’t walk, then crawl
Even if you have to crawl, gear up
Aim your gun! Ready! Fire!

Music Video: Rain "The Best Present"
I really like this one. I like the ballad style and the dancing. I'm glad Rain has a new video out. I feel like I haven't heard anything from him in a long time.
