SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA– BTS fans around the world are going super crazy after the famous South Korean boy band made an earthshattering announcement on their official website that they had just introduced a new 89-year-old member to the group in an effort to attract a much, much older fanbase.<\/p>\n
The message on the official BTS page said that even though they cherished their millions of young K-pop fans, the Spring Day<\/em> singers were looking to branch out to a more diverse group of people and decided to hire an almost one hundred year old man to tap into the much sought-after elderly demographic.<\/a><\/p>\n “We have the best news, everyone,” the BTS<\/a> message started out. “We’re proud to announce that we have a new member of the BTS family. Our new singer Yeonggam is a spry, agile 89-year-old superstar who we promise will bring a much-needed improvement to our band.”<\/p>\n One of the original members of the band Jungkook said he believed that hiring a man old enough to be his great-great grandfather was a step in the right direction to improve their image and sales. He added that most boy bands throughout music history have had an older member anyway to diversify the group.<\/p>\n “Yeonggam is like the great-great grandfather I never had, or really asked for,” said Jungkook when asked about what it was like working with a member who was older than any of his own relatives. “I look up to Yeonggam even though he’s actually shorter than me. He has truly inspired me to be more like him in many ways, such as waking up at 2:30 in the morning every day, going to bed at 4 in the afternoon, and listening to music on something called a record player.”<\/p>\n But like everything in life, all good things must unfortunately come to an end.<\/p>\n “We have some sad news, everyone.”<\/p>\n At publishing time, BTS had announced some sad news on their social media accounts that their newest senior citizen<\/a> boy band<\/a> member had just died due to a rare condition known as “old age.” Members of the group said that they would probably be a little more upset about Yeonggam’s untimely death had they known him for more than three hours.<\/p>\nBTS has a huge announcement<\/h3>\n
Time to say goodbye<\/h3>\n
