Intro: Welcome to today's VoiceTube Pronunciation Challenge. I am your host, Mia! Hey! Are you an ARMY? I mean, not the army, an organized military force equipped for fighting on land, or many people or things. But the fan's name of a K-pop superband, BTS. Some of you might be familiar with the band's name, BTS. They might be the most successful and celebrated K-pop band standing on the world's stage over the past few years. They can always make a new music sensation whenever their new album is released. Like, I am not a person who is really into K-pop, but I also know BTS, for some of my friends are their die-hard fans. My friends collect small cards that have the image of members of the group printed on them. It's like collecting stamps, you know? But different forms. Since many of my friends are so obsessed with this K-pop band, I really wonder how much money this super popular band makes each year. I guess it might be a looooot. If you are curious about this, check out this video later. And know, let's see today’s sentence. - Sentence: Although they have a lavish lifestyle, the BTS members are known for their humble personalities and don't publicly flaunt their fortunes. ( I’ll repeat the sentence again slowly.) Although they have a lavish lifestyle, the BTS members are known for their humble personalities and don't publicly flaunt their fortunes. - Pronunciation tips: 1. although Let’s separate the word into 2 syllables, the first syllable is “al” and the second is “though.” In the first syllable, the pronunciation is the same as “all -/ɑːl/,“ which is a very simple word means whole. And then the second syllable-”though”/ðoʊ/, “th” is pronounced /ð/, and then the “ough” is pronounced /oʊ/ because we don’t pronounce the “gh” here. So combining the two syllables, we get /ɑːlˈðoʊ/.
2. lavish Two syllables. In the first syllable, the first vowel is “a,” you have to open your mouth, and your tongue should be flat. It’s like how you pronounce the “a” in apple. Is /æ/. And then in the second syllable, sh is /ʃ/. Combine the two syllables, /ˈlæv.ɪʃ/.
3. fortune 2 syllables, “for” and “tune.” In the second syllable, “tune”, the “t” is not pronounced the /t/ sound. Is not /tuːn/. But it is /tʃ/ sound. So it is like, /tʃuːn/.

It seems that before they really succeed, they also put a lot of effort into the path to pursue their dreams. I've watched a documentary before that talks about what the life of trainees is like in some Korean entertainment companies. They have to get up in the early morning and practice singing and dancing until late at night. Some people have to be a trainee for 3 or even 5 years, and they can really debut, while more people cannot successfully make it to the stage. That's really tough, right? Hope if any of you is trying hard to achieve your dream and goal, can get the great result you expect, like the success of BTS! Go for it! This is the end of today's episode; I hope you'll like it. I am Mia. See you next time, bye bye!
