BTS, pasok na sa 2022 Hall of Fame ng ‘Guinness World Record’ dahil sa naitalang 23 world records

LAST September 2, in-announce ng Guinness World Records na ang K-pop superstars and Grammy nominees na BTS ay pasok na sa 2022 Hall of Fame dahil sa nagawa ng South Korean boy group na 23 world records.

“At the moment of writing the group holds a staggering 23 world records, making them one of the most successful bands in the history of Guinness World Records,” ayon sa representative.

“Culturally, BTS jumping from strength to strength aided a global rediscovery of South Korean society. Their popularity grew hand in hand with a general awareness and passion for ‘K-culture,’ which spread across the web like wildfire. It’s hard to determine if the rise of trends such as K-beauty and K-dramas is a consequence or a cause of BTS’ ever-growing popularity, but one thing is for sure: the country is, now more than ever, one of the global trendsetters,” dagdag pa.

“The barriers BTS overcame – cultural, linguistic, and within the music industry – and the way they unified so many people across the world with the sheer power of their art is, and will continue to be, an inspiration,” ayon pa rin sa Guinness, na nagpahayag na ang BTS ay makikita o mababasa sa Guinness World Records 2022 sa mga pahina na 212 at 213.

HABANG nagti-taping ang cast ng longest action-drama series na FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano na pinagbibidahan ni Coco Martin  sa  mala-palasyong  bahay ni Mayor Chavit Singson sa tabing dagat sa Narvacan, Ilocos Sur  na halos katulad ng mga nagsisipaglakihang  bahay ng mga sikat na Hollywood personalities sa California, ang masipag  at galanteng alkalde naman  ay nasa South Korea  ngayon upang mag-invest ng tumataginting na 100 million dollars sa nasabing bansa.

Katatapos lang pumirma si Mayor Chavit ng memorandum of understanding para sa 1.7 billion dollars resort development project.

Kasama ng butihing mayor dito  ang Gangwon Province government, East coast Free Economic Zone Authority, Korea Investment & Securities Co. at Hyundai  Asset Management Co.

Kasali sa proyektong ito ang pagpapatayo ng resort centers at ocean complexes sa Donghae City, nasa 260 km silangang bahagi ang layo mula sa Seoul.

Plano rin ng LCS Group na pinamumunuan ni Mayor Singson ang bumili ng mga properties para sa mga sarili nitong business doon.

Ang LCS group ang pinakaunang Philippine company na mag-invest para sa real estate development project sa bansang South Korea.

Pagdating dito sa Pilipinas, ang group of companies ni Mayor Chavit ay nakatutok sa mining, transportation, defense, logistics at telecommunication towers.

Bukod sa pag-invest ng madiskarteng mayor sa South Korea, tinututukan din ngayon ni  Mayor Singson ang pagpapalagay ng solar panel para sa bagong parking lot ng  public market sa bayan ng Narvacan na kanyang pinamumunuan.

Ang solar panel ang pagmumulan ng supply ng kuryente para sa charging stations ng electric jeepneys sa nasabing lugar.
