Process

From the above reasonings, I decided to do something related to Asian pop culture. I decided on BTS (Bangtan Boys) for two reasons: I "learned" the dance during a GBM, and they had interesting data on YouTube. Like many K-pop videos, they have a music video version and a dance version, which is sometimes even more popular. It is also important to note that I only took the data from the official BTS videos, from 1thek and bangtantv. The first way I misrepresented the data was I only took the music video views. I compared it against the song's placement on US World Billboard, which I chose because YouTube is not popular in Korea, and many views on YouTube are from around the world. Initially, I wanted to portray how views on YouTube increased for BTS if corresponded to a higher or lower rank on the billboard instead of a middle rank, I portrayed the trend for songs that placed in the top 25. I then noticed that the song with the smallest number of views actually had the most members that composed it, so I depicted the composing members as a weight that decreased the view count.
