     GOT7 – What’s with the name? Originally, it was supposed to be GET7, but it sounded weird when pronounced.      So the company decided to name the group GOT7. But fans call them all sorts of names. SAVAGE7, MEME7, 7-ELEVEN... think of a word that describes a group and then add 7 and that’s basically GOT7.      GOT7 is composed of 7 members (if that wasn’t already obvious in the group name): Lim/Im Jaebeom, Mark Tuan/Tuan Yi En, Jackson Wang/Wang Jia Er, Park Jinyoung, Choi Youngjae, Bambam, Kim Yugyeom (GOT7!).

     Finally! After so long of putting up with buffer periods that take forever, links that lead to computer viruses, and mostly unreliable websites (except for a select few), we finally get to stream some K-dramas on a reliable streaming service!

     We’ve heard of samgyeopsal, we’ve heard of jajangmyeon, we’ve heard of tteokboki, and other extremely popular Korean dishes. But with so many iconic dishes in Korean cuisine, it’s easy to overlook some of them. Fortunately, we’re here to remind you! Here are a few Korean foods you should grab when you get the chance. Bossam      Similar to samgyeopsal, bossam is a pork belly and shoulder dish served with a plethora of side dishes.
