Google Launches BTS X Street Galleries As ARMY's Birthday Gift, Here's How To Join BTS' Virtual Tour
JAKARTA - On July 9 yesterday, Army (the official name of BTS fans) celebrated their ninth anniversary. While celebrating its anniversary, Google released a new street view experiment via its Art & Culture platform.
BTS x Street Galleries is a collaboration between 21 pop icons BTS and the Google Art & Culture Lab, launched to mark the birthday of BTS fans.
This experiment will take you on a virtual cultural tour of memorable places or places this South Korean boy group has visited. From the United Nations in New York City to the Cheonggu Building in Seoul, where BTS's story begins.
When you open and run this experiment, you'll see that each of the BTS members has warped Street Galleries with artwork that reflects their personal story, as well as messages of love, acceptance, and hope the band strives for.
One example is the leader of BTS, RM. RM takes us on a tour to one of the street galleries in Namdaemoon, Seoul. According to the leader, this location is special for them because BTS is starting a global concert there in 2021.
For those of you who are Army, you can try it in the following way:
Type BTS x Street Galleries in your desktop or smartphone browser. Click the “run experiment” option and wait for a few moments. After the loading process is complete, the BTS street art display will appear. You can also see the BTS member icon in the lower right corner of the screen. From there, you will see two options appear which are “Explore With BTS” or “Create Your Own”. If you choose "Explore With BTS", then we will be taken to explore the street art of each BTS member. Apart from that, you can also use the “Create Your Own” feature, to create your own street arts via the desktop version of the browser.
