BTSCelebs takes a moment to acknowledge the love the Midwest is receiving from the K-Pop industry.

K-Pop has been good to us this year! Boyfriend and B.A.P arrived in and around the Chicagoland area this past Spring for their adoring American fans. Next month, two more hot boy bands, 2PM and VIXX, plan to light up stages in Rosemont and Merrillville.

My question is… where is SHINee? The previous bands mentioned bring immense happiness to their vast followings, but my heart has always been with SHINee. They have landed on the East and West coasts and even made an appearance at the Billboard K-Pop Masters Concert in Las Vegas in 2011.

This fall, they are touring all over Japan for their latest SHINee World tour installment.

In 2015, I hope SHINee is the next K-Pop boy band to grace Chicago soil. SHINee, we are waiting.

Author and Women’s Ministry leader Sarah Jakes has found her Boaz!

Almost two months after the release of her “Colliding With Destiny” book, Sarah announced to the world that she is engaged to Pastor Touré Roberts. She quickly disclosed the happy news in the form of a message about her visit to One Church.

“Last night I shared the stage with my fiancé Pastor Touré Roberts. For the first time together we shared with the congregation of One Church the love God has blessed us with. I’m honored and humbled to serve such a beautiful community that welcomed me so graciously. Many of us have experienced relationships that threatened to leave us damaged or afraid to try again. I pray this video is a reminder that where love meets faith God abides! I encourage you to watch the service from beginning to end. The worship experience is incomparable and sets a beautiful atmosphere of truth, joy, and transparency.”

Movie Review: “Lyfe’s Journey”

Lyfe’s Journey_1

A touching family movie.

BTSCelebs had the special opportunity to view UP tv’s upcoming movie “Lyfe’s Journey”. This emotional tale follows the life of successful bank manger David Lyfe (actor Keith Robinson) who loses his upper class lifestyle after one extramarital affair. Actress Angell Conwell stars as his trusting wife Tricia. She is expecting baby number 2 when she discovers her husband’s infidelity. Her mother (DeEtta West) persuades her to divorce David and start a new life.

One setback after another lands David on the streets with nowhere else to turn. The only way he’s saved is by grace.

Lyfe’s Journey_2

I thoroughly enjoyed watching this film. It was well written and had superb actors. At the end of the film, I questioned why “Lyfe’s Journey” wasn’t being released in theaters. I highly recommend all ages to check out this moving motion picture. Bravo to Screenwriter Corey A. Prince, Director Ryan Richmond and the entire Swirl Films team!

This gem sparkles brighter than any inspirational film I’ve viewed this year.

“Lyfe’s Journey” premieres this Sunday on UP tv.

*A Special Thanks to UP tv’s PR and David Gardner.*
