How could I say "BTS sings better than EXO"in Korean?
(that was literally the homework our korean teacher gave us lmao)
I don't know much korean because it's just my second class but was thinking it would be something like "비티에스는 엑소보다 더 노래를 잘해" but it isn't like that, is it? what would be the right answer? (please explain)

Question

Answer

"비티에스는 엑소보다 더 노래를 잘해" => this sounds like presenting a new fact about 비티에스.
"비티에스가 엑소보다 더 노래를 잘해" => this just emphasizes the fact 비티에스 is better.

The difference between the two comes from the difference between the particles 은/는(topic) and 이/가(subject).
It is an important and involved subject that runs through a large part of the language.

Also, you can make the sentence slightly more natural by reordering a part: 
1. 비티에스가 엑소보다 더 노래를 잘해.
2. 비티에스가 엑소보다 노래를 더 잘해.

#1 is also widely used but I think #2 is a tiny tiny bit better.

Answer

lol your teacher must be an ARMY

Answer

it's correct. Plus, you can also use 비티에스'가' 엑소보다 더 노래를 잘 해. Either way is okay.
