According to the US National Institute of Mental Health, this fear called glossophobia affects 75% of the population. Apart from the dramas, I listen to K-pop and I am, ahem, a BTS fan.

There are tonnes of advice from public speaking gurus on the Internet like using the right body language and making eye contact with the audience.
