In 2015, BTS delivered this gem after being slighted on a music show where the camerawork repeatedly zoomed out during their stage while other groups were filmed cleanly and clearly. Fans watching noticed the slight.
BTS responded by being their impeccable selves!

Namjoon has expressed the Love Concept in his letter. We’ve seen the red boxes with the HYBE logo that read “What is your love song?” going up in Seoul, London, Tokyo, and NYC. I think Namjoon just dropped some poetic insight into the meaning. See letter below. #bts #HYBE #army #arirang #love

Jungkook performed “Standing Next to You.” at iHeartRadio, Dec. 2023. He looked so at ease on stage. He moves with the confidence you get from knowing that the access you have now, you earned the hardest way and deserve. He’s got such swag! Respect for our maknae lead vocalist.

DNA (Sept 18, 2017), from Love Yourself ‘Her’. Love at first sight is framed as fate. Attraction is written into your DNA and thus predestined. DNA was BTS’s first Billboard Hot 100 entry and a clear sign of the global breakthrough that was about to shake up Global Pop!

BTS stands atop the K-Pop mountain.This is FACT. Much respect to predecessors and K-pop beneficiaries but NO individual or group can ever takeaway the barrier-breaking, western pop-music model DISRUPTOR impact & legacy of BTS. BTS is part of S. Korea’s GDP for a reason. LEGENDS #bts #army #arirang

We Are Bulletproof Pt.2
(2013)
BTS debuted as a hard-edged hip-hop group, without idol polish. Baggy clothes, aggressive choreography, confrontational lyrics.
We Are Bulletproof Pt.1 appeared as an intro/skit. Pt.2 is a louder delivery of their ‘we’re outsiders’ declaration.

RM “Wild Flower” (2022, Indigo), feat. Youjeen. He raps about choosing roots over fame and staying grounded while the world pushes glitzy production. It’s a somber, reflective piece revealing his experience and struggles with the extreme fame he now has.

BTS’s “Yet To Come (The Most Beautiful Moment)” from Proof was filmed in the Mojave Desert and performed live with a band at Proof Live in the same desert on June 13, 2022.
The best moments are very close starting March 20th. I’m so excited for this album, tour and the MVs.

Jin performing “The Astronaut” live with Coldplay during Music of the Spheres in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Chris Martin wrote this song for Jin. There’s a lot of respect and friendship between Coldplay and BTS. It was endearing to see Jin as the maknae in stage.
