Subtitled version here: ukposts.info/have/v-deo/b5aHhX2arZ2epoU.html

I don't think their energy was off, this interview was not about yelling and fooling around, it was a serious talk about the album ! I appreciate that considering their US interviews are always about collabs, who's the member that's always late, etc.

Everyone: being serious and talking deep about the album Junkook: Playing with the rubber band and annoying Jimin with it

This is like the only American interview where there is good questions

I only have one thing to say: Jimin just getting hotter and hotter That was it for me thank ya

What is your next goal? Min Yoongi: grammy nomination Grammy: *WRITE THAT DOWN WRITE THAT DOWN*

The translator's voice sounds a lot like Jin's and when he started talking I thought that Jin got fluent in English out of nowhere lol I was so surprised

In the lyrics of We Are Bulletproof: The Eternal, Jin sings the line, “We were only 7” This shows that only 7 boys are enough and are needed to make a big dream possible. I really feel him and the other members when listening to these songs. Most people know that the song “ON” is technically a sequel to “N.O” that released in 2013, and they are linking this album to the past to show how well they’ve done and the amount of success and support that has been given to them. Another thing about the, “We were only 7.” Line. It’s been *7* years since they’re debut. 7 seems to be a very important number for not only this song, but the entire album as well since it is literally called, “Map Of The Soul: 7”. I honestly can’t wait to see lots more symbolism in other songs from this album as well and future albums! Keep doing you BTS! Don’t stress you yourselves because we purple you 💜💜💜

Suga is officially clairvoyant “Billboard?” *performs on billboard* “Grammy?” *attends grammy* now we just need a nomination and performance, and maybe next they could have concerts at countries they never visited before, because for me i think that the best award is everyone being able to watch bts live

everyone: *talking seriously* jungkook: rubber baaand jimin: NO- tae: wow rubber band

Yoongi’s wish list though out the years: “Billboard hot ten” “Billboard awards” Came true “Grammy” 2018 Came true “Grammy performance”2019 Came true “Grammy nominations and solo performance” 2020 THATS GONNA COME TRUE YOONGI JUST WAIT

No one going to talk about how RM looked like a whole snack in the thumbnail

Why am I expecting Hobi giving Jimin another solo cd for "Friends", like what he did on "Promise"? He's very supportive to Jimin writing songs.

“When you dont know where to go, i think the best way is to walk down the road that you have been walking on” - Kim Namjoon, 2020

"when you don't know where to go, I think the best way is to walk down the road you've always been walking on. " 2:57 - Kim Namjoon, 2020 Idk abt u guys.... But I really needed this Namjoon, thank you. 😢💜💜❤️❤️

No one: Not a single person: Jungkook: I am going to bring a rubber band to the interview because I dont usually talk🐰

"grammy nomination performance" *WHAT SUGA WANTS, SUGA GETS*

I feel like everyone looks just extremely exhausted, especially Namjoon... Comeback season is always really stressful for them, I hope they take care~

*Jungkook playing with rubberband in his own world* Jimin: *this kid*

can we just appreciate how well worded namjoon's thoughts are even with the language barrier, this man is truly a world class president...best leader alive

I am still dying of jimin’s and jungkook’s Hair🤦🏼‍♀️😂😂

The fact that even after achieving all of this, they stay humble. Even to themselves. As RM stated that the album is about their self-reflection as Artists and How they think that it's still a Dream and they wonder where they are? The songs on the album all fit well with the concept as they all tell their stories about being Artists. As jungkook's *My time* tells us about how he grew up too fast and now dosen't have time for himself. Taehyung's *Inner child* tells us about his growth as a person and all the changes he went through, From being a kid who was always expected to be Bubbly and smiling, he has now became a calm Adult. Jimin's *Filter* where he signifies how he is willing to put on a filter himself to pleases the audience and get their appreciation and Jin's *Moon* as a love song for Army's in which he says he is a like a moon to Army's who are the earth and he will provide light to the earth, as he helps us with his light and inspirational messages. *ON* signifies their hardships as they say bring the "pain on" and *Louder than Bombs* about being louder than the negativity as "they keep singing louder than bombs". *Black swan* being an artist's fear of losing his passion. And the very special song which a holds a special place in every Army's heart *The Eternal* which is about OUR journey ...About BTS and Army and how they were just seven against the world but they are not alone anymore because Army's are here for them. There are no more Seven with Us This album is seriously the best Work I have seen from them. They have truly embarked themselves as legendary artists. Edit: Thank you so much for the likes, I did not expect at all 💜💜

Jk: playing with rubber band Jimin: *_YOU BETTER STOP_*

Dude. RM is like getting deep and he's so wise. Like wow.

favorite track members: RM: O'clock Suga: UGH! Jin: Moon Jhope: friend Jimin: ON JK: My Time V: UGH! "yeah i already suspect that taehyung likes UGH! as we know taehyung likes all passwords especially to his brother Suga" V: Yes, Suga is my bias

who tf was whispering “ y e a h “ during the transLATION LMAO-

2:00 Jungkook: Nobody's watching *Pulls the rubber band* Jimin: *DON'T YOU DARE BISH*

Damn namjoon and his speeches be having me standing up in my room for no god damn reason namjoon for president anybody?!

RM : Talking. Jimin : staring at RM J-Hope : looking around and at the interviewer V: looking down a lot and nodding. Suga : focusing,talking,looking around,yawning Jin : staring at a spot,being handsome. Meanwhile : Jungkook : *..”..I’m gonna bring a rubber band to play with :O..”..* The interviewer : Very nice . I appreciate this guy.

Yoongi: Grammy nomination ARMY : you heard him KARMA: *enters the chat*

Finally... an American interviewer asking BTS quality questions. Usually it's just nonsense bs

No one : Literally no one in BTS : Expected JUNGKOOK : I got rubberband ...

I studied Philosophy for about 6 years, and I still cant believe how smart Namjoon is.

3:57 “What is the next goal?” Suga: ᴳʳᵃᵐᵐʸ ⁿᵒᵐᶦⁿᵃᵗᶦᵒⁿ *guYS WE GOT ANOTHER PREDICTION COMIN OUR WAY*

One of the best interviewers, caring, great questions, let them answer in korean and had an actual translator! The rubber and jk had is a psychological technique used to keep ones hands busy if you are a hair puller, or picker, habits like that. Seemed to work well. It means JK’s is getting good attention for stressful situations! That makes me very happy

The way Jungkook said "My time." That was sexy dude

Jungkook giggling after he said ‘My Time’ was his favorite track was the cutest thing

I just can’t focus on Namjoons speech when Jungkook is just giggling and playing with his rubber band while annoying Jimin😂

J-hope - “friend, chingu” Jimin - “oh thank you” J-hope - “oh yes” *shakes hands with Jimin* My heart 🥺

Rm’s english has always been amazing especially bc he taught himself but you can clearly see that he improved a lot and studied for it

Can’t get over how beautifully and eloquently RM speaks, just blows me away 💜

I love how they had a translator. I think language barrier is a big reason they stay quiet a lot. Speaking in Korean is much easier for them to say what they wanna say (aside from RM of course).

No one: Not a single person: Jungkook: I Think I’m just gonna bring a rubber band to this interview

Jimin is a sweetheart! When Hobi said “friend” and Jimin immediately thanked him and shook his hand 😭

This was a very respectable interview. I am glad they’re being taken seriously as artist and not a gimmick.

Can we appreciate how beautifully the interviewer is asking his questions with such a calm tone ?

Jungkook: *RubBeRbAnD* Jimin: *DoN'T-* Me: _where did you get that from?_

Namjoon's word were just powerful and I just feel motivated everytime he speaks up. His words are all right and true bc of their journey to be this far.

Interviewer: “What’s the next step for BTS?” Yoongi: _Billboard stage_ BTS: **performs at Billboards** Interviewer: “What is your next goal?” Yoongi: _Grammy nomination and performance_ WHAT SUGA WANTS, SUGA GETS. LETS GET HIM HIS WISH ARMYS💜GRAMMYS WATCH OUT WE”RE COMING FOR YOU, WE’LL SHOW YOU WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU SNUB BTS.😜LETS GET THIS BREAD 🥖

Subtitles r better than dubbing their voices

Taehyung the biggest rapline enthusiast! He himself did an amazing job with Inner Child as well though. ♡

*This feels like a real moment of reflection for you guys too. So many tracks are nods to past songs…* *RM:* Many things were not intended as far as our career. We didn’t know we would ever reach this kind of position. Of course, we dreamed, we wanted to get big, we wanted to go as high as we could, but we never expected this kind of energy, this kind of reaction all over the world. One day, we woke up and we were like, “Where are we?” When you don’t know where to go, I think the best way is to walk down the road you have been walking on. So, the reboot [songs] is the best way to reflect ourselves and figure out ourselves again: Where are we? What are we doing? Who were we in the past? And [who are we] right now? That’s how it happened My favourite part! 👆

Nobody: Literally nobody: Jungkook: *hits Jimin with a rubber band*

These guys look so tired. They must have had such a long day already.

I love the way they actually had a proper interview and where they have a serious talk about the new album 🥺

Finally! A serious interview! (I'm not saying some other interviews weren't serious, but I love how deep and serious these questions are)

Sometimes I feel bad when they ask “what’s the next step/goal?” especially during cb interviews. It’s like being in the midst of chaos of just releasing an album, and before you can even grasp reactions or the effect of your hard work, you get asked “well what’s happening next?” Releasing the album itself was the next step. Also why ask the question if their answer last year was the same? In conclusion, the question “what’s the next step?” is kind of belittling the hard work that comes with their cb. Let them digest the situation, reactions, and praise that comes with releasing an album before asking what’s next.

I can't concentrate on RM's speech because of Jungkook's rubberband... where did you find that?? And stop hitting Jimin with it... lol

hoseok: “friends, chingu” jimin: *about to answer but stops to shake hoseok’s hand* oh thank you

The fact that Jimin, Jin, and Yoongi were comfortable giving an answer without prompting says a lot

Namjoon be looking like a whole meal with that hairstyle, black t-shirt and his sleeves rolled up

When Yoongi said grammy nomination they all were deadly serious like before they used to laugh it out but now they know that they totally deserve it Omfg I've never got this many likes..thank you ARMYs

jungkook: ya know what i’m gonna bring a rubber band to this interview

Honestly, the interview here has more depth than those of the rest. I really like how interested the guy seemed.

JK looks like the kid who has nothing do and is sitting in the adults conversation not knowing what's going on.😂😂

WHO TF WAS whispering “yeh” when the translator was speaking WHAT FHS JECAKDNSJD

I love how jimin said “oh thank you” and J-hope said “oh yes”

Jimin is so handsome, talented & misterious. And he always stands out. Both men & women are 'gravitating' towards him..

I'm so proud of RM! he's great with English and he's great in explaining and give reasoning behind everything BTS has done or will in the past/present and the future. I've watched like million interviews with them but him here is something that hits home. He's not even my closest bias but I feel like he deserves all the attention rn. I don't want to come out rude but BTS should be very much thankful for his presence and leading skills cause he's one hella of a spokesmen, and greatest leader who works so hard on keeping and guiding his crew through better paths, riches and glories. I bow down king.

Finally Yoongi clearly stated his wish : GRAMMY NOMINATION AND PERFORMANCE

2:37 first Time hear them speaking openly on this topic. It has got me. Rm explained it and I have had goosebumps

Naamjoon looks really tired and still he is giving answerss to same questions in all interviews. he is taking and being the best leader. I know he is leader and OTHERS also lead in some sort of THINGS but naamjoon is the one who keeps EVERYONE toghter. LOVE TO HIM FRM INDIA

RM: “solo performance” THE PRESIDENT HAS SPOKEN

RM: *answering most of the questions* jin: *thinking if he turned off the stove* SUGA: *sips starbucks* jhope: *being hopefull* jimin: *looking pissed* taehyung:*straight face* jk : *trying to piss jimin with his rubberband*

yoongi be sipping his coffee like "ahhhhh so refreshing" junkook be playing with a rubber band like "what are these people saying, goodness this is boring"

This was one of the best interviews I ever saw. The questions were ACTUALLY about them, their inspiration and their journey, not just about possible collaborations and other western™ questions. Really grateful for the interviewer and the effort behind all of this.

I liked how the interviewer didn't cut off the members when they speak, especially namjoon. I also appreciated the dubbed translation. I guess the only slight I could think of is it could be better if the subtitles are provided as well. Kudos to the interviewer for doing a great job!

Q: Favorite track from other member Tae: Ugh! Namjoon: This cypher enthusiast would never give up. Sigh*

He asked do you think you’ve found yourselves again? I think it shows a lot in their faces these days. They look genuinely happier! I truly hope so!

"When you don't know where to go, I think the best way is to walk down the road that you've been walking upon" - RM This reminded me of Ego's lyrics in which hobi says "the way is shinin, keep going now". Shadow talked about the fears within themselves as they continue to walk down this path which they are travelling for 7 years. While in the lyrics of Ego ( mentioned previously ), it depicts the maturity bts has now as they have accepted "fame" as a part that makes up ego. I have read in map of the soul book that according to Carls Jung, "ego" has been derived by "I". So to know your " I" you have to accept your shadows and walk down the road of your life. This has been perfectly explained in the lyrics of "louder than bombs" in which as they were facing their shadows they felt like :" louder than bombs I break, ah~" but even after they felt it was difficult, they later on had stated, they still continue to sing for the world and of course for their beloved fandom: A.R.M.Y. Thinking deeply, as always not only this album but their map of the soul series in general carry a significant message. Their each album since their debut album " 2 cool 4 skool" shows the development in maturity and this album which is 7 depicts the peakest point of their maturity as they go through the idol life.

No one: Literally no one: Not even Hobi: Jungkook: *The whole interview playing with rubber band*

Namjoon looks really tired .And I can't imagine the amount of pressure that is on him every time they are on American interviews.

wow!! variety is actually professional.

Only 13 seconds in and already we've got RM showing love to vocal line 👍 Hobi appreciating Friend and Jimin thanking him 🥰 Jin hyping his own song and RM casting a look 😏 JK doing the same and laughing, RM laughing and 'punched' by JK 😁 V being the rap line fanboy he is 💜

Suga's wish will definitely come true. It's not even a coincidence that he's literally getting everything that he says that he wanted to have at this point (Billboard Hot 10 & top 1 album, Grammy performance, Jamsil concert, etc.)

Everyone is so serious while Jk just being maknae himself keeps on playing with the rubber band and hitting jimin with it ^^

glad Jeff did this interview. feels right with somebody that respects their art and the korean industry as a whole.

God bless Namjoon for always answering to the best of his abilities

Yoongi: Grammy Nominations He said it! WHAT YOONGI SAYS , YOONGI GETS

I’m trying to focus on rm speaking and I just see jimin side eyeing jungkook playing with a rubber bands lmao

0:35 did jungkook just rolled the rubber band on jin's back? this little kid i-

Bless you for translators. It allows them to all be comfortable sharing without having to be stressed about how to say it in English.

i realize how the media is better prepared for them when there's a real time translator for the fans. Thanks for the respect!

"What's the next level?" 2018 suga: grammy 2020 suga: grammy let's work harder ARMY

I really appreciate this interviewer, the questions he asked the boys were actually interesting and he was very respectful to the boys.

Jungkook: *playing with his rubber band* Jimin: *imma steal that*

Of course UGH would be Tae’s favorite GOSH WHY DONT THEY JUST LET HIM BE IN A CYPHER STYLE SONG ALREADY

Yoongi: grammy nomination, performance Namjoon: *Solo* performance Yes President Namjoon! Tell em it should be solo !

“Friend” “Chingu” “Oh thank you” I’m still living for their English till this day

this is the best energy in an interview I’ve ever seen.. the calmness.. the moment for reflection. It’s fresh to see interviewers so genuine and calm, and to see our boys matching that energy with their own twist and love 🥺
