No worries you still made an amazing piece once again using real facts not pure assumptions and baseless opinions. We value your work. 💜💜💜

Don't worry! your videos are really good and I complete every single one I click despite my lack of focus. Would love to hear about your discovery of bts and their impact on yourself (and your process of making video) cause I feel you are able to see everything they would want to show to their fans. Thanks for the videos!

No worries, enjoyed the video as always

Honestly every fandom needs someone like you who looks beyond and takes time to analyze. In an intelligent and resourceful way. If talk show hosts did the same our artists would be more comfortable. Am proud of you as an army. You need more recognition. Borahae army. 💜💜💜💜💜💜

I can't hear it on my TV but it sounds normal on my phone Grateful either way ❤

yep yep

But they are still my favorite

Agree 💯 with Kim Namjoon... Time changes everything; so we change, things change and that's for real

YESH! #aRMyLOVE💙💕 #YetToComePROOF #BTSPavedTheWay!

Yep! My favorite song on Indigo! Brilliant man!

Totally😂😂

F*cking real

Yes, it's their easiest way to get some ARMYs' empathy and not being seen as a hater

good point there

For real lol I just stop reading their non sensical paras

Ya

@@Jazmin22271 jaz you here :)

Yes it is the reason only great artists experiment and develop, learn new things try new things bland old with the new in different ways. It's just part of being an amazing artist, it's the same in every field of life. If people stopped 'thinking outside the box' we stagnate. Humans are design to explore.

All their songs ARE their sound. It’s the reason why BTS stands out from regular kpop. 🤩💜

@@sashalexia correct well said 💜💜💜

Their old sound was more Korean And sounds better than English crap

@@richakushwah3679 korean sound? When in fact kpop wasn't original to begin with it was built from black music's aka an english songs. The best example of korean sound will be arirang. Do you heard any bts songs or album w/ that kind of sound? Like bffr BTS started as a hiphop groups and hiphop is a black invented genre aka english song and sound. From the very beginning bts and the rest of the kpop industry sound exactly and copy of the "eNglIsh CrAP" you yapping about 💀

True and they have a boring set in stone mindset they are not music lovers.

Maybe they WERE listening. The songs WERE mostly written by RM... especially the lyrics. It's just that their ears MAY only be attuned (unknowingly) to songs HE writes, and they might just need to open their hearts (creative minds?) to other BTS styles, and do some analysis on WHY they prefer the older material. #aRMyLOVE💙💕 #YetToComePROOF #TAKETWO #INDIGO #RM_SOMETHING💕💙 #CLOSER💕 #SEXYNUKIM #BOTTEGAVENETA #D_DAYandVALENTINOandNBAandSAMSUNG #JACKINTHEBOXandOnTheStreetandLOUISVUITTON #JINNYsKITCHENandCELINEandSlowDancingLAYOVER! #TheASTRONAUTandJINRAMENandCARTIER #DREAMERSandCALVINKLEINandSEVEN #FACEandDIORandTIFFANY&CO #BTSPavedTheWay!

Maybe you're right, but it's also true that a lot of producers, especially from the West, are involved in BTS's newer songs. This is also one of the reasons why the sound of their songs (not all of them, mostly english one) is just a little different, gives different vibe. I prefer songs where the members have more input into the songs or their old Korean producers. The way BTS members write or produce songs is also a reason to like their Collab songs with other artists and they are in the credits of other artists songs. Western producers are kind of taking away Korean/K-pop sound from BTS. I would like BTS's music to still be mainly created by the members, Supreme boi, Slow rabbit, Pddog, Bang PD, but other producers (from the west) would make only small corrections or give suggestions and not be the main producers of the songs. You can clearly see and hear when the members wrote the lyrics and when they made the instrumental for the song. Sometimes the lyrics are better than the sound of the song. The members' lyrics always contains something profound, but it is often the case that their deep lyrics has to be changed at the suggestion of someone else and is loosing its meaning, becomes more plain

@@betxengi5388 I don't see where all I see is them trying new things, experimenting. For their Solo work they clearly only did what they wanted and they had their own reasons and it's to do with Artist Development. Trying things with different people within the global and home music industry. I think this is good for them as individual artists who can then bring what they've discovered to put into the melting pot that is BTS. So far there's not a single song I haven't found pearls in be it a melody a beat the subject matter the tone of voice the different instruments involved. It's a feast for the ears, eyes and brain. It all has meaning meaning to them. You might not always get the meaning, the reasoning but that's okay. There can be many differing layers to things, be extremely complex in nature, puzzles to figure out, questions being asked. Things can be simple and to the point some can be to make you think seriously other's can be to lighten you up, make you laugh, smile, even get up and dance. Everything with BTS is thoughout and has a reason behind it we might not always get that at first or even second or third sight and need other's to point us in the right direction. But that is the beauty of art.

@@betxengi5388 bts have no Korean/kpop sound so what you r saying is ridiculous. like this whole video is a about that. they r too versatile and experimental to have a sound/be put in a box

This

Exactly

I feel like BTS discography has evolved naturally but there is something that makes you know it is BTS... I like groups that flavour and unique sound for them, it does not mean it sounds the same but that you listen and know who you are listening.

@@belaytriks i agree

Truee

Fully agree. The same song and style by the most K-pop groups as Blackpink, for example.

So now if you listen to other artists, you are not a "true bts fans" and most likely diminish bts? I found this video in my algorithm and this is the first comment, kpop fans are so parasocial and dumb lol touch some grass

Bts are industry plants of south Korean govt, that's how they reached America's Biden 😂

Yeah

Yes, this goes well with the opinion I wrote below about BTS becoming too popular…

Amen to that statement. Variety is the spice of life.

Exactly They're the same people who say "Xyz artist is so boring, all their songs sound the same" Like b!txt tf do you even want?!

Exactly

Not just kpoppies, its across the western industry too. Change is not acceptable because it is a risk and fans may not like the change, so the labels control it so that change isn’t allowed. Or is minimised.

Same.

​@nikki4noo That's true, I quit listening to American artists for a decade because I was sick of same genre from the same artist. I feel like they all sound the same after awhile. I think kpop fans are more controlling though because they would criticized on everything. I had no idea dating is a sin until I got into BTS. 😂

@@hoanhuynh7059 yeah even if they are loosing some fans from their new comeback it doesnt mean they are loosing a whole fandom its huge and new fans also joined the fandomfrom their new combeback like through them we can listen to diff genre but some artists have particular genre they focus on and they don't and they don't evolve their music

@@hoanhuynh7059Same, in terms of American artists. I feel bad for them because they're required to make the music the industry demands of them- except for a rare few ones here and there, and most of those are indie or seriously underrated. But US music has grown so dull. Same sounds, same styles, and oh good grief, the amount of repetition in the lyrics... If all they've got to say is the same phrase over and over, they might just as well hush. (I'm remembering a song that kept repeating, 'I'm speechless' in the chorus, and I was like, 'You keep using that word. I don't think it means what you think it means.')

LIKE BRING MY FAMILY BACK TOGETHER WHAT R THEY DOING IN THE MF BARRACKS WHEN THEY SHOULD BE LIVING THEIR LIFE FREELY, MAKING MUSIC, BEING ON STAGEE ETC OHHHH THIS IS SO SICKKK 😭😭😭😭 @ bluehouse and military you will start coughing in 3 days (ha ha can you tell im being a little dramatic and i miss them so much i feel like throwing up and like a limb is missing and im in my bangtan crying hours haaaahaaa😭😂😂😔) thank god Seokjin is coming back in 2 months because im at my limit and i cant wait to have our moon back🙏🙏🫂🫂💜 not having even one tannie present since december has been nothing short of a nightmare like bts im not your strongest purple soldier pleek

I know, that is my feeling too.

You just need to love music. My aunt loves to say that she's a music lover but she don't like anything that's not rock. And it's ok. People have preferences. But don't say you are a music lover if you want from artist same sound over and over. Am I right or am I right?😁

@@Yoonji9212 That's right too! I've always said that musical taste is subjective, so an artist's work has its preferences obviously too, and loving or hating any kind of genere is perfectly fine. We can't all like or dislike the same things because we're a lot of people, and at the end of the day we can just enjoy what we love, and that's the lovely thing about music too. 🫶🏻💜

Same!💜

Same, i just love music and so happy that i have artist who can supply me with unending vary of genres😊

So true! like some people, generally kpoppies and antis, say how can you preorder a bts album without hearing how songs on it are gonna sound (bts haven't done tracklist teasers [or whatever they r called] for a group album in YEARS) and all i have to say is.. when has bts ever let us down when it comes to an album 😭😭 i always know im gonna get amazing quality music no matter how "different" it may sound from their previous releases. thats how confident i am in their abilities, their craft and them as artists.

I completely agree. It's forever bittersweet to me that BTS and Michael Jackson will never get to meet each other.

Queen is another group who as a rock band experimented with all different genres.

​@@crystalsnow1138 Michael would have loved and adored the tannies i agree ☹️☹️🫂

I will never understand why it is taboo to compare such great artists together, they're the prime examples of diversity and art

the complains often come from multi kpop stan who always discredits bts for anything they do

They just want them to remain their korean teen boy fetish.

💫APPLAUSE!💫 #aRMyLOVE💙💕 #BTSPavedTheWay!

i think people understand that but they’re also still allowed to have their personal music tastes?

@@usahanagirl of course! but say “miss the old bts” doesn’t have any sense, there is no old bts, since their debut they always have a variety of styles

Totally agree with you💜

So they gonna be Bangtan Namjayo now

I am so excited to see how their sound and songs will adapt after their military service. I am sure it will be a success, just like their other 'eras'.

So am I. @@nellagroen2039

Louder for the ignorant people in the back 💜

yes!

And I love that abt them the fact that they change cuz it’s not rly realistic to showcase life in music as a stagnant thing life is always changing and evolving people change and evolve so it’s normal for artists to choose to grow into different directions and find paths that suit their tastes I just love BTS

I grew up on a duo that had a mad-extensive discography, Simon and Garfunkel. There's no genre they didn't do; they even did some songs that could be considered pre-rap, pre-EDM and pre-hip-hop. So, thanks to them, I NEED variety in my music. I just can't get into a group that picks a particular sound and sticks with it. I can enjoy one or two songs from a group or artist, or even three to four, rarely an entire album. But if they keep doing the same old stuff, song after song and album after album; when I can hear just the opening chords of a brand-new song and think, 'Ah, that's definitely (singer's) sound', I get bored and wander away. It's one of the major reasons why I stick with BTS almost exclusively; there just are not that many musicians who produce different genres anymore, and certainly not on BTS's scale. The only other relatively current group I consider myself a fan of is One Republic. (It made me very sad when FUN. broke up, they looked like being a real variety-group.) And the irony is, BTS have expanded my appreciation for music. I never cared for rap; now I enjoy it. (If it's BTS rap.) I never paid much mind to hip-hop; now I do- if it's them. I had no clue about trot. Now... 😄

@@ystrw me too

It taps into the idea that ‘great art only comes from great suffering’. This is such a falsehood as great art can also come from happiness and comfort but the idea of the ‘tortured artist’ as the only ‘true artist’ is still so prevalent today.

@@nikki4nooThat’s exactly what it is. That’s what these people are trying to get at when they say their happy stuff ‘lacks authenticity’. I mean… I know the world isn’t exactly full of rainbows and smiles constantly, and I know that all of us go through our fair share of suffering, even the members still do now, I’m sure. But that doesn’t mean that getting to a point where you have those happy moments, and being able to make art about them is any less valid. I know the bad outweighs the good for a lot of people when it comes to life, I know it does for me personally in fact, and I know they turn to art for relatability in that, and that’s completely fine. But they gotta work on not invalidating happiness… or anything that’s not angst and suffering, just because it may not align with what they’re trying to find a release from in that moment. I personally find a lot of comfort in hearing them happy in their music, and because I see that attitude reflected in their content outside of music, I know it’s authentic and that’s pretty amazing and lovely to see.

For real like they want them to keep making music about sufferings and all….plus one thing I like is that they are still focused on story line, raw and authentic stuff when most Korean artists these days (particularly Kpop groups) are focused on construction music/trendy and aesthetic stuff rather than actually having something simple yet raw! D-Day, Indigo, JITB, Hots, layover are a prime example for that….(not saying Jimin and Jk don’t have good music, there music is very catchy and well produced too but it’s mainstream but still sounds much better than generic pop to me….)

⁠@@Jazmin22271 Agreed! Although, despite being ‘trendy’ sonically, Jimin’s album is 100% introspective and raw. All those songs were written closely with trusted producers he’s known for years about his feelings, stories and struggles, it took him 10 months to complete the album because of it. As for Jungkook, even though he did mention that his music for Golden wasn’t autobiographical, and it does lean more towards a mainstream pop sound, I’d still find it 4838583822x more authentic than 99.9% of kpop, because Jungkook chose those songs himself, he was involved in every aspect of his album and he was the creative mind behind what he wanted. That’s just not a thing for most other kpop groups or idols whether they actually write their songs or not. Even the top groups that are praised for being ‘self producing’ rn are ‘self producing’ in a box that their company gives them, so their ‘creativity’ only goes so far. That’s why even though they’re ’self produced’ it all feels completely surface level and it sounds the same every comeback. Bottom line is, no matter what BTS are doing, when they release music, they’re doing it because they love music and they have something to say, whether it’s written by their own hand or whether they personally pick songs written by others because it resonates with them or they think it’ll resonate with army. Point is, they don’t release music for the sake of it, and that’s the key to their authenticity. Jungkook selecting songs meticulously that he loves and that he feels his audience will love and relate to, is a billion times more authentic than a kpop group being forced to produce songs in a box that their company gives them.

@@Jazmin22271 Face is an amazing album with the story that it told of his personal experience during the pandemic and the struggles he had and then overcame while exploring different styles within that pop genre. SMFP2 is definitely not mainstream and the shock so many had that was his pre-release and him showing that he isn’t just the pretty pop soft voice so many like to box him in to. (Face and Indigo are my top two favs of the solo releases so far, if you can’t tell 😉). I love that with Jungkook’s he had a theme in how the themes of each song flow from first attraction, to a relationship to the break up and exploration of different feelings you might experience.

Yes😂

💯💯💯💯👌👌.. THIS!! There's something about her ... just *something* 🙌

​@@catherinewandera8790 She has a very dignified and unbiased approach to sensitive/controversial subjects, which is a rarity in the commentary space/journalism in general

This way those people can pretend that their life is ok too, if they don't see any changes around them. Cause when they see someone developing and moving forward it makes them to feel inferior cause they think they should too achieve smth. If person os content with themselves, if they live life that they are satisfied with, change in others won't cause the anger, but if it does, it means you don't like your life or situation but you don't want to make effort to change it, and better pull others to the pit with you

@@AlexaOleksa I agree. If you are at a level of maturity where you understand that people change the longer they're alive, you will be able to understand that true artists (those who participate in their own creations) will make art that reflects their changes. To expect anything less shows that the audience is stuck and expects others to be stuck too. Either that, or they think it's okay for them to grow but look down on artists for doing the same for some reason.

@@ZariDV exactly!

THIS!!

I got you though 😂 and Agree as well.

Well said. BTS never stops surprising. That's what occupied my soul. BC why go anywhere else if I already have found my forever artists in BTS

​@@monimuppet6132as of now people tent to forget that BE is existing. They are focusing on Bangtan's 3 English songs and that they "not talking about serious topic" ignoring BE and their solo work like it didn't happened🤦

@@Yoonji9212It’s so wild and funny how much the goalpost keeps moving because I can remember a time when some complained about the LY era being “too serious and glorifying of mental health”, yet as soon as BWL and Dynamite dropped, they lacked “deep and meaningful lyrics”. And like clockwork, both bodies of work are either now or inevitably will be retrospectively idolized as an excuse to dislike the newer releases.

@Yoonji9212 Nahhh but to be fair. I prefer LY and MOTS to BE. BE had uninteresting chord progressions and less interesting rap flows as compared to those other 2 albums. imo

its the same energy i get from kpop stans nowadays who debate on whether or not a group already flopped 4 months after debut, or a group having 1 comeback they dont like and claim the group got ruined lmao. so dramatic, very funny.

@@ajlee2168 loool so true, kpoppies have no chill

I would say hots is a mix between jitb and hope world. its all still Hoseok but expanding and building on his previous styles/tracks he has done while always trying something new and growing as an artist. I couldn't be more proud of him side note fjfjdkdk I've been watching the tv show Pose before hots got released and i gotta say a lot of the tracks on it would fit right in into late 80/early 90s or just in the shows soundtrack in general 😭😭🫶 this "connection" if u will made me so happy for some reason

@@user-vv7hc7kb5o yup, that’s the thing. I think I’m just not ready for the new sound yet. Could be coz I’m rather accustomed to hip-hop sounds being closer to the grunge of ‘More’ & ‘Arson’ than ‘on the street’. For reference, one of my fav rock bands is an indie alternative band called ‘Against the Current’. Hopefully the brain will come around to HotS in time. 😅 Glad you enjoyed it though. 😊

@@thatfilmydesaikid and that's totally fine friend. You'll probably come around to hots later on after it sits with you for a bit. like if you're not accustomed to listening to the type of music Hoseok's going for in hots then it would catch you off guard. I think it's also important to note that hots the album AND documentary also go hand in hand (and album is vol.1 which means he wants to do more of it in the future possibly exploring other dance styles alongside the music). So you should give it a watch if you haven't already, there's 2 episodes out as of now. Hiphop being such a wide genre is so amazing because we can get so many different sounds from rapline, even just one of them in this case Hobi. He can do More, arson, what if, Pandora's box etc but he can also do daydream, I wonder, I don't know, equal sign etc. It's still so mind-blowing to me how versatile they are. Oh I'll look that band up for sure (their name sounds so familiar to me tho. I wonder if I'm not confusing them with another band😭). I love finding new music in such an accidental way. Hope you have a great day 😊

Thank you for sticking by them for so long and accepting their artistic evolution.

love when i come across 2013 army like it just makes me so happy 🥺🥹🥹🫂

That's why Bey and BTS are one of the best in the game like they're constantly reinventing themselves, they aren't afraid of growth and trying something new. This is why their music is so loved, celebrated and just timeless. I want for the tannies the type of longevity Beyonce, Coldplay and some other artists have. The tannies r gonna be celebrating their 11 year anniversary and I hope we will be celebrating their 30 anniversary with them still going strong doing what they love, making music, being on stage. Like i would love nothing more for them and with what they've been saying, with them getting their military service out of the way so close together (they could have dragg it out but they didn't) it looks like they also want the same🥺🥹

It's not just Blackpink.... the problem is that Korean music labels try so hard to push their signature into their group... Bigbang, 2ne1, Blackpink, babymonster all sound the same with YG's music, SM too... While BTS has the freedom to do their own music... If they move to another label its barely affect them because it's their own music choices, not their label/Bighit music.

It’s just the forced hate train tbh those ppl who push the narrative of “I miss their old sound” actually don’t “miss” them but they just start following 26172617 other Kpop groups and get shady towards BTS… impatient fans in conclusion, who get turned on when an artist comes up with something diff

Popcorn machine😂😂😂

I have seen the same thing since ive been an army for many years so i strongly agree like damn some of yall (the yall could be anyone from kpoppies, to antis, to ex army, even some army) can never be happy and always need to place these high expectations on the tannies that r simply not realistic nor are they placed on anyone else. Either that or people r being so xenophobic and racist they don't even notice it and because its said about bts so it must be okay, totally normal and normalized saying sht like "bts r sellouts", "they forgot their roots", "they're westernized" and some vile inhumane stuff im not gonna repeat here because it makes my blood boil....

I’ve been an ARMY since 2015 and over the years it felt like I was growing up with them since I was a teen when I started getting hooked on their songs 💜 The changes were beautiful and so was the journey!

@@Sisima13 same🫂💜💜

What you said is so on point ! Because of BTS I have listened to a wide variety of genres and even though i dont like some of them at first, as I go through my life and face challenges, more and more of their songs resonate with me even more. An artist with such a relatable music that crosses languages and barriers is very precious to me (me being an indian only listen to Indian songs and few western songs). BTS is an exception and I found them during covid times which has helped me tremendously...I am eagerly waiting for them to reunite. Can't wait for Jin's album !!!

Ig the point is, it’s annoying when so called “fans” won’t let their favorite artist evolve.

@@user-oq5xl6hp5w yeah

I’ve noticed that same thing as just a casual listener of her. There’s a reason why she still has a thriving career and keeps breaking records almost 30 years into her career. If she didn’t adapt with the times/take experimental risks, she wouldn’t have progressed this much. It’s giving a bit of crab mentality to me.

Well said!

Agree 💯 BTS album after military will be something new and fresh for sure. Also I can't wait for Namjoon's new album. RM, Mono and Indigo are so different and I love every one of them. I'm super curious what he did with this new album.

It's so wild they say stuff like that out loud and still get mad when others say their favs music all sounds the same 😂😂

@@monimuppet6132 It's one of the biggest contradictions the kpoppies use. I listen to Koppies and think are you really that stupid that you don't realised you've just contradicted yourself.

This is why some kpop stans would never not be weirdos to me..... because yall rly are stans of companies, of a music label basically, and listen to the same sht rinse and repeat from groups who r just clones of each other. who dont offer something new, different and interesting like whoaaaaaa. yall rly live like that fr fr??!!?

Exactly. Main problem of these people. They think their own taste is definition of good music.

It's the reason I don't like kpop but I do like BTS.

They will bring it back to the group that's part of who they are. They see solo work as Artist Development which then goes into the 'Pot' that is BTS the group rather than BTS the solo artists.
