“it’s not easy to meet friends who are like family” 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

ARE WE GETTING BTS NETFLIX ICONS??????

According to BTS members "SWIM" is the most minimal track in the album, its not a song that instantly grabs your attention but it has a long lasting impact and grows on you. They tried to create a song better than SWIM as a title track for a month but SWIM just felt the most natural. Its simple yet appealing

🐱: “For this time, I wanted to capture a deeper and more mature perspective. In the past, I used to push myself hard to work until a good song came out, but this time, instead of driving myself like before, I tried to approach the music with a sense of calm and leisure. Since we made it in a fun and enjoyable way, I hope that feeling naturally reaches the fans as well."

[📰 𝐍𝐄𝐖𝐒] Press Media Q&A with #BTS. Q1. How do you feel about your comeback after 3 years and 9 months? Group: We are excited and nervous, but above all, we are overwhelmed with emotion. We are happy and grateful just for the fact that the seven of us can gather and do something together after such a long time. We have returned with amazing preparations, just as much as ARMY has waited for us for so long. The very fact that we can show you our best selves again is a source of great emotion and happiness. Since it is our first group album in a long while, there is as much fear as excitement, but we have no major worries because the members and ARMY are with us. Q2. What is the main message you want to convey with this album? #SUGA: We pondered what is most like us. Rather than a grand message, we focused on 'us' itself. #Jimin: I wanted to say that we are constantly moving forward. There is always the pressure to show a new and better side of ourselves. There are also countless concerns. Nevertheless, we wanted to express the mindset that we will not stop and will continue to swim forward. #Jungkook : We hope you will think that the most BTS-esque album has been released, as it fully captures each individual's time and color. Q3. How were the 'Korean elements' included in the album decided? #RM: First, we threw out various ideas that came to mind. During the songwriting sessions, we even created a song based on Taekwondo. It didn't make the final album, but I personally liked it quite a bit. I believe Korean elements are an important keyword that can bind the seven of us together. This is because they are connected to where we started, our roots. What constitutes "Korean" is constantly being redefined and changing. I think it would be interesting if we could become part of that flow. #Jin/#Suga: The album logo originated from Jungkook's idea. The current album concept was established as the members' opinions were added from various angles, and since all of us are Korean, there was also a suggestion that we should naturally incorporate Korean elements. #JHope : We also infused the excitement and culture of Korea into the lyrics of the new album. We tried to create more 'points where the seven of us can be together' in various aspects. I believe that returning and showing ourselves as we are ultimately means starting from our roots. I believe we are who we are today because those roots were solid together. #V : All the members contributed a lot of ideas and thought deeply about how to incorporate our individual personalities. I think ARMYs will also enjoy the fun of spotting them one by one. (m.entertain.naver.com/now/article/60…) #BTS_ARIRANG BTS IS COMING

Listen to me friends. Don’t get bogged down with rules. Stream like a human. Stream how it makes you happy. Just don’t loop, and be human. That’s how we achieve success. Take a deep breath. Let’s have the best time and make this album drop the best ever!

Messages from members will be played at random times over the next seven hours on BTS radio. Let’s gooooooo apple.co/AM1

🐰: “I really wanted to come back and start promoting again as soon as possible, and now it finally feels like a real comeback. The music we’ve brought this time might feel a bit different from our previous works. We’ve tried a lot of new things and put a lot of thought and preparation into showing a more mature side, both musically and in our performances. We prepared hard so that ARMYs can feel proud, so please look forward to it!"

The world will be watching!!! BTS THE COMEBACK LIVE | ARIRANG March 21 8pm KST / 4am PT LIVE worldwide exclusively on Netflix #BTSLiveonNetflix #BTS_ARIRANG

And I'm saying it again. They're pushing Apple Music for a reason, u better stream as much as u can on AM

armys, are we all collectively having stomach issues or is it just me?

for those of you new or that need a reminder: it’s ok to not catch everything live. it’s simply not possible or sustainable and it’s def not what bts would want. please live your lives and also sleep. remember they’ll always be here for you when you have the time to give to them.

ARMY! set your reminder for SWIM 🚢 #BTS #BTS_ARIRANG #BTS_SWIM yt.be/uHRkU
