@AboutMusicYT and hyyh was born. the rest is history.

If we are talking about achievements, accomplishments, records and sales it’s BTS, but if we are talking about lyricism, impact, influence, production, stage presence, artistry, creativity and skills, it’s still BTS.

Estoy así leyendo las traducciones de lo que habla nam

Dear Namjoon, there will always be a place for people who write poetry into music. Yes, fewer people read today, but that does not mean the power of words is dying away. Poetry withstands the test of time, and we really need people like you to write the words of our time.

thinking about this vmin hug

“Normal is a sad song” Yes it is. Rapline’s verses especially broke me the first time I heard them. And the way their verses directly reflect their roles and the mantles they’ve adopted as RM, SUGA and j-hope of BTS. Hobi. The man who has literal hope in his name. Who became the embodiment of hope and light to so many. The one deemed the happy one. The one everyone looks to when they’re down. The man who felt like he couldn’t show show hi struggles and fears and worries because he’s always had to be the positive one. The easy going one. The man who even during times where he was not ok, would smile, square his shoulders and say, yea I’m okay I’m your hope after all. He sings, “How am I supposed to feel? Used to think I was built with a heart made of steel. Now I understand the truth, some pain don’t heal. If everything’s just happy, that ain’t real.” Yoongi. The man who has openly admitted that mundane things like going to the movies are what he cherishes most. The one who cried when he realised how big bts was becoming and what it meant for them. The man who people went after because of his vulnerability. The man who has openly spoken about his mental health struggles. The man who had to compartmentalise his identities to make sense of his journey, his anger, his frustrations. The man who over the years has come to accept that this was what he chose. His normal. He sings, “I breathe everything out like a thousand times. Normal and special, they are just some lines. One deep sigh, then it slips away, fades away. What I try to keep never want to stay.” And then— Namjoon. The leader of BTS. The literal front line of his team. The man who has carried all of this for over a decade. The man whose words are constantly taken, kneaded, broken down, twisted, reimagined. The man who is criticised twice as hard because of who he is, the team he’s part of and the company he’s from. The man who at some point lost his true self in all the varied versions of himself that he had to become to satisfy every party. Versions that haunted him. He sings, “Run away, pushin me, pullin me. Said you wanted all of me but what is even all of me? Suddenly, part of me is haunting me. Heard the things they callin me, what the hell you want from me?” So yes. A hundred times yes. Normal is a very very sad song.

loving bts never felt one-sided

“but what will happen if bangtan sonyeondan rises?” in vegas after sweeping at the amas is so iconic btw

🐨 Personally, I still believe in the powder of lyrics 🐨 As someone who was saved by an artist's words and melody... 🐨 While doing solo works I think I learned how to share a story through just music, without having to write it out in words

@eternalhyyh he’s honestly so intellectually gifted music really does have the power to transcend language barriers 💯

“Recuerdo la manera en que Jungkook lloró cuando decidí que iba a dejar el grupo, él me abrazó pidiéndome que no me fuera”.

listening to namjoon talk wishing i could understand what he’s saying in his own words in real time. i think this is another level of frustration

attack on bangtan playing after they win artist of the year after a 4 year hiatus.. that’s exactly what happens when bangtan seonyeondan rises btw

@jkyoongs @florachora bro has been carrying the weight of the world since the ripe age of 18 like free my man

clocking in to namjoon's live to him talking about the pressure they face and how everything he says gets misconstrued and how hes not even sure if he should talk about arirang girl im sick to my stomach take this pressure off him bro

“I just want to say that I’m always grateful, and I truly love you.”😭💜 🐨: That’s why I deliberately take the time — even spending an hour like this — to talk to all of you. And I believe the fact that as many as 3.7 million of you came to watch this live means that this struggle of mine is meaningful. 🐨: It’s because you love us. And I hope this album helps you understand my decisions, my lyrics, and my inner self. 🐨: Anyway, I’ll stop here for now. We have another performance tomorrow, so I feel like I’m going to lose my voice. Thank you for watching. I’ll keep reminding myself what truly matters and what I’m doing. 🐨: I just want to say that I’m always grateful, and I truly love you. 🐨: I’ll be going now. Tomorrow is the last day. Bye.

arirang is a miracle for bts..them getting discharged, getting to make this album and being able to go on tour together as a group safely .. this means the world to them and us

body to body was meant to be sexual? no wayyy

one of my biggest regrets in life is not locking in and learning korean from the age of 15 because i’d give anything to be able to fully comprehend everything joon says when he’s describing the creative process behind his work

agora vamos ao que interessa: eu não consegui ingresso pro show, não consegui ingresso do swimside então eu peço para que deixem pelo menos um pacote de biscoito oreo bts pra mim por gentileza

anytime one of you speak for bts like you know them personally i remember this

Namjoon about Normal 🐨: Normal is a very sad song. I wrote the lyrics in Korean and then changed it to English for radio and stuff, but yeah, there is a Korean version of Normal. The guys have even recorded the Korean version. Idk if it will ever be out tho. Anyways, kerosene is oil that lights the bulbs. One day you love me, one day you say you hate me fine make me bulletproof, so that I won't die even if you shoot me. There was this keyword of Normal. But what is normal for us? As we live as BTS what is the normal for me? Someday ppl tell me that they love me and the other day they tell me to get lost just like a very toxic couple. Ppl put us high 1000 times and pull down 1000 times too. "Two sides of a coin and they both ain't true" Both sides aren't true. Why? Coz both sides are true and both sides are fake at the same time. There's no one who can explain this team called BTS. "Wish I had a min just to turn me off" Fine this is the life that I've chosen and all mistakes are mine but I can think about having a min of shutting off from the ppl. This doesn't mean that I wanna give up on my life but I can hope for ppl to forget me for a moment. I think that's the feeling behind writing this lyrics. Now that I see this song is really sad too. "Fantasy and fame yeah the things we choose" We're accepting that we've chosen this fame. When we sing this song on stage we sing it as a happy song coz we're singing it together, coz this is the other side of the coin.
