  1. Youngdae Kim (KMA committee member) did an entire episode on BTS and their music 4 days ago. If anyone finds translations then please update us all. The thought of scoring a KMA nomination might still be farfetched but it's already pretty amazing that they're getting noticed and a committee member is finding them worthwhile to do a little feature on. Fingers crossed for a nomination next year!
  2. have some sope to break up the wall of text 2 cents on this discussion on r/bangtan. It's incredibly perceptive and revealing of the Korean music industry. Koreans distinctively draws a separation between Korean music and idol music, because Koreans tends to share the opinion that it lacks "soul" or something that is distinctively Korean. So, idol music tends to lack a Korean essence/soul/han. IU's music captures this really well and it's safe to say she's on every Korean's playlist. The stigma against idol music is very unfair but I suppose Koreans are looking for music that when stripped down to its bare notes, emotes "han"/soul. Back to BTS, even though BTS draws a lot of musical influence from Western trends, they've always managed to keep their essence very much Korean. Their production team is composed of Bang PD, Pdogg, Slow Rabbit, Supreme Boi, B1 Monster and the boys themselves, other than the few choreographers that were out-sourced like Keone Madrid...their entire team is composed of Koreans. Idols that hail from the countryside or have satooris, mask it in favour of the Seoul dialect...BTS has "Paldogangsan"- embracing that side of them. HYYH is about 청춘 (Muish) aka chungchoon: "This is the age you make your mistakes, suffer the consequences on your own, and struggle in the adult world. It is the age where you still dream of ideals, and where failures and struggles are not meaningless as it shapes your character. I guess it’s when your loves/failures/successes are more vivid, and make this time more beautiful as well as more painful." HYYH deeply reflects what OP refers to as han. Spring Day wasn't just public friendly in sound, it truly resonated with Koreans on a deeper, lyrical level, which in turn contributed massively to it's success and longevity. As for the question "are bts kpop or not"...obviously they are, rap line had an identity crisis in the past but they've embraced the fact that they are idols and have also said that they won't let stigmas and genres limit them. I'm sure they're ecstatic that they're breaking molds and that people are genuinely opening up to their music and respect them as artists. I'm so proud of them. Can't wait until LY:? & Hixtape!
  3. Click here to view the Tweet These kind of things are so generic, it can be applied to anyone and with a bit of personal tailoring, it can be bothersome if you take the words to heart. Since bts is getting so popular, a bit of cautionary advice to the boys going into 2018 is a good thing. Approaching people with an open heart is lovely but the entertainment industry is so full of corrupted personalities, it's a valuable life skill to be able to discern real concern from fake. It wasn't the nicest card but bts have been in the industry for so long, they can stomach these hard truths or they'll learn to. Life can be tumultuous but life is in their hand.
  4. I watched the season greetings and touched about it briefly a few pages back but Tae's fortune was ominous and kind of negative and it did seem like it was visibly bothering him as he was out of it for a few minutes afterwards and kept reading the card repeatedly but Joon did sweep in to comfort him like the great leader he is. After all, these things are done for fun and is not scientific or real. After all, if Tae is still bothered by it in time then I'm sure the rest of bts will be there to relieve his worries and chat like they always do.
  5. OT CB talk ggak ggak ggak "earthshakeningly loud" - so typical of bts BTS is very loud to start with but with the adrenaline and ringing ears post concert...they're so chaotic And ofc they're no matter how loud they are, they're super polite, sweet baes Holy mother of goooood, NAMJOOON!
  6. I avoid twt like the plague other than to catch bts' updates but sometimes, I just I genuinely love listening to everyone I listed so even if it's a collab on the rapline's mixtapes, I'll be more than satisfied. But now that you mention markets, collabs/osts will boost their individual popularity if the song becomes a hit and it'll broaden their networks for the future. With Wine, Suran gained a lot of fans and casual listeners, the potential mutual benefits will be crazy.
  7. Eshy's tweet sounds ominous and is inducing more anxiety than excitement tbh Nothing is more rousing than Hixtape though...hobi is taking forever which makes this as career defining as RM & Suga's mixtapes As exciting as all these potential multi-cultural collabs are...I wish they'll look close and do more collabs with local artists. It's a good way to start building foundation for solo advancements in the future and the learning opportunity is huge for the boys. Epik High / Tablo IU Crush Punch Zico Dean Geeks BB4 Heize Hyukoh Humming Urban Stereo Moonmoon (was it RM or JK that recommended his music?) Sam Kim Taru The Black Skirts Hopefully 2018 will bring us more Korean collabs
  8. After seeing the state of their closets in the their old dorm, moving must be a fucking nightmare for the guys They're probably living in a villa so they'll all have their own rooms hence sufficient privacy yet still live together therefore keeping the bond alive and strong. Joon is quickly becoming one the most regarded people in my life, humans shouldn't chase after perfection but growth and he's the living embodiment of it. Sometimes I think the role of a leader is vastly underappreciated by fans, the leader is basically the group's north star, his mentality greatly affects the members. I'm well aware that all the members are very humble and grounded but I honestly think Namjoon is their gravity. He just has this magical pull to him. if it were possible, I'd have his entire speech compressed into my sig.
  9. I legit thought of Voldemort the moment I saw this because Yoongi's half invisible body.
  10. The only thing that mattered today was Jungkook's adorable sleeping habits. I died 50 times watching him and the hyungs lowkey smitten by him. Yoongi was super hyper and funny lol, he really enjoys mcing. He could be a really good radio dj in the future as some side gig I have a new fave ep every week loool
  11. **LONG** I can feel the tangles in my chest so I'm just spilling my guts about bts Bang PD's interview today at the PC is very timely. Whether it was to squash the endless questions in regards to English music and American advancements or to end the worries of fans that were worried that their previous stance on all of this would change, I'm glad Bang pd has illustrated in point blank terms that they're still sticking to their roots. RM & Suga's stances on this was also very reassuring and it's really impressive how bts remains gracious and sensible through all this madness. - Artists are not created by somebody else. Once I'm called the father of BTS, BTS becomes a subject that I made- How can you not respect a man that chooses to not hoard all the credits of creating such a successful group even though he's the brainchild of BTS? He recognizes that the members are very much true artists and this kind of vision will ensure bts' longevity. The fancams and ending ments is murdering my tear ducts. I love bts sfm.
  12. any follow up on that Vogue (US?) BTS feature? BTS needs more fashion magazine features and photoshoots in 2018. Good and inspiring ones. We need more badge material.
  13. can you believe me? the very first thing that popped into my head when I saw this was a Shakespeare quote from R&J - “Did my heart love till now? forswear it, sight! For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night.†cr Born Hater fancams are going to ruin me. It's such a tearjerker.
  14. Idk if this was ever posted but i'm bawling To see them up close from this perspective is so damn emotional. I hope the gayos would be fun and we'll get GOGO stages, remixes, collabs and covers of old hits from classic Korean singers like mbc gayo.
  15. hi mods -have mods ever seriously considered getting rid of the +/- on the bashing thread so there can be a bit of regulation in place as you don't allow people to correct blatant lies or very inflammatory posts? It also promotes diversity in posts as well since everything there for the past year has been a rehash of the same thing. -I understand the purpose of the BT and why you don't allow for defending but I think some leeway should be permitted on the main forum as to correct things that can be libelous if taken seriously -Can you bar new users that have less than 50-100 posts from posting in the BT? so many are dupes that get away with it.
  16. mods were too fast but this took too much effort to write and I don't want to miss out lol
  17. One thing I find very cute is that Jungkook's love and adoration of IU over the years have come to be fully accepted by armys everywhere and most of us are very much in love with how JK's in love with IU. He can fanboy publicly and look completely in a trance, in a daze and no one would be mad because we either see IU's charm or we just love seeing JK so happy. It's so cute. I would love for them to be friends....or more
  18. Crystal Snow is so beautiful. The vocals!! I have a question for y'all, would you like bts to try and release multiple singles from an album before releasing the whole album given that its an extremely high quality album with very strong singles (like the western market) or do you prefer the way kpop does things? Do you think its beneficial or will it dampen hype & sales?
  19. YG and moronic decisions goes hand in hand. See, he doesn't give a rats ass about these contestants individually, he's not concerned about their future at all. His primary concern is to milk the trainees for all their worth in the few months they're tied to him. Touring is the best source of profit but on what ground does he think the winning team would have the capacity to tour 20-30 cities? lol, m9 is getting lukewarm response at best, this is not WIN or p101. Mess, i hope ace gets the exposure & love they deserve but don't make the cut for the final team. Its so fucked up how i want my faves to lose
  20. #28 on hot100! holy hell. To think that when yoongi revealed his top 50 goal a couple weeks go, it actually ruffled so many armys' feathers at r/bangtan and other platforms. Wild. Mic drop mama stage is becoming a new ritual at this point, i can't get over it
  21. The biggest problems with korean award shows is the fan voting criteria that should be abolished. Either be like KMAs and have a professional panel decide nominations & awards or have it limited to sales & a judge panel. But instead of whining at the boards, y'all insult and say the most disgraceful shit at the artist that wins as if that justifies anything. Even cuter when you try to pass shade off as an intelligent comment. Some folks are just blockheads, they're so fucking blindsided by hate and ignorance- they only know how to utter shit like "sajaegi, bots, factory sales, overproduced albums". How can someone be so fucking thick when its been explained to you in layman terms for months.
