  1. ugh why is the award thread always locked when im online. I can't look at the current state of my badges anymore
  2. The billboard interview was very insightful, just a great read in general. I hope we'll get a sit down, introspective interview with all 7 of them talking in equal measure in the near future. Everyone that has come into direct contact with bts is always so smitten & genuinely fond of them and it's not difficult to see why given that they approach strangers with absolute sincerity. The interview explicitly mentioning that bts is noticeably more astute and cultured in their own country is a nice touch. I think it's important to remember that Joon & Yoongi are inherently two very different people at their core. The way they view and interpret the world is always going to vary. One only has to spare some time and look at their music & lyrics! As a person, Joon is inherently deeply introspective, idyllic and poetic. Look at his lyrics, he has a strong preference for metaphors, abstract language...leaving things up to interpretation. Yoongi has an affinity for penning lyrics that are arresting, salient, guileless and sincere. Their differences gives us a beautiful balance in their lyrics. Yoongi's forthrightness is incredibly reassuring and this entire interview made me fall in love with him all over again. I'm not going to sit by people ignorantly disregarding the fact that as the leader of the group, RM carries a huge burden in representing the group as their main spokesperson. The leadership puts a limitation that's exclusive to him. It's understandable why he's cautious, particularly about sensitive issues. His words has been misconstrued in the past & used maliciously against him, a little more understanding from the fandom would be nice. Joon being more implicit does not negate all that he has done in the past and this 1 small verse does not represent his entire standing on such a huge topic. He's been frank about his standing on love equality in multiple places. It's so unfair for people to purposely criticize and even go as far as to demonise him...and the same people are shocked he isn't more outspoken?? Jk was bashed for covering Breath...can you blame them for being elusive? We know how progressive Monie is, have some faith in him. Yoongi & RM basically said the same thing, separated by their linguistic preferences. This interview is hefty, so much to dissect...i'll be back
  3. I hope bts tweets themselves lounging around in seoul. Gaon couldn't conjure up a creative vcr last year and caused bts to be bashed endlessly by a decade old fandom & cohorts. Fast forward a year and they didn't celebrate bts' record breaking achievements?? Not even a proper congratulations...will the boys even receive the physical awards at this stage... So disrespectful. Looking forward to gaon calling this a technical issue or some shit to excuse this petty behaviour.
  4. I like how everyone forgot about DNA but queen came back swinging "hoe you thought". Oh, I'm forever laughing at bts proving all naysayers wrong. Eshy... BTS RUN TOMOROWWWWW
  5. ...i don't see why yall have to nitpick my words when i didn't intend to downgrade ikon's past achievements. Just merely wanted to point out that LS might be actually lead yg to be a bit nice to ikon & gift them new mics. Thats all
  6. If yg was a sensible boss then they'd already have customized mics to use when they were touring extensively but since he only rewards success then LS should be a good enough reason...i hope
  7. Ikon doesn't have customized mics right? If they don't then with LS's success, yg would probably gift them it in due time ðŸ˜
  8. They deserve the extended break. They really haven't had the chance to fully rest & recuperate since September. You know what bts is like, when they go hard, they push until their body breaks, being sufficiently rested until whatever crazy plan is a good idea. This extension probably signals that the rest of 2018 is hectic af. We're getting hixtape & possible collabs during this hiatus of sorts. It feels like a down time for us but they'll be producing music, practicing, touring etc. So, late April~May cb then perhaps a 5-6 months break until a new cb in oct/nov. Sounds good to me.
  9. while we're all losing it bit by bit, just imagine how restless & stressed this sunshine is? This mixtape is taking Hobi forever to release but he has good reasons for it- it's his first endeavor as a solo artist and rapper; he's a perfectionist so it's in his nature to be cautious. We've seen what Yoongi & Namjoon's mixtapes did for them, it was an emotional outlet, where they were able to reconcile with their identities as idols and rappers. The members have always said that the real Hoseok is quite different to his idol persona, he's a lot more serious and poignant. He created Mang and we've seen how Mang wears a mask, as happy as the entire bt21 project is, I can't help but sense that Mang is pretty reflective of who Hobi is on the inside. I hope Hobi will share his dreams, fears, struggles, pain and glimpses of his past; let us fans peak into his mind a little and get to know him better as a person. I'd feel very blessed as a fan if reveals his vulnerability through the mixtape. Over the years, we've seen members like Jin completely forgo his cool guy image and just comfortably be himself; Yoongi & Namjoon was a whole lot happier after releasing their emotional burdens through their respective mixtapes and if Hobi can release all that emotional burdens & weight off his shoulders, I'd be really happy for him. AND I know we're all dying for hixtape but I want to see BH pull all the stops to support him, y'know, multiple high class teasers & music videos; WHAT IF JHOPE DANCES FOR THE MAIN TRACKS or SINGS?
  10. I know it's common sense but having music (lyrics) that resonate with your targeted & potential listeners is crucial and thankfully, it's something bts & their team of producers is fully aware of. Spring Day's lyrics are incredibly beautiful & sentimental, Koreans love it which shows in it's longevity. Ifans dismiss lyrical content for obvious reasons and lyrics aren't often the trending topic of discussion on forums & boards but as seen in SD, Really x2 & Love Scenario's success...lyrics are key. All 3 songs are relate-able, they're not necessarily ground breaking, but it's sth anyone can relate to and reminisce on. yeah, I did not like that they had to make all 3 share a verse to accommodate Desiigner, which is why I'll always prefer the original over the remix. Like you, I hope bts has had their fun with EDM and progress onto experimental hip hop/ psychedelic hip hop. 2 albums I've been listening to- EH's Remapping the Human Soul & Cunninlynguists' A Piece of Strange- it's the kind of sound I'd love for bts to try. BTS' rap line is a vital core and soul to the group- having their music be more rap heavy will always be a good thing. The guys are always experimenting and trying to find a balance for all the members, I'm excited for their new stuff. BTS first official sub unit should definitely be a rap line album- I want to be able to pay for their music to show my appreciation & love. lol
  11. this in between cb hiatus is starting to feel real but then my ass finds these 2 bombs I've never seen before I don't even know how I managed to miss these
  12. I want an ot7 vlog. Just them chilling in their practice clothes and reminiscing about life, the past years, funny dorm life, their quirks...album production... I miss them so much already. Would be nice if all 7 of them go mountain climbing and make a bomb for it.
  13. Chan has that Daniel reversal vibes in him- he's chummy with everyone, positive, overwhelming "puppy" charms; not to mention that he's a talent powerhouse- boy's got solid vocals, is a really good dancer and a strong, versatile performer. Noona fans are going to love him. He's hard carrying the vocal line so he's going to get a lot of shine. In the end, it's not a tragic lineup... imbalanced but workable. You don't need power vocals to have good music...their problem is that they don't have much vocals but they can make do. Shame though, you could have had Jeup. Euna kim...
  14. Tragic how all the best singers are at the bottom of the ranking for the boys, The U is a mess. But, Kang Yoochan is a solid main vocal and is the saving grace of this lineup, at least he'll get a lot of lines. Can't wait for people to open their ears & eyes to him like they way people did for p101's Sungwoon. I'm honestly completely apprehensive of 3 ACE members making it into the final m9 & the unit groups. What's going to happen to ACE then for the next year? they're competing with all of big dogs of the industry as well as the new bgs the big 3 are pushing out this year, they can't afford being inactive. This is not p101, I don't see the benefits of making the top 9... Beat Interactive better have plans for them, even if they have limited finance- they need to utilize social media and push themselves out there. I'm not here for this amazing group falling into the abyss of nugudom.
  15. I knew ACE would thrive wherever they go since all 5 are strong all-rounders. Chan is the saving grace of this bg's vocal line. I'm feeling very mixed about all 3 ace members successfully making into the final groups of m9 & the unit- happy but apprehensive. No Chan for 7 months with the rest of ACE?? lets hope it's worth it in the end because honestly, I'm not getting the feeling that this group is doing anyone any favours. I feel so bad for Seyong, he's talented but he's been struggling to make it since 2011. Boy deserves better.
  16. Idk whats going on but im here for bts bagging artits of the year
  17. Hixtape is going to mark Hobi's first solo endeavour and I'm going to need BH and this entire fandom to go all out & support this precious soul. You can tell he's putting his heart, soul & everything into this. JUNG HOSEOK DESERVES THE WORLD Idk if we can take his HOTS as hints that he'll dance for the main track but i'd be a gift to the world if he does. The house dancing looks so tricky. Ugh his huge smile lights up my soul!! I want an oscar winning mv for him too btw Yall, Joonie & Hobi are my official bias wreckers. I've decided to forgo bias lists ages ago but 94 bros are just irresistible Lol i'm picturing the scenario in my head, i can't stop laughing. Bts is so cute
  18. Forever pissed over gaon withholding weekly & monthly numbers. It would have been great to see how much dls & streams LS garnered, also would have been nice to see how they measure against the other bgs.
  19. Honestly so bummed by gaon's decision to withhold monthly numbers. Gaon should aspire to be completely transparent with their data, this is only going to trigger more speculation over the digital performance of idols by the end of 2018. Such a shame we won't be able to accurately account for & celebrate dna & spring day's 1m dls & 100m streams when the time comes. Hopefully they'll revoke this decision by the time they release half year charts
  20. lol. OT I've been pondering a bit about their cb & I believe we're in a for a huge whiplash especially concept wise, for the next album. The juxtaposition between Serendipity & DNA is unsettling; everything about Serendipity was surreal, soft & sincere, natural...it left your mind in a trance; DNA felt deliberately artifical in its presentation of fate & love, the heavily saturated colour palette and box set...feels like its setting itself up for something darker in tone.
  21. Run was sooo good. The games were so Korean & nostalgic!!! All those memories of stanning 2nd gen groups came flooding back. Awww i love them so much! Dead at kookie donating his pc ahaha, he's probably getting a new one Jin!!! Our new national mc in the making. He's an absolute delight & wonder! They're so loud omg
  22. Look at KMA, the Korean grammys respecting king DNA!!!! They're nominated for 2/3 grand awards /daesangs. Folks, this is monumental. I can't breathe
  23. I love Love Scenario's vibe! If someone sings LS to me, I'd marry them in a heartbeat. Along with the lyrics, it's just a really chill & gorgeous song to bop to. No wonder Korea is obsessed with it.
  24. I'm thinking it'll be march-apr for 1st cb & sept-oct for the 2nd. Just 6/7 months between, on the cusp of award season.
