#BTS #방탄소년단 @BTS_twt

Son Sung-deuk:
(They haven't been able to perform 'ON' because of the pandemic. Gathering dancers for the dance harmony would be hard, and they want to present a perfect stage. The members are frustrated that they can't perform this song...

(and they still have to decide on stages for year-end music shows. It's been a source of stress for the members and himself. )

"What worries me most in this COVID situation is the mebers' morale. BTS always said that communicating with the audience is an important experience for them when performing on stage.'

The review- [Why is 'Dynamite' Amazing?] is only available in Korean.

The day Jin played the piano on youtube was meant to be the NJ MetLife stop. He wanted to do something for the fans, so went to Youtube.
He was worried that people would belittle him for not being able to play the piano even as a singer, but was surprised that people enjoyed it.

RM-

"There's a saying 'if you take away a brush from a painter, it's like taking his soul.' I don't think of myself as such a noble artist, but COVID-19 made me realize that there is little for me to do except work."

Kim Su-Lin, LP of BH Three Sixty's Artist Content Studio-

"The interruption caused by the outbreak can easily make both fans and artists feel powerless. That is why BTS followed trends like making Dalgona coffee on VLIVE to show that their daily lives are not that different."

JK-

"What gives me the strength to perform is the cheers. Cheers. That cheer gives me the strength to go even harder and sing even when I get a cramp on stage."

On "Still with you"-

"It means that if the rain is coronavirus, I will go to our fans even if the rain pours down.
Even if I dance alone the rain still pours. When this fog is lifted, I'll run with my wet feet." https://soundcloud.com/bangtan/thankyouarmy2020

Team Leader of Big Hit Three Sixty Concert Production Team, Ha Jung-Jae, on the 2000 ARMY bombs in Bang Bang Con: The Live-

"We wondered how we could fill in the empty seats and had an idea, remembering BTS being surrounded by ARMY Bombs. We hoped ARMY would be satisfied..

@OneInAnARMY on matching BTS' BLM donation-

"Our team usually takes about a month to set up a regular campaign, but considering the urgency of the situation, we decided to launch a 'crisis carrd' containing a list of vetted organizations ARMY could support...

"Compared to our monthly campaigns, the "carrd" had already received a massive response from ARMY before BTS's tweet and donation. After.. the #MatchAMillion campaign was organized, and the rate of response increased astronomically. ARMY were the leaders of the whole campaign!

We can also see discrimination against Asian people, accusing them of being the cause of the "corona infection", based on the suspicion of the outbreak's origin.

Howard Stern claimed when BTS visited SiriusXM on Feb21, their writer Sal Governale said "There's no way those guys don't have the coronavirus."
Howard accused him of being racist and producer Gary Dell'Abate weighed in by saying "Every celebrity who walks through the..

SiriusXM door is travelling all over the world- not just Asians."

In the world we are living, even BTS can be the victim of racism.

But still, there are people out there who are trying to make a positive impact on those who are watching RUN! BTS somewhere in this world or..

on those with different identities. Donations to help with COVID-19 as well as natural disasters, diseases, education, economic disparity, human rights, animal welfare, and social infrastructure. This is the list of areas where ARMY donated after the virus swept the world.

@OneInAnARMY -

"The scary desert became the ocean with our blood, sweat and tears.
Although the impact of an individual might be small, if we work together 'the harshest desert would turn into an ocean' just like the lyrics from BTS 'Sea'.

With no guarantee that we can go back to the pre-pandemic time, it might be too optimsitic to hope that a better future will unfold. It would be easier if we just build a wall between others, blame each other, or simply mind our own safety.

Yet, ARMY, a huge fandom with different identites connected by BTS, is trying to make the world a better place. the act of sharing daily lives formed a united community.

J-HOPE on life before COVID-19-

"I was burned out because of the many performances. But still, I miss the past. I saw a compilation of work we had done last year and realized that we worked a lot. We went overseas and performed in stadiums,

but now we are spending this year just like this."

We don't know when we can return to the good old days that j-hope misses. But until then, we can rely on each other, keep our daily lives going, and dance with hope in this dreadful and desperate reality.

Releasing 'Dynamite' was possible because of the daily-life-connection between BTS and ARMY.
they released "dynamite" to lift the spirits of their fans who were undergoing a difficult time.
Delivering the news of the new single through KKUL FM was a small joy to share.

HoneyFM <JiJinJung's R.A.D.I.O> #BigAnnouncement https://www.vlive.tv/video/204818 

To those who are not BTS or ARMY, "Dynamite' would just be a song that hit NO.1 on the BB100 for two weeks in a row. But for ARMY, it is evidence of how e endured the dark night, a night that no one knows when the dawn will break.

SUGA on KKUL FM-

"I thought, 'If I will never be able to perform on stage again, then what would my life be?' I had to do something, and that is why I started KKUL FM. At first, I planned on doing it once or twice, but I personally enjoyed doing radio and our fans liked it,

so it turned out to be a weekly episode. The last episode was especially meaningful that I got emotional."

The new album will mark another part of the progession of history.

V, on visuals of this album-

"In this album, we tried to keep everything natural, like the real PJM, or the real KNJ. I thought it would be difficult becaue it's my first time being a visual manager for our..

album, but our staffs helped me a lot, my opinions on scheduling and conceptualization were all accepted, and I'm happy because our members all liked it."

Jimin on the new album production process-

"While recording, I was able to solely focus on the song I was singing and the emotions I felt. Because I knew how the song was made from the beginning, I focused on that part and recorded with my emotions. I felt comfortable."

#StayConnected #CarryOn

BH ENT A&R Team Leader Kim Hyun-Jung on the concept of "self-produced album"-

"It's like moving to the next level for the artist after seven years of their debut and somewhat it's a natural step to take.
I was impressed to see all members, not just the usual members,

participating in songwriting with passion."

Jimin-

"Work is what makes us happier than anything else and it is when we can truly be ourselves."

(I believe the last part should be read by ourselves. until the moment dawn breaks again.)

And that's the end of the thread. Wasn't meant to be one. Apologies for any inaccuracies or typos, and certain liberties that I took when paraphrasing to fit the word limit.
