BTS talking about being Honorary Ambassadors for Busan's bid for the 2030 World Expo.

 

 

 

It's good to see them all together, of course, and looking forward to their concert on behalf of the bid in October. Still, it seems that the guys don't really get much of a break since external forces keep trying to push them to use their platform. I bet the stock market drop when they said they were going on a hiatus probably scared them as well.

 

And, I'm also concerned as to how the military are going to protect the guys if they do end up serving. Especially after some of the stories coming out about how other idols have fared in the military. Not just other soldiers coming around to see them while they're showering (eww!), but also superior officers demanding that they make personal videos, mc their events, etc. That's just disgusting and outrageous. I guess at least the idols are too famous for the military to physically abuse them as we now know happens all too frequently in the military?

 

BTS are the biggest group in the world right now, with a lot of fans, but also seem to have a lot of anti-fans whether it's because they're from other fandoms or jealousy or whatever. It seems unfair given how the guys give tirelessly of themselves to causes that they believe in while still trying to maintain their creativity and an insane level of output. It's true that a lot of newer admirers may not recognize the individuals of the group as much as BTS as a group, but each member is becoming ever more famous in their own right.

 

I suppose all I can do is wish them the best regardless of what choices they make, and stay a loyal ARMY through their various endeavors. I can only thank them for being the comforting soundtrack of a particularly difficult period of my life, not just the happy songs, but also the darker and more reflective songs. It feels as if I can find a BTS song to suit my mood whatever I happen to be feeling.

Google Arts & Culture launched a special collaboration with K-pop juggernaut BTS to celebrate the birthday of the band’s official fandom, known as Army.

Dubbed “BTS x Street Galleries,” the exhibition aims to bring viewers and fans on a virtual tour of the iconic pop group’s favorite artworks and to celebrate the Army’s birthday, which falls on July 9.

The collaboration project takes fans on a street view tour of locations around the world chosen by the members. Each member has also organized a virtual gallery with works that reflect their stories.

J-Hope chose to curate a gallery at the United Nations headquarters in New York, where the septet became the first K-pop act to deliver a speech at the UN General Assembly and shoot a music video on-site last year. RM, who is known to be an aesthete, introduces Seoul’s Namdaemun, where the band performed for “Global Citizen Live” in 2021.

Group BTS J-Hope releases a solo album Jack In The Box.

 

J-Hope will release all songs from his solo album 'Jack In The Box' at 1 pm (Korea time) on the 15th. Like the title of the album, which refers to a toy that pops out when the box is opened, J-Hope contains a different aspect of himself and his ambition to show a better side in this album.

 

'Jack In The Box' includes 'Intro', 'Pandora's Box', 'MORE', 'STOP (There are no bad people in the world)', '= (Equal Sign)', 'Music Box: Reflection', 'What if. ..', 'Safety Zone', 'Future', and 'Arson' are included in a total of 10 songs, and from the first song to the last song, the storytelling with high perfection stands out. J-Hope not only worked on the idea of all songs, but also participated in the overall composition and planning of the album, including concept, design, and music video planning, giving the album his own color.

 

'Intro' and 'Pandora's Box', which reflect the background of 'J-Hope' and the planning intention of 'Jack In The Box', as well as the double title songs 'MORE' and 'Arson', which clearly reveal the album's core message ', etc., J-Hope proves his growth by putting honest, pure passion, and even the shadows behind it in this album, while continuing the essence of BTS, which has been proven through music.

I know I've mentioned this before, but I honestly have such mixed feelings about this.

 

Also, when are they going to resolve whether Jin is going to the military or be able to do special service?!

 

The stupid military don't even think that they can protect Jin or any of the guys from harassment. Honestly, they shouldn't kill their golden goose.

 

 

On a different note, j-hope's album is really, really different from the material he was doing for BTS. I'm not entirely certain of how much I like 'Jack in the Box'. I can honestly say that if it hadn't been dropped by j-hope, it wouldn't really be my cup of tea. But, I'm still cheering him (and the others) on in being able to express every part of themselves that they want to!

The band has been awarded at the MTV awards ceremony for the past three years. It won two titles in 2019 and took home four prizes in 2020. Last year, it won three trophies, including Group of the Year.

 

For the Best K-pop category, BTS' "Yet To Come (The Most Beautiful Moment)," the lead single from their first anthology album "Proof" (2022), will compete with five other Korean acts including ITZY, Lisa, Seventeen and TWICE.

BTS to hold concert next month to support Busan World Expo bid.

K-pop giant BTS will hold a concert for an audience of 100,000 in Busan in October, as part of its support for the port city's bid to host the World Expo 2030.

 

The group's agency Big Hit Music said Wednesday that the show, titled "BTS Yet to Come in Busan," will be held at a special concert venue to be set up near Busan's Ilgwang Beach, October, 15.

 

It will be the first time for the septet to hold a concert in Korea since the "BTS Permission to Dance on Stage ― Seoul" concert at the Olympic Stadium in Jamsil last March.

 

The special venue will accommodate about 100,000 audience members, and the show will also be broadcast live to a separate place ― the outdoor parking lot of the international passenger terminal at Busan Port ― where another 10,000 people will be able to gather.

 

The concert will also be live streaming on the fans community platform Weverse and the metaverse platform Zepeto.

 

Last month, the government appointed BTS members as public relations ambassadors for the port city's Expo bid. The members said at the time that they would try to not only help the city host the Expo but also promote Korea's nature and culture to people around the world.

 

The appointment of BTS as Expo bid ambassador was made about a month after the boy band announced that all seven members would halt activities as a group and instead focus on individual activities.

I didn't know who Crush was before, but all of a sudden, it seems that I'm hearing about him in a number of ways. @Tofu

 

Here is the MV for the Crush song 'Rush Hour' which features Hobi!

 

 

 

@twink_twink_, thanks for posting the Goal of the Century preview. Every time I hear 'Yet to Come', it makes me both nostalgic and happy. Can't believe they wrote English lyrics for it! :yoongibtscheer:

The full version of 'Yet to Come' which has the new English lyrics integrated into their original song.

 

It's football and BTS, and I know that there is a lot of controversy over Qatar hosting the World Cup, but seriously, I can't help myself but cheer on BTS, and anticipate the World Cup. Go USA! Go South Korea (when they're not playing the USA, of course   :laugh: ) !

@stroppyse Hahaha! That's why I said it's hard for me to ship the OUAST couple, because Crush is so adorable. I thought Crush and Hobi were the same age, but Hobi kept calling him "hyung" so I looked it up. Crush is actually two years older but BTS debuted a year earlier so Hobi is Crush's sunbae. I'm actually surprised to see such an upbeat song from Crush because I've only heard of his songs that are slower -- along the R&B and Soul genre.

I think all of the guys in BTS are pretty respectful actually. Watching Crush and Hobi interact, you wouldn't realize that Hobi is the sunbae, even though I knew he was. I did think it was cute that Crush wrote the song with the collab with Hobi in mind. I think that may be why it's so much more upbeat than Crush's more usual R&B stuff? I liked "Rush Hour" enough that I looked up some of Crush's other music.

 

I also find it funny how Crush is the second collaborator who remarked on how quickly the Bangtan boys pick up choreo. Psy's choreographer was surprised at how quickly Suga picked up the choreo for 'That That', and now Crush was shocked that Hobi picked up the choreo that had taken Crush himself working daily for 2 or 3 weeks in about 30 min before the MV shoot.  It made me wonder if the BTS guys were just not given credit for how they've worked?

 

Actually, given that Hobi is the dance master for BTS' choreo, it didn't surprise me at all that he would pick up strange choreo so quickly, especially given that the dance style was right up in Hobi's specialty.
