It's such a weird feeling hearing Namjoon mentioning Romanian when talking about fans translating their tweets (in the phone interview). I didn't know we were making such an impact that they would notice.

Jimin teaching that guy how to dance the 3:33 dance was so cute with the chapters and how he was telling him to watch him. And Jin with his ring was killing me. But can we all talk about Taehyung's booty? When did that happen? That caught me off guard.

The questions from the Yahoo interview were fun. I love that they are still themselves no matter what award they win or where they are interviewed. "Do you know *insert kpop group*?" "Yes, I've heard of them." Sure.

I haven't watched the interview with Kevin Manno. I turned it off when he asked them if they have women like Nicki Minaj in South Korea. I'm glad Namjoon awkwardly told him they should move on to the next question.

I liked the interview with Pdogg. I forgot all about BTS Festa. I wonder what they have in store for us this year and where did they find time to do it all.

I do hope BTS got themselves even more fans after all this BBMAs frenzy.

Quick question: there's a theory going on twt right now that the Big 3 (or namely YG) is blocking BTS articles from appearing on the first/main page of Naver, Daum, etc. especially since the news of them winning at the BBMAs is big and they should be on the first page. So is it a conspiracy theory, ARMYs gone nuts again or can it actually be true with YG investing so much in Naver?

re: your quick question -

yeah today my tlist was going wild over this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJjkzilOyJs).

there was a tweet just after bts won their award saying that wow bts are finally on naver main page, i checked and yeah it was true. but then i checked some hours later, and you couldn't find them on the main page anymore. that's weird as hell to me. meanwhile, sunday/monday/tuesday, there were so many articles, interviews, and tweets from american press about bts.

naver invested in and has a partnership with yg (http://pulsenews.co.kr/view.php?year=2017&no=183671). so i don't see it to be far-fetched to say that bts are being 'blocked' or at least 'ignored' by korean media. reality of being non-big3 and in competition with those artists.

I'm hoping its just a conspiracy theory...? But that is strange. I can see YG feeling threatened by them just because he has tried so hard to make ikon into the new BigBang when BTS is kinda taking that spot....I mean I hate comparing them to BIGBANG just because I have a lot of problems with BIGBANG. But I mean as an impactful boy group in Korea I really think they will be on the same level as them someday and I can see YG not being happy about that. Especially since ikon is sort of flopping on the charts right now the group he wanted that title to go to and BTS is winning awards abroad. I can defiantly see YG's ego being bruised with that news. I can't see why JYP or SM would block the news though, I can only see YG doing it. But again there is no way to know. The Naver theory makes sense though, but like other news outlets? I feel like you'd have to bribe them with a lot of money because usually the Korean media jumps at any opportunity to prove the Hallyu Wave is strong. I mean the radio interview wth rapmon is kinda proof of that, cuz the interviewer rarely interviews idols but she thought it was worth interviewing him about this because she believes in the Hallyu Wave. Is it just i-armys saying this?

I'm pretty sure YG would. YG and its relationship with Naver is shady. The Big 3 have stayed the Big 3 for so long not just b/c they have more money and influence, it's because they also resort to industry sabotage to stay at the top. The Korean justice system is incredibly corrupt especially when it comes to corporate interests so there's not much holding YG back from doing shit like this.

i really enjoyed the kiss fm. interview. the questions that were asked were good and they seemed to enjoy themselves. jimin teaching the guy the hardest bit out of the fire dance lmao. i loved their reactions to his shocked expression. jin is the true mvp. he's just so damn funny, i can't with him. namjoon answered the question regarding the manchester tragedy well. i try to not think about it too much because it really breaks my heart.

the yahoo interview was something else. maybe the mc was just nervous but she came across very robotic. props to them for still enjoying themselves and laughing. namjoon being thrown off by yoongi's english all of a sudden and saying "oh, i guess they can speak english now" was funny and cute. them laughing when they were mentioning korean artists because they knew she wouldn't get it was endearing.

hoseok's smile can rival the sun. we've been seeing a lot of yoongi genuine gummy smile and it makes me so soft. i'm not gonna go in on the size difference of jimin & taehyung next to each other on the couch because i don't wanna hurt myself ๐Ÿ˜ฐ๐Ÿ˜ฐ๐Ÿ˜ฐ

i still need to read a few of these articles, but it's so many. one day...

Another pretty post OP there really is so much stuff out about them it's overwhelming trying to get to all of them.

The Kiss FM and Yahoo were my favorite interviews and watching that video of them with Halsey was so cute oh my gosh. I really can't wait for this collab with Steve Aoki and hopefully her as well.

That Kevin Manno interview though...like dude.

They are too cute with the flower crown filter. Can you imagine if BTS created a snapchat account? I would pass out.

"Rap Monster, this one is for you: I heard you taught yourself English by watching 'Friends,' which is impressive! What character do you think you're most like? And what Friends character do you think each of your bandmates is most like?


Rap Monster:ย Chandler! I've always admired his sense of humor. But I can't choose a bandmate like himโ€ฆ.

Kinda OT, anyone saw the mess on AJ's post about BTS? lmao.

I really liked the Korean interview on the phone, when the host said Namjoon spoke well, for some reason it made me happy, really the king of speaking any languages well! ;;

Their interviews during the American leg of the Wings tour were quite awkward but the ones after the BBMAs were pretty good and interesting!
I howled @ Kevin Manno's interview when he asked if there were women like Nicki Minaj in SK. Of fucking course a white man asked that lmfao. Namjoon dodged it like a pro.

oh god that AJ mess, i'll be happy if i never read the words "western validation" again (nevermind that even korean articles point out bts' lyrics). like, i get his point and clearly the Rolling Stones article was written with non-kpop fans in mind and it was kind of sloppy with the generalizations, but i really don't think jeff benjamin is out to denigrate kpop and it's kind of silly to select one sentence out of one of the many articles that came out after the bbmas and to build and entire article and controversy around it

Their interview with KIIS FM was probably my favorite. People said it was awkward but I enjoyed it. Jin was pretty talkative and hes so funny. When he found out about "the third guy on the left" lol and when he talked about buying that 400 dollar ring in Vegas and now he has no money. Lol I love Jin. You could hear the people behind the camera laughing at him lol.

The interview with yahoo answer was probably the most awkward cuz of the MC but that interview also had the best questions if you ask me.

Also I don't get what was wrong with the nicki manaj question? I thought maybe he meant like her type of persona. Obviously its hard to compare but I could see them saying maybe someone like Jessi or something.

Also a lot of people on tumblr have been saying they wish BTS wouldn't hangout with Hasley. I dunno I loved their interactions with her. Like what has she done thats problematic that people keep saying they shouldn't hang out with her for? Apparently people are saying she is a racist?

compared to the american wings tour's interviews, this round of interviews was less awkward and i think they enjoyed themselves more. i'm glad the other members spoke up more. i was shookT during the yahoo!interview when rapmon was like "yeah it was hard for them when i was at the bathroom because they don't speak english" but then suga said a few sentences in english lmfaoo.

These kids are so funny whether they speak english or not. Jimin's "suuuper simple" at kiis fm got me all asdfghjlk he was so cute and the way he explains. The interview at yahoo was a bit awkward from the lady's part but they were hilarious. That interview with Kevin Manno tho was kinda boring and unnecessary minus the selfie part, Tae is confident doing any pose lmao.
