"While they aren't the first, BTS is the latest K-pop act seeing focusing their music on social, mental and political issues connect with an international audience. Songs like "Blood Sweat & Tears" or "I Need U" talk about being dangerously in love, but other tracks like "Whalien 52" heartbreakingly detail loneliness while "Spring Day" acts an inspiration anthem..."

Date: 2017-05-24 09:52 pm (UTC)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?

Date: 2017-05-25 12:02 am (UTC)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.

Date: 2017-05-25 05:04 am (UTC)If he had searched BTS' name in Korean, in the different portals, he'd see that there are plenty of articles on BTS and on BTS at the BBMAs in particular. See: Daum (http://search.daum.net/search?w=news&q=%EB%B0%A9%ED%83%84%EC%86%8C%EB%85%84%EB%8B%A8&spacing=0) / Naver (https://search.naver.com/search.naver?where=news&se=0&query=%EB%B0%A9%ED%83%84%EC%86%8C%EB%85%84%EB%8B%A8&ie=utf8&sm=tab_srt&sort=0&photo=0&field=0&reporter_article=&pd=0&ds=&de=&docid=&nso=so%3Ar%2Cp%3Aall%2Ca%3Aall&mynews=0&mson=0&refresh_start=0&related=0) / Nate (http://search.daum.net/nate?w=news&q=%EB%B0%A9%ED%83%84%EC%86%8C%EB%85%84%EB%8B%A8&spacing=0) "I don't see their photo on the main page" does not mean that there's a blackout. Like I get that bigger companies have more pull with the media, not denying that, but this conspiracy stems from someone basically visiting these portals once and jumping to conclusions.
Also! I listed over 20 Korean news clips in this very post alone, so TV news broadcasts have reported on BTS' BBMA. (There are probably more out there but I got tired looking.) The reason why I didn't list more Korean articles is because most of them aren't translated, but there a ton.
Edit: this (http://ktaebwi.tumblr.com/post/161043277792) also explains it better than whatever I was trying to do ^up there.

Date: 2017-05-24 10:04 pm (UTC)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 ๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ฐ
i still need to read a few of these articles, but it's so many. one day...

Date: 2017-05-24 10:14 pm (UTC)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.

Date: 2017-05-24 10:18 pm (UTC)"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 himโฆ.
Joey:ย Jungkook
Ross:ย Jin
Phoebe:ย V
Monica:ย RM [Rap Monster]
Rachel:ย Cannot decide"
Wow V as Phoebe is dead on it's scary...

Date: 2017-05-24 10:30 pm (UTC)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.

Shake Shack yessss it's so good
When they mentioned Whitney Houston, Tupac and Biggie as artists they'd like to collab with... *tears*

Date: 2017-05-24 11:59 pm (UTC)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?
