Love, love, love YTC. Surprised by any negative response to it when it was another track I was on the fence about. Was a little worried when I first was listening to Run BTS to be honest. It was sounding like some of the most annoying parts of SM music borderline NCTish (I like some NCT but some feels like production was doing too much).

I thought RM & Suga were holding the song together by a thread. Then it hit the second half of the song with the beat change and that is what clicked with me. Upon first listen the second half of that track with Hobi is the song I wanted to hear. Now after streaming I like the chorus the most. It was a grower. Bet this is a banger live.

First though hearing For Youth was that it needed a stronger melody and hook. Sat with it last night blasted in headphones and was like, my god the ad libs, the vocals, & rhythm is all very oooold school R&B group. I really need to hear a live of this cuz I think despite my first impression this song might stick with me in my subconscious the longest due to association with songs from my childhood/youth... oh wait.. for youth? Damn.

Born Singer sounds amazing too. Love how disk 1 sounds. Can't speak on the rest (disk 2 &3)as I just got my text telling me my albums were on the way and I am trying hard not to just head to Target.

Wooooooooooooow! My heart can't take this!

I actually miss these shows with the fan chanting K-ARMY.

“soy boys”. and racists are coming out in full force. ooff…. can’t say i’m surprised.

Didn't Joe just come back from meeting with world leaders in East Asia? Oh wait, thats rights, racist only see white western people as "world" leaders so that doesn't count. I would ignore this for the next couple of days as these people don't EVER want anyone to speak on racism no matter who it is so they will deflect like people can't multitask.

I didn't know IU was on Spotify. Thought there was a company struggle with that. I lost track.

Girl in the blue lace dress was the only weak one. She needs waaay more practice. But part of the fun should be watching for the improvement. Now I'm going to be paying more attention to her to follow her growth.

The only other problem I had is the,"What you lookin at..." &"We should get away..."they are whispering which clearly they were told to do thinking the backing track would be louder. It wasn't.

Also every live vocal will not be perfect no matter who they are but with groups getting younger and younger they need that time to grow into their voices. 10,000 hrs is normally the unspoken rule of what a vocalist needs to sing in order be great (and they are singing AND dancing which most vocalist don't do during training which affects stability if your breathing is damn near like that of an athlete). In that time mistakes WILL be made I don't care who you are.

Which is why I am not against training kids (hell sometimes we do it all the time between weekly church choir & school choir) but I am again too much lip syncing (not lip syncing here and there)because it takes away from the training time.

P.S every single one of these Kpop companies I can point to bad vocal performance of one of their artists. Same here in America. But perfection isn't human. Growth from those mistakes is. Great job & good luck to all the rookies I've seen in the past 2 yrs!

I should have voted other (I voted fans) to mean your own. I've seen some historically embarrassing takes on Hip Hop, Rock, & Pop music songs thru the years so I would only hope that Kpop fans don't fall for the journalist music critic knows best nonsense.

Why Early Critics Hated the Beatles | The Saturday Evening Post

An unusual sound, seemingly unearned fame, and abnormally long hair, The Beatles were everything critics hated about the entire rock 'n' roll genre.

I apologize for contributing to the derail. It's just that some people are up in here giving this type of energy yet trying to hide it.

I don't GIVE A DAMN about you feeling gaslight when its real life for me right NOW. F your feelings! I said what I said.

Quote from prodigy210

you accused me of me of dismissing your loss which is gaslighting because you ignored my first quote to the actual response and responded to what i said when you told me to shut up and made fun of my "faves"

my point was to criticize my govt which i did nothing more if you got anything more than that its not my fault

Some of yall on this site take this Kpop wars and coming for BTS just because too damn far acting like you just care about the government. Yall never have discussions about mass shootings, gun violence, black folks, Asians folks, Latinos etc dying in your own threads about your own damn artists or the Kpop industry as a whole but suddenly you're here and you care? Miss me with the bull. YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT SOCIAL ISSUES or POLITICS.

And quiet as its kept it is part of the reason yall like Kpop cuz the industry keeps them away from social issues and politics. And it makes you mad as all hell that BTS doesn't just awkwardly stand there and smile & wave wedged between a signed CD and whatever sitting Korean present after doing a little jig.

But that they are actually being aloud to speak. To have a voice. To say their own thoughts. You should want more of that. But I keep forgetting a lot of yall have an internalized racism (and self hate issues) against your own favs and the industry seeing them in the brainwashed view of orientalism.

Jewish people didn't wait for the "right time" to speak their truth.

Black people didn't wait for the "right time" to speak their truth (I was raised by a Black Panther. Thats how I know.)

And Asian people should not have to wait for the right time to speak their truth. That is a trap for you to be ignored so the powers that be can feel better, and it is business as usual for the racists. Don't fall for it.

Quote from prodigy210

no it was a response to your weak attempt to make fun or my "faves" and telling me to shut up

but i guess if you just want to paint yourself a victim and choose to ignore my first quote lol

ive had my on own uncle and 2 of my cousin lose their life to gun violence so you can try to bring up all your personal stories to gaslight it wont work on me because i dont need them to have a discussion. i responded to you with respect than in first quote and saw you didnt actually want a discussion so responded with the same energy in the second.

I had four cousins die do to gun violence and a third of my family trying to escape Katrina. One of which stole a truck to save more people. And that is just the tip of the iceberg. So if your point is the pain Olympics your arms are too short to box with god.

But that is not your point is it? Your point is to start shit about something that doesn't concern you AT ALL.

And using the word "gaslight" when I brought up something I NOW have to relive because it is now on the news DAILY AGAIN in association with this new shooting means you live a real privileged life. Cuz I guess I'm being gaslit everyday when I turn on the news while your ass gets to play silly games on the internet.

Be happy all you got is someone hurting your feeling on AllKpop about you being pure trash. You'll NEVER feel how I feel right now.

Quote from prodigy210

i have stopped involving myself in this thread multiple times and maybe you should take a note from bts and stop spreading hate

This is your response to me saying I had family actually murdered from REAL hate and your crying about words. Thanks for proving my point that your ass NEVER cared about mass shootings nor timing. Your sick ass using innocent lives for fanwars. Maybe you can stream a soul... I mean weeekly?

Quote from prodigy210

never said anything bad about bts keep your fantasy to yourself dont involve me while i have had problems with some army the fanbase thats irrelevant to bts

Don't involve yourself in this thread. Do like your fav does about Asian issues and SHUT THE HELL UP!

Anyway hopefully BTS can bring comfort to those that have been victims of Asian hate and straight violence, inspire others to speak out even if it is just the next generation still in highschool.

P.S if you are Asian please take it from a black woman when I tell you people seeing your pain and hating you for saying something about it is far better than someone seeing your pain & ignoring you/pretending that you don't exist.

Don't be silenced, be LOUD about it no matter what!

Quote from prodigy210

bad timing doesnt equate to ignore problems

Bitch shut up! I lost a five year old cousin to a MASS school shooting 10 DAMN YEARS AGO in THIS country. My father couldn't even sit through the funeral at the sight of the tiny coffin. What time is the right time? When?

We are always F-ed up in this country and people use it as an excuse to keep their mouth shut. I'll never forgive the celebs that kept it on mute during BLM protests but when shit calmed down they were like, "By my album". And yeah I'm talking about black folk.

Stop using real damn issues that affect real people for fan wars and ask your favs why they and/or their company are soooo damn mute when Asian people are getting rocked on a regular. And no, they are not going to ask for a passport when your fav comes here thinking they are going to go shopping in NY or LA before they knock their ass up side the head.

Don't nobody think you really care. because if you did you would have thought what are the chances that what I am talking about actually affected 1 person on this site. Naw f it right, start a fanwar?troll bullshit. You and that other idot.

P.S when 30 people (both women and children) are chilling having a block party on a corner in Chicago and a gang member comes and shoots them up, it IS A MASS SHOOTING dummy!

BTS does. I've only ever seen them used on Twitter to describe a chat they were in. Off the top of my head I think it's:

Jimin-Bird

Yoongi-Cat

Tae-Tiger

Namjoon-Panda

Hobi- Unicorn/Squirrel

JK-Bunny

Jin-Mouse

And they also have their BT21 characters that they designed themselves though I wouldn't exactly call Tea's and Suga's an animal.

Quote from doesitneedsaying

bitter? good for you that you have a cd/dvd player but many don't have one. they are paying for something they cannot use, if that means they are bitter then so be it.

you always work hard to defend hybe's decisions, i admire you for that.

a day when you won't defend hybe will come but today is not that day.

"..they are paying for something they cannot use.."

Sooo... They knew they didn't have a CD player when they bought a CD. Okay. Isn't that's most Kpop fans every comeback. When I first saw vinyls being sold out I thought, "Do these babies even have a record player?" Then I remembered all the record players I saw being sold around my little sister's college campus 4yrs ago. And this is after Marvel fans were asking for a Guardians Of The Galaxy soundtrack cassette tape. Funny that those formats had a resurgence with the youth over CDs.Their money, their choice I guess.

If this is about tracklist 3, it might have a digital release at a later date, but it will probably be released to another streaming site (not named spotify or apple) later.

Quote from merribelle

I have a CD player. I also have a record player. I love the full album art. If BTS would have released this on vinyl

pasted-from-clipboard.gif

I was just saying to my sister I'm going to need them to put out that vinyl.

Really excited to hear the 3rd disk. already had an external CD playing saved on Amazon because frankly CDs sound better than digital anyway. An external disk drive is a cheaper option too if anyone is interested.

Side note: I get some people are upset but can we chill with the essays? You are not going to convince people one way or the other what to do with their money. If you are really feeling a way contact Big Hit because I...
