Pitchfork: BTS used a throwaway beat from Mike WiLL Made-IT
Mike WiLL Made-IT to Rolling Stone: I liked how different [BTS] were trying to be. The beats that they picked don’t sound like no other production that I’ve done. It’s super out of pocket, and it’s just original.”
🐥 what will happen, i wonder? what will happen to those songs we wrote? (that are not in the album)
🐱 wouldn't we use them individually or something? but we would use them among ourselves, rather than give them away
“it’s the only thing he says all day that doesn’t quite ring true.”
i’ll never stop admiring bts’ humility but truth is they really are among the biggest musical acts in the world right now. 💜
Is RM the unofficial head of A&R at BigHit? Because between vouching for Jungkook to be able to sing the f word to being the go-to person for all TXT issues, he’s working 4 or 5 jobs there.
Rolling Stone spotlight on Jimin:
Jimin, whose velvety voice and nearly feline lover-boy magnetism stands out even in a group filled with virtuosic singers and strong presences, shocked himself with his own solo success. His single “Like Crazy” hit Number One months before “Seven,” which made him the first Korean solo artist to top the Hot 100.

.@bts_bighit's RM (#김남준) talks about if @bts_bighit could do the Super Bowl:
"Maybe if the time goes by and the thoughts in the people change...if there's a chance, we definitely want to, some day."

RM about 2.0:
"There are really people who just pray in their home, Please, BTS, just go fall down. Just break apart and collapse.’ So we’re thinking about ‘OK, guys, for two, three years, we have been apart and three years passed, and there are ARMYs waiting for us, the world waiting for us, so you guys had your little fun."
🐹: “I’ve always thought there’s no reason to continue if it’s not with the group”
🐿️: “It’s so amazing that we got back together at all & that we’re still making music as a group”
🐱: “I knew we were always gonna get back together.”
😭😭😭
“The band members took note of Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl triumph, entirely in Spanish, and they’re intrigued by the idea of following his lead. ‘We’re always thinking about how to break barriers,’ RM says. ‘Language shouldn’t limit music.’”

Mike WiLL Made-It on his experience working with BTS on ARIRANG
“Salute BTS for coming to the proper source, you know what I'm saying? We don't even fluently speak the same language, but when we were making those songs, it was like we were speaking the same language....”
