the surprise song idea has worked out fucking hilarious you have jimin and taehyung having no clue what half of the songs playing are, jungkook and namjoon openly judging some of the picks and yoongi somehow knowing every single verse 13 years later cause 'well yea i wrote it'
People, in my opinion, is genuinely one of the most beautiful songs yoongi has ever written. There’s something very comforting about a song that doesn’t promise that life won’t hurt you or that things will stay the same, but instead reminds you that change, regret, love, loss and even pain are all part of being human. It’s the type of song that doesn’t give you all the answers, but will sit in the uncertainty with you and remind ya that it’s okay. 🤍
i just found out that this section was for kids who were brought to the concert through the make-A-wish foundation 😭💔
jimin going straight over to them makes this moment even more heartbreaking and beautiful 🥹
🐱: As I bring the trilogy to a close, I cannot say when I will come to see you again as Agust D. However, when the things I have to say and the countless emotions rise again, and when the black goat on my right hand awakens again, I will come to see you again as #AgustD 🖤
THIS IS WHY THEY WROTE "NORMAL"
🐨: "Normal is a very sad song. I wrote the lyrics in Korean and then changed it to English for radio and stuff, but yeah, there is a Korean version of Normal"
🐨: "One day you love me, one day you say you hate me fine make me bulletproof, so that I won't die even if you shoot me. There was this keyword of Normal. But what is normal for us? As we live as BTS what is the normal for me? Someday people tell me that they love me and the other day they tell me to get lost just like a very toxic couple. People put us high 1000 times and pull down 1000 times too"
🐨: "Wish I had a min just to turn me off"
Fine this is the life that I've chosen and all mistakes are mine but I can think about having a min of shutting off from the people. This doesn't mean that I wanna give up on my life but I can hope for people to forget me for a moment. I think that's the feeling behind writing this lyrics. Now that I see this song is really sad too"
🐨: ""Fantasy and fame yeah the things we choose"
We're accepting that we've chosen this fame"

"BTS doesn’t need a Grammy — they already have the world."-NJ Review
"The rejection of consideration for the Grammy award after the group returned from hiatus with a chart-topping album is a significant statement."-Times
The Category is BTS! 🤌🏽🔴🌟
🐱: “Agust D” was made when I was in high school and I even made a song by sampling “James Brown” songs.
🐱: I really worked hard for the first title song. I didn’t know how professional composers worked, so I literally stayed up night after night. I couldn’t even remember how many days, while Bang PD nim was sitting next to me until the song came out... in that small studio. I kinda tasted what real world was. After that, I worked on various albums.

HYBE reportedly clarified that BTS' decision to not submit for this year's Grammys was not part of a label-wide boycott.
The company said other HYBE artists will continue submitting their work individually, while BTS chose not to submit after careful deliberation, saying the decision was made to "protect the status and pride of the kpop industry as a whole."
I don't think people fully understand the magnitude of this decision.
Some of the music industry's most respected producers, writers, engineers, and creatives worked on ARIRANG. A project built to the highest artistic standard. One producer even spoke publicly about hoping the album would receive Grammy recognition.
Then the Recording Academy introduced a category specifically for Asian pop.
And BTS chose not to submit.
Think about that. The biggest musical project of the year. One of the strongest commercial and artistic contenders. A project that could have competed across multiple major categories. It simply won't be in the race because the artists chose principle over prestige.
Moves like this don't happen often. When artists at BTS' level willingly walk away from the biggest stage in music, the conversation shifts because of what they refused to endorse.
BTS announces they will not submit their music for the 2027 GRAMMY awards, following the Recording Academy’s addition of an Asian-focused category:
“I hope music itself can be heard and loved rather than being distinguished by region or language.”
