.@bts_bighit ‘Merry Go Round’ Music Video 🎠 Only on Spotify, coming in 2 days 🎠
stay tuned for BTS' 'Merry Go Round' Spotify Music Video, coming to our K-Pop ON! Hub on June 19, 6PM KST.
Fans have noticed possible parallels between BTS' “Spring Day” and “Merry Go Round.”
• In the 'Merry Go Round' concept photos, the members appear in the exactly same standing order as they did in 'Spring Day.'
• The teaser shows Leader RM entering a room while the other members watch from inside, seemingly referencing Spring Day, which also has RM walking inside a door while members wait for him inside.
Recording Academy member, Adam Birson, discusses BTS at the upcoming Grammys:
"BTS ARMY should push them to win Album of the Year instead of being marginalized in the Best Asian Pop category. It's great for smaller artists to get recognition, but BTS is too big and important to get stuck in this trap."
The World Cup final is our next chance to make a strong case for why ARIRANG deserves AOTY
ARIRANG matters because BTS embraced a deeply Korean symbol of longing, endurance & separation, and in doing so, spoke to the cultural zeitgeist. In a time marked by division, displacement & despair, BTS offered us an example of return
That is the AOTY argument
ARIRANG is a deeply personal, artistic & authentic work of cultural memory answering a core defining longing in all of us: our longing to belong
‘BTS Concerts And ‘THE CITY’ Project Generated An Estimated $340 Million For Las Vegas’

The team says they’ll have the official numbers by the end of the month.”

Bringing back Son Heung-min saying that BTS are his support system
“If you’re Korean, you listen to BTS,” Son said
“They’ve become somewhat of a support system for me, helping me overcome the difficulties of living abroad,”
“I appreciate them and I’m their biggest fan.”
.@bts_bighit’s “Into the Sun, in which V participated as the main composer and lyricist, was featured in an official G7 Summit video shared by French President Emmanuel Macron. 🌞
The track played during the South Korean president’s entrance, serving as the background music representing the country in the clip. The feature highlighted the global reach of V’s artistry, bringing his music to one of the world’s most prominent diplomatic gatherings.

"Aliens" is the ultimate, unapologetic power move from a group that has officially outgrown the need for Western validation.
Grammys treating BTS like 'ALIENS' in their own industry is exactly why the song 'ALIENS' had to be made. It’s a brilliant, sarcastic flip-off to overt industry gatekeeping that proves BTS doesn't need mainstream validation, they define their own narrative.
Euro ARMYs (and non-Europeans going to the concerts) we are all COOKED—LITERALLY. 🥵
We’ll all end up wearing knickers as our concert fits if this continues until July 🫣
