except for tablo from epik high, no peer of bts in k-pop supported bts today. an industry critic said that only bts could show this backbone and that k-pop has to bow down to the grammys. while bts wanted to protect the industry's pride, we learned that the industry has no pride.
"I have dreamed of creating a space that transcends East and West, modern and contemporary, by adding works of Western masters whom I like, find meaningful, timeless, and contemporary.
I believe that works from Korea (especially from the 1950s to the 80s) have much to offer us today. Their attitude toward life and their work, in particular, is significant.
They painted with the spirit of transcending their status as artists from a colonial, impoverished country. How many artists, like Van Gogh, were only recognized after they died, or have yet to be discovered and faded away?
I wanted to spotlight them and restore their dignity in the sanctuary I have created. And I believe that we should live our lives with that similar attitude."

🐨: When they (members) sometimes just tell me that "I know your effort and I'm really happy to have a leader like you," all those stress, they're gone. So that's the beauty of being a team.
And Yoongi never missed a chance to praise and appreciate Namjoon as a good leader 😭
I don’t ever see anyone talk about how impressive it is that namjoon’s able to learn and speak a whole new language at every concert stop and with only 2 days to practice his pronunciations & what he wants to say. that’s some crazy skills.
Namjoon: We lost our chance to live a normal life in our 20s, instead we've lived an extraordinary 1. When it comes to sending msg I view each act as throwing tiny rocks on a wall. I hope when combined, will build a huge castle, thats how I feel abt @BTS_twt's work & music.
Rolling Stone praises BTS concert in London, giving it a score of 5/5.
"The South Korean group reclaimed their throne as the biggest band in the world in style."
