Halsey on BTS;

​"They are the hardest working people I've ever met. Despite this massive global fame, what impresses me the most is their pure, unwavering bond with each other and with their fans. They deserve every bit of it."

Shakespeare Failed Ophelia—BTS Saved Her.

BTS's #SWIM : Shakespear's Hamlet (Ophelia’s Ghost in the Deep) : A direct comparison reveals how both the track from ARIRANG and Shakespeare's tragedy approach the concept of existence.

“To Be or Not to Be” Meets the Deep:

In Hamlet's famous soliloquy, he debates whether it is nobler to suffer quietly or to ‘take arms against a sea of troubles.’ BTS explores this identical existential weight in SWIM. Yoongi’s verse explicitly highlights this choice, noting that the water is deep but he refuses to get ‘cold feet.’ Both works acknowledge that life can feel like drowning, but where Hamlet stalls in hesitation, “SWIM” urges an active, immediate response to keep moving forward.

The Drowning of Ophelia vs. Moving Forward:

In Hamlet, Ophelia is overwhelmed by grief and literally drowns because she cannot stay afloat amidst the madness of the Danish court. The official music video for “SWIM” offers a redemptive subversion of Ophelia's tragedy. Starring Lili Reinhart as a woman wrestling with intense emotional pain, the MV features BTS acting as a grounding presence. Instead of letting her sink like Ophelia, they guide her to shatter her constraints (symbolized by a tight necklace) and find the strength to survive the rough currents. This is just a modern reinterpretation in a MV, featuring Lili Reinhart, depicts her actively fighting against this fate with support, choosing to breathe and survive.

Support Systems and Personal Agency:

In Hamlet, the prince is isolated, surrounded by betrayal, and left with only Horatio as a true confidant. In contrast, SWIM highlights a powerful collective dynamic. While the members of BTS steady the ship and offer a safe haven, the lyrics remind the listener that the choice to dive in belongs to the individual. It rewrites the tragic isolation of Shakespeare's characters into a shared journey of healing.

Instead of succumbing to the currents, the song’s overarching philosophy #Keepswimming acts as a direct answer to Hamlet's indecisive hesitation. By providing solidarity and a safe haven, the track reframes the deep ocean from a symbol of inevitable doom into a space where an individual can choose agency, break their internal chains, and actively choose to survive

I saw this on the TL and thought I'd share!

This was super hard- too many good choices for literally every category. Baepsae is a verrrry close second fave song. Jimin almost made my bias wreckers. Wings was such an ICONIC era.

No wrong answers with this tbh

@moriensque 15 - ahhh such a good question!!

Heavy rain or thunder storms are hands down the best. I rarely get thunder where I live, but it always puts me in mood where I want nothing more than to curl up in bed, drink some tea, listen to nature's power, and let the ambience take over me.

@moriensque Of course you can 💜 Thank you for asking!!

14 - music is always my biggest inspiration. Whether it's the mood/vibe that makes me feel a certain way, or a message in the lyrics that resonates with me, music is fundamentally what inspires me to indulge in my creativity.
