BTS paved the way. In the US, particularly, they’ve kicked down doors that were only ever previously ajar for east Asian artists. So intense, fast and unexpected was their rise that the American industry, blindsided, could only dust off the memories of Beatlemania and dub it ‘BTS-mania’ - Dazed
[NEWS] #V shared his feelings ahead of the release of his first solo album!
"It's a lot of pressure to be the last runner after the other members have successfully completed their solo careers, but I'll show you everything I've prepared step by step, t is an album that contains the charm of Kim Tae-hyung as a human being."
Yoongi:
"The thing about idols is that we don't have to commit a crime or do something that's controversial for people to blow little things out of proportion and judge us. I could never understand the mentality of those people. like when an idol smokes a cigarette in a music video, say i get criticized for these things at the age of 31... So this is my message: let's free ourselves from these things. It's okay to care less about what others think. You should able to do what you want."
Exactly yoongi tell them :(
