the fact that this is the only bts album cover with them on it and arirang is and damn will be their most important and historically significant era ever
lets also talk about rpwp not getting a nod even in genre categories when most publications were including it on album of the year lists. you have to fucking laugh
SUR MA VIE ils ont posé leurs couilles sur la table je vais JAMAIS JAMAIS arrêter de les aimer JA-MAIS que quelqu’un nous parle encore de western validation on va vous retrouver
two things were dangled in front of bts for the longest time. military exemption and the grammy. and in both cases they took the reins of the systems that tied them to exploitative schemes with the promise of a reward that was always just out of reach. hope they feel lighter now
this feels like when they announced their enlistment after years of harassment from their gov and dangling exemption in front of them with busan con, it's just such a proud & protective feeling i get seeing them take back the control from people who've tried to push them around.
