BTS: Behind “Dynamite,” Album Teasers, and the Importance of Friendship | Apple Music

Fairy Tael I do not agree. It would have been great to hear from Tae, but we all know Tae has a shy, quiet side. I think this interview was very insightful and brought out the other members participation.

Zane Lowe is the best music journalist and interviewer alive. Seeing him interact with BTS at a level that no other "entertainment journalist" can is just refreshing. Kudos to Zane and so happy for this BTS comeback.

[@libbywinslet]

This is the type of interview that ARMY have been waiting for. Zane spoke in a mature manner (as always) with a respectful tone and asked genuine questions of interest and not questions that seem to pry. He also spoke to the band as a group of men and not like most interviewers who treat them like a group of 14 year old boys. Zane does his research for every artist he interviews and that is why he is so highly respected in the music world by artists and fans alike.

[@k_bloo]

Couldn't have said that better myself. The respect really got me. They are people, not some auto-generated robots and he really speaks to them like PEOPLE.

[@tahesinmomin531]

One more thing i liked about this interview is that everybody is speaking their opinions without hesitation...or without language being a barrier(of course they must have a interpreter in between.. Which part is not shown.. Bt still) ... It looks very genuine and not for using bts to gain attention... Edit :- i said everybody is speaking but i watched full interview 2 times and i realized that taehyung didn't even spoke a single word in whole interview except the little thank you in the end... I wonder why😞

[@jessicacallender]

He's the only one I heard address them as 'gentlemen' That made my heart warm

[@andybarrios4930]

Two things: First of all, I personally think that Zane did such an amazing job, his questions are personal, but without being uncomfortable for the guys, it feels different from the other interviews they had. And the other thing is, how cute it was when Jungkook was taping on Namjoon's knee to tell him that he's been painting during this quarantine? Cause I seriously find it adorable :)

[@amanduuuh_7117]

BTS does so many fast-paced, short press interviews so much so that you can usually tell how lightly and quickly they answer questions within the first few minutes of all of these. But every time they get a chance to sit and talk for more than 5 minutes with someone who is genuinely engaged, the conversation instantly turns more reflective. They have such fascinating perspectives and so much to say when given the chance. I'm glad you're building this relationship with them. BTS tends to return to journalists they enjoyed speaking with so I look forward to the round table when the album drops! Cheers!!

[@Glory.Be.To.Allah_swt]

yeah i find this interview touches them deep... Namjoon sounds really grateful at the end

[@ohmyheartukpopper7722]

Corde Okoye lets promote him to same status as Liam and Zack as Best Interviewers.

[@MaryAkemon]

I know this has been said, but I just feel compelled to repeat: This is the best non-korean interview I have seen with BTS. Earlier today I was talking with a friend about how the guys can even STAND doing American interviews. They're so vapid, so simple, they ask the same questions. It's fun that ARMY has made a lot of these moments into jokes or inside jokes but it's so tiring at this point, and I'm not even the one being interviewed. These are grown ass men that deserve to talk about their art in a mature way. Good on Zane for constructing such a great interview. The rest of the pop culture and music "journalism" industry needs to take note.

[@hmaroni9572]

Mary Akemon the zach interview was good too

[@namjooooon2081]

James cordon and Jimmy Fallon were also nice

[@zub2425]

Their interview at the Grammy museum was also good, I'd heard. The people who went said they gave good answers and because there was a translator were more comfortable. The vids seemed like it was good too.

[@kristin123a]

The interviews with Liam McEwan are amazing as well. He's my favourite.

[@RajeevTBlank]

YES STAN ZANE, LETS MAKE HIM VIRAL LOL

[@athenaalaine3299]

to be honest, this didn't feel like an interview- rather, it felt like genuinely engaged conversation that was felt from both sides. i loved how Zane made it seem like a rather wholesome 11 minute long conversation, rather than a fast-paced basic western interview (you know what i mean)

[@ajtam05]

That's what makes a good interviewer when it "feels" like that. ;)

[@helenahmbaye269]

Yes this like my 5th time watching an interview between bts and American interviewers, and tbh this was the most genuine one, no lie!

Never seen a more respectful, involved Interviewer who not only studies the artist but goes beyond than language barriers to make them feel comfortable.

May we have more genuine, understanding, interviewers and fans like you. :)

He clearly respects them (as we all do) and told them so which won me right there & probably means more to BTS than a 100 interviews of stupid questions...

[@meryemlouni7988]

Love the interviewer. We can see that he is genuinely interested in BTS and their music. He really asked the kind of questions we want

[@michellevyanca5280]

See what happens when interviewers actually respect, appreciate and act genuinely with bts? They get both bts and army's stamp of approval and both parties feel like they didn't waste their time. A lot of people think we bash certain interviewers for stupid things but this right here is the actual standard of what an interview should be. Questions like "who do you want to collab with?" Or "what's your favorite american food?" are fun but it has LITERALLY been asked thousands of time and if you did a little research, you would know that. I find it sad that it's so hard to find a nice, genuine interview these days that both bts and armys are always surprised when it actually comes. I mean just look at Namjoon's face of slow realization in these types of interviews, where he starts to notice that it isn't a typical interview and actually becomes interested in answering the questions and what the interviewer is talking about. It should be like that all the time. I really hope all interviewers from now on take their time to do proper research about bts and any artist and prepare questions that actually give us insight about the artist, and not only on the surface level. Peace.

It's much deeper, and it's hard to find interviewers who aren't just shallow. They usually ask surface questions, and that shows that they just don't get it. They don't understand how profound BTS and their music are. But Zane, he gets it!! And I'd really love to see more of him with them. BTS are very genuine people, and they can feel how genuine Zane is too. And that's what makes this so refreshing. So THANK you Zane! God Bless💜💜

yes I remember an old BTS interview when they were asked who they relied on when they were having problems and needed to talk, almost everyone pointed to Jimin, and Jimin pointed to Hobi

Zane seems to really respect them as artists and not just as a “Kpop sensation” like most of other interviewers introduce them. He asked insightful questions and he did his research. Zane Respect ✊

[@benj9380]

The interviewer’s accent is so interesting, because sometimes he sounds so American and sometimes he sounds so Kiwi. He must have left New Zealand a long while ago, so his accent is quite diluted.

[@abbioconnor9686]

are you sure he’s not australian? idk

[@theindoorkites]

Hes a kiwi but he lived in the uk for some 10 years he was a host on bbc radio 1 and he left uk and moved to the us 5-6 years ago? So yeah😅

[@lhoenatic029]

That's what I also noticed about the interviewer his accent is going in and out aside from his doing a great job interviewing the boys.

literally brought tears to my eyes when he told them that no one can truly understand what they are experiencing except them.......fr fr you can tell how impressed they were as well, because we know they barely ever get such a genuine treatment from journalists even though they absolutely do deserve it so so much. Thank you.

[@Persian_amy]

Yeah agree🥺

[@KeepingUpWithFizahK]

That's really insightful! I was moved when he said that

[@era9402]

i really like this interviewer. he asked valuable, philosophical, and personal questions without being intrusive and rude. bts seemed very calm and natural here, you can tell that they are interested in sharing their insights and experiences. this felt more like an engaging conversation rather than a typical western question-to-answer interview. all i can say is thank you, zane.

[@gingerbreadaddiction9643]

This is hands down one of the best BTS interviews by a western interviewer. I'm generally a fan of Zane Lowe's interviews but this interview was just amazing. I love how he was genuinely interested in everything they said and how he even reacted to their answers and asked back on it! You can see he really respects BTS and doesn't belittle them or the fans in any way. Other interviewers should use this as an example! Mr. Lowe, thank you very much for this great interview, really appreciate it!

I didn't expect to be a fan of the interviewer Zane after watching this but here we are. I really enjoyed this interview and how Zane gave genuine responses and reactions to the boys answers.

the fact zane actually KNEW stuff about bts, and was polite, and asked actually good questions instead of "wHo Do YoU wAnT tO cOlLaBoRaTe WiTh NeXt?¿?¿?" WE STANNNNN

[@dianasartorio2670]

The question at 6:54 and their answers just holds much weight if you're truly an ARMY. Despite the flood waves of video series, fancams, off cams, and whatever articles/news reports, its an undeniable fact that they still have alot hidden behind the screens. And that (just like what Zane said), only adds up to the 'obssession' of the masses together with their success. Truly, hats off to Zane for being extremely genuine with our boys. I hope most interviewers are like him.

[@carolinah2130]

Wow there's been shorter interviews that had made me want to click out of, but I don't because i still want to see the boys, but wow this didn't even feel like 11 minutes. I thoroughly enjoyed this interview, it felt refreshing and genuine. Not to mention the fact that Zane actually treated them with respect and without talking down to them like little kids. I didn't cringe at all watching this! Thanks Zane!

[@hsl2422]

This is the first time Suga revealed that all of them don't have closed friends in Seoul, especially during the earlier years, although years ago JK did slightly mentioned before about himself don't have friends besides members. All these experiences and hardships they went through all these years are in the lyrics of the Eternal 💜

[@subobing3551]

I think they are super lucky to have 6 other guys as friends and hyungs! It’s hard to find 6 very close friends in anyone’s world that will have your back and care as much as these 7 do for each other.

[@michellevyanca5280]

Yeah it's a bit expected actually cuz they're always so busy and hardly stay in one place for too long, it's hard for them to build deep connections with people that aren't the members. But at least they do have that support system, they know they have people that will be there for them no matter what and that they can talk about anything with them. I hope as they get older and become less busy (hopefully), they can take some time for themselves and focus on the things that make them happy.

[@theindoorkites]

god i love zane lowe. he truly understands the music and the artist he speaks to. i want him to do an in depth interview face to face with them one day. (preferably with an interpreter so that the boys wouldnt be pressured into speaking english, or refrain from talking to not burden joon.) i feel like he would really get to highlight each song from an album.. and im sure he would love the BU storyline if he gets into it since zane loves intermedium storylines that connect throughout the years.. i think he would really enjoy seeing the extend of bts' artistry.. i hope they get to do that one day.

[@alwaystired4583]

By the looks on their faces they never received that much amount of respect you gave. I look forward to your next interview with them. This was short but gold.

[@RamenJoy875]

My favorite interviewer out of all the interviews for this promotion so far. He’s so genuine, so thoughtful and nails a lot of great points and questions. This sounds like a conversation and not an interview. The summary at the end by Zane is so good. “I think the way that you are going about handling your success is inspiring to young people. And the fact that you’re breaking long-standing records...shows that we still have things to achieve in music.” I think the way BTS handles all their success is unprecedented. No arrogance, no fake-ness, no extravagance. I think honestly it’s due to their unique 10 year friendship and chemistry that keeps them grounded. That kind of friendship is so rare, I would dare to say I’ve never seen anything like it in the music/celebrity world. Thank you Zane. For a wonderful interview that shines a light on what is important about BTS.

omg Hobi's 'wOw' at the end just shows how suprised and how much he appreciates genuine interviewers like this. Although I do feel that now that BTS have become recognised by the media worldwide the interviews and respect for the boys is much better. It's a shame that they had to earn a #1 song on billboard for them to finally get the respect they deserve. Hopefully interviewers learn from their past mistakes and next time they interview artists from other countries with language barriers they will not underestimate their power just because they speak a different language. Anyway welcome to the fandom zane!! U have earned Army's respect, and u have set an amazing example for other interviewers too! Thank you!!!

[@MamaARMY12619]

Wow. I didn't expect this type of interview. It was so honest and real. It was both therapeutic of the viewer and you could see for the members as well.
