[@kanika4415]

Especially for O!RUL8,2 and Dark & Wild songs which the boys think didn't do well at that time but has so many great songs!!

[@its_always_the_7]

reallll i dont even mind if it was a whole day concert/festival with mini breaks in between that would be so fun!!

[@deegloss]

BTS really asked "What will happen if BTS rises?" Back in 2013 and the answer 10 years later is beyond anyone's expectations

[@aisyahomar2516]

Yeah..now that I read the lyrics most of the songs in this album mirror the achievements they got now like If I ruled the world and We On. It becomes reality!

[@karodear]

Attack on Bangtan is indeed referencing Attack on Titan. In Japanese, the manga is called Shingeki no Kyoujin, the rise of, the march of, the titans.. strangely translated to English as Attack on Titan. The song, called 진격의 방탄, Shingyoke Bangtan in Korean, means The Rise of Bangtan, but they keep the strange naming convention from the manga/anime and call it Attack on Bangtan in English. Although, you can often see both names-- this is why.

[@butterbuttersbetter3689]

Thank you for explaining this. It all (including the two versions of the English title) makes so much more sense now!💜

[@karodear]

@butterbuttersbetter3689 happy that my explanation could help! I love the chaos of this song, and I love that these brilliant dorks named a song after an anime 😁

For some context: South Korea has one of the highest suicide rates in the world & it's worst for adolescents & young adults. It's a, "developed," nation, but that development happened in a shockingly short span of time. Like a lot of wealthy countries, there's a vast gulf between rich & poor & enormous social & cultural pressure to achieve. In the U.S. we know that a lot of the educational system has become devoted to, "teaching for the test," i.e. entrance exams & SATs. In South Korea, multiply that trend by 10,000 and add (functionally mandatory), extracurricular activities and a limited number of slots at the three universities considered the best & you get a pressure cooker for children.

O!RUL8,2? is still in my Top 3 BTS albums. It has so many of my favorite songs. Coffee, If I Ruled the World, Attack on Bangtan, We On...bop after bop. It's so underrated but it's a whole classic. I'm so glad you enjoyed it! :)

[@ot7biasedmashups]

Agreed!!! Most Beautiful Moment in life pt. 2 & Wings will always be my top but O!RUL8,2? is so insanely good for their first comeback like wtf who even does that.

[@thothnthither]

man my freshman year of college O!RUL8,2? was on permanent loop and its still top tier

[@magdalenagabrowska8169]

Yes!

[@butterflysuki7772]

WE ON is probably one of my favorite underrated BTS songs! It's SO INSANELY GOOD!!!!!!!!!

[@marissamcwhiter9381]

You have to rally appreciate the risk they took in releasing N.O. I’m not sure if you are familiar with the school system in Korea. They go to school until around 2:30, then they go to an academy or study hall to get more schooling, if you are in your senior year you might even go to these study centres until late at night! It’s relentless pressure! So this song is quite bold for them to talk about in their second ep!

[@charnight181]

So happy to watch this for many reasons, but really, WE ON is, I believe, one of their most underrated songs, and one of my firm favorites.

[@Emi-bp4mn]

Mine, as well. It gets me every time I listen to it. It’s probably in my top 20 if not my top ten songs

[@belle_bunn7835]

paldogangsan is such a great song. like i cant imagine the grief of being one people but due to outside forces you get put on opposite sides. from what i hear from koreans is that unification is something they wish for so deeply. so profound

[@rachel-dc4ti]

n.o was one of the big reasons why i became a fan! i was 13-14 and school was becoming really hard on me

[@butterbuttersbetter3689]

I love how cleverly they link songs and albums together. The way the Outro both repeats lines/concepts from the preceding songs on the album and then leads directly into the theme (Skool Luv Affair) of the next album. And this carries forward in future albums too. Pure genius!

[@shockofthenew]

They honestly have one of the most cohesive, impressive discographies I've ever heard! There's such a clear sense of narrative, since they wrote about exactly what they were going through at each stage of their career/lives, and lyrically the amount of interconnected themes and metaphors which run throughout all the albums is amazing. They don't just put random call-backs to previous songs, they develop the ideas in interesting, satisfying ways as they gain new perspectives over time... These days it's rare to find mainstream artists who can even make a cohesive album, but with BTS there's so much I feel like you basically have to listen to their entire discography to get the full impact of their message!

[@maryannbaxter73]

It always amazes me how prophetic their song and lyrics were. They have many, many songs that literally predict BTS current state. Love it. Tell it to the universe (and work hard) and the universe will respond. I looooove Coffee. In some FESTAS and later lives they performed old songs. It is fantastic! I for sure would love a concert with all the B sides and old songs.

[@angel-ke9vs]

I love both versions 😍

[@emtmiray]

I love your reactions, especially to BTS’s albums! It’s so refreshing to see people genuinely appreciating real art and music like you do. Since you clearly vibe with artists who pour their souls into their work, I thought I’d recommend two incredible musicians I think you’d enjoy: DPR IAN and Tamino. DPR IAN’s music is like stepping into someone’s mind-it’s emotional, cinematic, and so raw. His songs often touch on mental health and self-discovery, and the visuals that go with them? Absolutely stunning. A lot of his work reflects his struggles with bipolar disorder and DID, which makes his storytelling so personal and deeply relatable. MITO represents his low periods, while Mr. Insanity embodies his manic states, and he visually brings them to life with stunning colour-coded aesthetics. His ability to turn such personal struggles into art is honestly brilliant, and it makes every song feel like part of a larger, beautifully crafted narrative. He’s got such a unique vibe; I think you’d be blown away. Tamino, though, is a whole other experience. His voice is hauntingly beautiful, and his music mixes indie with Middle Eastern influences in a way that feels almost otherworldly. Every song is packed with emotion, he’s the kind of artist who makes you just stop and feel. His lyrics are poetic and introspective, often exploring love, longing, and identity. Tamino’s music feels like stepping into an old soul’s world, where every note and word carries weight and meaning. I really hope you can see this comment, because I have been relating to you a lot while watching your reactions, and a part of me knows you will really enjoy these both artists! Wish you the best!

At 16:10 it Jhope growling!!! if you listen to tracks like bapsae or cyphers you can hear him doing a lot of adlibs backing vocals. Also in live performances he will quite often growl at the beginnings of songs. V also does it but the tone is different for songs like Jump or AOB!

[@crimsonrainsoughttheflower1976]

I've been a BTS fan for almost 11yrs now and there is not a single day where i don't hope for BTS to perform we on and coffee live so I totally understand your frustrations 😂

[@lelmdrWHO]

I love the song “coffee!” I always have, but even more so since I’ve worked as a a barista for the last 6 years 😝 They have performed it live in concert, but they probably perform it less because it’s actually a cover/remake. Coffee is originally an Urban Zapaka song. They are like a korean modern folk group. AMAZING singers. BTS changed the song to R&B and wrote original lyrics for pretty much all the rap parts. Another fun tid bit is that back in the day “We On” was also one of the boy’s favorite B-sides. I love the school era and “Dark and wild” era BTS!! I love all the eras (hyyh2 is my favorite album) but this is the music that made me a fan

[@charestriart]

The foreshadowing of this album is insane. The album name seems liek welcoming us from the future who exploring the debut era and met this album and say O, are you late ( knowing abt this beautiful album) too? That means they knew there will be alot of us will tracking backtime ❤❤❤ And yes, cofee is the best❤

It's even worse than that it's about the very heavy education system and values in the South Korea the pressure to get into the 3 main Universities S.K.Y are the first letters of those 3 Universities. It's about cram schools eg go to school then to a cram school get home at 10pm eat sleep get up and start the process all over again. Why because parents want their kids to get a government job with a good pension or work for one of the big major corporations. They also have the track 'No More Dream' where the education system and parents remove young people dreams. It's even worse as South Korea took over from Japan with the highest youth suicide rate in the world due to the pressure. Teacher's patrol roof's of schools in exam time's to stop students as young as 10years old from throwing themselves off school roofs.

Bang! Tan! So! Nyeon! Dan!"

With concerts it is simple as that- they have a huge catalog, and usually tour is bc on new album so they have setlist of new songs, they usually add like 1/3 of older dongs but it is still like 4 songs or soo so they choose ehat they think army really want to here and what they want to perform again and what they know is great in concerts.... It is simple as that, they only performed this dong on first tour. So you have to go back to old concerts to hear this songs.

Is music from younger artists inferior to older artists?

[@bimotok757]

Music is subjective. It depend of preferences and taste of the listener. But BTS lyric is the best, because it a poem with very deep meaning and talk about education system problem, social phenomenon, politics, mental health, etc that no one in kpop have a gut to talk about it. It have reference to philosopher, book, movie, Korean culture, etc. People who like art with high intellegence will like BTS songs lyric. The dumb only like their visual, personality, and fashion.
