[@brayonne1755]

Somehow I think there's been a cross-wire glitch associating butter with the BU lol. The BU is the Bangtan Universe, a storyline that runs through a lot of their videos during the hyyh and Wings era. Jin is a pivotal character in the storyline for sure. If you get into it you'll notice he's always kind of apart from the others. The BU starts with I Need You, then onstage prologue (a short film with Butterfly as the soundtrack), then Run (not to be confused with Run BTS) and Young Forever. Those are the 4 main videos in order but there is literally a crap ton of content that attaches to the BU. Begin, Lie, Stigma, Reflection, Awake, MAMA, First Love, fake love, it's neverending, there are webtoons etc. Butter is just a (Grammy-nominated) feel good pandemic cheer up summer song 👍💜

You already watched the pre-release single “Set Me Free Pt.2” of Jimin's album "Face,” actually the album has been released, and the main track is "Like Crazy." I think it's a very perfect time to watch it before you continue watching the band's work. "Like Crazy" has been shown on Jimmy Fallon’s "Tonight Show," So, there’s the official MV & Live performance.

[@BetterGreta13]

Butter really put them on the map in the United States, even though they had been a global sensation for years before this song came out. It's a very good vibe, though, and it drew a lot of people to BTS! When they performed it at the Grammys last year, they were just incredible, and they should have won for Best Duo/Group, but they didn't...and a lot of people felt it was because of the Grammys inherent prejudice toward Asian acts. I won't speak on that, but I do love this video and am glad you're reacting to it! LOVE those stylish dance moves! As always, I hope you will react to Blood, Sweat, and Tears soon! (Butter is definitely a "feel good" song summer song!)

[@amberpearce710]

Grammy is prejudice against anyone that isn’t in the social circles

[@susanhill2110]

Sorry but they were global sensations without being on the US radar, why is it that bands, singers, actors only have worth when Americans notice them. Some of the best singers, actors, dancers, bands have come out of other countries besides America but there’s this need to get American approval 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@amberpearce710]

@@susanhill2110 I totally understand and agree. Unfortunately the USA became the biggest market (and the hardest to get into unfortunately). Idk about actors but the music industry is almost double the amount of the second biggest music market which is Japan. Because USA is the biggest music market, if you are big in the USA you are more likely to be famous in the other music industries around the world, but it doesn’t really work that way the other way around (except for a few exceptions). If you are big is the East it is a lot harder to get into the western music industry. Do I personally believe that means the best is always I n the USA? No, but unfortunately it is how it is. Do I think they need western approval? No.

[@NanciBK]

It’s not the social circles, it’s the pay-to-play music industry. BTS have always been industry outsiders from a small, independent label that was founded on working counter to the industry narrative. The music industry hates that everywhere, not just in Korea. It’s bad for their business model and outside their control. BTS are self made using social media. That’s bad news for the narrative the big labels have been feeding their shareholders for years. Plus they were from the bottom of the hierarchy, so how dare they? The racism and xenophobia are also a big issue outside Asia. Even the guy who does Grammy’s social media was complaining about the pushback he got from his bosses on Asian artists and Asian interviews and BTS in particular giving the “wrong look” to their social media.

[@ArtsyMario]

I'm happy that you are enjoying BTS! They are such unique and amazing men. If you want to see them more like themselves outside of performing music, you should watch RUN BTS. Its their variety show where they do fun games and challenges, basically them act like themselves and you will learn from it how CHAOTIC they can be, but in a fun way. :)

[@nickforell1]

Loving them so far. RUN BTS has been suggested a lot so I'm keen

[@joetastic7287]

BTS is definitely KPop. They have transcended it in terms of music but they are very much part of the KPop industry and they are considered 'idols" (in fact the ultimate idols). I think they have received more KPop awards than anyone else in history. They were a big presence at KPop music awards and performance shows for years, and were excited to be so.

[@nickforell1]

Well, I get corrected a lot in the comments for even saying K pop. That's why I phrase it the way I do. But thank you!

[@NanciBK]

They are now the most awarded artists in the history of music globally, not just in KPop. And that’s while still being snubbed by the Grammys. And they are just getting started.

[@joetastic7287]

Yes of course, but their origin is and always will be KPop. People who say otherwise don't understand their journey.

[@beckyweech1969]

“Don’t need no Usher to remind me you got it bad”. Usher is capitalized because it’s referring to the artist and his two singles “U Remind Me” and “U Got it Bad” V sings this line as he steps into the elevator. They’re humility comes through with paying tribute to other artists and always thanking everyone who helps them, especially each other and RM!!

[@anitaherbert1037]

I love all their work in every genre. BTS make the ' Jack of all trades master of non' a falsity. You can excel in mutiple arenas. You just have to work as hard as BTS for 10 years...and oh .. start of with buckets of talent.

You should check out the NPR Tiny Desk they did. It’s a nice focus on their live singing and really shows up close their natural charisma. Also it’s a good selection of their songs.

[@nickforell1]

I will definitely get to that because many people have been saying its a must

[@amazonbookworm1154]

I don't really care for their full English songs, if I'm being completely honest. I get why they did it, buy I've been a fan for too long and prefer their Korean music any day. Since you're still getting into them, I think going back to the beginning will help you love them even more. You see how much they've grown as artists and as people. I got into them in 2014 when I first heard their prerelease Let Me Know from their Dark & Wild album, which is still my favorite full album of theirs. I'd heard Boys In Luv, but it wasn't my taste. Let Me Know opened my eyes to their talent and here I am, 9 years later. 😊 I've been blessed to see them live twice. 2017 was amazing, but when I saw them in 2015, they were still small and pretty unknown. Very small venue, so it felt more intimate. And they played my absolute favorite songs which they haven't really done in concert since. You also can't go wrong with their Bangtan Bombs and their dance practices. Have fun! 😊

[@nickforell1]

Yes, I'm so new so I'm just bouncing around but I feel like I can't go wrong with them. So far, I completely agree. I've enjoyed their non-english songs way more

[@amazonbookworm1154]

@@nickforell1 I really do recommend going back to the beginning now that you've gotten a taste of them now. The dance practice to Danger is the first one I show newbies because it is so good. Their MVs are amazing, but the dance practices really show their talent. Jin & RM have been getting teased for years that they aren't as good of dancers as the dance line, which is infuriating because they may not be at Hobi, Jimin or JKs level, but they can hold their own and have since the beginning. I'd love to walk you thru more of a comprehensive look into some of their stuff. If you ever wanted to do something like that, I volunteer. 😁 I wish I'd had someone to hold my hand when I first got into kpop. It's why I always offer people who are new into it a helping hand, because I know how overwhelming it is and how it can make you feel lost and even a little alone. Especially once you start getting into the more toxic side of it all.

[@rebeccabuxton1324]

Slight confusion. Butter is not part of the BU. The 3 fully English songs were not deep, just meant to bring ARMY joy and fun, and a but of hope during the pandemic and as we were coming out of restrictions. Watch the Butter grammy performance, you will be blown away, then watch the Butter Hotter Remix (paying careful attention to the people in the background) to see why ARMY love these men 😂💜

[@mhecyeuh3080]

Butter is their second full English track. The 3rd was Permission to Dance which was written by Ed Sheeran and was given to BTS as a gift.

[@NanciBK]

I wouldn’t say their influence “ends” so much as that even the insanely talented and genius workaholics that they are cannot do absolutely everything themselves. They have help from stylists, choreographers, writers, directors, etc. They get suggestions, themes, scripts, that they go over, but those things often start from their own ideas and are delegated for exploration and fleshing out and then brought back to them. But the choices are theirs. They narrative is theirs. Their label and Bang PD prized their artistic freedom and authentic voices from the start. That was his genius and his vision: finding talent and fostering them to get their authentic art out there. He is a different kind of guy, a producer who was willing to go broke over and over and struggle and suffer to stay true to the art. The songs are theirs too of course or, on occasion, ones they choose to do that are sent to them.

[@SknezE]

Yeah they did Dynamite, Butter, and Permission to Dance during Covid to lighten up the mood. And it gave them a chance to play around with English. But, their Korean stuff is the best. I do love all three of these songs though. You can't not get up and dance to this.

[@nickforell1]

I prefer the Korean stuff too!

[@daniellehughes588]

Speaking of high like the moon, NASA did a contest to find what songs they should play during the mission to the moon. ARMY worked their butt off nominating BTS songs. Because of them when NASA sends Artemis II to the moon the astronauts will play 3 BTS songs. “Moonchild," "Mikrokosmos" and "134340" “Dynamite” will also be played in outer space during a Korea space mission.

[@prince_chavv02]

Awesome reaction, Nick! Yes, Butter is the 2nd full-english track that BTS released. Riding on the high of Dynamite, and coming 6 months after their quarantine comfort album BE (Dynamite was a single for that album), Butter was definitely another song to hype up all listeners and ARMY, while also allowing BTS themselves to flex and show the music industry that there is never a "one-hit" when it comes to BTS. Just 2 months later, the boys would drop their third english single 'Permission to Dance' a song more tonally similar to Dynamite, made to give the world hope amidst Covid concerns and isolation-based negative emotions. Hope that you can check it out soon!!

[@nickforell1]

I will definitely try Permission to Dance. Thank you for the insight!

Wait until you get to meet them off scen, like in Run BTS, In the Soop or Bon Voyage. They are true comedians to. And the most humble sweetest humans ever. Can also recommend their 3 Films and documenteries about their tours. And the collab with Coldplay and the video from making of. You then really get to know them.

[@anitaherbert1037]

They have more control of the visuals on their solo work. Though they are always free to make suggestions or give hard nos. Though on the whole they are hard working and make it work.

[@heesuh9505]

All their 3 English songs are pop songs and yes, make the listeners feel good songs. The 3rd one, Permission to Dance, has sign language in their dance routin so even people who can't hear music can join and dance with everybody.

[@amberpearce710]

I am going to be the odd ARMY out here that actually love their English songs. I personally find them amazing songs to put you in a perfect mood (isn’t that what music suppose to do??). I personally find it kind of sad how people are prejudice against BTS three full English songs. I get what people say but still. While their Korean and Japanese songs are amazing and have deeper and wonderful messages I think a big part of ARMY devalue these songs. Personally I don’t think every song out their needs to be deep, honestly sometimes the songs that aren’t super deep are some of the most healing and best songs for a certain time. In my opinion, personally think these three English songs did it for so many people (even those that aren’t ARMY). Also just because a few songs aren’t written by then doesn’t make them any less bad. A great artists knows when he finds a good beat and knows when it is time to be deep or not…Also their is always at least one line in any song of theirs, even their full English songs, that has a message in it….Anyways this is my personal opinion and I love Butter. (And the rest of their English songs)..,, Thanks for reacting!!💜💜

[@littlwnderwoman563]

A lot of the songs that they did during the pandemic were upbeat and energy makers, as their gift to ARMY during difficult times.

[@addison5938]

Actually just to clear up a little something that you mentioned. They are actually K-pop. It's just at K-pop is not a genre in and of itself. K-pop originated in the west as a term to describe Korean popular music which comprises many different genres. Part of the uniqueness of BTS is that they actually have music in many different genres. More so than many other K-Pop groups. Therefore they transcend what most people consider K-Pop.

[@nickforell1]

[@vicnovis6869]

@@nickforell1 If I may jump in here? 😅 I think it’s easiest to view the term ‘Kpop’ in discussion, as an term comparable to ‘Hollywood’. It’s almost as big; just with music agencies instead of studios. We all know what a Hollywood movie is, but within that are so many genres. So yes, BTS are inextricably linked to the kpop tag but because they are so versatile, experimental and fundamentally talented musicians (not just mouthpieces for songs) it can sometimes grate on fans for them to be lumped in with whatever pop music style is currently trending for almost every band in South Korea atm. Because BTS has faced so much western dismissal and journalistic hubris, us Armys almost immediately strive to separate them from that label; sometimes very confusingly! It’s a very nuanced conversation! Especially as BTS members are seemingly accepting of the ‘idol’ name, despite their history and personal musical inspirations. Sorry if we come across so intensely! You’re doing amazing. Keep up the great reactions, we’re happy to have you with us 💜

producer is preparing everything together with staff, but members are also involved, if the have other ideas they are free to propose. as far as i know Jin on a drunk show (btw, you can react to it too, it is hillarious) said that designers love him because he is accepting everyhting what they offer him because he thinks he doesnt understand fashion

[@meemac4709]

When BTS started, they would do their own stuff. Note that before their debute, they were trained for 2 years by local expert Idol trainers, except for Jimin who came in late and trained only for 6months after Bighit had to fill-in one more member to bring out the lucky charm in them. After winning the MAMA's New Artist Award in 2014, they were rewarded to appear in a reality tv show American Hassle Life to enable them train on beciming HipHop Artists. During that period, Bang PD took such opportunity to get trainings for BTS in US while making their then upcoming Album Danger. In 2015, they produced and released 'I Need You" which changed everything. It was sold out more 10 times of BH's expectation due to demands from US Market. Therafter, BigHit started to invest in BTS by hiring only the best of the bests choreographers, voice coaches, musical bands and producers from the US. Since the Boys became busy with tours, they started hiring thr best of the growing song writers and producers according to RM. In wrting songs, it's RM who is responsible in translating songs written in English to Korean and then gets the approval of the members before he sends back the final translation to the Company's artistic managers. After the first renewal of their 7 year contract with Bighit, their voice became biggers as they praticipate in making decisions as to their art, music, performances and choice of fashion brands, including in voicing out their united stand against aggressors bullies, racism, zenophobia and social injustices, by being able to choose directors, song writters or producers, choregraphers and dancers or dance company and, once they have chosen and hired one, BTS rest their respect and trust in them. Moreover, they were alliowed to freely produce their own solo or unit projects and, sometimes, work outside the company provided they still carry their band name. Like Jin, V and Jimin had OST's that were produced by other labels outside BigHit or Hybe.

It's one of 3 only full English songs that was to cheer people up due to Covid, very pop like, they are to get us dancing and enjoying life. Jin has solo's within BTS albums so it's not the first time he's been centre stage. All BTS members have solo work within BTS albums and outside of BTS. They are multi genre group but based in Hip Hop and they are not afraid to mix genre's. Welcome to the Rabbit Hole (warren as we say in the UK)

[@brjh8770]

I agree with what several people have said. While it’s hard not to like Dynamite, Butter and Permission to Dance (they’re all catchy and served their purpose of cheering everyone up), I personally prefer their non-English songs way more. The 3 English songs gave them somewhat of an identity crisis as a band, and they were a little lost direction-wise after their releases. RM speaks about this identity crisis at their 2022 Festa dinner (their annual anniversary dinner with ARMYs). This is also when they announced they were taking a break as a group to focus on solo work (and for their military enlistments, but we didn’t know that at the time). But I guess this is part of the reason for my slight bias against these songs (but I still have them all on my playlist…lol).

[@minkeytalk1769]

This version is just a good poppy and catchy song. The 64th Grammy performance is one of the best performances of butter. BTS took the world globally with their Korean songs, the English songs came about partly due to the US would not play their songs on US a radio. RM himself said they were not that comfortable with the English songs because they lost their direction a bit. Having said that a lot of new fans were created by the English songs, but most ARMY will tell you they prefer the Korean language songs because they are much deeper and a lot more interesting ( music wise.)

Here is the link kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYXPp2iVd9hrl9k And there is always "Idol" and its crazy visual stimulation kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYXPp2iVd9hrl9k There is also a video to explain the references of certain words in the Korean language and the symbolism, its here kzbin.info/www/bejne/f32agXigoJajr9U or "Blood Sweat & Tears" in which Jin does carry the story line but vocals are still pretty much divided as usual kzbin.info/www/bejne/np6oapljiaqoqsU There is not a shortage and each one will not fail to surprise you. Enjoy the journey.

Yes, no particular message, just feel good. All in English for the US market. Hard to believe you have never heard this before. Why not watch Festa room live 2021, a medley of a lot of different songs.

Hi Judy, thanks for the support :)

[@katherineann8463]

They have stylists who do the outfits, hair, and makeup, even for things like interviews. They have some very distinctive looks in this 11-minute video: Vanity Fair interview: BTS Breaks Down Their Music Career: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y6Ocm3iNqLaejtU Wardrobe, personalities, and their history in their own words! Note: Suga was out because of shoulder surgery. The award at Billboard in 2017 was for Top Social Artist (engagement on social media), which they have won every year since then. It is fan-voted, so of course BTS gave credit to ARMY. 🙂

[@MinSung931]

I love the beat of the beat of this as it gives me queen vibes. It's so so cute and such a beautiful song and it's also got that sexy vibe to it aswell. I couldn't stop smiling at it as the song is so catchy and I now have the chorus stuck in my head. The vocals are amazing and the raps omg I love then so much. And omg the styles are amazing they look amazing in what wver they wear. The MV itself is amazing as ever and the choreo is on point like always. I literally have no words how I'm feeling right now but all I know is this entire MV and song is making me smile and feel so happy. Also Yoongi, Jin (my ult bias wreckers) and Jimin (my ult bias) just stole my heart in this song and MV. Let's "Get it, Let it roll" Also it took my 4 days to learn the entire song of by heart

[@nickforell1]

Good call on the Queen vibes =)

[@lyalways8612]

Also, technically, since the BTS members actively work on their group and sub-unit songs together, and have solo songs within the group's discography and have dropped solo work on the side over the years already, they haven't really been holding back on themselves so much, it's just that now that they've officially taken a break from the group, they have more time to work on more of their own stuff. I feel like every time a BTS member has dropped a new solo work, they've said "this is me until now" or "this is what I've been thinking about recently" or "this is what I wanted to tell you at this moment". That being said, their solo work is, I think, very distinguishable from their group songs. It's so interesting how every time they give us something new individually, it's a new side of them that we see, but still so noticeably them based on what we've already seen. Idk, I feel like it's hard to explain😅

[@nickforell1]

This was a great and thorough explanation about how they have approached work. Thank you :)

[@rgober60]

You should watch their biography and really learn how long they have been working. They started back in 2013. If you want their solo stuff watch Vibe ...its Jimin and a friend Taeyuong who was an idol from years ago and still sings. Thank you for reacting so nice to our young men. They can still use all the love they can get!! Army forever!! ❤❤💜💜💜💜💜💜💜❤️❤️

Hi Gail, I will check vibe out. I did react to Taylors guide but will do more biographies

[@alipotter0613]

Think there is some confusion. Jin has not taken centre stage in this track. The vocalists all pretty much get an equal feature, the rappers a bit less. Watch the 64th Grammy performance. You may enjoy information video, The most beautiful life goes on, The story of BTS (updated ver) by Rice Squad channel. It explains their rise up the industry.💜

[@nickforell1]

Yes, I have been informed =) I will definitely be watching those

[@sherimosher3216]

You asked for suggestions so here you go. I would suggest you watch the lyrical video so you know what the song is about, the dance practice, movie video and a live performance. This should get you started and other ARMY's will have suggestions for you as well. - Butter Performance at the Grammys - 2019 MMA Performance - The Rise of Bangtan - There are 21 chapters but it's so worth your time. It's an incredible series! You will learn the history of K-pop, see the BTS journey from before debut to now, and learn why ARMY is so protective of BTS. - J-Hope's performance at Lollapalooza - Jimin's Set Me Free -Jimin's Like Crazy - Dope - DNA - Fake Love - Blood Sweat and Tears - Danger - Fire - On - Attack on Bangtan - 21st Century Girl - War of Hormones

[@georgiana3112]

I can't wait for you to get to their deeper songs/lyrics, and also their live performances. It would be nice for you to see a music video or lyrics video if there is no MV followed by the live performance. I think you'll like Blood Sweat and Tears, Fake Love, Life Goes On, and from their earlier stuff -N.O., Dope, Fire, Not Today. I know many recommended Tiny Desk Concert and Festa Room Live 2021, it would be great to start with those imo.

[@nickforell1]

Thank you Georgiana, I do want to do the tiny desk concert :)

Beautifull story of BTS by Ricesquad is another docu video about all of their achievements, music, albums, coming up, coming together. Very insightfull video Just to get a taste of their rise to Fame and becoming nr 1 in the world 🤯🤯👌👌💜💜

[@lyalways8612]

Most ARMYs love their English songs despite these particular songs' lack in lyrical depth because they're bops, sure, but also because of the intentions behind the releases. The intent behind a song can be just as powerful and meaningful as the words of a song. Of the three, I'm especially attached to Dynamite, as it came out in peak uncertainty-and-confusion-and-scary-pandemic season and it brought me so much needed brightness at the time. I know there are ARMYs who like to dismiss these songs because we're so used to seeing BTS be more actively involved in the creation of the song and the depth that brings, but personally, I think their English trilogy is *very* in character for BTS, just in another way. Dynamite, Butter, and Permission To Dance may not have many layers in the lyrics, but the fact that the guys, who were just as much at a loss of what to do as everyone else during that time, decided to give us these three easy, light songs (and also BE, an album of songs describing their own experiences of the pandemic) because they really wanted to help us feel even just a little better and giving us music was the only way they knew how to do that *is every bit as typical of BTS as having deep lyrics and writing credits* . Also, the guys used their videos to add layers to these releases. There are many references to MJ in Dynamite, for example, in Butter they not only reference ARMY but also spell the name, and the PTD video is basically about the pandemic experience finally coming closer to an end. BE and the English Trilogy was an era of BTS that was very bright and successful, despite existing because of and through a pandemic, and it introduced a lot of new people to BTS. It's an era any ARMY who was there at the time will deeply appreciate, regardless of how often they play the English songs💜

[@shengsvlog9939]

Actually, visuals, fashion, looks very important factors in becoming a KPop idol. They are not considered real artists because they don't write and produce their own music. What makes BTS different from others is their freedom of expression in their music, lyrics and artistry. They are talented artists. Believe or not, RM, Jhope and Jimin used get a lot of hate due to how they look. Many fans didn't think they pass the standard of KPop idol beauties. Jimin had to go on extreme diets eating only one meal a day because he used to have a chubby face and he passed out during rehearsals. RM received hate comments for having tan skin. #kickoutJhope trended on twitter calling him ugly and untalented.

[@vianap1560]

Thanks for watching ... I love your reactions ...

[@nickforell1]

Thank you Viana, i will!

[@Scynful]

Gonna agree with lots of other commenters saying that their English songs are... just okay. Actually, Dynamite and Butter are fine. They're super catchy and I enjoy them.. it's just that they're throwaway hits designed for the chart, so they lack all the depth and meaning that we're used to getting from BTS. Permission to Dance, on the other hand... is just really bad. I know it was co-written for them by Ed Sheeran among others... but it sounds like a Kidz Bop song, and it's just... boring. Even the choreography and the styling in the video are awful (well, the sign language at the end of the video is cute, I guess). Can't say I'm particularly looking forward to that reaction. But I will continue to watch, because I appreciate you appreciating the boys!

[@nickforell1]

I completely agree, I have been enjoying the non-english versions much more

[@LPnerd]

feel good song during Covid. also, I think the Grammy performance of this song is by far the best IMHO. Probably because when they shot this it was with minimal crew due to covid. Like Jin says, They wear what they are given, LOL> same with hair etc. Now they are taking a little more charge but they have a wardrobe dept. In fact you maybe should have watched them both now. LOL. they spelled ARMY did you miss that?

[@georgiana3112]

I love BTS but from their huge discography , the 3 english songs are my least favourites unfortunatelly... just personal taste. Cute, feel good songs, but can't compare to their korean music. So I can't wait for you to get to that part, the deeper messages and stuff 🙂. (I suppose you were curious to listen first to the songs where you can understand the language)

[@amberpearce710]

Sorry for so many comments. I would say for the most part they don’t choose their clothes they were (even hair color sometimes). However like always I think they do have a say. Their have been a couple times that BTS have take ARMY suggestions and done them also another example is for Dynamite video V got to pick out what sun glasses he wanted. I think for the most part they don’t choose because they have stylists but for small items they can have a say.

[@georgiana3112]

I actually think they have a say in everything, I' m sure they are given options and can reject any item they don t find ok. They have stylists because it would be hard to create a choesive image the takes into account each member style without help.

[@lealarsen2017]

BTS don´t make their own choreo they have someone outside make one for them. because if they did it all there would not be enough time. they have stylists who work on their looks and themes. but they choose a certain look or style they want to wear for that performance. and even the songs they get that they write lyrics for is approved by bts themself. and if one member is not all that happy about an outfit or something, they alter it. so they make every decision. but they have worked with the same people since 2013 so they know the memebers personally. and know what style they like and find something like that. Jin is actually the most easy member to please for the stylists. he wear whatever they bring to him hehe. J-hope might be the hardest to please Also V because they love fashion. j-hope is baggy jeans and colorful outfits. V looks like a vintage dude he is very old fashioned.

[@Kauritree08]

The English songs are not my favorite. It took me a long time to be friends with Dynamite due to it's poppy nature and lack of Jin. I do really like the AGT performance. Still can't stand Permission To Dance (I only like the R&B version) but I do like the message and RM's hair (A... mazing). But I'm really good mates with Butter. More Jin, catchy tune, love V in Orange, love the members various hair colours, shout out to ARMY, and it's a super smooth video.
