BTS: Tiny Desk (Home) Concert

Stephen Thompson | Sept. 21, 2020
We've been trying to make a BTS Tiny Desk concert happen for years now - even gaming out ways we might move Bob Boilen's desk far enough forward to accommodate the superstar Korean boy band's dance moves.
In the end, it took a global pandemic - and the launch of Tiny Desk (home) concerts back in March - to make something happen. With BTS cooped up in Seoul, the group held true to the series's spirit by convening a live band for its Tiny Desk debut, and even arranged to perform in a workspace with a music-friendly backdrop: the record store VINYL & PLASTIC by Hyundai Card in BTS's hometown.
Opening with this summer's inescapable "Dynamite" - the group's first single to hit No. 1 in the U.S., as well as its first song to be fully recorded in English - BTS leaned hard into the new track's celebratory, "Uptown Funk"-adjacent vibes. From there, the group dipped into its back catalog, seizing on the opportunity to showcase its quieter side while (mostly) staying uncharacteristically seated. The breezily propulsive "Save ME," from 2016, ultimately gave way to a full-on power ballad in 2017's reflective "Spring Day."
The latter track seemed especially true to BTS's hopeful nature: Introduced with a few optimistic words from rapper and singer RM ("It's been the roughest summer ever, but we know that spring will come"), the song reflects on a need to wait out hard times, even as the weight of present-day pain feels oppressive.
BTS had intended to spend 2020 delighting the BTS Army in arenas around the world, only to spend these last few months performing in isolation. Released on the last day of a grim season, "Spring Day" provides a nice reminder of what awaits us on the other side. We just have to get through fall and winter first.

I'm watching this, as all of them are in their country's military (as of last week). Ending with Spring Day was, indeed, the best. Thank you Tiny Desk for this and stay safe BTS members. ARMY is proud of each of you and awaiting to see what this change in your life brings. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜🕊✌

[@sarasss137]

If you listen to our music without prejudices, you'll like it - SUGA, BTS

[@LadyFayeLovie]

The prejudice stems from the American media which insist on labeling BTS as just a boy band. We all know they’re far better than the West’s definition of a boy band. Makes me a bit resentful of the American media.

"Save Me" is my best song that i can keep going & i just simply miss my dad. Thank u BTS for keeping me going as u can. My dad passed away, so it is hard. Prayers with purple. And i am becoming one year anniversary of being the ARMY. THANK U BTS. PURPLE U FOR EACH OF U FOR MAKING THE DIFFERENCE FOR ALL OF US. SPRING DAY, HERE WE COME.

[@selvichandru8062]

I like how V sounds in save me.

[@tracyleesmith781]

I agree! Even tho I'm not biased but V is still amazing. I truly enjoyed his song "SLOW DANCING". He got that r&b groove feel that can take u back to the 90s & I love it! And I was raised in the 90s. I'm just blessed to hear his voice 🙏🏽

[@pogo3750]

Ok this is NOT what I expected from a kpop act, there's so much hype about their dancing skills that i never thought to see one on a Tiny Desk. But fair play to BTS, they do great even without the dancing, even if they're vibing on their own like the guy in the waistcoat and the blond guy in the floral shirt. The music itself holds up, respect to that. That last song is.... idk how it's mournful and hopeful all at once but even my cynical old carcass loves it. "It's been the roughest summer ever" You can say that again :/

[@pr7903]

The last song's vibe you completely got it without checking up Lyrics It is a mournful yet hopeful song, spring day

[@REEM-eh4tw]

bts are different from any other act they have their own thing especially their love for music

[@libby423]

The mv for the last song is on YT! BTS Spring Day.

[@bts-imfine3519]

You're actually spot on! It is, in a way, a mournful song about longing to see someone again and missing them terribly. There has been some implications that this song is about a horrible sea tragedy in South Korea where a lot of students died in 2014, but it was never really confirmed or denied. So South Koreans have, in a way, resonated with this song to help them mourn.

[@hyoyeonlee1164]

Whatever your music taste, they have so many songs that can fit. Their discography is so diverse, beyond what people think. They are truly talented. Even other musicians have SUGA (round glasses and orange pants) produce their songs.

@ŠTÆÑ BŁÁÇKPĮÑK TWĪĆÊ BTŚ DREAMCATCHER They are some personality types some characteristics: ENFPs use humor to make light of serious situations, whereas INFPs prefer to delve deeply into serious situations. ENFPs are deeply serious people at their core, but they feel protective of their deepest feelings and often make light of serious situations in order to avoid delving into them in the presence of others.

I'm not a BTS follower specifically, but I see them everywhere and the one thing that 100% draws me in every time I see this group is that authentic, infectious energy they have! It's not just that upbeat energy that has them jumping and dancing all around, though their ability to hype up an audience is unmatched! I'm talking about THEIR energy, the vibe between them. You can just feel it! This is a very talented and special group of guys that were just meant to find each other, you know what I mean? Their presence is just so sincere and pure and is such a genuine and endearing part of all of them.
