On a whim, I decided to give BTS a listen one day. And now I have dived in deeper than I ever expected. So here we are, full ARMY, and doing a BTS tag.
When did you discover BTS?
Late 2019. I was aware of their existence before but I started listening when I noticed that both they and Lauv, who I already listened to, both did Make It Right.
Who was your first bias?
RM. He was the first I could always identify in their music and him being so fluent in English surprised me.
Who is your current bias?
Still RM. Without him, there would be no BTS and so many of the songs they have wouldn’t exist without him. Seriously, go see just how often he is a credited writer. He is also ridiculously smart and well-spoken and a great leader.
Who is your bias wrecker?
I originally wasn’t going to include this as a question, but since it is quite a common one in K-pop tags, and because I have now figured out who mine is, I added it back in. And my bias wrecker is absolutely Jimin. That boy is so talented and adorable and should be protected at all costs.
What are your top 5 favorite songs?
These will be in no particular order and also so hard. I have a whole playlist of favorites.
- Mic Drop (Steve Aoki Remix)
- Dope
- ON
- Blood Sweat & Tears
- Not Today
What is your favorite solo song?
Every BTS member has at least one solo song, although I am pretty sure they all have more than one. Some are on their normal albums and others have independent mixtapes and singles. Anyway, my favorite is currently Serendipity by Jimin. I can listen to this one on repeat for hours. Lie which is also by Jimin is a favorite too.
What is your favorite music video?
I’ve never been a big music video person myself with any group in any genre. But the Blood Sweat and Tears video is pretty awesome. It’s artistically interesting. Plus the symbolism is mindblowing. Plus plus we got the above iconic Jimin moment out of it.
What is your favorite choreography?
This is probably harder than choosing favorite songs since I used to be a dancer. I also think BTS has the best choreography out of all of the Kpop I’ve seen and so many groups don’t even come close to their talent in that regard. Also, the fact that some of the members had zero dance experience going into training is baffling to me with how difficult and well done their choreography is. The first one that comes to mind though is IDOL. IDOL’s choreography is always impressive to me. But go watch all their dance practices cause they’re so talented.
Who is your favorite vocalist?
I enjoy Jimin’s vocals the most. It stands out. I did have to dive into their solo songs to really decide though as Jungkook is a close second. Jungkook is arguably the best vocalist, which makes sense since he is their main one, but I prefer Jimin’s vocals more.
Who is your favorite rapper?
Definitely RM. I was already biased. And I enjoy his mix tapes the most.
Who is your favorite dancer?
Hands down Jimin. His solo in Black Swan alone is amazing. Plus his training in contemporary dance makes him unique.
What is your favorite BTS era?
The Wings era is my favorite. It has both Blood Sweat and Tears and Not Today. And it has a ton of BU lore in it.
Have you seen any of their other projects? (Run BTS, BTS Gayo, BT21, BTS World, etc.)
I’ve been watching Run BTS, which is a variety web series where they do various challenges like bungee jumping, cooking, and various games. It’s honestly so funny and is all up on their V Live. I’ve also tried playing BTS World and it is just too cheesy to me.
Do you keep up with BU?
I fell into the BU, BTS Universe or Bangtan Universe, on accident and now I am hooked. I’ve read both Save Me and The Most Beautiful Moments in Life: The Notes 1, as well as watched all the music videos and short films associated. It is definitely a fascinating and perplexing thing. If you haven’t explored the BU yet, I wrote a beginner’s guide that tells you how to get into it.
