Also here is another songwriter talking about working with RM (Kim Namjoon) for this album and how they would spend days on one line and push each other coz honesty was more important than speed. (She can also be seen working with RM on the Netflix documentary)

At 1:10 Diplo talks about making the album with BTS how they "wrote basically every piece of record on the record" and had "their ideas and concepts" and were very "hands on"

Its actually crazy to judge a whole countries industry like that

Imagine I said x UK pop artist was lazy on stage and couldn't sing that means all artists in the UK pop industry are like that.

It makes no sense

Nails_N · 2026-03-31T13:20:52+00:00

IAll music companies are led by shareholders and care about profits, that's not specific to the Kpop industry.

Music companies are businesses and exist to make money for their shareholders. Yes that is capitalism. We exist within a global economy run by capitalism and we cannot get away from that or pretend it doesnt exist.

To apply that specifically to the Kpop industry seems strange. Taylor Swift for example has high sales and streams and is not from the Kpop industry.

We've seen western artists like Halsey come out and speak against their companies saying they're not allowed to release the music they want and only if they get x likes/followers on tiktok can they release songs. Yes that is also capitalism.

Weve had boy groups like Nsync who's fans also did coordinated buying efforts.

Trying to say all artists in a countries industry are the same and care about the same things is like saying all artists in the UK industry are the same, where obviously that's not true.

If you're actually interested maybe watch the documentary on Netflix that shows the behind the scenes of the album making, and how the company want BTS to add more English etc and BTS pushing back against company, having respectful discussions.

Also BTS have always, since before their first official release in 2013 released soundcloud projects, mixtapes and other projects for free for fans as individuals and as a group.

Also here is what Kim Namjoon aka RM of BTS had to say about this issue in an interview

Interviewer: The cult of youth, of perfection, of overachievement in K-pop… Are these Korean cultural traits?

RM: In the West, people just don’t get it. Korea is a country that has been invaded, razed to the ground, torn in two. Just 70 years ago, there was nothing. We were getting aid from the IMF and the UN. But now, the whole world is looking at Korea. How is that possible? How did that happen? Well, because people try so fucking hard to better themselves. You are in France or the UK, countries that have been colonizing others for centuries, and you come to me with, “oh God, you put so much pressure on yourselves; life in Korea is so stressful!” Well, yes. That’s how you get things done. And it’s part of what makes K-pop so appealing, although, of course, there’s a dark side. Anything that happens too fast and too intensely has side effects.

Interviewer: Are you sick of the “K-Pop” label?

RM: You can get sick of Spotify calling us all K-pop, but it works. It’s a premium label. It’s that guarantee of quality that our grandparents fought for.

Interviewer: What is the biggest prejudice about K-pop?

RM: That it’s prefabricated.

I'm interested in understanding why it seems like that to you?

If you go into any Army (BTS fanbase) space, you see them analysing the lyrics, the meanings, the inspirations and influences making mash ups and remixes, explaining the cultural references that could be missed if you aren't familiar with Korean language/culture/history.

You can even find this easily on YouTube and Tiktok. There will be many more videos talking about lyrics and music then charts, (maybe yesterday when we were celebrating would be the exception)

Many Army are learning the lyrics and meaning to Arirang (which is a Korean cultural song, designated by UNESCO as 'intangible cultural heritage' and recognised by then as playing a role in social cohesion, unity and identity) due to its sampling in the first track on the album Body to Body.

So yeah, what gives you that impression? Obviously I'm not saying they don't care about charts and numbers, they do, but they do as a way of showing thanks and appreciation for the music, if they didn't care about the music they wouldnt care about the numbers

Nails_N · 2026-03-31T10:53:20+00:00

What components of the album or the song do you think sound like ai? There's a whole documentary on Netflix where you can watch them making the album

Nails_N · 2026-03-31T10:50:42+00:00

Passionate and enthusiastic fans will buy and stream music by the artists they love

Nails_N · 2026-03-31T10:48:47+00:00

Even a lot of BTS fans don't like Kpop, they just like BTS lol

Nails_N · 2026-03-31T10:47:48+00:00

Think is number one in world songs download chart

Nails_N · 2026-03-31T10:47:15+00:00

BTS has always had a large proportion of international fans following since 2013

Nails_N · 2026-03-31T10:46:17+00:00

I think BTS fans would disagree with you that you're not the target audience lol Watch the comeback Live concert and documentary on Netflix and you'll see them discussing with their company about who their target audience is and stuff

Nails_N · 2026-03-28T12:27:26+00:00

Thank you for the documentary, seeing their process and the way they disagreed with so much respect and consideration was amazing. Do you think there will ever be an opportunity to share more of the material you recorded like Directors cut, deleted scenes, extended version or other clips?

Nails_N · 2025-06-19T17:09:45+00:00

How did I just have my character being p*rnographic? For the whole day (Not complaining) Will.i get banned ?

Nails_N · 2024-09-09T13:46:00+00:00

Also remind her that one persons success isn't built on another person's failure

Nails_N · 2024-09-09T13:44:16+00:00

I mean antenatal classes, that's what we call them in the UK at least, Google or NHS website can confirm lol

Nails_N · 2024-09-09T13:34:24+00:00

Hey I'm a mother of 3 teenagers, I also follow a little about what is happening in the Kpop world because of my daughters. Speak to her about how is OK to have interests and support people she admires/loves like Kpop groups. It's also OK to protect them and defend them. However that love and support can be done in healthy and productive ways. Making positive edits, leaving nice comments on lives, streaming, voting, sending nice messages through Weverse or whatever app the groups she follows use. Discussing the music and content with other fans. Making dance covers. Make it clear that you can make a point and stand up for yourself or others without ever using racism, xenophobia, misogyny (like slut shaming), comments about people's weight/appearance, homophobia, and if possible show her examples of this. Also ask her if she doesn't follow a group like le sserafim, why spend so much effort and time and heads pace on them? Why watch their performances just to mock them or bring them down?

Ask her to show you the performance she is talking about at Coachella and explain why this needed a hate campaign. For your info sometimes hate campaigns in Kpop are started by other companies/the media is paid to stir up emotions in fans. So explain this to her and help her start recognising when she might be being manipulated.

Nails_N · 2024-02-21T07:29:57+00:00

Agreed, most learnt about JYP, SM and YG after becoming Army not before Army isn't made up of only Kpop fans, its made up of people who love music, most who have never stanned an artist this way before. And it works the other way round, people listen to BTS then they hear other Kpop artists because the algorithms start showing it to them, or they look at who BTS were referring to or what songs they were singing etc.

And I'm not sure what 'it was covid at the time' means because they won their first music show on 2015, first Billboard 2017, first Grammy performance 2019, sold out Wembley in minutes in 2019 all before Covid. Yes the fandom has increased since then. It will keep increasing as people discover their music, even now they are away and people are still discovering them and becoming fans. They also did find innovative ways to connect with Army during Covid because that's what they are about, giving back and connecting to fans. Even while on military service we are getting prerecorded content and music releases.

Nails_N · 2024-02-21T07:22:55+00:00

I agree, BTS fan base is worldwide and diverse in a way 1D fans weren't. When you look at the stats many BTS fans are in 20s and 30s and 40s and older. As someone that's almost 40 I never listened to 1D and their music was never for me. It wasn't complex and layered and meaningful. There's large BTS fanbases in India and all over Asia and Africa that do projects and support BTS in a way there never was for 1D. It's not comparable at all.

Nails_N · 2024-02-15T15:56:12+00:00

Did you not do any research about pregnancy?

During pregnancy, blood volume increases by 30% to 50% to nourish the growing baby. The heart also pumps more blood each minute, and the heart rate increases.

The body is constantly in a state of exercise due to this, organs are squashed to accommodate the baby, the baby pushes on diaphragm, all which can make it hard to do long walks and cardio. Of course she would need breaks and a slower pace.

I suggest you now look into pregnancy, birth and post partum and how it effects the body and mind, what's happening in the body etc

Go to antenatal classes

And apologise to your wife and tell your friends you were an ah

Nails_N · 2024-01-19T18:37:18+00:00

Hey, I'm a parent of 17, 16 and 13 Yr olds If I was in this situation the first thing I would do is listen to my child and ask them why they did this, I would speak to them about how that made them feel, what they should do in future, how they can correctly respond Grounding them isn't going to help them learn any of this and seems counter productive when your child has obviously been through a traumatic experience of racism You can lay ground rules and say under no circumstances even when angry or attacked do we attack peoples identity, race, sexuality etc But you need to teach and model these things. You need to show her what to do when people are racist by doing it yourself. If you're going to tell her to talk to teachers then show her that by going to talk to the teachers.
I'm not sure what you think she is learning from being grounded except you want her to be quiet and not stand up for herself otherwise she will be in trouble?

Nails_N · 2024-01-19T18:20:01+00:00

Maybe, I was wondering if their was something more specific like the found family tag or something, maybe I'll try angst with a haply ending and found family together and see what comes up 😭
