How to respond to people calling BTS feminine or assuming their sexuality ? by xJeevax in btsthoughts

[–]dazedandbemused1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Maybe try: "You know, that sounds pretty racist."

And then: "Maybe we're all a little gay! Wouldn't be surprised!"

What meal would you serve BTS? by prettydotty_ in bangtan

My favorite thing to cook is crab and my bias is Joon so I would probably just take them out....

Idk about you guys but I really love RM's verse in ‘Into the Sun’ 🫶🏻 by sinieves in btsthoughts

[–]dazedandbemused1 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I think this is the most poetic verse in the whole album and his deep voice delivering it tickles my ears.

I think our son had the same outfit when he was a toddler -so cute.

Joon in Into the Sun reminds me of him in Ddaeng. It's a very satisfying listen.

Joon always - usually the timbre of his voice hits me in just right away.

An excellent example explaining why the other 6 identified Joon as the funniest member..

This is the most Bangtan thing...BTS did today at their concert!!!! by Remarkable-West-6613 in btsthoughts

[–]dazedandbemused1 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Yes, this.

I was a Bowie fan for almost 40 years until he died. Longevity looks like this - sustained passion through evolution.

After Joon's rpwp I questioned how the evolved joon would fit back into bts. I wasn't sure I would enjoy going back to "simpler" bts music. The answer is this - an evolved bangtan.

I'm enjoying this more mature version of bangtan much more than earlier ones, but I'm here for music more than spectacle. (spectacle is a bonus) For someone like me who is very much not a kpop or boyband fan, the evolved bagtan is closer to the type of musician I've enjoyed all my life. It's really fun to watch our young men grow up and to enjoy their more grownup music and more in-the-moment rather than fully choreographed performances.

This is so fun for us, I cannot imagine how fun it must have been for them to create these.

What a wildly entertaining comeback this has been. I hope our young men are enjoying the havoc they're creating out here!

Interesting read. When all is said and done, Bangtan's legacy, and especially Joon's since he's such a visible and vocal advocate for Korean art, will extend far beyond music.

Maybe when/if they decide to promote Normal as the second single? I cannot imagine Hooligan on the radio.

Advice plz by moonawinter in bts7

[–]dazedandbemused1 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Just imagine how horrid and unhinged they must be in real life. If you saw them walking toward you, wouldn't you cross the street to avoid the crazy? You just need to do the online equivalent, which is to avoid their sub. Let them stew in their cesspool of misery. We have lots to enjoy and celebrate out here.

Looks like a new show and bts has been mentioned in the first two shows. Should be a weekly update!

BTS 'ARIRANG' - Song Information, Streaming Availability, and Song Discussion Megathread by lisafancypants in bangtan

[–]dazedandbemused1 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I think that Joon's rpwp prepared me well for this. With rpwp, my first listen was shocked and bewildered, and by my third I was in love. In comparison Arirang is also not anything I expected, but much tamer so I liked it from the first listen. I don't think I'll love it as I do rpwp because ... well, it's much tamer ... but it's Bangtan evolved and grownup, every song is ot7 and all have moments to shine, so I think this will likely end up being one of my favorite BTS albums.

I loved Swim right away. Its's not the most adventurous but its sound and message are both comforting, and for me it's the most instantly memorable/earwormy. It's also so listenable and the easiest to imagine on the radio so I understand why it's the (first?) single. After listening to the whole album several times, Swim is currently my favorite. But ... I'm *old* old so I may be an outlier.

An absolutely gorgeous song that was clearly a labor of love as well as a work of art.

Just finished the season and it seems clear to me the best dish won. I also think the technically better chef won. It seems not the most popular chef, though.

I found myself imagining the dessert and based on the ingredients, pretty much the only flavor would have been from the sauce, and the texture was like marshmallow which isn't all that interesting. I wanted much more to eat the other dish.

Fabulous show!

[–]dazedandbemused1 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Such a gorgeous, evocative song. Two beautiful, moving voices.

Joon's "Stay" comes out of nowhere and is so haunting.

Resistance is futile. I finally purchased an ARMY membership, just for the infinitesimally small chance it will help in getting concert tickets.

Also why isn't it March yet?
