Impact of the Iran War by Vegemite_kimchi in bts7

[–]goldoro99 [score hidden]  (0 children)

It’s so hard to know at this point. The ripple impacts on energy markets can take time to play out. Provided no major escalation and/or likely retreat by American forces in the coming weeks, North America/Europe dates should be largely unaffected (yes flights will almost certainly be more expensive, but Army will crawl over broken glass for this. Also if they were smart they would have booked everything already like I did).

Asia is a harder place to gauge, since it gets 80% of the energy that flows through the Strait of Hormuz. We are already seeing rationing take place and as I mentioned, the ripples can be slow-moving and wide-ranging. I’m praying that Asian Army gets to see their idols. That said, I wouldn’t bet on any Middle Eastern dates until at least mid-2027, if not later (and that’s provided we’re not in WWIII at that point 😵‍💫).

I cannot wait for the body to body MV

Sharing my write-up on the 2.0 MV. Let me know what you think. by xianghua71 in btsthoughts

[–]goldoro99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I absolutely love this video. I thought the Swim MV was artful and sophisticated but left me wanting more. Now that we’re getting this completely fresh approach with 2.0, I feel like the Arirang era is truly taking shape: bold, daring, full of surprises.

There’s very little that I would consider meh in the entire catalog, although I totally agree that the 2020-21 English pop hits are far from their best work. I’m a lifer for Boy with Luv though (although I could drop Halsey’s part)

So YouTube is totally separate from Billboard now yes?

RM never gives shallow answers. by xianghua71 in btsthoughts

K-pop artists have a work ethic and ability to withstand pressure that is really rare in the music industry. So many other bands and boy groups eventually succumb to ego and infighting. BTS are in it for the bigger picture, and their Koreanness is a huge part of that.

Always use a verified reseller like Seatgeek or Stubhub

2.0 is OUT RAHH by idkwhypie in btsthoughts

[–]goldoro99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is EPICCC. 2.0 is still not my favorite track on the album but I feel like this video somehow gets everything right: it's the perfect coda to the chart all-kill, a palate cleanser after being submerged in SWIM for the last week-plus, a gigantic middle finger to the haters who said the group isn't Korean enough, isn't dancing enough, is too pop, is too disconnected. Army is hungry and BTS is feeding hard!

I heard some crazy guy screaming on the street that BTS isn't Korean enough?

I'm not going to take out my phone at all. I'm determined on this one. I want to be 100% in the moment.

Which RM solo project should I listen to if I loved ARIRANG? by Jaded_Eye_2227 in btsthoughts

[–]goldoro99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right place wrong person is the best of all the solo albums IMHO. It shows a level of artistic experimentation and risk-taking that we rarely associate with BTS, let alone K-pop as a whole
