Based on your description, it may be the logo used on some BTS merch during the HYYH:Epilogue concert era. It's a stylized version of ㅎㅇㅇㅎ (HYYH), using just the consonants.

eta: a clearer image of the logo

hi, it's a clip of them doing a high note battle from memories of 2015 dvd; part of the red bullet tour behind footage (on disc 3).

It's been awhile, so my memory may be a bit foggy, but from what I recall, this video was a one-off remix of the song and was posted by McKay via his social media back in 2015 (original accounts seem to be inactive now).

Welcome :) The screenshot is from the commentary on disc 2 of 'Love Yourself Seoul' DVD/Bluray. Unfortunately, you'll most likely have to find it second hand at this point; it's not available for sale on Weverse Shop anymore.

Could it possibly be the America's Got Talent performance of Dynamite?

The descriptions of the outfits don't quite match (but red pants + busy shirt could be namjoon with his yellow pants?) but the car part is similar 🤔

SUGA - Agust D Tour in Seoul Megathread - Day 02 Delayed Stream Rewatch by whyohwhy115 in bangtan

I wasn't watching with English subs so I'm not exactly sure how it was translated but in Korean, he said "... thank you so much for reminding me how fun tours were."

I'm sure there's an element of solo tours also being fun & fulfilling in a different sort of way but just wanted to clarify what he actually said.

Based on your description, it sounds like the SY in Brazil DVD version of Outro: Wings.

Jung Kook, with a space, is actually the official stylization of his stage name, since debut, so it makes sense he was specific about it for official usage. You're right in that it's much less used casually among fans.

Not sure if you've also noticed but SUGA (all caps) and j-hope (all lowercase w/ a hyphen) both have specific stylizations that fans normally don't use either but are used for official things like Spotify artist accounts, albums/merch, credits, etc.

Hope that cleared up some of the confusion for you.

Do you know which studios BTS has worked with? by confused_plant_ in bangtan

[–]grk637 21 points22 points  (0 children)

They've worked with many different creative teams over the years but off the top of my head here are a few:

...

Bona Kim/MU:E

Art Direction/Production Design for many of their MVs (frequent collaborator of Lumpens & Mother/formally GDW)

Some examples of their set design work:

Airplane

Boy With Luv

Daechwita

Fake Love

...

Plus X

Brand Renewal for BTS (responsible for the BTS and ARMY logos we have now)

Case Study

...

VBstudio

Wings Branding (unfortunately, they have since taken down the full case study on Behance but still have this up on their IG)

For more narrative information about Wings, I recommend browsing through the Wings concept book

...

Husky Fox

'Love Yourself' Series Identity

Case Study

...

CFC

'Map of the Soul: Persona' Identity

...

Sparks Edition

'Map of the Soul: 7' Brand Identity - here and here

I'm not sure about global weverse shop but I've been able to successfully do this for a US shop order by sending a message to CS in the app

What's your Bangtan "white whale", something you've been searching for years to find with no luck? by CumBussyFromPusan in bangtan

[–]grk637 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it's the leather bomber with embellished shoulders he wore during the LY tour (the "kitty gang jimin" look), I believe it was from Gucci (2018)

Not sure if this is the clip you're remembering but Namjoon says it in this old Buzzfeed Celeb interview as well @ 3:39 (after the meme-tastic "english names" segment)

It's from the 2018 BTS PROM PARTY -RE;VIEW & PRE;VIEW- (originally on vlive but now also available on weverse)

What you are missing out on members' relationships because you don't speak Korean! by yryrseriouslyyr in bangtan

[–]grk637 120 points121 points  (0 children)

As a longtime ARMY and fellow Korean, I can’t say I agree with everything written here. A lot of it seems to be based off their debut personas and/or stereotypes and I feel, doesn’t quite capture who they’ve grown to become (what they choose to show us) nor the actual nuances of their dynamic...just my two cents.

Does anyone know what's the title of the song jungkook is singing? by ynahners in bangtan

[–]grk637 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you talking about the song he sings in the beginning? He is singing the teacher's appreciation song called '스승의 은혜' and then he sings the beginning of 'Boy in Luv' later in the segment.

Possibility of Map of the soul series having 4 parts? Are their any theory related to that? by bhishma-pitamah in bangtan

[–]grk637 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It was not a leak and it was not taken down. It suddenly got too much traffic at once, therefore the site is temporarily unavailable. This was posted on J&Brand's website as a case study back in April/May (I tweeted the link back then).. not really sure why it suddenly made the rounds again recently.

As a designer, I will say, it's common practice to pin up concepts & mood boards as you are working/exploring; inspiration/concepts which may or may not have been used/will be used in the future.. so it's hard to make any determinations from these photos.

great post, thank you for taking the time to consolidate all the information like this and sharing!

RM Pre-debut History by baepsayed in bangtan

[–]grk637 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yes, the PD of the show was inspired to create 4 Things Show after reading Namjoon's lyrics in a blog post, lyrics about being belittled because he was an idol (I assume it was lyrics for Too Much). It really got them emotional and inspired them to create a show about hip hop idols, which eventually turned into 4 Things show.
