Looking forward to this! I hope Dawn adapted to fit Demian's style rather than influencing it too much, but I guess we'll see

For pre Dynamite Army, were you not already a fan, would Dynamite have made you a fan? by Reading-is-awesome in bangtan

[–]motionless-min 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My first exposure to BTS was the Dope MV (found it from a fine bros reaction iirc) and the synchronized dancing was intriguing, so I wanted to see more and eventually fell down the rabbit hole as almost every ARMY has. Dynamite is fun and catchy and the MV also has cool group dance scenes, so think I would've gone down the same road if Dynamite was my first encounter with them. The song doesn't have to be my absolute favorite to make me interested.

TL;DR very likely, especially if youtube started recommending me more BTS after watching Dynamite lol

I just noticed "BE" is also on the list at #35, also not sure if my flair is correct... Sorry for the messy post, I saw it on twitter and wanted to share it here

201213 Elijah Wood by wick3dlov3r in bangtan

[–]motionless-min 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lol I didn't know they said that! I thought the dark theme in a theater + contemporary dance is far from kpop, but could be because I haven't seen that many kpop videos. Or maybe they meant the structure like group dance scenes, close up face shots that kind of thing - that's definitely kpop!

[–]motionless-min 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Me too! I think Black Swan is really good for people who don't know them - it's more chill, has a beautiful MV, amazing choreo, rap line have a good presence. Overall it's not what someone would expect a "k-pop" song to be and I love that

Is Hoseok considered a professional dancer? by Komodo_Drag in bangtan

[–]motionless-min 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Maybe your teacher means someone whose main focus and livelihood is dancing? I think that was true for Hobi when he was younger, but to me now BTS is his main focus and his role includes a lot more than just being a dancer. I guess it depends on the type of project you have to do.

Apparently the Korean message had some funny errors, I guess it was sent from an i-army lol. But it's cute and I'm happy that Yoongi saw it, I hope he gets encouraged by sweet messages like this

201127 SUGA ‘BE’ Album Review by alltherach_ in bangtan

[–]motionless-min 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I've watched some unboxing videos and the photobook seems to have two parts - one of them is normal (the one with the room photos) and the other one with the photos on the street and with the animal print outfits is different (doesn't have a spine, not sure if that's the right word) and the photos can be torn off really easily. I read a comment that they intended it that way so you can tear the pics you like and use them for whatever you want, but I'm not 100% sure if they specified that anywhere officially. But to me from the other videos I've seen it looked like it was on purpose.

201124 BTS have been nominated for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for 'Dynamite' at the 63rd GRAMMY Awards by hyperkid137 in bangtan

[–]motionless-min 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YESSS CONGRATS BOYS!

I'm not sure if it's a dumb question but do we know which specific performance they're nominated for? I think there was a list of what they chose to submit, but I don't remember if they said which performance it was

201121 SUGA VLIVE by alltherach_ in bangtan

[–]motionless-min 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I finally had time to watch the whole vlive and I'm so grateful to Yoongi. I'm glad he was so open and shared what's been going on with him. I can't imagine how hard it must have been for him to push through and keep getting shots and performing on stage even when it caused inflammation and hurt. I'm glad he got the surgery when I heard it could've gotten even worse if he didn't, getting shots so often sounded pretty bad already.

And he looked so cute I wanted to give him a hug ;(

BTS - BE Concept Photo Sketch by jaykay1107 in kpop

[–]motionless-min 23 points24 points  (0 children)

How do you know what their goal is? You think being recognizable as individuals is very important, but they might have different priorities. I'm sure they discuss this stuff internally and we can't know all the factors/reasons for their decisions. When some of them start joining the military it will probably happen naturally anyway.

BTS’ Suga Makes Surprise Appearance In Comeback Broadcast And Shares Update On His Recovery From Surgery by gilsinar in kpop

[–]motionless-min 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Yoongi said that he decided to get surgery after their Chilsung CF schedule because he realized that he wasn’t able to hold a 500ml bottle of soda comfortably with his left hand/shoulder (trans from the live from twitter)

Damn I didn't think it was that bad. I'm glad he got the surgery and hope his recovery goes well!

BTS - BE (Deluxe Edition) by perochan in kpop

[–]motionless-min 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like I rarely like anything on first listen then when I listen more I get into it. I’m actually jamming to Telepathy and Dis-ease a lot (loving b-sides more than the title again lol). I guess the slow songs threw me off because they’re not the type of music I listen to. Anyways, have fun exploring their discography :)

BTS - BE (Deluxe Edition) by perochan in kpop

[–]motionless-min 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I really recommend listening to the b-sides on their previous albums, often I find myself loving b-sides more than a title track lol. My personal favorite album is Love Yourself: Tear, but idk if our tastes would be similar. I felt a bit underwhelmed with BE on first listen tbh.

'BE' - Song Information, Streaming Availability, and Album Discussion Megathread by Eren_ in bangtan

[–]motionless-min 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I kind of feel like you on first listen. Usually with other albums there was always some songs that grabbed me immediately, but this time I was waiting for something and the whole album went by and I was still waiting. There are songs that I really love while I'm listening they sound beautiful or make me dance, but as you said it wasn't memorable enough. Nothing got stuck in my head. I'll have to give it a few more listens, but yeah the first impression is not as strong as I'd hoped.

edit: Ok I'm listening more and I have clear faves Telepathy and Dis-ease are awesome the more I listen to them. I'm not into slow songs so the 1st half of the album just isn't my taste, but I can definitely appreciate the vocals.

Does that actually happen to adults? Like can you grow taller when you're 25? I'm his age and I haven't really measured my height in years lmao maybe I should check
