Thank you for answering!! @curio-queries I definitely learned something new today and your insight makes sense.

Also, I forgot that type of editing was used in the roleplay bit AND I definitely didn't peep the mics.

The non chronological order of these moments in every episode is really...driving me crazy lol 😵‍💫

Thanks again and I'll check out your other blogs 🥰

Haiii.

Found your blog recently and I love reading your production notes :)

I'm going to probably explain this really badly 😝 but here goes.

I was wondering about your thoughts on how they used sound clips that were not from the footage the viewer is seeing in ep. 3? I'm not sure what you would call this type of editing but a moment I found peculiar was when they were trying on the North Face clothes.

We see the 3 of them going through the items/trying different things on, then we see JK trying a jacket, then Jimin with a jacket on turning around.

The audio doesn't match. You hear JK talk about the clothes. Then Jimin asking how he looks to JK. (not to mention how the messed up subtitle saga continues 🙄)

The second time I noticed the same type of editing happen was at the end of the episode at the go-kart place. After JK did his circling of his go-kart in front of Jimin & Taehyung, we see Jimin do that frog thing lol then we have a wide shot including both scenery and them in the corner chatting, then a drone shot, and the audio is of Jimin & JK talking about the day's activities with added music as well.

This second case felt right to me. It gave a bit of reflection and wrapped up the episode. 

But in the first case, I’m a bit confused. What was the creative choice there?

Not having appropriate footage of them (i.e. 1 person was not decent/not covered up) when they were having that conversation trying on the clothes? Then why use the audio at all? There wasn’t consistency in the use of this type of editing choice so it stuck out to me.

Anyways, just looking for some insight from someone with knowledge such as you.

Thank you 🥰

Hello there! I'm so thrilled you sent this in! I love chatting about this stuff and you helped me notice something with this scene as well.

To your point, yes, there are usually a few reasons why editors will play audio from one scene as a voiceover for another.

It's an extremely useful tool for transitions, helping to build a bridge between two scenes.

In traditional TV and movies it's also most frequently used as a bandaid to cover when they want to change the lines an actor says after they've already been filmed.

It also can be purely stylistic. They did this in this episode at the end of the bit where vmin talk to jk on his bike for their mafia/hitman role play. The final dialogue as a voiceover helped continue the fun and fantastical moment.

For the moment you mentioned when they're changing clothes, I suspect it's edited this way purely as a utility for one reason: The guys aren't wearing their mics so there was no audio that matched up with the moment they decided to show. I'd easily wager there was a brand deal with the North Face to have the members wear some of these clothes as product placement. In that case, brands usually will have requirements about how much screentime specifically highlights their product and my even require approval of the final segment. The guys are obviously used to this so they made sure to record some good dialogue when they did have their mics on but the footage we got is more dynamic than them just complimenting straightforward to a camera. That would be my guess as to why this specific moment was edited like this.

Fun fact though: Tae never put his mic back on after getting out of the pool until after they put these clothes on. And JK only donned his while JM was taking that pic that was only the top of Tae's head. I'd wager they flipped the chronology of when Tae took his scooter ride cuz he and JK both have mics on when he gets back and I highly doubt Tae wouldn't have walked right by him if Jimin was still asleep on the ground when he got back.

Anyway, thanks again for the ask. I may be incorrect about why anything was done this specific way in these episodes but it's fun to chat about the possibilities.

For everyone that's new to my blog (and there are a bunch of you suddenly!), may I also point out two of my sideblogs that you may be interested in?

@bts-polls is a daily poll blog for bts, army and such.

@aspec-kpop is just a gathering place to share perspectives of those of us on the ace-aro spectrum as we experience the kpop world.

Okay, end of shameless plug!

Mimi is just always cute 🥺🥺🥺

Sherlock Holmes over here 🧐

I love it.

I hope you're right about Park Hwayobi as well. I love her! She is definitely an R&B queen and I would love some R&B from Jimin 😍

More musical clues for PJM1?

In the W Korea interview released this week, Jimin was asked who he was listening to recently and he mentioned Park Hwayobi and Honne.

Since it's a pattern that these guys like to drop clues in their interviews let's dig into this a bit.

Park Hwayobi

Park Hwayobi is known as SK's "Queen of R&B". Her biggest hit which got to No.6 in the Korean charts was Bye Bye Bye in 2010.

Her latest single was Sunset in 2021.

Fun fact and possible additional clue, RM posted her song How is it going? from the Because I Love You album on Instagram this month (23/01/2023).

I wonder if Jimin is going to pull an RM on us with an R&B collaboration with an established star.

Honne

Secondly Jimin says he is listening to Honne (本音 or "true feelings") the British electronic music duo who debuted in 2016 with their album Warm on a Cold Night. This album was really popular in South Korea where it went platinum.

It also included their song, Somebody that Loves You with Izzy Bizu.

Their association with BTS, and in particular RM, goes back to 2019 when they released Crying Over You featuring RM and Beka.

In 2020, the were producers on RM's Seoul

and last year they have credits for Closer on RM's Indigo album.

As far as I can remember they weren't amongst the songwriters and producers that have posted about working with Jimin last year but you never know they too could be in the mix for PJM1.
