“You'll like BTS music if you listen without prejudice” -Suga (2017)

I don’t like BTS because they are the next boy group. I like BTS because they’re not afraid to address social issues that exist in the world today. 방탄소년단 (Bangtan Sonyeondan) means protecting people, mostly the youth, from prejudice and oppression. Here are my top socially-charged BTS songs:

N.O.

criticizes the school structure, mostly of Korea, making the youth only value themselves through grades and trapping them by promising false hope. It encourages the youth to rebel against the broken system as it does not guarantee people success and happiness in their lives.

“Who is the one who made us into studying machines? They classify us to either Being number one or dropping out They trap us in borders, the adults There’s no choice but to consent Even if we think simply, It’s the survival of the fittest Who do you think is the one who makes us step On even our close friends to climb up? What?

The grown-ups confess That we have it so easy They say that we are happier than our portion Then how do you explain my unhappiness? There’s no conversation topics beside studying Outside, there are so many kids like me, Living the life of a puppet Who will take responsibility?”

No More Dream

criticizes young people for not having the willpower to fulfill their own dreams and the older generation for judging the youth for not knowing what they want to do with their lives, thinking that forcing them into a dream will solve the problem.

“Sick of the same day, the repeating days Grown-ups and my parents keep instilling confined dreams to me Number one future career is a government worker? It’s not a forced dream, a ninth inning relief pitcher Throw a fast ball at the waste of time that is night study sessions Rebel against the hellish society, dreams are a special pardon Ask yourself about your dream profile Become the main subject of your life that has always been suppressed”

Bapsae

criticizes the older generation for comparing the new generation to their time, but ignoring their problems and the context of their struggles that the older generation didn’t have. It also depicts the unjustified growing gap between the upper class and the lower class.

“At my part time job, it’s “all for experience”. At school, there’s the teachers. My superiors use violence. In the media they go on about “the generation that’s given up.”

I’ve got a crow-tit’s legs, and you have a stork’s legs. They all say their legs are worth a million bucks. My legs are shorter, so how do you expect me to keep up? They say it shouldn’t matter since we’re coming from the same place. Never, never, never.”

*A crow-tit is a type of bird with very short legs and is being compared to the strides made by a stork, which has very long legs*

Can You Turn Off Your Cellphone?

criticizes people obsessing over their phones and investing their self-worth on social media instead of spending time on their actual relationships. 

“Could you turn off your cell phone? Or put it in your pocket? Everyone says it’s smart And the times have gotten better but we’re rushing twice as much Sometimes, I miss the times when people talked face to face Communication increased but between us is a noisy silence”

21st Century Girls

empowers girls and women to believe they are beautiful and enough, and that their opinions and decisions in life are valid and important.

“You worth it you perfect Deserve it just work it You look elegant, elegant also you’re pretty, pretty You shine, shine. You’re the truth and the reason

Don’t ever be scared Whatever people say, you’re okay (Alright) You are strong You say yes or no yes or no”

Go Go

criticizes consumerism culture, where people would blow off money for a good time and use phrases such as ‘YOLO’ to rationalize their irresponsible behavior.

“Worked hard to get my pay Gonna spend it all on my stomach Pinching pennies to spend it all on wasting it Leave me be, even if I overspend Even if I break apart my savings tomorrow Like a crazy guy

Woo there’s no tomorrow There’s already a mortgage on my future Woo spending my money even more Friends, wassup Do you want some?”

Spine Breaker

criticizes youth who financially abuse their parents, demanding things that they want but not need, and ignoring or dismissing their parents’ hard work and health.

“What’s going on? Are you falling behind on the trend? You whined and complained to get it, did I strike a nerve? In the padded jacket, your greed fills it up Even after seeing your parents’ curved spines, you’re so coldhearted You complain that all your friends have it and that they should buy it for you (Ayo baby) stop being so immature You won’t freeze just because you don’t have that jacket Fill your head with good sense before it’s too late”

Am I Wrong

criticizes people who are apathetic to the current social problems that exist in the world today and who are uninterested to try to change the world the better, only selfishly thinking about their own lives.

“The world’s goin’ crazy How about you how bout ya You think it is okay I don’t think it’s that okay Have ears but don’t listen Have eyes but don’t see Fish live in all our hearts Its name is selfish selfish

If what you see on the news is nothing to you If that comment is nothing to you If that hatred is nothing to you You’re not normal, you’re abnormal”

Not Today

empowers underdogs to pursue what they want to do and encourages them to ignore the people who put them down because of their lack of privilege.

“All the underdogs in the world A day may come when we lose But it is not today Today we fight!

Throw it up! Throw it up! Throw away the fear in your eyes Break it up! Break it up! Break the glass ceiling that traps you Turn it up! (turn it up!) Burn it up! (burn it up!) Till the day of victory (fight!) Don’t kneel, don’t break down That’s (do) not today!”

*The term ‘glass ceiling’ is an acknowledged barrier to advancement in a profession, especially affecting women and members of minorities*

Pied Piper 

criticizes obsessive “stan culture” and BTS fans in a good way, telling them that devoting too much time over them, or any idol, is unhealthy and should prioritize their personal lives. Calling themselves as the ‘Pied Pipers’ is an expression that following BTS, or any other group, is a double-edged sword.

“Stop Now stop watching and study for your test Your parents and director hate me Video clips, pictures, tweets V app, Bon Voyage I know, you can’t help what you like But stop, interpret the music video later You have so many pictures of me in your room anyway It’s not just one hour, it’s a whole year that’ll disappear So this song is an award I’m giving to you Good

Follow the sound of the pipe, follow this song It’s a bit dangerous but I’m so sweet I’m here to save you, I’m here to ruin you You called me, see? I’m so sweet Follow the sound of the pipe”

Analysis of BTS Love Yourself 轉 Tear 'Singularity' Comeback Trailer and Lyrics.

Intro: Singularity

BigHit introduces Love Yourself: Tear 轉 with a trailer called Singularity. Kim Taehyung presents the theme of the next comeback which will express the dark, mysterious, toxic, agonizing, contemplative, and even destructive side of finding yourself, loving yourself, and loving someone else. 

The slow R&B song displays a sensual and sultry vibe that tastefully accentuates Taehyung’s soulful and baritone voice. The lyrics of the song and the music video conveys his feelings of losing himself to appease another, most likely but not exclusively, a lover. The other can also be interpreted as the people and the world around him. For simplicity, I will be referring to the other as a lover, but the following explanations can still be applied if the other is the people or the world around him!

Coat Rack

The scene starts off with Taehyung and the coat rack, symbolizing his lover (or the people and the world around him).

Immediately, there is a depiction of an unhealthy push-and-pull relationship. He takes her hand but sharply snaps out of it.

However, she captivates him back.

But then again, he tries to leave.

“A sound of something breaking I awake from sleep A sound full of unfamiliarity Try to cover my ears but can’t go to sleep The pain in my throat gets worse Try to cover it I don’t have a voice Today I hear that sound again”

Taehyung realizes there is a problem between them symbolized by the sound that won’t let him sleep. He copes with it by ignoring it and avoiding to speak out, even though it continues to bother him.

White Masks

Several white masks come out from Taehyung that symbolizes parts of himself or his fake selves.

He plays with them and tries to select which one would please his lover. 

The flower he holds represents his love and he tries to match it with a fake self that would gain her love.

He finally chooses one and covers himself with it.

Memory Room and Frozen Lake

There’s many scenes of Taehyung inside a room covered in newspaper and flowers. 

He’s seen cherishing and absorbing its ambience.

The room represents the memories and events of their relationship. (If it was the world, then it represents the news and events of the world). In the room, there is a small pool of water, which represents the lake in the lyrics. 

“I suddenly run to the lake There’s my face in it”

On the surface of the water, he sees his face, his reflection. He sees his true self in midst of their deceitful relationship.

“A thick ice has formed Please don’t say anything Reach my hand out to cover the mouth”

When the lake water freezes, he is unable to see his reflection anymore. He loses his identity slowly in exchange for love, and she reinforces to suppress it.

“A crack again on this frozen lake I dumped myself into the lake Over the winter lake I was thrown“

He describes how he threw himself in the lake, trapping himself inside as it freezes. However, the crack in the ice symbolizes his realization of acting untruthfully.

“But in the end, spring will come someday The ice will melt and flow away” 

An inevitable day will come when his true self cannot be concealed anymore and the ice will again turn into water. 

He may or may not want his true self back, but regardless, he will see his own reflection again. 

One day, he must choose between his lover (flowers/room) or himself (water/reflection). He realizes that the love that he tries to gain or has gained is fake and does not and will not last. His lover does not love him, she loves his fake self. 

Smeraldo Flower

The Smeraldo flower makes its comeback!

From the past comebacks, we know that the Smeraldo flower means the ‘truth that cannot be told,’ which in this context, is his true self.

He holds it as he chooses a fake self for his lover, signifying his lie.

But it will eventually burn in the end. He will not be able to continue with the facade and must either choose himself or his fake love and fake lover.

“Have I lost myself Or have I gained you”

“Tell me if my voice isn’t real If I shouldn’t have thrown myself away Tell me if even this pain isn’t real What I was supposed to do back then”

These ending lyrics are the most depressing and ominous out of the whole song. He realizes his problem and regrets throwing himself away for her but at the same time, he continues to look for her and becomes reliant on her opinions as she now makes him who he is. He now only finds himself in her and his self-concept will only be molded by her, as evidenced by him asking her what to feel, what to think, and what to do. The push-and-pull relationship becomes a toxic cycle that traps him without easy escape as he gradually loses himself more and more. 

Outro: Thoughts

I honestly did not expect BigHit to turn this dark and this deep for this comeback but I am glad they are going darker and deeper than the oceans. BTS has been addressing social issues relevant to youth since debut, especially youth in their teens and 20′s. The Love Yourself series focuses on the psychological struggle with identity and finding love, appropriately fit for people in their teens and 20′s as the BTS members are within this age group.

There are dangerous aspects of love, and losing one’s self is only one of them. There are existing partners out there that are captivating but manipulative in a way that they know how and when to turn on their charms to seduce another. There are also others who are insecure in themselves that they base their self-worth on their relationships and may sabotage their relationship themselves. 

There are also people who mold themselves into someone else because they do not love themselves, and therefore think that others don’t as well. It becomes a coping mechanism to put on a mask to hide the shame of who they really are. Yet, in doing so, they confuse their true self and their fake self eventually that it becomes mentally, emotionally, and socially damaging.

In order for love to be true, loving yourself and having confidence in who you are is essential before you can fully give yourself to another person or love other people around you. You must find yourself first before you can find yourself in another. 

Love, whether romantic or not, is a double-edged sword. It is addicting like a drug and uses the same chemicals and mechanisms in the brain as drugs do. That’s why it makes us do crazy irrational things and why it’s hard to give it up. We try to find so many ways to seek true love that sometimes we sacrifice ourselves or parts of ourselves in order to gain it. Love for one’s self is essential and lack thereof may develop in an evil concept of the world that may cause awful decisions and bitter behavior. Love is not just a beautiful thing that can bring the most happiness, but it can also be destructive and bring the most pain.

Bighit: "LOVE YOURSELF TEAR will be selling officially on the 18th of May,pre order start 18th April" Army:

bro if proof has tony Montana w/ Jimin I'll flat out sob

Bileğimde pahalı saatim, ben iyi bir insanım Doğru vücut ve doğru akla sahibim Partiyi canlandırıyorum, doğru hislere sahibim -Tereyağı- Gibi pürüzsüz, bizden nefret et -Bizi sev-

Canlı çocuk yaklaş ve biz saklandık Tüm oyuncular harekete başlıyor, bas olmadığı zaman ARMY hemen arkamızda, biz dediğimizde -Haydi gidelim-

YouTube'da "달려라 방탄" videosunu izleyin

Artık favori şarkım bu, cidden harika. Rap line ve özellikle Yoongi mükemmel söylemiş. Ana şarkı Run BTS olsaydı bence daha fazla izlenirdi ve stream alırdı.

İki çıplak ayak bizim benzinimiz

Şimdi gidelim, hazır mısınız?

Haklıydım, yağmurun sızdığı Nonhyeon-dong'daki stüdyoda kendime acıyarak bir şişe soju açarken kendi kendime dedim ki,

"Ben en yükseğe tırmandığımda, herkes ölür."

Bangtan'ın başarısının nedeni mi?

Ben de bilmiyorum, yok öyle bir şey

Hepimiz durmadan koştuk

İnsanlar ne derse desin koştuk

İşte cevap burada, hahaha

Teselli, buna sahibiz.

Sadakat, buna sahibiz.

İyi müzik, buna sahibiz.

İyi takım? Lanet olası!

Ateşli olduğunu söyledin, oh adamım, değilsin.

Uçanların, koşanların üstünde değilsin.

Koşan Bangtan mı, lezzzgooo!

Anlamı ağlattı, teşekkürler Bangtan...

You are proof that i won, thank you Bangtan...

Gözümü açtım 10 sene önceye Nonhyeondong'da dolaşırken'e Kolayca ağladığımız Kolayca güldüğümüz zamana...

Birçok mevsimden sonra Dönüp biraz bakınca,

Hep bizimle birlikteydiniz

Ve her bir saniyesi sonsuzdu...

Yürüdüğümüz yolların hepsi,

Yolumuza dönüşecek.

Seninle olacağım

Ömrümün sonuna kadar

Ömrümün sonuna...

Albüm mükemmel bir şekilde hazırlanmış, gerçi Bangtan'dan da daha azı beklenemezdi. İyi dinlemeler 🖤

Nerede yanlış gittiğini bilmiyorum

Çocukluğumdan beri, mavi soru işaretleri vardı kafamda

Belki de bu yüzden bu kadar zorluklarla yaşadın

Ama arkama dönüp donukça baktığımda

Beni canlı canlı yutuyor bu tehditkar gölge

Mavi soru işareti hala orada

Anksiyete ya da depresyon mu bu?

Pişmanlık denen yaratık mı yoksa?

Belki de yalnızlıktan doğan benim bu

Hala bilmiyorum bu kötü maviyi

Beni ele geçirmesine izin vermemeliyim

Onu bulacağım

Sadece biraz daha mutlu olmak istiyorum

Donmuş olan beni erit

Sayısız kez ellerim uzanıyor

Bu renksiz yankıya

Zemin çok ağırlaşıyor

Kendi kendime şarkı söylüyorum

Sadece biraz daha mutlu olmak istiyorum

Bu büyük bir açgözlülük mü?

Soğuk havada caddelerde yürürken

Kalbimin hızlanan sesini hala hissediyorum

Havada süzülen kelimeleri gizlice topladıktan sonra

Şimdi şafakta uykuya dalmaya başlıyorum, iyi geceler...

Perfect way to make my day even better while listening to BE album on repeat 👍🏻

Thank you for the insight!!💜
