Someone just asked Bong Joon-ho why he decided to make Parasite in Korean. Are they going to ask every American director why they filmed their movies in English....
#Oscars
You're telling me they had TWO YEARS to put together a decent show and they couldn't even spot the goddamn Starbucks cup in Winterfell??!?!
#GameOfThrones
Namjoon really posted a video of their Grammy loss with two laughing emojis then went to the gym and posted a photo like “don’t be sad I’m so sexy aha”
BTS fans (and all boy band fans) are constantly mocked + dismissed as silly teen girls.
Meanwhile
@BTS_twt
just launched a global art project spanning five cities and multiple art genres. Their music is inspired by Jung. They frequently reference Greek philosophy and mythology.
Oooh a press release about
@BTS_twt
’s MAP OF THE SOUL ON:E concert reveals:
-about two hours runtime
-“massive scale” stages
-“never-before-seen stages and various setlists...Some songs will also be given variations across the two days”
Namjoon: I think Dynamite was more familiar because of the language and other elements. It was disco-pop, more familiar with the American public...it doesn't have a big message...sometimes a simpler message that really gets across.
The
@BTS_twt
press conference about
#Dynamite
reaching no 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 is due to start soon.
I'll be live-tweeting on this thread — follow/mute accordingly.
I'll try to catch as much as possible but please forgive any mistakes/misses/typos.
Let's go 🧨💯
Yoongi: If i have to say it, we went to the Grammys and did a collab performance, now I would like to do a single performance, just BTS on the Grammy awards stage.
It’s not offensive for a fandom to be called “teen girls”, what is offensive is the way it’s used to DISMISS the fandom, because it reinforces the idea that being a teen girl is something shameful/silly/to be dismissed. Which is simply not true.
“I never cared for them - innocent or otherwise” - Jaime Lannister, the man who sacrificed his honour to become the kingslayer in order to save those innocent lives. lol it’s like D&D have slept through their own damn show
#GameOfThrones
Press release from Big Hit: a new game "Rhythm Hive" from Superb Corp will feature the the sound and images of BH artists.
@BTS_twt
songs incl Dynamite and ON, plus
@TXT_members
songs Can't You See Me and 9 and Three Quarters will feature.
Hobi: Namjoon has been working out his arms, I was shocked when I saw them.
JK and Jimin and squeezing Namjoon's arms and grinning.
Namjoon: I am dying [of muscle pain]
Tae: I didn't think that BTS would be in such a limelight by the global audience. We came to Seoul together from the provinces with nothing. We had a small practice student in the basement. It was just the 7 of us practicing together, working together, these memories are fresh.
@BTS_twt
Visual update: they look good (ofc)!
Hobi in a blue suit, Jimin in a brown suit, Joon in a grey suit (glasses tucked into his pocket), JK in beige suit, Jin in black pants, white shirt + brown sweater, Taehyung in white shirt, tie and vest, Yoongi in white shirt, vest + glasses
Hobi: These are people who have become a major reason for my life and my existence. I want to say thank you to the members for being with me for 7 years and to ask them to be with me for the rest of my life. I'd like to take this opportunity to say I love you to the other members
Jin: This music, these performances... I hope that once again we can give you this gift in the future, and I would like to bring more good news in the future so keep an eye on us please.
JK: saying that you have been following us and have learned form us, I feel extremely grateful for this. Seeing that you are following our career and looking forward to our future is also very touching. Thank you so much. Because people like you exist we are able to go further.
Jin: We have our chatroom and Namjoon posted a picture 10-20 minutes before the wide release, Namjoon said actually this is a fake picture, and then 10-20 minutes he posted the same picture again and I realised it was real. I went to Weverse and kept writing and erasing a message
Yoongi: It would be great to receive an award but that's not going to become a reality just because we want it. We need a lot of help from a lot of people. So for now just performing on the Grammy award stage [is the goal].
Alright let's talk about Cartoon Guys Who Can Get It. I've been a thirsty bitch all my life. My
#1stCartoonCrush
was Prince Eric. The dark hair, the blue eyes, the dimples, the COLLARBONE???! Four-year-old me was in love.
Jimin: I said to Namjoon it was because of you we accomplished all of this. We had this conversation with the members all morning. What we talked about all morning was this is possible for us, we can do this.
JK: I heard the news a little bit later, when I learned we had reached the top of the chart, I wasn't sure if this webpage I was looking at was really real, I as out of it for a little bit. It's really our ARMY who has helped us reach this milestone and make this achievement.
Jin: I realised the only thing i can say is BTS and ARMY, this is something we achieved together...This was a song we made because we wanted to enjoy it together with our fans and the fact that we were able to achieve this is all thanks to our fans. Thank you so much.
Namjoon says achieving no 1 required not just support from fans, but also acceptance from general public. He's not sure what the tipping point was. He agrees with Jimin that this is just what they've been working at for a long time consistently.
The fact that they literally put a line in there saying “People love stories. And no one has a better story than Bran” proves how far up their own ass they were because literally every other character had a better story than Bran
#GameOfThrones
Jimin: At first I was really shocked. I was with Jungkook and we were thrilled and we were excited. And then we were staring at our chart, caressing it on our phones. And then I started crying and we started talking with the other members.
Tae: all of the difficulties we had to go through...all of these are pleasant and sweet memories and that really amplifies the joy that I have now. I feel I have received an award, a certificate, and that makes me happy.
JK: It wasn't possible, it was literally impossible for us to achieve that kind of feat. We couldn't believe it was real or a dream. Since we had that result, we wanted to reach for even more heights, and that's when we got even more driven and we were able to reach higher.
Jin: It is because ARMY exists that we exist and we are always thankful. We always want to show our best side to ARMY. We will keep working hard to bring some joy to ARMY. We love you ARMY.
Jimin: When I saw this the first thing that came to my mind was I really want to see our fans, I really want to perform, I really want to see ARMY so much.
Yoongi: Actually I'm still having a hard time grasping that this is real. We talked a lot, we often said 'no 1 on the hot 100', this is something we'd like to have. It's not like we worked hard [just] to reach this goal, but he feels like a dream we have reached this goal
JK thanks ARMY, the members, staff
"Being able to be a part of such a milestone is a great honour for me in my entire lifetime. It was actually my birthday so it felt like a huge birthday present. I'm glad I was born so I want to say again thanks to my mum and dad and ARMY"
The lyrics JK is singing for this guide are a mashup of It’s Raining Again by Skylar Grey and Authority by Elevation Worship. There’s something else in the middle I can’t quite make out.
do you ever just listen to the part in inner child where taehyung sings "you’re my boy, my boy, my boy, my boy, my boy" to his younger self so lovingly and like weep because same
Jimin: We really love the program of course...this was a rehearsal, we watch our rehearsal footage and we just did it to laugh amongst ourselves, we didn't realise it would be in the MV
OMG Jimin is doing the move and laughing.
Tae: It's the eyebrow raise that is the keypoint.
They are reading congrats and messages from the press.
Yoongi: Becoming no 1 on this chart and being congratulated by so many people, I feel a great sense of gratitude.
@BTS_twt
Jimin: Yesterday we were so happy, so thrilled, I think we calmed down a little bit because we were going beserk because we were so happy. This is something that we never really imagined would happen. It was something - at some point we felt this was something that we wanted
Yoongi: I have developed new hobbies, I draw a little bit, I have started to play guitar. It's not just me. The other members have thought about what they can be. We started to work on or new album that will come out in the second half of the year. Some of us are working out more
@BTS_twt
Namjoon: I never thought we'd have this sort of conference and say these kinds of things. I was waiting all night and I was the first to receive these news.
We had practice that day, when we have these things I can't really sleep...(he waited up for results)
Re: Dec 2015 they made it onto Billboard 200 for HYYH pt 2
Hobi: I think we were much more excited back then Seeing our name on the Billboard chart was really shocking, we were in awe of that.
JK: I read this message just now and it's really touching I think.
The message is about being a reporter following their career, finding it inspirational, thanking them and big hit
? about Jimin's tweets about how he can't stop crying.
Jimin: Actually, I don't really know. I heard this news I think it was 3.20-3.30. It was after 4am that I heard this news, I was basically crying until 7am and then I fell asleep exhausted from crying.
@BTS_twt
They respect their fans, and their fans' intelligence, even if no one else does.
They never talk down to or pander to them.
Instead, they open up and share their passions and invite us to do the same. It's remarkable.
#CONNECT_BTS
@BTS_twt
Jimin: this was something that the fans wanted as we did...now we are here it still doesn't feel like reality. I wasn't sure how I need to think and feel...I was really thankful to the other members. We were all beside each other for this process. We are so thankful to the fans.
Aladdin, of course, was also everything. Disney boys with thick black eyebrows? Okay.
I'm still mad the live action remake has dared to put a shirt on him.
Yoongi smiling at the suggestion when he speaks his dreams come true - what's next?
Yoongi: It makes me very happy and feels like a great accomplishment. I need to be careful about what I say when it comes to goals. I'm very happy we achieved this great feat with Dynamite.
Namjoon wanted to go to sleep straight away to preserve his emotions.
He has been reflecting back on their past, eating together, their growth.
He's thanking fans and staff.
(He talked so fast omg)
JK: and then we were doing this and looking at some videos online and we saw this video that everyone is sharing and sort of did it lightly as part of the many gestures we did. This was sort of a rehearsal roll, not the main shot. So it was more of a joke really.
Yoongi: now I start to think abotu what our next goal should be...it's not that we released Dynamite to make it to the Hot 100 chart, we simply put it out to give more energy to people around the world and I'm very happy that so many people listened to this became energised.
@BTS_twt
Hobi: To be honest BTs reaching no 1 on the Hot 100 we never imagined it, it still feels like a dream. I don't know if this is reality, I'm still shaking, I'm still excited, We started this bc we love music, bc we love dancing, and I'm v happy and excited
