Below is a transcript of Pdogg's "Beat Maker's" video interview from the HYBE Grammy Museum exhibit in Aug/Sept 2024. Very interesting, especially learning about his reasoning for how/why he used the choral and marching band parts of "ON." ❤️

The highlight for me was the iv with Joon about his song writing. Watched 2x so I could record it. He echoed their bulletproof theme: "...lyric writing...is all about thinking, traveling, & accumulating a lot of experience & storing it inside me as ammunition I'll use one day..."

There are also equally fascinating Hobi & Yoongi interviews about their songwriting and I'll record those when I go back. Hobi talked in depth about writing Disease during the pandemic & Yoongi attributes his skills in part to always being the reader of the month in grade school

The iv of PDogg was insightful. He talked about his classical music background and specifically about how he arranged the choir and band for ON. He demonstrated how each bit was put together and layered. 🤯

Another favorite part is hundreds of candid small polaroids from 2018ish. I think they took them of each other because they seemed special in that way--like ones you would take of your friends. Even underneath the glass you could see them well

One of the things I love the most about Namjoon is his sincere appreciation of women. In the Hybe Training video he talks w/ the utmost respect with the women who helped BTS in the early days. In Come Back to Me, the woman he sees himself in, his loving muse, is not objectified+

We don't need Western validation, but it's still heart-warming to see this coverage of Jin's return. As far as I can tell, this is the most non-racist, appreciative, respectful, truthful, and enthusiastic reporting about BTS that I've seen out of the U.S.😍💜
