We're waiting for @BTS_twt' press conference for "Dynamite" to start in ten minutes! It's for media only, but we'll let you posted on what the members say -- stay in this thread💜

The members just gave short introductions, and Jimin stuttered a little bit because he felt nervous and excited. Suga said, "We had a lot of fun working on the song. It gave us a lot of strength, and we hope the song will give you strength too."

Suga: "Dynamite" is a bright, cheerful disco pop with a message of confidence and happiness.

Jin: It's a song that BTS wants to say at the moment.

RM: The release of "Dynamite" wasn't planned at all; since the beginning of this year, we were working on our album and "Dynamite" was one of the songs we met in that process. It was a light, fun song that didn't have any seriousness.

RM continues: While recording, we danced along to it a lot. And we thought we wanted to share this energy with our fans as quickly as possible and decided to release it early, something we've never done, but we just couldn't wait.

J-Hope: I absolutely, absolutely loved the track's melody and vibe, and we wanted to share that with many people. We tried our best to deliver the good vibe that we got when first hearing the song, so we did our best to deliver that feeling.

Jungkook: The choreography is quite easy this time, so I believe a lot of fans could dance to it in their rooms. Each members also have an opportunity to show their unique charms and gestures.

RM: The first performance would be on VMA, an awards show we didn't attend yet. We were nominated before, but it is our first debut. Since Dynamite is a new challenge for us, we decided to take new challenges of performing it too.

Regarding the new album, Jimin said he took upon a PM role while V was in charge of the visual directing. The members said V worked really hard on this album, putting together schedules and everything which V declined to elaborate in the risk of spoiling anything.

J-Hope: The vocal range of this song was very wide for me, so I had some trouble singing it at times. While recording the MV, we had a lot of flexibility and were able to make up dance moves on the spot so it carries a lot of vitality and is special for us.

Jin: Through this song, we wanted to say, this time is difficult but let's overcome together. And we wanted to deliver that through singing and dancing, what we do best. We also wanted to show a new side of us, and hope everyone around the world gets a lot of strength from it.

V: The upcoming album will contain a lot of our personal touches, unique charms and characteristics. Our previous albums contained our touch too, but this one especially shows more of that.

Regarding their recent appearance on I-Land, J-Hope said "A lot of the trainees are probably doing their best but are still not sure if they're doing well or going in the right direction. Through the show, I also thought about what I had felt at the start of my career."

Jungkook added: I hope everyone cultivates more love for themselves. There will be many times trainees will feel tired and exhausted but that will also contribute to their growth.

Regarding the pandemic situation, V said "Everyone, not just us, is having a hard time. The reason we are releasing a song that wasn't a part of our plan was because of this crisis. Many things we planned didn't happen either.

V continues: Through this period, we again have reaffirmed our love for music. But most importantly, we realized the importance of people who listen to our music. We need them to do music. We sincerely hope Dynamite will deliver them the strength needed.

RM: The pandemic was unexpected and we felt angry and didn't know what to do. Once some time has passed, however, we began to realize while the virus may have put a temporary stop in our activity, it gave us time and opportunity to think about our music and attempt something new.

As a final word, Jimin said "We are releasing Dynamite because we want people to be happy. And to be happy, you have to take care of your health. So I hope our fans will keep wearing masks and won't get sick."

The press conference has just ended. Get ready to disco!
