"K-Pop Lyrics Helper" hosted by Kim Tae-won who is a part of the legendary rock band, Boohwal & Kang Seung-yoon analyzed BTS' song 'Spring Day.'

It started with them reading out loud the lyrics & guessing who composed the song.

"I only know one team, and it's them..."
@BTS_twt
S: What would've been on the writer's mind?

T: Is missing somebody like crazy!

S: Perhaps the person is going through difficult times...

"Lately, we've been going through difficult times (COVID-19). The "you" in the lyrics can also allude to hope..." - Tae-won

@BTS_twt
S: If you see the list of songwriters here, there's Producer Bang Si-hyuk but RM and Suga are members of BTS...

"They're geniuses!" - Tae-won

@BTS_twt #MTVHottest BTS
"Idols that went on to become big hits at Big Hit..."

@BTS_twt #MTVHottest BTS
T: How old are these guys?

S: (On average, BTS is 26.7 y/o), They're in their mid-20s.

"When I was 25, I had nobody to help me out. The team leader had to handle everything from coming up with ideas to editing and revising the songs..." -Tae-won

Analyzing BTS' 'Spring Day.'

"There's a novel that inspired the music video...A short fiction by Ursula K. Le Guin..."

@BTS_twt #MTVHottest BTS
"(Sacrifice, selfishness, righteousness). I have all of that within me. Ultimately, the child's pain is me. Ultimately, the person who decides to walk away is me & the person who decides to stay is also me. All of that is within me." -Tae-won

@BTS_twt #MTVHottest BTS
"But wouldn't there be a way to enjoy life while maintaining your innocence?

That's why musicians are blessed. We are musicians. Is this an ordinary profession? Regardless of the fame/ fortune it might bring us 🎶 is a great spiritual blessing." -Taewon

@BTS_twt #MTVHottest BTS
They also ask the two hosts, what inspires them to write songs.

Tae-won answered, "Reading to find inspiration. So I write lyrics like I would a diary. My own intimate, personal story. People are most likely to relate to a very personal, honest song..."

@BTS_twt #MTVHottest BTS
Tae-won leads one of the most successful rock bands in Korean music history, Boohwal.

He said, "We hope BTS stays together forever!"

(BTS Forever♥)

An educational thread about “Microaggressions: What are they? How can we respond?”
We hope this thread is an incentive for everyone to read more about the topics of microaggressions. As always, we encourage you all to do your own research and always seek further insights surrounding these discussions.
Some scholars argue that racism, sexism, homophobia, & other forms of discrimination are no longer as obvious as in the past. Instead, people may demonstrate their biases & prejudices in more subtle ways, otherwise known as 'microaggressions'.

"Despite these accomplishments showing how BTS have pushed through western gatekeepers, the group still faces xenophobia and microaggressions outside of South Korea."
