3. Now go to this website were you can upload the mp3 file, the cover, and add the artist, the genre, the name of the album AND the number of the track. For Arirang on Apple Music the track should be number 17 to appear last (to not disturb streaming)
4. The website makes it possible to add lyrics, I copy-pasted mine from Genius but you can pick and choose what you want (you can add some with translations in brackets, romanised korean etc.)
5. I saved my new mp3 file on my desktop and opened the Appple Music app, then dragged and dropped the file, saved it in favorites and (while niot necessery) I also airdropped the file on my phone (whch is usefull for Spotify local files too)
5.1
Apple Music:
You need to sync your library through your computer/mac and phone. I then closed and opened the app on my phone and it appeared as a playable track
5.2
Spotify:
For Spotify you need to go to account settings and enable local files, if you do this on desktop, you need to send the mp3 file to your phone for it to be playable. Since it doesn't automatically add it to the album you can just create a playlist and add it last
I hope I explained it simply enough but if you have ANY further questions, let me know and I will answer to the best of my abilities. I will do it now for other tracks as well, including my beloved RM mixtape. I have already done Ddaeng 😌

Running background checks on everyone bts are remotely related to is unhealthy & unrealistic. Working with someone doesn’t mean sharing their values and the expectations people set for bts are both dehumanizing & impossible. They are artists, not moral gods, spare them and us
++
If you think you morally don’t align with them, detach yourself. Take your power back. You can’t educate grown men (unless you actively infantilize them) and shaming them for not reaching your impossible moral standards is harassment and emotionally taxing for you, them and us
Every corner of every industry is filled with shitty people, and to think you can isolate yourself in an echo chamber of likeminded people is a utopic concept that doesn’t translate off of social media platforms
Streaming culture never changed and always served as a means to an end, and that end is supporting BTS in a fraudulent industry of paid radio and intense playlisting so bts can make the music they want and still find success. It didn’t change, but you did
++
Streaming is enjoyable if your heart is in it because it’s nothing more than strategically listening to your favourite music so your favourite artists benefits from it. When LV Bag dropped I wanted to loop the shit out of it but that doesn’t help Hobi
Army streaming culture exist because regardless of their numbers, bts refuses to partake in industry standard practices to inflate their success through manufactured virality from paid deals
To anyone that needs to hear this,
BTS’s legacy is protected because it was built on the foundations of their music & respect driven fan-artist relationship.
These PR media attacks are nothing new, but due to their absence, they appear stronger.
These too, will be gone
(1/9)
BTS are not only a music group, they are also a phenomenon. Their legacy is that of unprecedented scale, a Korea group not from the established companies within the niche, breaking into the global industry and doing so by not engaging with industry standard tactics (2/9)
Because of that, BTS receive just as much hate as they do respect. Respect from the artists, the music lovers, the creative minds, and hate from those they refused to shake hands with, be manipulated by, or don’t fit the expectations of (3/9)
Techno Orientalism can be defined as the western representation of East Asia as hyper technological entities with intellectually primitive people, we see it in how Seoul or Tokyo are praised for being in the future but people are dehumanised as robot-like subjects +
We also saw it in 2017, when BTS broke in the west and every journalist and their mother were rushing to cover the “dark side” of kpop, calling companies factories and describing idols as mindless doll-like entertainers +
