BTS better than ever

They are trying their best and facing a lot of challenges. Thanks for showing some of the challenges. Netflix could show more about their feelings like how they do it and face this complications in their own time. We saw something from Jimin and it gave me some good feelings about how he is just one of us and should be protected as a person without being harsh to him.They had discussed about putting the cultural song at the end of body to body and knowing that this masterpiece could be never heard if they didn't accept to use it is such a surprising moment for me and sure for a lot of army's.

BTS IS BACK!

This was beautifully done documentary. All the members are great at showing their vunerable side, and to see Namjoon struggles with the lyrics shows his true genuine side and how hard it is to keep writing with the pressure they all have on their shoulders (Showing that festa clip was pure evil btw.) Only minus from me that it focuses on one or two songs, which is a shame, because I was looking forward seeing the creative process of entire album and the 14 songs.

Great Documentary of Making Their Album

Fantastic effort. It's really hard to return after 2-3 years of being gone. I applaud them for doing their Military service and coming back again as Btw and figuring out their direction they want to go. Let's face it, things have changed since they left; they grew up in the military, the world is different, music has changed, styles have changed, etc. I can imagine it's hard enough to come home to the change from military to civilian life, to be thrown into recording a new album in the US immediately. These guys are really talented musicians and singers. They are humble and with the new title "Arirang" they did have a concern some global audience may not understand the meaning of it and I admit I am one if the people who never heard of it before so I asked AI that suggested video featuring BTS explaining the meaning and how the album relates to the expression. It makes so much sense now and love it even more. They worked so hard in singing in English on the documentary too; didn't realize how hard it was since the words were translating to different amounts of syllables, etc to make verses work. Just want to say I appreciate that. I do have a K-Pop playlist with songs that pull me in just by the the tune, voices snd beats since I have no idea what they are singing and always appreciate when at least the chorus is in English if nothing else. They seem to all get along so well and are doing what they want to do in life so wish them success and happiness.
