"He gave each member their own camcorders. He credits the group's own footage that made the film feel like a family home video – a slice of a moment in time."
I'm so excited for this. 😭
Another good read!
“BTS thus reminds us through the seemingly disparate nature of the album’s title and the songs within that it is good to preserve one’s culture, but it is also good to continue breathing fresh life into it and making a lofty and revered example of it accessible and personal.”
Such a good read!

Bangtan O’clock with Bangtan 🥹
Their tattoos are ‘stamped’ at the back of each member’s vinyl. They form the Big Dipper when they’re all laid out and connected.
It’s like we’re back in the Love Yourself [design] era. 🥹

DOOLSET CAME BACK 😭😭😭
For those who don’t know, Doolset is widely regarded as one of the top lyrics translators given how much nuance she provides with cultural context, rhyme scheme explanations, etc. She went on hiatus for Chapter 2, so it’s such a joy to see her return! #bts
This use of their 7 tattoos into the marketing and branding of this comeback is probably why their tattoo artist, POLYC, is given special thanks in the Arirang Album notes. Credit for the graphics at least, and maybe some of the concept.

중모리 rhythm notation from this Youtube video: https://youtu.be/cMLbLywatWM?si=5PzL7PT12PE9dBnV
Screenshot doolset's translation of Hobi's verse in Aliens. Transcript: Hello this your, hello this your new honey 박수 쳐, 흔들어, 중모리 Clap your hands and shake your body to the jungmori rhythm Note: 중모리 (pronounced jungmori) is a type of 장단 (pronounced jangdan), Korean traditional rhythm. Oh my god, do I look too funny? 뭐 어쩔래 just move for me What are you going to do about it? Just move for me Yeah move for me
I was reading doolset's marvelous translation of Aliens, and Hobi's rap about 중모리 is referring to the bass drum rhythm in the song that is an actual 중모리 rhythm!!

"...Hamilton described the production as being “among the most challenging” in terms of “sheer logistical complexity.”"
💜 #BTS ⊙⊝⊜
Reflecting on his experience working with BTS, who have been practicing for their big return inside a studio, Hamilton was most struck by their camaraderie and the "thoughtfulness to their work," he said. "They listen. They ask questions. They contribute ideas. They tease each other and laugh together. They are clearly seven friends who happen to be among the most famous people on Earth." BTS' work ethic has also left an impression on Hamilton, who after working on this year's Super Bowl, gathered all seven BTS members to rewatch it together. "They wanted to understand how these things come together. That level of engagement from an act of this stature is a real gift,"
