And look who they met while in NYC! Wonder if maybe they had time to film a special performance ….???

They did great, their speech (and performance) is so hopeful. I wish they would come visit DC while they're here in our time zone.

Their address to the UN starts at 7.38

BTS at the UN yesterday!



Lucky backup dancers from New York!

DCUM Mom here. I saw "Mic Drop" performance on SNL and that was it, down the rabbit hole of their now 8 year history.

Check out on You Tube: I Need You; Dope; Fire; Not Today; Perfect Man (a cover); Spring Day; Idol; Pied Piper (live); Airplane Pt. 2 (live); I'm Fine. Their performances on various Asian music awards shows. Jin's solo performances (for sheer sweetness).

I about fell off my chair when I saw the translated lyrics for Pied Piper and Blood Sweat and Tears. I seriously almost never look up lyrics because I don’t care that much, I just like the sound of the music.

Black Swan was the last performance in front of a live audience. It is so good.

I hope they can perform it together at some point. Maybe some awards show? It’s hard to believe she’s the same age as the members!

What’s hard to believe? She looks like an adult and they are trying to look like teenagers.

The Zach Sang interview from yesterday was pretty cute. They have a ton of music with a big range, you don't have to like every song.

Could be, but there’s guys roughly their age who are still doing challenging moves + the younger members are still in their mid-20s and I don’t think have an injury history? Boy groups promoting into their late 20s+ is a pretty new thing really … groups tend to go their separate ways because of the military enlistment thing and some members wanting to concentrate more on acting and leaving their initial agency. They have to work it into their contract with their new management that they’d also like to promote with their old group at times.

Anyway, getting off topic. I agree they need to go back to their old song writing teams. Didn’t Ed Sheeran have his hands in some of their other songs, I want to say Make It Right? Which was a total dud for me. I wasn’t a fan of BTS’s original sound when they first debuted though. Fans are nostalgic for songs like Fire which just sounds like noise to me. I think they were at their best between like, 2017-2020 until Covid.

Unfortunately Korea is having a Covid wave and it’s affecting a ton of groups which are now having positive tests and quarantines and having to stop their promos. I think BTS said they wouldn’t promote in Korea until live audiences were allowed at shows and concerts which could be 6+ months off at this rate.

The choreography does not have to be as elaborate as mic drop or ON. “Boy with Luv” is very great.

It makes me wonder if the are avoiding challenging choreography because of their age/ injuries. I’d expect the PTD routine at a tv Christmas presentation.

Permission to Dance is not going to be added to my BTS playlist which I listen to daily. Yoongi and RM should have stopped this from happening. They need to get Bang Si-hyuk back to writing songs with them. The choreography sucks as well. They need to work with Quick Crew again. This song is a dud.
