What is a love song?
We associate it with romance, not violence. Yet love can tilt toward jealousy & possession. RM names that volatility directly in Don’t Ever Say Love Me:
“Love is a violence, you did know that somebody someday is
Gonna break all of the silence, we losin’ the balance”
Love destabilizes. As an art form, it has to decide what that force becomes
Makoto Fujimura argues that art is vulnerable to darkness as well as light. Its task is to depict that darkness without participating in it
Alain Badiou describes love as building a world from the perspective of Two rather than collapsing difference into One. Byung-Chul Han argues that love deteriorates when the other becomes a mirror of the self
BTS’s music often speaks in a similar way. It acknowledges love’s shadow without glorifying control or erasure
So what is a love song? It is not just an emotional expression in musical form. It shows what we do when love unbalances us. And whether we can sustain difference without violence

they wanted hybe to do the same thing they did with that drama. put it somewhere no one knows 😭
Oh they’ve been whining since the announcement was done also anyone used Fast ??👀
BTS’s comeback centers on “Korea.” Their first full-group album in four years, ARIRANG, reflects Korean roots, longing, and deep emotion, according to BigHit Music, and Forbes said it marks BTS’s return to their cultural origins and their mission to share Korean culture globally. Professor Kim Jeong-seop of Sungshin Women’s University, author of The BTS Universe and Viewer-Friendly Channels in the K-Culture Era: FAST, warned that the Netflix-only broadcast echoes K-Pop Demon Hunters, where Korean culture was used but production, distribution, and IP were controlled by Japanese and U.S. companies.
While the government and local authorities approved Gwanghwamun, handled safety, and prevented hotel price gouging to make the free concert possible, critics say Netflix benefits the most by holding the broadcast rights. They argue Korea missed a chance to use domestic platforms like FAST (Free Ad-supported Streaming TV) to keep revenue at home, build a win-win system, and reduce dependence on Netflix and the U.S., suggesting broadcasts be shared with FAST and terrestrial broadcasters, or that future BTS overseas tour broadcasts use Korean platforms.
Though he agrees Korean platforms needs work before competing globally 💀😭 and gov should’ve worked beforehand to keep it to fast 💀

connecting the dots..
during 'Indigo', he wondered how artists could create while starving right after the war. today, he stood before Lee Jung-seob’s silver foil paintings—art born from the same desperation and longing during the war.
his "tribute to Korean painters" isn't just a concept; it’s a lifelong journey of deeply respecting those who kept their soul alive through art, no matter how poor the nation was. he truly lives by his word. ♥️
(RM discussing the era of post-war Korean artists like Yun Hyong-keun who inspired 'Indigo') 💙🩵
RM: there were right after the war. We were like so poor, the country, the nation. I can’t even imagine like, you know, like that time, like how could, how can a man think of an art like when he’s like starving and barely eating, like no one even goes to see the paintings.
his painting is actually in my living room, like the main position. And when I see his painting, um, I sometimes really have a, yes, this is my own type of, you know, tribute.
There’s a many tribute to, you know, the past legends like Beatles or Michael Jackson, or or you know, Tupac or Biggie. But I think there’s no, no one that has ever done, you know, a tribute to a Korean painter.
So as a K-pop artist, so I think it’s gonna be really unique and fun.

Yoongi is not cold to the world either. Can we seriously let go of this narrative? He is kind, gentle, thoughtful and sweet all over. He literally wrote songs for his juniors in the industry so they know he's there for them, he always does everything ARMYs ask of him, when the world was busy throwing him off the cliff, he was working with kids to make their lives better and here we have this age-old wattpad narrative 'Yoongi is cold to–'
He is cold to no one! Stop painting him in wrong light fgs!

they’re fully leaving it to us as their number 1 promotional vehicle and THAT’S WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT 👏🏻👏🏻 been saying for years, the ultimate fan economy self-perpetuates. all the artist/label has to do is drop crumbs, dates, chances to connect, and we take it from there ✨

I think BTS is doing John Alan Lee's 6 kinds of love, AKA the Color Wheel Theory of Love. A queer Canadian psychologist, he worked to undo bias against LGBTQ people, advocated the right to die & literally wrote the book on cruising. His autobiography was called "Love's Gay Fool."
Replying to @kookyun
Them being only 6 is irking me. Sure there's atleast one more type of love they could've added.

the “what is your love song” campaign reminds me strongly of the work of american artist barbara kruger, a former magazine editor whose photo-and-text combinations use the visual language and bold statement style of advertisements to question systems of power in our daily lives.

It looks like the cover art and one of the inspirations behind BTS "ARIRANG" comes from a novel by French philosopher Alain Badiou called "Éloge de L'amour", aka "In Praise of Love."
August 2023:
↓ 230809 RM Instagram Story Update, 2 Stories
↓ 230830 Weverse Live -- Namjoon mentioned the book and said he read it
"As we know, love needs re-inventing" - Arthur Rimbaud, "A season in Hell, Hallucinations 1," ("Une Saison en Enfer") the first page of "Éloge de L'amour"
↓ "In Praise of Love" (Éloge de L'amour) by Alain Badiou is a philosophical book that argues that love is not just a passing feeling, but a courageous "truth-seeking" adventure that transforms individuals by forcing them to experience the world from the perspective of "two" rather than one. Badiou defends love as a risky, enduring commitment against modern, consumerist, and "zero-risk" dating culture.

Hear me out (actually don't)
Jin is the centre of HYYH storyline
Jin asks 'What is your Arirang?'
6 silent tracks in 'What is your love song?' EP
6 members, 6 types of love, 6 answers?
Their keys to break the time loop?
7th being Jin's Arirang?
.....they were at the beach 👀
