Please enjoy our new birthday essay for Namjoon: "RM, With Sincerity (2025)" We explore the relationship between #Namjooning and artistry "Expressing meaning through imagery of the natural world is part of the language of RM’s art..." #BTS #RM medium.com/@btswithsinc...

Happy 2nd Anniversary to Tae's indelible Layover💜 "V’s stories are about love: relationships that have ended but remain unresolved, wistful daydreaming, relationships that seem to be slipping away. His album captures a languid, beautiful longing– intense+ #BTS #V_Layover medium.com/p/c6abadaa57a0

“Everybody who has… tried to learn to play an instrument can see themselves in Jungkook’s patient and methodical Lives, where he chooses songs while commenting on them and the difficulties they present for a singer, often correcting his pitch and starting over…”

“In contrast to the rest of FACE, which tells a story about the struggle to be free, “Letter” is an acoustic-based tonal shift to a mood altogether softer and accepting. The album version begins and ends with the sound of waves and the ocean.”+

"Another moving & important moment in 'j-hope IN THE BOX' is when j-hope visits his family in Gwangju, a city in the south of the country, where he was born. 'Safety Zone,' a gorgeous R&B track from Jack in the Box, plays in the background. 'Where’s the ray of light to relieve me in the + #BTS

“‘Layover’ also bears this contradiction: V’s choices in classic sounds like a jazz piano or flute, in addition to his luxurious baritone, are juxtaposed with distortion, vocal effects, ambient sounds and electronic beats.”+ #V #KimTaehyung

"RM offers a respite among the ads, the transactional, or the algorithmically directed through his Instagram account."+ #RM #BTS_Artistry

"Sitting on the other side of the screen, tuning intoJK's Lives in the middle of the morning, felt like catching up with a friend, even a family member, the kind you don’t need to dress up for when they visit or worry about having enough topics of conversation or…”

"This contrast is most compelling between Set Me Free pt. 2, the last song on FACE, & Rebirth (Intro). Both songs feature a choir, but their use is completely different. The choir of Set Me Free, which sounded like a dark force trying to hold Jimin down as he + #BTSart medium.com/p/c3b782ff8b8f

“The video, a cinematic work of brilliant storytelling, is inspired by film noir and Hong Kong gangster movies, two highly subversive genres, which further foreground the mix of past and modern elements that come together in the message and sound of the song.” #BTS #BTS_Artistry

“BTS highlight the number in their artistry; on their first album, in the song “Path/Road,” RM raps, “I thought I was alone, but then I learned that it was seven,” and, in their seventh year, they named their seventh album ‘Map of the Soul: 7’.” #BTS #BTS_Artistry

From our blog, a review of Namjoon's RPWP: "Unpredictable and disorienting, the first few listens of the album felt like an unsettling dream. However, the predominant emotion was exhilaration from seeing RM subvert all expectations of how this album would sound." #BTS medium.com/@btswithsinc...

“Divine as a descriptor can signify holy or God-like—an omniscient, timeless source as a companion in the search for meaning in life. RM describes it as divine pain, suggesting that even with the presence of the holy, the process of knowing oneself is still painful, like a fire.”

BTS's "poetic lyrics, creative stage performances, story-telling ecosystem, (and) visual genius...will be their most long-lasting contributions to humanity’s winding journey toward loving and making sense of the world through art." #BTS_Artistry #BTS medium.com/@btswithsinc...

“Throughout“Pandora’s Box” and the rest of Jack In The Box, j-hope presents a more complicated notion of hope, mainly in his relationship with how the word came to represent his ‘destiny’.” #JHOPE #BTS_Artistry medium.com/@btswithsinc...

From our blog: “Wild Flower’s themes of burning and fire are revisited in the first half of RPWP, where each song contains images of fire, beginning w 'Feelin’ high on a forest fire,' repeated three hypnotic times in “Right People Wrong Place.” #Namjoon #BTS_Artistry #BTS medium.com/p/10964c5da97a

“In this reciprocal, non-hierarchical relationship, BTS inspires the best of ARMY, who become, in turn, the face of BTS.” #BTS #BTS_Artistry BTS and ARMY: Paving the way to a new artist-fan relationship medium.com/@btswithsinc...

"We promise to always follow BTS in how they lead with sincerity and intentionality– for this reason, we chose to launch the blog on July 9, 2024, on the 11th anniversary of when BTS and ARMY established their connection."💜+ #BTS #BTS_Artistry BTS, With Sincerity medium.com/@btswithsinc...

Our latest post, "Run Beautiful," is an ode to the three new songs on BTS's Proof: Yet to Come, Run BTS, and For Youth. 💜"These love songs- to each other and ARMY, were meant to carry us through enlistment as ARMY and BTS waited for each other." 💜 #BTS #BTSArtistry medium.com/@btswithsinc...

"Imagine SUGA’s character in the story as the root note of a chord [...] & the six other members’ characters being a new note added to that chord, each note adding a new emotion to that basic major or minor chord & creating a whole that is multilayered, undefinable, & complex."

#RightPlaceWrongPerson was released a year ago on May 24. RM’s second album burns with nearly uncontainable intellectual and emotional energy. To listen to it, is to live it, and to live it means to be transformed by+ @seeuinttukseom.bsky.social @musingsbangtan.bsky.social #RM #BTS_Artistry

To celebrate the 1-year anniversary of RM's genius "Right Place, Wrong Person," we did some soul-searching to understand how its deep honesty illuminates human capacity for pain, love, & healing @seeuinttukseom.bsky.social @musingsbangtan.bsky.social #BTS_Artistry #BTS medium.com/@btswithsinc...

In celebration of #Jin_Echo, we share our favourite essay about Jin & how he showed up for ARMY & BTS upon his return. His music & appearances provided joyful reassurance of our everlasting love. #BTS #BTS_Artistry @musingsbangtan.bsky.social @seeuinttukseom.bsky.social medium.com/@btswithsinc...

From: "On D-Day, Agust D walks a path toward growth, healing, & peace:" "The inclusion of traditional Korean instruments, […] more prominently in the song “Haegeum,” […] adds texture to the music & anchors the songs in a specific cultural context that goes back over 1,000 years."+ #2YearsWithDDay

There's no place #jhope belongs more than the stage. His extraordinary #HOPE_ON_THE_STAGE_TOUR proves it. We wrote about our experience attending three of his shows in California for our blog, "BTS, With Sincerity." @seeuinttukseom.bsky.social @musingsbangtan.bsky.social

Happy belated 2nd Anniversary to FACE, Jimin’s first album. A true masterpiece of vulnerability and transformation, FACE is built around Jimin’s exquisite sense of melody and sweet, enchanting vocals. To celebrate, we are re-sharing our review of FACE on “BTS, With Sincerity.”+

In celebration of Yoongi's artistry, we look at how he uses island imagery to convey ideas about loneliness & isolation...which over time becomes about togetherness with his members & ARMY Happy Birthday, Yoongi!❤️❤️ @seeuinttukseom.bsky.social @musingsbangtan.bsky.social medium.com/@btswithsinc...

“There’s something about the unhurried way he does the challenge, the subtle hand on the wall — which is performance but also perhaps, technique — the elegant abandon with which he tilts his head to the side +

"For Yoongi, a precocious musician who started writing and producing music at just 13, fighting for one meant fighting for the other. To live was to create, and to create was to live." From "The Euphoria of Beauty and the Compulsion for Art." Link below. #BTS #AgustD #MinYoongi

“We know part of the meaning embedded in the song and music video is that this is the way in which BTS chose to tell ARMY about the depth of their self-doubt about their artistry." #BTS #BlackSwan @musingsbangtan.bsky.social @seeuinttukseom.bsky.social medium.com/@btswithsinc...

“Warmly shot for the most part on 8mm and 16mm film, the documentary feels more like a record of memories gathered together than a formal chronological depiction of the album’s creative process.” #BTS #RM @musingsbangtan.bsky.social @seeuinttukseom.bsky.social medium.com/@btswithsinc...

“Pushing the art exhibit metaphor perhaps further than I should, this song is the equivalent of that small piece placed in the middle of the gallery that grabs your attention immediately with its striking form and beauty.” #RM_Indigo @musingsbangtan.bsky.social medium.com/@btswithsinc...

“The trophies ARMY streamed…& voted for since the release of Golden are showcased in glowing, magical light, as if they are a tribute to ARMY as much as Jungkook. They seem to say, ‘Here, let me show you what we did together.’ So show me…” @seeuinttukseom.bsky.social medium.com/@btswithsinc...

“What was once his primary discipline, dance, became one among many other things he excelled at, but not the main focus. The documentary shows his process of reacquainting himself with his first passion.” #JHOPE @seeuinttukseom.bsky.social @musingsbangtan.bsky.social medium.com/@btswithsinc...
