K-pop super band BTS is one of the most popular Korean pop band in the world right now. It is a septet and they are so adorable that they say the absence of even one member feels huge for the rest of the band. For the unversed, Suga had had surgery recently and had been resting. Many BTS fans, popularly and fondly known as ARMY, have been concerned about SUGA since his recent shoulder surgery. However, worry, not as J-Hope recently announced that he (Suga) is "quickly recovering."
"SUGA is quickly recovering at the moment. The absence of even just one member feels huge for us, so all the members including SUGA himself are hoping that he gets better quickly, so that he can join us on stage for us to become whole again," J-Hope told IANS. The South Korean boy band, also comprising RM, Jin, Jimin, V and Jungkook, have been entertaining music lovers with their catchy and positive numbers since 2013.
This year BTS created history as for the first time ever the band topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart with their first-single post-COVID lockdown, "Dynamite". It is also their first single sung entirely in English. At the recently-announced 2021 Grammy Awards nominations, BTS also got a Best Pop Duo/Group Performance nod for the foot-tapping disco-theme track.
Opening up on the same, Jung Kook said, "We're very thankful for the love and support that we have received with 'Dynamite'. It also reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, so it is very meaningful for us, but we don't necessarily think this was because it was an English track."
"Our goal with 'Dynamite' was to give a burst of energy to the listeners and we're just glad to have achieved that goal. We are eager to continue to give hope and joy to our listeners through our music," he added. And THB, their latest music does just that. Talking about their new album "BE (Deluxe Edition)", RM shared: "We believe all of our albums are important and have played important roles in our career. 'BE' is an album that we created to reflect our current thoughts and emotions and deliver a message of hope to our fans all over the world."
"Like the meaning of the title track, 'Life goes on', we want to comfort people around the world through the message that life will continue even in this difficult moment. If that message is well conveyed, we will have achieved our goal," Namjoon added.
The band members went beyond singing for this album. Jimin took on the role of the project manager for the album, Jungkook directed the music video for the lead single, "Life goes on", and V was given the responsibility of the visual director. "We consistently try to convey the messages we want to deliver to the world honestly and confidently through our music. However, in order to do so, we've felt that singing and dancing isn't enough, and it's important for us to participate in overall aspects of the album-making process, such as songwriting and producing, which we continuously make an effort to improve in," said V.
The album has eight songs, which touch upon topics like sadness, depression, how the idea of traveling will change in the future, about hope, especially at a time when people are dealing with some kind of a mental health issue. "After a series of discussions with our label and producers, we as a group selected songs that felt the most right for the theme of this album. The final tracklist was also decided after discussions among us," said Jimin.
Now, they are eagerly waiting to meet their precious fans. Talking about which they were asked whether they would like to visit India and guess what Jin has to say, "We're ready to meet our fans whenever we can as soon as this pandemic comes to an end. There is nothing we want more than to go on tour to meet ARMY again in person. We really want to reach as many ARMY in the world as possible, so we hope to visit India in the future if an opportunity is given."
We CANNOT keep calm.
