Do you ever think about how courageous BTS are? The courage required to answer the calling to be an artist is not for the faint of heart. I’ve been thinking about this for a long time, and finally wrote an essay called “The Courage of Being BTS.”+

“Even if in every song in “Arirang” the seven members’ contributions are weaved almost inextricably, each member also shines in their own way.” We wrote about some of the moments that most move us in “Arirang” and we organized them by member, in fan chant order!
Because there will never be another first Arirang concert with the kind of rain we saw today, we wrote some observations about the interplay of BTS's storytelling and rain. Arirang is about overcoming struggle...and, in spite of it all, BTS and ARMY still made magic medium.com/@btswithsinc...

When BTS debuted in June 2013, they announced their arrival by asking youth, “What is your dream?” in their debut single, “No More Dream.” In 2026, before the release of their new album, Arirang, they once again asked a question: “What is your love song?+
“Arirang is a continuation of this positioning: It’s a celebration of the individual and the collective…[and a way for] BTS to decenter themselves and remind us that “they are but one in a long line of artists and contributors to their history and culture.”+
“To me, BTS’s position and outlook has always seemed to be “This is who I am in the world,” looking at and investigating the self to better exist in the collective. The same dynamic works at every level or from any angle one looks at BTS.”+
“To listen to BTS is to engage with the complexity of the world, to walk a path alongside a group of artists who, through their music, remind you of the beauty of the world, despite all its horrors, darkness and injustices.”+
“One of the elements I most loved about BTS when I started to listen to their music…was their outward-looking perspective. Their lyrics, rooted in personal experience, always reached further in search of meaning: what does it mean to dream? How do you define love?”+
“To their personalities, so different yet beautifully complementary, BTS has always been about shining individually to come together as a greater whole.”+
“From their music, which seamlessly combines their seven very distinct voices into a harmonious whole, their dynamic and teamwork, which relies on each member playing a specific but essential role,”+
