IDOL ’BTS

Many of you have probably at least heard of BTS (Bangtan Sonyeondan).

In 2018, they became the youngest recipients ever—and the first idol group—to be awarded the Korean Order of Cultural Merit.

This likely owed a lot to their consecutive wins of the Top Social Artist award at the Billboard Music Awards in 2017 and 2018.

Furthermore, their 2018 album LOVE YOURSELF 轉 ‘Tear’, which includes this song, reached No.

1 on the Billboard 200, the main U.S.

albums chart.

There’s no doubt they’re a supergroup spreading K-pop and Korean culture worldwide.

This version even features the one and only Nicki Minaj.

Here is the intro by leader RM from BTS’s 2019 comeback album “MAP OF THE SOUL: PERSONA.” BTS was originally formed around RM, whose overflowing talent captivated the team’s creators.

As expected, RM’s commanding rap is a perfect fit to open the album.

You can feel the confidence and love for music befitting the leader of BTS, a group that has found success in America and become a representative act of Korea.

Boy With LuvBTS

How about trying to sing “Boy With Luv,” a song overflowing with happiness? It’s also famous for featuring Halsey.

It serves as an answer song to 2014’s “Boy In Luv”: while the earlier track focuses on self-love, this one centers on love for the people around you.

Singing them back-to-back might help the message come through even more clearly.

The key is generally on the higher side, so it’s also recommended for those who find low notes difficult.

What I want you to listen to on a cold winter day is “Butter” by BTS, the globally acclaimed Korean male hip-hop group.

Released as a digital single in May 2021, the track became a massive hit worldwide.

There are many remix versions of “Butter,” and among them, the “Hotter Remix” is my top recommendation for winter.

Its sound shifts from the original’s summery, happy vibe to something a bit darker and more mature, making it a perfect match for the chilly winter atmosphere!

Dis-ease (병)BTS

A track that gives me a kick when I start to slack off.

It’s so rhythmic that I can’t help but hum along.

One of the amazing things about BTS is how they can sing about a gloomy mood in such a pop way.

The lyrics in the first half really tell you to get your act together, but as it goes on, the vibe turns more positive—so nice.

It’s got that perfect touch that naturally puts you in that kind of mood.

Instead of being negative, it feels affirming, so it’s perfect when you’re feeling blue.

Also great when you need some rebellious spirit or a “just watch me” fire.

It feels connected to BTS’s core, and it’s seriously inspiring.

Go GoBTS

Here’s what tennis player Naomi Osaka, who has achieved a world No.

1 ranking, was reportedly listening to: a song by the Korean hip-hop group BTS.

It’s included on their 2018 album ‘FACE YOURSELF.’ The lyrics say, “Let’s work hard and make money every day!” Money is important, isn’t it…? No, it’s really a positive message.

N.OBTS

Let me introduce “N.O,” a song known for its powerful lyrics.

It’s one of the tracks included on the album “O!RUL8,2?”.

The Japanese version, “N.O -Japanese Ver.-,” is also well loved.

The song carries a message along the lines of “Live the way you want.” Its lyrics convey a protest to the world while repeating the simple phrase from the title.

There are English lines scattered throughout, but they use only familiar words, making it easy to sing.
