BTS is TIME’s 2020 Entertainer of the Year

 

“We’re not sure if we’ve actually earned respect. But one thing for sure is that [people] feel like, O.K., this is not just some kind of a syndrome, a phenomenon. These little boys from Korea are doing this.” — RM

 

RM has always told me that BTS are just “seven guys from Korea who love music and like to perform.” I’ve been covering BTS since 2017, and by now I know he’s being too humble. They’re so much more. — Raisa Bruner

In September 2018, French daily newspaper, Le Monde quoted RM’s poem from 2005 when they reported about the Korean reunification topic.

The poem was written by RM, when he was in 5th grade!!

I found two versions of english translation of the poem. Both have the same meaning.

 

#Version 1.

Spoiler

“Korean Peninsula Tiger, and Unification”

 

Not a small rabbit but
a scary tiger.

 

Scratch is made on the tiger’s waist.

 

Hurt on the waist
struggling
one tiger continues to suffer.

 

China, and Japan, and United States
all looked down on us, and said we are not a tiger but only a small rabbit.

 

But the day when the scratch on the tiger’s waist washes away
the world will not be able to look down on us.

 

South will be like the north,
North will be like the south,

 

The day when the two colors on the Korean flag
unite and become purple,

 

70 million citizens
will become one
and look up to the sky with hands together,

 

That day will come one day.

 

Marching one step by step
to the place called unification,

 

We are not a small rabbit but
one brave tiger.

 

To a place where we are under one sky even in different places.

 

Trans cr: to owner

 

#Version 2.

Spoiler

“The Korean Tiger and Reunification”

 

Not a small rabbit,
but an intimidating tiger.

 

The tiger broke his back.

 

This tiger’s broken back makes him whimper
and gives him endless pain.

 

China, Japan, and the US
all looked down on us, calling us a rabbit and not a tiger.

 

But when the tiger’s back heals clean,
the world will not be able to look down on us anymore.

 

The South will resemble the North
and the North will resemble the South.

 

When the two colors on the flag mix to become purple in unity,

 

the 70 million citizens
will become one
and look up at the sky with hands in hands.

 

The day will come.

 

With each step we take,
we get closer to reunification.

 

We’re not a small rabbit,
but a brave tiger.

 

We may not be together, but we are looking up at the same sky.

 

The 70 million citizens are one with the tiger,
walking forward one step at a time.

 

Like this, we all walk toward reunification…

The poem uses a tiger in a metaphoric way to describe Korea. The quality and meaning behind the writing has many netizens shocked in amazement. Compliments took over the web,

• “Really a 5th grader? Dang, better than a high schooler.”
• “BTS always seems to have great interest in history, nation, and society. There is so much you can learn from listening to their music.”
• “Crazy. His grammar is better than my older brother.”
• “The poem is so well written. How can he write like that? I showed this to my parents and they clapped kekeke..”

Namjoon won the 2020 Art Sponsor of the Year Award from Art Council Korea for his donation to the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art (MMCA) in September.

 

 

The online awards ceremony was held yesterday. Namjoon was not present but Yoon Bum Mo, the director of the MMCA, gave a short speech describing Namjoon’s donation to the MMCA to publish out-of-print art books and distribute them to libraries and schools.

 

The VCR also mentioned his previous donation to the Seoul Samsung School (a specialized school for the hearing-impaired) to help provide music education to students who are hard of hearing. The hosts also talked about his love of art and his numerous visits to museums and galleries, which has spurred many of his fans to also visit.

BTS’s RM, singer Henry, and more have been recognized for their work to support the arts!

 

On December 21, the Arts Council of Korea announced its 2020 Patrons of the Arts. Through an annual ceremony that began in 2012, the council recognizes individuals and companies that have taken the lead in providing support for the arts during the year.

Insider's 30 Best Songs of 2020

 

Insider ranked the 30 best songs of 2020, weighing factors like critical acclaim, cultural impact, and listenability.

 

6. "Dynamite" may have been BTS' biggest hit this year, but "Black Swan" was their greatest artistic triumph.

 

"Black Swan" is a lush, theatrical song that grapples with self-doubt and fear — specifically, the BTS members' fear of dissonance. What happens when the biggest, most beloved band in the world doesn't feel creatively fulfilled by music anymore?

 

It's a truly fascinating choice as a single. "Black Swan" doesn't stomp and strut like "On," or blush and beam like "Boy With Luv." Rather, it broods and burns.

 

The song's shadowy production is anchored by a deliberate trap beat and the septet's sharp, unparalleled finesse; each line is delivered with a ferocious intensity.

 

The contrast is stunning. "Black Swan" sounds like anxiety and panic, even without understanding the Korean lyrics — but it feels like the focus and defiance that shines through that emotional fog, like a lighthouse beacon.
