Welcome Back to BTS Memories, Today I breakdown two songs from the Love Yourself Answer Album, "Best of Me" and "I'm Fine". Both songs hold deep meanings of two lovers who are trying to mend a realtionship and other song representing how BTS has made success and don't need someone to rely on for something and instead they can rely on one another. "I'm Fine" lyrics could also hold the meaning of realizing that you are not alone in your journey. Thanks for listening to BTS Memories See you next time, Em *in case you would like to check out my new podcast* https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/em755

Hey ARMY! Welcome back to BTS Memories! I dive into the songs "Haegeum " and "AMYDGALA" by Agust D. "Haegeum " explores the struggles about forbidden freedoms. The word Haegeum means lifting a ban or something similar to it. Also, the Haegeum is a Korean Instrument. "AMYDGALA " explores the struggles that Suga faced growing up and the struggles of idol life and his mental health hoping to become free from the darkness that surrounded him and wanting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. The amygdala is the part of the brain that deals with emotions and memory, Suga expresses this in the song. Overall, Suga wants to let go of the past and move on and grow stronger from it. Thank you so much for listening, I hope you have a great day and week ahead. See you next time! Thanks, Dangsin-eul Saranghaeyeo ~ Em

Hey ARMY! Welcome back to BTS Memories! I dive into the songs "Wild Flower" by Rm ft Youjeen and "Set Me Free" by Jimin. "Wild Flower" explores the struggles that RM faces when it comes to fame and success. He wants to stay grounded in who he is and what he loves about music. RM makes reference to a famous metaphor found in many BTS songs, the mask. RM describes how he wants to be free from it and see reality. "Set Me Free" explores Jimin becoming free from the darkness that surrounded him and wanting to see the light at the end of the tunnel, He wants to do it himself and for someone to not do it for him because if someone does it for him it's not going to change anything for him and if he does himself it can change everything. Thank you so much for listening, I hope you have a great day and week ahead. See you next time! Thanks, Dangsin-eul Saranghaeyeo ~ Em

Hey ARMY! I am so sorry for not posting or uploading when I usually do. I have been busy with school and life etc. Since I have been busy with school and have things going on, I have decided to take a break from this podcast for a little while. I also have lots of tests and exams and will be busy studying etc.  I am so sorry that I do this but I think it's better for me so I don't feel the need to be uploading on a constant schedule. I hope that I will be back in a few weeks but I really don't know for sure! So, please know that if I don't upload when aII supposed to, I am probably busy with other things. I hope you all understand! Thank you so much for listening, I hope you have a great day and week ahead. See you soon! Thanks, Dangsin-eul Saranghaeyeo ~ Em

Hey ARMY! Today, I discuss "Pandora's Box" & "DNA"( DEMO)! "Pandora's Box" is about J-hope being the one left with hope after everything else is gone. This song talks about how Jhope chose his name for BTS and how he wants to be a light of hope to the members and ARMY.  J-hope expresses how he tried to bring hope even when all was lost. "Pandora's Box" is based on the story of a woman named Pandora who Zeus gave a box but she was told never to open it for reasons disclosed to her. Pandora got very curious and eventually, she opens the box and horrible evils came out such as greed, envy, hate, pain, hunger, war, poverty, and death. Becoming frightened by the evil things she closes the box and hope is the only thing left. Hope is what humans use to survive the wickedness that was let out by Pandora. Moving on, the "DNA" Demo version by Jhope has a very similar meaning to the original by BTS. "DNA" is about how young passionate love is what connects through the fate of DNA. The song is very different from previous songs by BTS. In the demo, the meaning is very similar, mostly the lyrics are talking about the connection of DNA and how it connects to love just like the original. The song is just as amazing as the original but slightly shorter. Thank you so much for listening, I hope you have a great day and week ahead. See you next time! Thanks, Dangsin-eul Saranghaeyeo ~ Em

Hey, ARMY! I cannot believe that "BAD DECISIONS" is OUT! It's amazing! "BAD DECISIONS" is about obsessing over a celebrity or crush and wondering if you will be able to see them soon or just being in the moment at the concert. Realized how amazing they are! As Armies, we certainly do this as we care so much for BTS as a whole and the members individually too. For example, Whenever one or all the members are doubting something, We always without a doubt give them positive affirmations to clear their mind(s). We truly care about the members so much as they have helped us in their own ways and being a fangirl is the least we can do for them! Moving on, we do similar acts for crushes, whenever we get the chance to talk or just look at them, etc. "BAD DECISIONS" talks about and explores this deeply to the point where the obsession is even worth it to continue the fantasy of the crush. "BAD DECISIONS" bring thoughts and we can wonder forever about them. Thank you so much for listening, I hope that you have a great day and week ahead. See you next time! Thanks, Dangsin-eul Saranghaeyeo ~ Em
