I spent my whole lunch hour watching clips from School Rapper 2, a Korean rap competiton show involving kids born 1999-2001 (so, 16-18.) They are so good. (I am so old.)
This kid is AMAZING, and also talking about pretty taboo stuff: [link]

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Congrats, BTS! I bought the album and I love it!

I bought it too. There's something so charming about the way kpop does physical albums, with photobooks and posters and stuff. (We got the Y version - double-denim.)
What's your favorite song? Mine is Truth Untold.

I got the U version - all white.
It's hard to pick a favorite. I don't normally like ballads, but The Truth Untold is so emotional (and it calms down my cats!).
Other favorites are Airplane Pt. 2, Outro: Tear and 134340. Also Anpanman is a lot of fun!
Have you seen any of the performances for Airplane Pt. 2 or Anpanman? Love them!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I, on the other hand, am a major sucker for ballads, especially minor key. I am no one's teenager and BTS is not coming for me, but I'm grabbing that one.

If you like Truth Untold you are likely to also like Intro: Singularity; give it a try.

You may be onto something there. In The Truth Untold I found V's vocals most interesting, and I like the guitar work in this one. I'd like it better, I think, if it built more to something, but it's worth some more listens.

I find V's voice so beautiful. His style is way too breathy in most of what they record, but his voice tone when he really sings is so ... creamy is what I want to say, which sounds strange, but.
You might also check out Hyukoh's new EP (24: How to find true love and happiness) out today. I have only heard the title track (Love Ya) so far and don't love it but I think you liked Tomboy, right?

I did! Wasn't as thrilled with their back catalogue, but I do like Oh Hyuk's voice. Aside from Tomboy, I have two duets featuring him - MOMOM with Cifika and Can't Love You Anymore with IU.
I shall check out this new EP of which you speak. Oh! I found another song featuring V's vocal talents, namely Stigma. Nicely overwrought, I think Intro would have benefitted from a bit of the same kick. Actually the song that Intro reminds me of is IU's Sleepless Rainy Night (her cover version - I think it's from the same album as Last Night Story).
