The Overlooked BTS Album | A Video Essay

I’m really tired of people acting like it all went downhill for BTS since the release of Dynamite when literally BE exists. So, I made this video which explains the meaning and intention of BE and the reason I think it’s an important and great body of work while also providing explanation why so many people seem to overlook it or don’t care for it.
I hope you enjoy this video which was intended to be much shorter but oh well, maybe it will make you forget the horrific reality we are living in for one hour. And of course, please share your thoughts on BE in the comments!
