talk about hard performance and the new song

Following the debut single which was sensational, 2nd single "BOY IN LUV-Japanese Ver.-" is released on July 16! This time, they talked about the listening point of new song and highlights of performance and music video!!

* Choreography configuration they never did before until now. Dance choreography with an attention to the detail.

――The debut single "NO MORE DREAM-Japanese Ver.-" have a good start for come out, with recorded the 3rd in the Daily single ranking (Weekly single ranking is 8th), so how about your impressions for your Japanese debut actually?

【J-HOPE】I felt so good! It became an opportunity that BTS take a new step. It was really glad to be able to show you in the best state of us to all the Japanese fans.

――Were there any changes in the state of mind?

【J-HOPE】I thought that I want to try even harder in the future, and we would like to the vigorous activity in Japan.

――As early the 2nd single will be released was decided! Please tell us listening point of "BOY IN LUV-Japanese Ver.-".

【RAP MONSTER】Now, we're wearing a school uniform. The lyric of this song has been expressed Students' Love directly, so I think that we can get to have many sympathy of the same generation. And I think that this song can be enjoyed towards wide range of generations.

――This song has heavy bass sound, and aggressive sound condensed the power of BTS, but  where is the point we should pay attention in the performance of "BOY IN LUV-Japanese Ver.-"?

【RAP MONSTER】This song is more bright atmosphere than our debut song "NO MORE DREAM-Japanese Ver.-". So we tried to funny and uplifting dance choreography.

【J-HOPE】The point of choreography is "King Kong Dance". We dance "King Kong Dance" during part of V is singing!

【JIMIN】(towards to V)Please show dance!

【V】Eh! Now? Do dance? Here?

【RAP MONSTER】 Right now of course~! (*The dance can be seen in the video!)

【JIMIN】Anyway, there are a lot of choreography of the configuration that has not been done until now, and we had attention to detail. So, please check our dance carefully over and over again!

*  Sometimes break down from exhaustion in the dressing room after performance

――The performance of BTS is very difficulty and innovative. This song is also very hard, isn't it?

【RAP MONSTER】Yes. It was very difficult. It's really hard always.

【JIMIN】But it was choreographed quirky as never before, so I was able to enjoying performance while practice time.

――In music video, members dressed in school uniforms were running around in a classroom.

【JIMIN】This time, the dance scene is main content in this music video, so I was able to concentrate on dancing and singing.

【V】But we have taken the dance scene again and again, so after the shooting, my body couldn't move. (Laugh)

【JUNG KOOK】There is a scene three members(J-HOPE、JIMIN、JUNG KOOK) who charge of the dance have danced freestyle.

I think that scene is pretty cool! We have shot the music video after we have a lot of activities in Korea. So our choreography is also perfect, and I was able to shoot with confidence.

――The dynamic performance that all 7 members dance with perfectly  synchronization is the best part. By the way, are there any episodes when you shot  music video?

【RAP MONSTER】In the studio, many foods had been prepared, so I was not able to stand temptation of the food during shooting. (Laugh)

――What was the food which you wanted to eat in particular?

【RAP MONSTER】Chocolate Pie and Ramen!

【SUGA】You ate ramen first of all in the morning, right!?

【RAP MONSTER】Ah! I forgot.. (Laugh)But, I ate Chocopie when it is fully exhausting in a long time shooting, it was delicious especially!

――When you eat something sweet when you're tired, your power will be recovered, right? So... please tell us about listening point of "N.O-Japanese Ver.-" and "JUST ONE DAY-Japanese Ver.-".

【JIN】The lyric of "JUST ONE DAY-Japanese Ver.-" is very sweet, so I want you listen and pay attention to the lyric means from all.

"N.O-Japanese Ver.-" is the most difficult performance song that we've been showing ever. If there is a chance that we can show the performance to the Japanese fans, I want you to see the live performance is how much hard.

――And I think every time...it is so amazing that members are not out of breath in spite of very hard performance. I think it is a result of daily practice.

【JIMIN】Some members have fallen in the dressing room after our performance. (JIMIN met J-HOPE's eye) I have seen many times that J-HOPE has fallen.

【J-HOPE】 Anytime,I playing on the stage with whole in mind and body. So I have became a lifeless shell every time after performance.(Laugh)
