BTS☆STYLE VOL.16: A WARNING TO YOUR LOVER......A NEW SONG ABOUT THE FEELINGS OF A MAN FRUSTRATED WITH LOVE
BTS' previous work "BOY IN LUV" reached 4th in the Weekly Single Ranking! Now, with even more vigor, the South Korean boys group Bangtan Sonyeondan is releasing their long-awaited 3rd Japanese single "Danger-Japanese Ver.-" With how much their previous release gained popularity, this time it's a comeback! We were told about their latest work "Danger-Japanese Ver.-" and we're drawn to BTS' appeal even more!
▮The highlight of the new song's performance is the "high blood pressure dance"
――BTS' 3rd Japanese single "Danger-Japanese Ver.-" really gives the impression of a dangerous man, with an intense hip hop number unique to BTS.JIN : In Korean, you say "a man among men" as "Sangnamja" but in "Danger-Japanese Ver.-", the meaning of "Sangnamja" differs a bit. "Even though I really love you, why don't you love me back?" It's a song showing the resentment of a man facing a bad relationship.V : A warning to your lover!
――This work is not directed towards adults, but rather a warning towards your lover?V : Yes, that's right!
――"Danger" was released in August as a part of your first full album "DARK&WILD" and was newly recorded in Japan. How did the recording go?SUGA : "Danger" Korean version was recorded in America. For "Danger-Japanese Ver.-", we had KM-MARKIT (having helped us with our previous work) help write the Japanese lyrics. He gave us a lot of advice so we were able to achieve a fun recording.
――This has become the third time recording in Japanese. Are you growing accustomed to it?All : (immediate reply) No (laughs).JIMIN : To tell you the truth, up until now this song was the hardest in regards to pronounciation.All : Yes, it's true.
――Which part was especially difficult?J-HOPE : Naturally, Korean and Japanese pronunciation differ but,
while making the best of my Korean accent, expressing in Japanese was really difficult.JIN : Particularly, I struggled at the "mou kotaerarenai" part. Up until now, we've been singing in Korean, and so we've held a responsibility to uphold a certain image and we're able to match the finer details of the language closely, but since it's really different this time, if you don't remember the small nuances/details, you're in trouble.JUNG KOOK : Rapping the "kiku kedo" part of "kiku kedo hibikanai shinzou ni" was especially hard.
――Reciting one's lines well is of great importance, isn't it.All : (saying the line badly on purpose) "Kiku kedo~"V : "Kiku kedo~" (cough cough) (cut off his voice while saying this)
――(laughs).JIMIN : I'm always worrying that our singing voices won't properly relay the message to the Japanese fans. But, at the time of the MV shooting, after completing "Danger-Japanese Ver.-" and listening to it for the first time, you could hear the beautiful pronunciation. "I'm glad we recorded really well!" was what I thought.
――Despite everyone's worry, "Our Japanese has improved, huh~" is what you thought while listening.RAP MONSTER : (with a big smile) I'm really glad! I also worried a lot, so it's a relief.V : Now, this time's charm point is-JIMIN : (sexily) "Madowaseru na~ mou"V : -this. (laughs)RAP MONSTER : Everyone please pay attention!
――I understand. Please tell me about the highlight of the "Danger-Japanese Ver.-" performance. Last time he was in front of the camera, V introduced the King Kong dance to us, and now?JIMIN : The highlight this time is the high blood pressure dance.
――High blood pressure dance?V : Starting now, what kind of dance will you show us Jimin!All : 5,6,7,8~♪ "Dame da, oi! Fuzaketeru no ka? Yame da, uh! Asobareru no wa~"JIMIN : (while the members sing, gets up and dances in high spirits)All : Oh~! (applause)JIMIN : (agreeing pose)
――There's focus on the arm muscle, I see.V : It's the performance point!JIMIN : (showing off the muscles on his right arm)
▮The music video's protagonist is V! The rest of the members are extras......
――It's truly full of manliness. Well then, the "Danger-Japanese Ver.-"'s main point is?RAP MONSTER : The acting! Especially V!SUGA : Everyone must definitely pay attention to V's acting!V : Bad~ Bad bad!! (laughs)
――V, what kind of performance did you show?V : (in a loud voice) Bad~ Bad bad!!
――Could it be that that's one of your lines?V : (as if it's obvious) Yes!RAP MONSTER : (hurriedly says) No, it's not true. (bitter smile)
――This time, it features V's cool appearance?JIMIN : Yes, that's right!JIN : In the MV, V gestures while rapping.V : (with a smug face) I'm a rapper!RAP MONSTER : He's MC V. You're able to see a new V!V : Do you know Eminem? I'm the same as Eminem.JUNG KOOK : Eminem. (laughs)V : Yes, I'm Eminem!JIN : Also, we play the role of V's friends.V : (gazing from above) Everyone's Eminem's friend~RAP MONSTER : We're extras. (laughs)
――This time, protagonist V is supported by the other members?SUGA : Yes, that's right.JIN : Anyway, when watching the MV, I think you'll understand what we're saying.J-HOPE : Everyone please look forward to it!V : Please anticipate it!!RAP MONSTER : Well then, our series will start again from now!All : Yaaay!! (applause)RAP MONSTER : Through this work, we want to show you many unforgettable sides of us so, together with V's acting (laughs), please look forward to it!All : Thank you~~!!
