[INTERVIEW] K-POPPED! INTERVIEW WITH BTS

Bangtan or better known as BTS are back with a brand new Skool Luv Affair Special Addition album and so is our series of K-popped! in Seoul! We managed to engage the boys with some questions!  Find out who's the crybaby of the group, who troubles Rap Monster the most and.... can you call Jungkook 'oppa'??

What do you think that separates BTS from other groups?

Rap Monster: I think the biggest difference is the music style. Our music style is very obvious, Hip-hop. And it is also distinguished that we make the songs ourselves. Since the members make beats and write lyrics, we can express straight our thoughts.

Suga: What we want to say is very clear. All our songs are about the common story of teenagers. But we speak about the common worries of teenagers rather than love stories. For that reason, there are many 'real life' words in our lyrics. We considered that going to a good university is the only one goal of life or not. And we borrowed the idea from Facebook for making 'I Like It', one of the track from our debut single, 2 COOL 4 SKOOL.

The latest album 'Skool Luv Affair' is the last episode from the school trilogy concept. Are you going to keep the trilogy concept for the next album too?

Rap Monster: We are planning the next album and have not fix the concept yet. We have so many ideas but it needs to be considered how to arrange these ideas. I think the School-style concept is enough with the latest album. We were originally planning to release 3 albums about school story.

BTS received a lot of rookie awards last year, what is the change that you feel the most? And what impact does it give the group?

Jin: We won six Rookie Awards in total. Including the Best Rookie award voted by European K-POP fans, we got 7 awards in total. Actually there's no big change but we are so happy and proud that we won 7 Rookie Awards because our first goal was winning Rookie Award and we made it. However all these awards is not the end but the beginning. We are preparing hard for the next album like a beginning.

BTS, hottest rookie group

Rap Monster and Suga were involved in underground scenes before debut. Are you still active as underground rappers? Still in touch with your friends who you met in those days?

Rap Monster: Now I can't perform in underground scenes because of the heavy schedule in BTS. But, I still keep in touch with my friends who performed with me at that time. When the crew which I belonged to performs, I promote them through BTS twitter. I want to perform with them again someday.

Any plans for a World Tour?

Suga: There's no detailed plan yet.

What do you remember the most during your debut days?

Suga: The debut showcase and the first shoot stage.

Before debuting, I'm sure many skeptics would say "You wouldn't make it in this industry.. " and such.. Did they come back to you and congratulate you for your current success?
