As is his tradition with every new album release, Namjoon livestreamed his behind-the-scenes review of Map of the Soul: 7 this morning. I'm still waiting for official subtitles, but I read some translated transcripts of this livestream, and now I'm just sad. Sad for us, sad for them, sad for the world.
"We were chanting it like a spell: We can't be worn out, we must be happy, we must smile. Because lots of people must be having a hard time right now, but at least we can do live broadcasts. I repeated those words like a spell; we should smile, we should be alright. If we aren't, the fans who are waiting for us will feel even more worn out. Same with the concerts. [BTS was forced to cancel all four of the concerts in Seoul for the upcoming Map of the Soul tour due to the coronavirus.] It's really difficult, and I feel powerless."
"Honestly, there were so many things we'd been preparing, and going back to us, we prepared for a really long time. For so long. And practiced so much. We've talked about that several times. "It wasn't fair," "It's so unfair," "We have to show this in front of people"; there were such sides, since we can't only talk about good things all the time. We have these sides of ourselves, too, but we're saying it here, that even so, we'll keep moving forward within our capabilities, and 'we must go insane to remain sane,' whether it be through practice or something else. Doing so, we move forward. And all of this is held in our album."
"These days, when I stayed home after finishing the TV recordings early, I would suddenly have bursts of anger take over me, screaming by myself out of anger, because I felt wronged. We were upset because there is nothing we can do."
