Generation BTS: All The Albums

It's time to finish off our exploration of the masterpiece that is the Wings album! In this episode we look at the intro, the unit songs and the OT7 bangers that this album has to offer, and as usual give our takes on what we think it all means. As listeners will undoubtedly expect we spend quite a bit of time interpreting Blood, Sweat and Tears, and discuss everything from Grecian gods, biblical...

We miraculously managed to get tickets to the BTS Yet to Come in Busan concert, and we're here to tell you all about it! Please join us as we reminisce about our wonderful trip out to South Korea, including our merch-getting adventures, our nights out, our street-food stories and our interactions with locals and fellow Armies along the way. We'll also tell you about everything BTS-related we got u...

We finally have the absolute pleasure of talking about the Wings album, and we're starting with the seven solos from our seven wonders! Join us in exploring what was most of the boys' first foray into doing songs on their own, and the songs' connections to their personal stories, the BTS Universe and to a book from 1919. Kristine tries to explain symbolism of the short films, Leanne tries to get o...

A brand new era! We take you through everything The Most Beautiful Moment in Life, aka HYYH part 1 on this episode, which covers a time marked both by the beauty of youthful optimism and by the existential angst of having to choose the right path in life. In going through these songs we discuss desperate young love and love ending, hard work and the challenges facing younger generations, having fu...

We are back with our initial reactions and thoughts on Jack In the Box! It's a bit of a different one this time around in that we aren't actually going to go song by song over the lyrics, but instead we just take some time to review and discuss the content we got in the release schedule and since (of course including some fangirling over Hobi's many marvellous jumpsuit looks). We then give our fir...

We’re going back to the School era! Join us as we talk through everything O!RUL8,2?, the second ever mini album by BTS. In this one we discuss academic pressure, love as coffee, dragon memes, Korean dialects, watermelon babies and what the boys would do if they ruled the world (thankfully they didn't at this point in time at least..). There’s obviously also still time for some calling out the hate...

Welcome to episode 4 (aka the third official one) where we discuss all things Map of the Soul: Persona! In this one we talk about everything from Namjoon's amazing lyricism, to Jungian concepts of the psyche, through to JK's amazing hair in this era and the life-changing performances of Dionysus. We also manage to find meanings of romantic love, longing for ARMY, and connections to the BTS Univers...

Our second *regularly scheduled* episode! We look back on the great debut, the very first BTS album ever to exist, appropriately titled 2 Cool 4 Skool. Because they were. We discuss the origins of the band and the concept of a hip hop idol group, and why the concept was quite different from what had come before. There's a few bits about haters, a few bits about the pressures of school, adults and...

Our second episode, which turned out slightly differently than we had planned... In this episode we review the three new songs from Proof, BTS's new anthology album. As a disclaimer, we recorded this episode on the morning of Friday the 10th of June UK time, about four hours after the album and the Yet To Come music video were released, when we did not know as much about what might be coming up as...

Our very first episode! We cast our minds back to 2017 to talk about the masterpiece full of bangers that is Love Yourself: Her. We discuss everything from Chinese idioms, atomic theory, German folktales, haters, capitalism and of course everything about showing yourself some love. We may also get to explore the hidden depths of the ocean towards the end of the episode…  Which song will be ou...
