WATCH All BTS Interviews for “Life Goes On”

Ever since BTS released their latest album BE, they have been immersed in a whirlwind of promotions, performances, and media appearances, captivating both fans and the general public with their charm, talent, and boundless energy. The album, which dropped on November 20, 2020, has become more than just a collection of songs, it’s a deeply personal artistic statement born out of unprecedented times. Watching BTS navigate this era, especially through their many interviews, offers a unique experience that showcases not only their artistry but also their friendship, spontaneity, and incredible sense of humor.

From the moment BE was announced, anticipation ran high among ARMYs and the music industry alike. As BTS began appearing in interviews across various platforms, ranging from global talk shows to Korean variety programs, radio segments, and digital fan events, it became clear that this era was something deeply meaningful to them. BE wasn’t just an album made for release; it was crafted with intention, vulnerability, and honesty, reflecting the members’ state of mind during the difficult months of isolation and uncertainty brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic.

What makes BTS’s interviews during the BE era particularly special is how candid and involved the members are. Every time they talk about the album, it’s evident how much heart they’ve poured into every aspect of its creation. Unlike previous releases, BE was an album where each member took on specific roles in its production and direction. From visual direction to project management, BTS stepped beyond performance and immersed themselves in the full creative process. During interviews, they’ve spoken openly about this hands-on involvement, offering fans an insightful look at how BE came together behind the scenes.

For example, RM (Kim Namjoon) took on the role of project leader, guiding discussions and keeping the team focused. In interviews, he often explains the conceptual backbone of the album, describing BE as a reflection of life during the pandemic—sometimes melancholic, sometimes hopeful, but always sincere. He often speaks with eloquence and empathy, making it clear how seriously he takes the responsibility of communicating the group’s collective emotions to the world.

Suga (Min Yoongi), who contributed heavily to the songwriting and production before undergoing shoulder surgery in late 2020, shared his thoughts on the importance of music as a source of healing. His calm, thoughtful presence in earlier interviews before his hiatus was a grounding force, as he talked about BE as an opportunity to pause, reflect, and connect.

J-Hope (Jung Hoseok) brought his signature optimism and warmth to every interview, often speaking about the importance of staying positive and connected, even while isolated. His excitement over working on the choreography and concepts was infectious, and every time he talked about his part in the album, his passion shone through.

Jin (Kim Seokjin), known for his humor and stunning vocals, shared in several interviews that working on BE gave him a new sense of purpose during lockdown. He discussed the emotional weight of songs like “Abyss” (which he released separately) and how vulnerable he felt during that period. His openness endeared him even more to fans.

Jimin (Park Jimin), who acted as the music project manager, was particularly hands-on in coordinating the musical direction of the album. He spoke in multiple interviews about how challenging but fulfilling it was to take on this role. His emotional sincerity always came through when he talked about the process, particularly how he hoped BE would bring comfort and peace to those struggling.

V (Kim Taehyung) had a significant influence on the visual elements of the album and shared his ideas for the aesthetics of the concept photos and design. His artistic sensibilities and love for visual storytelling were evident, and in interviews, he would often excitedly explain the mood boards, color schemes, and settings that were used. His song “Blue & Grey,” one of the standout tracks of the album, is a hauntingly honest portrayal of inner struggles, and he’s talked at length about how much it meant to him.

Jungkook (Jeon Jungkook) directed the “Life Goes On” music video, stepping into a leadership role that allowed him to grow creatively. Interviews showed how serious he was about the process, spending hours learning, editing, and shooting to make sure the video truly captured the spirit of the song. When he talks about the experience, you can sense his pride and his desire to show new sides of himself as an artist.

The chaotic beauty of BTS interviews is something fans have come to treasure. While discussions about the album can get deep and philosophical, they’re often punctuated by moments of laughter, playful bickering, and spontaneous games. Their natural chemistry as a group, how they finish each other’s sentences, tease one another, and break into impromptu songs or dance, is part of the magic that draws fans in. Interviews with BTS are never dull; they feel like you’re watching a family interact, and it’s impossible not to be charmed.

Their appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, which featured a week-long special BTS takeover, was a prime example. Each night, the group delivered live performances of tracks from BE, along with funny and heartfelt interview moments that highlighted their personalities and creative processes. Similarly, appearances on Korean programs like You Quiz on the Block and Knowing Bros gave fans even more insight into their dynamic as a team, as well as their individual reflections during a difficult year.

One of the most touching things that stands out in interviews is their recurring theme of connection. BTS repeatedly emphasized that BE was created to comfort people around the world. “We wanted to say, even if we’re far apart, we’re still connected,” RM shared in several interviews. And this message resonates so clearly through songs like “Life Goes On,” “Telepathy,” and “Stay.”

With each new interview that surfaces, fans gain a richer understanding of what BE means, not just to BTS, but to the millions of people who listen to their music. Whether it’s a deep dive into songwriting, a hilarious round of games, or an emotional moment of reflection, BTS interviews are a joyful part of the BE era experience.

The BE promotional journey is ongoing, and there’s always more to look forward to. Each new interview adds another layer to the story of an album that’s as much about introspection as it is about togetherness. As BTS continues to share more behind-the-scenes moments, fans around the world remain eagerly tuned in, not just to learn about their favorite songs, but to laugh, cry, and grow alongside seven artists who continue to redefine what it means to be a global music sensation.

Stay tuned for updates, because if there’s one thing we know about BTS, it’s that they always have something special up their sleeves.
