“BE” by BTS is not just an album; it is a movement. A lot of the record’s enormous engagement through ARMY—this K-pop band’s huge fan base—lit up conversations over social issues and promoted feelings of positivity and acts of self-love. Lyrically, this message is echoed on tracks such as “Life Goes On” and “Dynamite,” telling listeners much the same thing: that they should be strong and keep pushing. The group’s lead vocalist, RM (Kim Nam-joon), said in an interview with Billboard that music is something that brings people together.
“Music is the universal language that can break borders and transcend cultures; it’s one of the ways we could get to have the closest connections with other people and share stories,” he said. “BE” from BTS is already out and will be available on all major streaming platforms, and it is highly encouraged that multi-streaming be done for a better rank in the charts. Stream it on. This album is good for both young and older fans, moving with infectious beats and touching lyrics.
