  “Haegeum and “AMYGDALA”Breakdown 29.05.2023 17min

  Hey ARMY! Welcome back to BTS Memories! I dive into the songs "Haegeum " and "AMYDGALA" by Agust D. "Haegeum " explores the struggles about forbidden freedoms. The word Haegeum means lifting a ban or something similar to it. Also, the Haegeum is a Korean Instrument. "AMYDGALA " explores the struggles that Suga faced growing up and the struggles of idol life and his mental health hoping to become free from the darkness that surrounded him and wanting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. The amygdala is the part of the brain that deals with emotions and memory, Suga expresses this in the song. Overall, Suga wants to let go of the past and move on and grow stronger from it. Thank you so much for listening, I hope you have a great day and week ahead. See you next time! Thanks, Dangsin-eul Saranghaeyeo ~ Em

  "Wild Flower" and "Set Me Free" Breakdown 21.03.2023 17min

  Hey ARMY! Welcome back to BTS Memories! I dive into the songs "Wild Flower" by Rm ft Youjeen and "Set Me Free" by Jimin. "Wild Flower" explores the struggles that RM faces when it comes to fame and success. He wants to stay grounded in who he is and what he loves about music. RM makes reference to a famous metaphor found in many BTS songs, the mask. RM describes how he wants to be free from it and see reality. "Set Me Free" explores Jimin becoming free from the darkness that surrounded him and wanting to see the light at the end of the tunnel, He wants to do it himself and for someone to not do it for him because if someone does it for him it's not going to change anything for him and if he does himself it can change everything. Thank you so much for listening, I hope you have a great day and week ahead. See you next time! Thanks, Dangsin-eul Saranghaeyeo ~ Em

  BREAK! 24.08.2022 2min

  Hey ARMY! I am so sorry for not posting or uploading when I usually do. I have been busy with school and life etc. Since I have been busy with school and have things going on, I have decided to take a break from this podcast for a little while. I also have lots of tests and exams and will be busy studying etc.  I am so sorry that I do this but I think it's better for me so I don't feel the need to be uploading on a constant schedule. I hope that I will be back in a few weeks but I really don't know for sure! So, please know that if I don't upload when aII supposed to, I am probably busy with other things. I hope you all understand! Thank you so much for listening, I hope you have a great day and week ahead. See you soon! Thanks, Dangsin-eul Saranghaeyeo ~ Em

  "Pandora's Box" & "DNA"(DEMO)- Breakdown 08.08.2022 11min

  Hey ARMY! Today, I discuss "Pandora's Box" & "DNA"( DEMO)! "Pandora's Box" is about J-hope being the one left with hope after everything else is gone. This song talks about how Jhope chose his name for BTS and how he wants to be a light of hope to the members and ARMY.  J-hope expresses how he tried to bring hope even when all was lost. "Pandora's Box" is based on the story of a woman named Pandora who Zeus gave a box but she was told never to open it for reasons disclosed to her. Pandora got very curious and eventually, she opens the box and horrible evils came out such as greed, envy, hate, pain, hunger, war, poverty, and death. Becoming frightened by the evil things she closes the box and hope is the only thing left. Hope is what humans use to survive the wickedness that was let out by Pandora. Moving on, the "DNA" Demo version by Jhope has a very similar meaning to the original by BTS. "DNA" is about how young passionate love is what connects through the fate of DNA. The song is very different from previous songs by BTS. In the demo, the meaning is very similar, mostly the lyrics are talking about the connection of DNA and how it connects to love just like the original. The song is just as amazing as the original but slightly shorter. Thank you so much for listening, I hope you have a great day and week ahead. See you next time! Thanks, Dangsin-eul Saranghaeyeo ~ Em

  "BAD DECISIONS"- Breakdown! 05.08.2022 8min

  Hey, ARMY! I cannot believe that "BAD DECISIONS" is OUT! It's amazing! "BAD DECISIONS" is about obsessing over a celebrity or crush and wondering if you will be able to see them soon or just being in the moment at the concert. Realized how amazing they are! As Armies, we certainly do this as we care so much for BTS as a whole and the members individually too. For example, Whenever one or all the members are doubting something, We always without a doubt give them positive affirmations to clear their mind(s). We truly care about the members so much as they have helped us in their own ways and being a fangirl is the least we can do for them! Moving on, we do similar acts for crushes, whenever we get the chance to talk or just look at them, etc. "BAD DECISIONS" talks about and explores this deeply to the point where the obsession is even worth it to continue the fantasy of the crush. "BAD DECISIONS" bring thoughts and we can wonder forever about them. Thank you so much for listening, I hope that you have a great day and week ahead. See you next time! Thanks, Dangsin-eul Saranghaeyeo ~ Em

  Daechwita & Tony Montana Breakdown 25.07.2022 15min

  Hey ARMY! Welcome Back to BTS Memories! I talk about "Daechwita & Tony Montana", two songs from Agust D's mixtapes "Agust D & D-2"! Daechwita is about Yoongi setting a trap for his haters and talking about the wealth and fame that he achieved and explaining that he worked hard and it was not always easy in the beginning referring to when he worked two part jobs and went to school and BTS's own past when they struggled too much. Tony Montana talks about comparing His wealth and fame to that of Antonio " Tony" Montana a fictional character from " Scarface" in 1983. Agust D explains that getting fame all in your head is not good and that you will just loloseose your mind doing that it's not worth it. He also explains that yes having a lot is nice but having too much of it can lead you in the wrong direction. He also blasts his haters in both songs and He tries to keep the hate from entering his head.   thank you so much for listening, I hope that you have a great day and week ahead. See you next time! Thanks, Dangsin-eul Saranghaeyeo ~ Em

  My BTS Story & Jhope "MORE" 12.07.2022 11min

  Hey ARMY! Welcome back to BTS Memories!  I talk about my BTS story and the journey that went to get to feel so safe by their music. I personally have no idea where I would be without BTS! Also, I talk about their upcoming shows in Disney Plus, In the Soop: Friendcation with V and his Wooga Squad and the concert films and the docuseries which I believe comes out next year and I cannot wait for them to be released!   Finally, Jhope released "MORE" a week ago, and it's amazing. The song talks about J-hope's thoughts about how to improve as an artist and the struggles all with it. "MORE" is different than anything that J-hope has released in the past and it changes the perspective on his music and opens the door of J-hope's struggles in life. Thanks so much for listening and hope you have a wonderful week! Thanks, Dangsin-eul Saranghaeyeo Em

  Left & Right and Jack in the Box 27.06.2022 11min

  Hey ARMY! Welcome back to BTS Memories! I talk about the collaboration between Jungkook and Charlie Puth in releasing: "Left and Right". "Left and Right" is about an ex-lover that Charlie/Jungkook can't get out of their heads. Saying that the memories keep flowing back and forth every day. I feel like "left and right" is a way to express the fact that it's so hard not to get the people who hurt us in the past and on top of it try to make up with the person and hopefully become good friends. But then trying to forgive them for what they did and not holding grudges against them. In reality, it's our choice about what terms we have agreed with the person. On the brighter side of things, HYBE released a statement talking about J-hope's new album called "Jack in the Box" which is supposed to be released in July 2022, and performing it at ''Lollapalooza" in Chicago, IL. I am so excited for this album to be out! I hope that you are excited as well! Hope y'all have a great day and week ahead and see you guys next time! Thanks, Dangsin-eul Saranghaeyeo Em

  No BTS Hiatus! & Updates 17.06.2022 3min

  Hey ARMY! Well, lots of things have happened in the past day! Everyone has been confused as if BTS is going on a hiatus because of the subtitles! So, Jungkook went on V-Live to clear everything up about the "hiatus". Also, the Hybe Ceo released a statement about it and explained what is happening. So in the end BTS is NOT going on hiatus or disbanding, they are going to focus less on group activities and more on solo activities. Also, RUN BTS is coming back! So, all is not lost and I am happy that everything is cleared up. Moving on, I am going to focus on the member's solo music and maybe an occasional BTS lyric breakdown!  Lastly, I'd like to everyone who has supported this podcast and I am truly grateful for the endless support! I would like to thank BTS for everything they have done so far for ARMY and I don't know what we (I) would do without the 7 of you, I (We) love you guys so much and hope that you have a great success with your solo music and endeavors! Thank you so much, BTS!  Hope y'all have a great day and week ahead and see you guys next time!

  BTS Hiatus & What's Next for BTS Members! 15.06.2022 14min

  Hey ARMY! Well, lots of things have happened in the past day or so. BTS revealed in the "FESTA Dinner" that they are going on a temporary hiatus to pursue solo music and careers. Mostly they are doing this because they have no idea who they are anymore or who BTS is?  They are going to use this time to find themselves and find new stories to tell. I understand that this unforantaly came out of nowhere for us and there are lots of tears to be shed ( including myself ).  However, in light of the darkness, we going to get the solo music that we have waiting for for a  long time. Also, remember that they have helped us in tremendous ways that I can't imagine. They have" been there" for us when we needed them the most. When we needed to find and love ourselves they guided us through, now is ARMY's turn to help them and support them through the trials that they face. Helping them just as they have done for us all these years. We should thank them for everything that they have done for us. With that being said I have no idea where this podcast will go since BTS is on hiatus, I will try to update as necessary to let you about the final decision.  Thanks to everyone who has supported this podcast and I am truly grateful for the endless support! Lastly, I would like to thank BTS for everything they have done and I don't know what I would do without the 7 of you, I love you guys so much and hope that you have great success with your solo music and endeavors. Also hope that you enjoy your time apart but always be the BTS that we know!  Thank you so much, BTS!  Hope y'all have a great day and week ahead and see you guys next time! ( when that happens )  Thanks, Dangsin-eul Saranghaeyeo Em https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1t0iJ7F_k9Q ( the link to the Festa Dinner)

  Proof: Yet to Come MV/Lyric and Born Singer Breakdown 13.06.2022 20min

  Hey ARMY! Happy 9 Years with BTS! It's crazy to realize that it's been 9yrs since BTS's Debut! Today, I dive into their new album Proof and talk about Yet to Come and Born Singer. Yet To Come is about understanding the best moments in life are ahead of us rather than being right in front of us. Even though we have the "Best Moment" in the past but maybe the next one could be more significant and meaningful to us than the previous one. Moving on to Born Singer, one of the rejected songs of the early days of BTS because of vulgar lyrics, etc. Later on, they got permission from composers, etc. This song reminisces from the perspective of the rap line about their trainee days, becoming rookie idols, and all the struggles, etc. that they faced and the journey through. Anyways, Thanks to everyone to listen and supporting this podcast, I could don't do without you ( truly I appreciate it). Hope y'all have a great day and week ahead and see you guys next time! Thanks, Dangsin-eul Saranghaeyeo Em https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kXpOEzNZ8hQ ( Link to the "Yet to Come" MV)

  Moon & Trivia 轉: Seesaw Breakdown 06.06.2022 24min

  Hey ARMY! I hope you have had a wonderful day and week ahead! This week I dive into Moon and Trivia 轉: Seesaw. Moon is about Jin trying to explain his love for ARMY! Jin talks about how he cares and appreciates us for our support for him. Giving him a reason to keep being K-Pop Idol and pushing through every day.  Trivia 轉: Seesaw is about Suga telling himself or someone else to stop and think about the situation to maybe try to fix it or get out of the relationship. He uses a seesaw as a metaphor to describe it to another person or himself. Reminding us to catch ourselves and look if this relationship or idea is worth it for me to continue or should I end it because of the impacts it has on me and my friend/Gf/bf ( whomever). Always a good to remind yourself about. Anyways, Thanks to everyone to listen and supporting this podcast, I could don't do without you ( truly I appreciate it)! Also, I can't handle how close PROOF is coming and I am super excited about it and you are too!  See you guys next time! Thanks, Dangsin-eul Saranghaeyeo Em

  Answer: Love Myself & Interlude: Shadow 23.05.2022 23min

  Hey Army, Welcome back to BTS Breakdown, I hope you have had a wonderful day and week ahead! This week I look at Answer Love Myself and Interlude Shadow, two songs that deal with self acceptance and worth towards yourself. Answer Love Myself talks about finding and longing for self love and acceptance and worth. Realizing that what society draws upon us is not the right answer of how we should look and dress and instead we should be ourselves and not what society etc says. Loving yourself does take a while as its a journey towards feeling confident in yourself. So don't beat yourself up if it takes a while trust me it will come, also remember that all the BTS and Army did it and are continuing to love themselves. Moving on to Interlude: Shadow , one of Suga's solo songs from Map of the Soul 7 album. Interlude Shadow is about Suga's journey and struggles through fame, hard work, and self acceptance. Understanding that being famous is very hard and takes a tole on you and that having it all may be reversed and you might have nothing. Also alluding to those who have it all don't understand the hard work that some people put in for the fame ( a reference to BTS's debut and Suga's past).  Thanks, Dangsin-eul Saranghaeyeo Em
