- BTS made their own video for Spinebreaker for Track 15 (Episode 15) of BTS GAYO.
Concert info: First Muster was in March 2014.

Unpack Your Bags – RM – May 2014 (solo single)
Written for his appearance on the 4 Things Show on MNet – an hour-long special that invited RM to address misconceptions about what it means to be an underground rapper versus an idol. He was originally going to include his song Too Much, a reworking of Drake’s song Too Much with new lyrics from 2013, but he felt its angry lyrics were not reflective of how he had come to view himself and his history, and so wrote Unpack Your Bags for the special instead.
Dark & Wild – August 2014 (full studio album)

Fun fact: The Korean title of Silver Spoon, Baepsae, is the name of a small brown bird that is the subject of a Korean saying: “if a baepsae walks like a stork, it will break its legs,” meaning you should stay in your lane and not try to move up too much. Baepsae is often translated into English as “crowtit” but a more proper translation is “venous throated parrotbill.” Baepsae has lots of other complex references to Korean society and history in its lyrics, it’s worth it to watch a deep dive video like this one.

- In Outro: Tear, the title word is pronounced Tear as in crying (RM’s portion), Tear as in ripping apart (Suga’s portion), and also changed into Fear (j-hope’s portion). It’s a song about a breakup but it was written for the members themselves when they were thinking about disbanding in early 2018.

- Answer: Love Myself
- DNA (Pedal 2 LA Remix)
- Fake Love (Rocking Vibe Remix)
- MIC Drop (Steve Aoki Remix)
A quick word about the song MIC Drop. There are multiple versions:
- The original version by BTS is mostly in Korean and appears on the Love Yourself: Her album. This version is just called “MIC Drop” and you can sometimes see them performing this version on Korean TV shows.
- The first Steve Aoki remix, featuring a long intro rap by Desiigner and almost exclusively English lyrics – this version has SUGA, j-hope, and RM sharing the rap part that eventually becomes RM’s alone. This version is called “MIC Drop (Steve Aoki Remix) Feat. Desiinger” and was released only as a digital single.
- The BTS/Steve Aoki remix, which uses Steve Aoki’s harder beats, but blends some Korean parts (like the opening rap, replacing Desiigner with j-hope and SUGA’s original parts) and some English parts from the Desiigner version (like the chorus and RM’s rap part). This version is called “MIC Drop (Steve Aoki Remix)” and is on the Love Yourself: Answer CD along with the original Korean version. This is the version you’ll see performed most often on American TV and is the most well-known version worldwide.
- And just to mess you up even more, like most of their big hits, BTS also recorded a Japanese version of the original, which was released as a CD single and is also on the Face Yourself album.
Other Fun Facts:
- Euphoria was originally co-written and mixed by DJ Swivel, and he has his own alternate, absolutely GORGEOUS version of Euphoria called the DJ Swivel Forever Remix, which was only released on YouTube.
- I’m Fine is a parallel song to Save Me from The Most Beautiful Moment in Life: Young Forever. They have a similar opening riff (but I’m Fine’s happier version is in a different key) and the musical notes of each mirror each other; as well, if you look up RM’s two rap parts in particular, you’ll see his I’m Fine rap is a reversal, line for line, of his Save Me rap. They often performed the two songs together, as seen in this clip.
- All Love Yourself album cover art, from Her through Answer, connect together to form one larger graphic. See more about the LY era album cover design here.
Concert info: Love Yourself Tour of 2018 is featured in the documentary film Bring the Soul, released 2019 – filmed October 2018 at the end of the European leg.

- The Korean name of “Boy With Luv” is “A Poem for Small Things” and RM says both titles together are important to understand the message of the song.
- SUGA’s line in the song Home about “big house, big cars, big rings” is a callback to their first ever single, No More Dream.
Concert info: Break the Silence documentary features the Asian leg of the Love Yourself tour (late 2018) plus their extension of their Love Yourself world tour (called Love Yourself: Speak Yourself) after the release of Persona – to add the new songs and appear in a few more countries, in spring/summer 2019.
