BTS drops highly anticipated album with new concept 
​

    The seven-member South Korean pop boy group, BTS, released their latest mini-album ‘Love Yourself: Her.’ The album features a variety of refreshing sounds, and the accompanying concept is very different from what they have put out in the past.

    The septet had been hinting at a comeback since the end of their most recent tour, BTS Live Trilogy Episode III: The Wings Tour. A set of comeback trailers, photos, and a short song written by BTS’ very own, Kim Namjoon, were released last month and earlier this month as well.

    “Love Yourself: Her,” is short in length compared to their previous releases, but size was not an issue. With only nine songs, the album still managed to climb the charts, taking the #1 spot in 73 countries.

    BTS is known for their very well thought out concepts, so it is no surprise that the concept for their newest release, the idea of loving yourself, becoming a better person, and focusing more on oneself, was a hit.

    Love Yourself: Her has a sound for everyone. R&B, hip hop, EDM, and disco are some of the many sounds the group played with this time around. The album even had some no- table collaborations, including one with The Chainsmokers on the track “Best of Me.”

    There is no doubt that this might be ITS’ biggest re- lease yet. As their popularity increases all over the world, so do their album sales. According to Loen Entertainment, the distributor of BTS’s new album, 1,051,546 copies were sold in pre-order from the 25th to 31st of August in South Korea alone.
​

    BTS is a legendary group in the making. Each new comeback illustrates the amount of hard work and the level of skill these young men have. If a refreshing, new sound is what you seek, BTS is the right group for you.
​

    The language barrier be- tween this group and their audience should not be a problem. As group member and leader Kim Namjoon said,” Music transcends language.”
