Sometimes, however, they need to acknowledge the world at large, too.

However, when it came to new albumBe,everything changed because, well, it had to.

RM explained, “I don’t think this album will have any songs that criticize social issues.

Everybody is going through very trying times right now.

So I don’t think there will be any songs that will be that aggressive.”

Even when it comes to “Dynamite,” the pandemic looms large.

“For this song, we wanted to go easy and simple and positive.

Not some, like, deep vibes or shadows.

We just wanted to go easy,” RM advised.

Jin agreed, “We were trying to convey the message of healing and comfort to our fans.”
