I love seeing so much of the process of them talking about and figuring out how they all feel about this long awaited comeback, I thought it would feature more of them making the songs but it seems like most of the songs had been made at this point and that they had to decide and finalize the title track/lead single. It sounded like 2.0 was a contender at first but maybe I misunderstood that?

It was also interesting to hear that it was the HYBE employees who kind of pushed for more english lyrics when the guys themselves wanted to add more korean? At least I got the impression that RM and SUGA did. I respect their decision whatever it is but it's tiring to hear others than themselves push them to make songs more in english to "appeal to a global audience"... I understand it to a point but it comes off as HYBE just caring about appealing to new fans instead of current ones because they want more popularity and money. It feels greedy but that doesn't surprise me 🌝

My favourite parts was seeing them just have fun together in the house, I'm so grateful to see more of that in such a personal setting. Seeing JIMIN in his home, eating and gaming and talking about his everyday life was probably the highlight for me. Not to be annoying and delusional (well..) but I feel like JIMIN and I say the same things and agree so much, we must be soulmates, yes it's true 🙂‍↕️

This album was a big hurdle for them to get over, like a car that's been not running for a long time but now they got it running and the engine is better than ever and the paint is gorgeous and the seats are fine ass leather and the tank is full and there's no traffic at all and it just keeps running!!! Meaning I'm so excited about this album and whatever they are going to release in the future 🥰

Falling back in love with BTS like this has been amazing and they're totally one of my favourite groups now even though it took me 10 years to get back here but now the circle is complete! I hope you enjoy and please do let me know all your thoughts in the comments~ 💜💙

The man who made the documentary said that he wanted to start it after Jin arrived, because they were complete once there were seven of them.I suppose that’s why the writing process for most of the songs wasn’t shown. Because Jin himself said something like, “When I arrived, most of it was already finished.” They talked more about how the other songs were made during the “Studio Notes Arirang” live stream on Weverse, if you’re curious. There were subtitles too

I had a brilliant time. I wish there’d been at least three episodes or so, so that, as you said, we could have seen more of their interactions and dialogues.

Ece

11:55 Throughout the documentary, it was so sweet how Jungkook always tried to look on the bright side and remained optimistic

Ece

14:28 and he says it with a straight face

Ece

19:11 They were asked to release an album straight away, and they produced such a masterpiece so quickly that I’m really proud of them. But I wish they’d had at least another month or two to rest. For instance, Jin had returned much earlier, so he did a lot on his own, and as he was on tour at the time, he joined the group late. He also said he was disappointed that he couldn’t take part in the writing process. We waited four years after all; we could have waited a little longer. Their state of mind is more important

Ece

55:21 Jin has shown his favouritism a little for jungkook 🤣

Ece

1:18:50 All I’ve been doing lately

Ece

1:20:02 You really should have been here for Jungkook’s hours-long game streams. He played with the ARMYs

Ece

1:21:27 You and Jimin are really in sync today

Ece

1:22:31 I’ve really missed this duo

Ece

1:22:57 He had adopted him quite a while ago, when he was still a puppy and in a bad condition. We met Bam in the first episode of the second season of In the Soop

Ece

It ended with the most beautiful scene possible

Ms. T

I do love that the documentary focused on just them. With all the big name producers on this album, they could have made it more about that. But they didn’t and I’m glad about that.

faith

0:32 “just a demure little piece…i had two before as well” I AM LAUGHING SO HARD

faith

32:23 i need to once again talk about my love for yoongi & his positive outlook on everything. jimin asking how screwed they are and him saying “only a little, at least we got something out of it” like what a beautiful way to look at a stressful situation and making him feel better like it wasn’t a waste of time but instead a stepping stone

faith

34:18 like they knew what they were doing with this close up

faith

35:21 i never thought about the pressure of feeling like they NEEDED to change. everyone is talking about how this is a new chapter for the group and they’re getting a new sound, but literally what about the members who feel the same? like if i was taehyung i could imagine feeling some imposter syndrome like “is everyone different and i’m still the same?”

faith

40:23 it’s the way i’m always singing “everybody know now where the k is” or “this that k gotta get a better pop”

faith

45:09 “i am normal about this” we say as our eye twitches

faith

51:46 wouldn’t be BTS without something breaking

faith

52:56 *jimin drowning in the water* “is he dropping his shorts?”

faith

54:50 need to talk about how i am LIVING for this Jin fit…the no shirt underneath…the jacket slightly off the shoulder…yes please

faith

1:01:41 jhope being the only one TURNT while this banger is playing like thank GOD rm & suga finally got the vision because idk what i would’ve done without this song

faith

1:04:21 screaming at this

faith

1:10:33 i LOVE that we got to see the process behind their decisions because knowing that so many of them didn’t think swim should be the title track is SO interesting to me and then listening to their thoughts shift in real time is SO cool

faith

1:13:48 LOL the version of ARIRANG they are “embarrassed” of and disliking is a longer version than the one that made it to Body To Body

faith

1:21:04 “he has a body bag” made me laugh out loud

faith

1:26:32 girl and you know I already have my issues with hitman bang BUT THE WAY HE KEEPS SAYING “it’s your decision” AND THEN PROCEEDS TO TELL THEM WHY THEY SHOULDN’T MAKE THEIR DECISION LIKE HOW MANY TIMES HAVE THEY SAID THEY WANTED TO DO THE ORIGINAL VERSION???? AND IT’S THEIR ALBUM THEY KNOW WHAT THEY’RE DOING NO ONE WANTS YOUR OPINION

faith

1:27:28 that clip was from their anniversary live in 2022 where they first announced that they were going to go on hiatus for military service & solo projects—girl the way we all thought it was a celebration and then we clicked on that video and everyone’s in tears talking about this topic…namjoon getting extra emotional because he knew some fans wouldn’t understand the decision (and many didn’t)

faith

1:36:05 these harmonies YES PLEASE

7:45 a) im so glad you've come to fawn over every up-close shot of taehyung, i feel very vindicated bc that's my husband, my first love, my everything (and jimin's boyfriend) but more importantly! b) tae is 100% the type to diffuse the tension by appreciating the scenery! maknae line (and also jin!) are often the ones who lighten the mood when things get serious 💜

nva

oh my gosh, the flashback scene slapped me across the face - they were all so cute at debut

Bambi

I know RM wasn't keen on the Arirang part being so highlighted in body to body but it's my favourite part! It gives me goosebumps! I was vibing to it just like Jhope. I'm glad it made it in. It's so interesting that they were worried about the amount of English but the company were more focused on being global. The most common complaint I've seen online from others is that there is not enough Korean. It feels like the company are slightly out of touch and aren't always aware of what their current fans want.

Bambi

I also thought of stranger things when I heard the instrumental version used in this!

nva

42:44 so true, you can tell he carries the weight so heavy, trying to appease listeners from around the world. i can't begin to imagine the 'burden' of responsibility as the only fluent member in english, he probably feels that any criticism over the members' english falls back on him 🫂 we love you namjoooooooon 🥺

nva

1:08:30 yes! taehyung has a lil group of actor friends and he's their baby 🥹 they even vacation together

nva

knew you'd love and relate to jimin's scene at home! especially his mentioning of becoming more introverted over time (which you can kind of tell, as a fan 💜) i immediately thought of you when i watched the doc! (also his little "aow!" at the end of his hair bleaching... he's the cutest)

nva

1:27:10 okay i don't want to speak out of turn, but i've heard that korean fans are the ones who are against the bodies they built in the military (every army i know loveddd their 'buff era') and they prefer the more lean look, i guess. but you could tell when they were bigger, certain members really thrived (jk, tae, namjoon in particular were members who i feel like posted gym selfies and went live all the time in their cutoff sleeves/ shorts... 😋). its such a crazy thing that beauty standards and what a musical artist 'should' look like dictates so much... of course, they will fluctuate depending on the workouts they do and general cardio in preparation of tours, but that really shouldn't be a talking point in regular conversation idk... also the clip of joon breaking down was actually from their goodbye festa right after hiatus was announced, girl we were all broken watching them say goodbye to us and to each other, even temporarily. like i remember crying in my room watching it, i couldn't even finish. i feel like the rawness of the cancelled world tour from covid 2 years prior was still aching, and then the idea of not seeing them for who knew how long... yeah, it was a hard time for the members and for us, even though they worked hard to give us the PROOF repackage album (with yet to come as the title track) right before. thank GOD that's behind us now

jin

Third meaning of that line in they don't know bout us - you said we've changed? we feel the same as in the world has changed too also I feel like the in the soop reactions are gonna hit different after watching all these comeback content😭
