BTS: Shining a Light during Dark Times
防彈少年團:黑暗時期的一線曙光

“Life goes on,” the band members of BTS sing on a track off of their album BE. With those words, the South Korean boy band closed the book on a difficult 2020, sending a message of hope to its fans. As the sense of doom and gloom spreads around the world like the virus from which it sprung, the message couldn’t have come at a better time.

BTS (standing for “Beyond the Scene”) is made up of members RM, J-Hope, Suga, Jimin, Jung Kook, V, and Jin. The band has received numerous music awards, been named among Time’s Most Influential People of 2019, and become the first K-pop group to ever reach number one on the US Billboard album charts.

Though the band has sung about darker themes, like the pressures of adolescence, it’s BTS’s adept blending of musical styles, top-notch live performances, and entertaining fan engagement that have helped it most in capturing the hearts of millions of fans since its debut in 2013. While the shadow of the coronavirus continues to loom, the band only wants one thing: to share some positive energy with its fans.

防彈少年團成員在專輯《BE》中的一首歌中唱到「生活會繼續下去」。這支韓國男團用這句話向粉絲傳遞充滿希望的訊息,結束了艱困的二○二○年。隨著厄運和沮喪的感覺像引發它們的病毒一樣在世界各地蔓延開來,這個訊息來得正是時候。

防彈少年團(是Beyond the Scene的縮寫,意指「超越現狀」)由RM、J-Hope、Suga、Jimin、Jung Kook、V和Jin組成。該團已獲得很多音樂獎項,被評為二○一九年《時代》雜誌:最具影響力者之一,並成為有史以來第一個在美國《告示牌》專輯排行榜奪冠的韓國流行樂樂團。

雖然這支樂團唱到過一些較黑暗的主題,像是青春期的壓力,但是防彈少年團純熟的混合各種樂風、一流的現場表演和取悅粉絲的互動,自二○一三年出道以來最有助於幫樂團吸引了數百萬粉絲的心。當冠狀病毒的陰影持續籠罩,這支樂團要的只是:與粉絲分享一些正能量。
