Theyve just released their latest album, and, frankly, everyone is loving it.
But BTSs Love Yourself: Tear has poignant meaning behind it.
The K-Pop group made it a mission to learn how to love themselves in a world where the pressures of social media and celebrity make it a constant battle to achieve perfection.
The boys explained that there was some pressure to come up with new music, saying its hard as they feel like they have to compare themselves to other stars.
Its really hard for [us] – especially this time – because we always see other people on social media, Instagram and Twitter, so we always compare ourselves to other people.
Addressing what the meaning behind this eagerly-awaited LP is, the band told People: We think this album, this whole performance, is us telling them “lets find a way to love ourselves together.” So, we want to find a way together with our fans.
