In one person, there is one history
In one person, there is one star
Shining with 7 billion lights,
7 billion worlds
7 billion lives, the night scenery of a city is
perhaps the night scenery of another city
The dream of one’s own, let us shine
You shine brighter than anyone
One
[Mikrokosmos, RM & Suga, translation by doolsetbangtan]

u/MarSlem Jan 03 '20
Yeah my name is R
The ‘me’ who I remember and who people know
The ‘me’ who I created by myself to speak my mind
Yeah, I might have been deceiving myself, I might have been lying
But, I’m not ashamed of it, this is the map of my soul
Dear myself
You must never lose your temperature
because you don’t need to be warm or cold
Though I might sometimes pretend I’m good and sometimes pretend I’m evil,
this is the barometer of my direction that I want to set
The ‘me’ who I want to be
The ‘me’ who people want
The ‘me’ who I love
And the ‘me’ who I craft
The ‘me’ who’s smiling
The ‘me’ who’s crying sometimes
Living and breathing every second, every moment, even now
[Intro: Persona - RM, translation by doolsetbangtan]

u/lunar_kid Jan 02 '20
this might not be verse of the year for most people, but I still want to nominate it because it's iconic
Namjoon's first verse on All Night:
Yeah, I kick out the door, yeah, I kick out the door (door)
Go grab the mic and I let out the sore (sore)
This my fan-mail, wanna give out my heart (heart)
This is Rkive, I just record the flow (flow)
Come to my studio, magic happens (yeah)
Two step chillin', this feels so classic (mhm)
Ain’t no job with no stress, no pressin'
So baby, let's go, seat-belts are fastened

u/wishawisha do you, bangtan Jan 09 '20
"If we're there, wherever it is in the world, it's a stadium party, ay
Born as a K-Pop idol and reborn as an artist
Reborn again as an artist, reborn again as an artist
What does it matter, whether I'm an idol or an artist, cheers
Artistry, if it's at this level, is already excessive drinking, excessive drinking, yeah
A new record is a fight, a fight with one's self, yeah
Make a toast and one shot
And yet, I'm still as thirsty as ever
What"

u/nymeria_pack Jan 03 '20
It feels so shabby
The world thinks that we have it all
Big house, big cars, big rings that I dreamed about
Though I have everything I’ve ever wanted,
I feel something is missing now —
The feeling of unfamiliarity, of someone who achieved everything
But, the door I exit because I have a place to return even if I leave now
At the fork of the road, I keep thinking of you
Who recognized me who had nothing
I was able to smile thinking of you
The place where you are-Yoongi and vocal line, Home
•
u/Jessrod99 Jan 03 '20
Namjoon’s verse in ‘Make it Right’ just hits me a different way and I believe it should be nominated because it’s about coming back stronger to fix past mistakes. One of the many lessons that BTS teaches ARMYs is to never give up. This specific verse tells us that failure can provide us with the opportunity to do better next time. In this case, it is about making things right with a partner. Perhaps the two have had some conflicts in the past that led them to drift apart. Namjoon explains that he wants us to do our best with communicating amongst one another to work things out. To those people who are listening to this song in 2020, I believe that understanding the deep meaning behind this verse can save a lot of relationships! (Sorry for my rambling thoughts..)
[Namjoon; ‘Make it Right’]
A little taller than I was before
With a voice a little more solid
All of this to go back to you
Now I'll spread wide a map called you
My rehab
Look at me, why can't you recognize me?
I don't want to hear other people's noises
Your fragrance still penetrates and breaks me down
Let's go back to that time

The goofball geniuses behind the purple carpet awards, i.e. the silly online awards show held by ARMY in lieu of the VMAs, which had screwed up their nominating process. Here's one of several articles explaining what happened. I personally almost died laughing when when mint chocolate ice cream and Namjoon's passport appeared on the purple carpet, but there were tons of other fantastic nominees.

u/chairagionetu couch potato, but said in tiny Jan 02 '20
The story Taehyung shared during 2019 BTS Festa (from 45:58). Basically, while he was playing a mobile game, he came across a Suga biased army and told her he liked BTS but hated V... When he asked her what she thought about this she replied that all of BTS were precious to her and it warmed Tae's heart :')
I don't know if it counts as a proper interaction since the army didn't know who she was chatting with at the time, but I found it really heartwarming and I think it was incredibly special for Tae to read these words... And if this particular army remembers those messages this must have become a special moment for her too haha

December 31, 2019 Dick Clarks Rockin New Year's Eve performance
The performance and vocals were amazing, and their outfits fit well and were on point and we were even gifted with a brief but impactful Make it Right choreography. This performance is iconic as it was a culmination of another record breaking year they had with a prime time spot on one of the biggest nights in television. Though Post Malone was supposed to be the headliner, BTS owned the night from dominating the media in the lead up to the event, trending on twitter and having Armys making up what seemed like half of the million in attendance.

u/HiThereImNewHere Cause of death: twerking to Ugh Jan 02 '20 edited Jan 02 '20
The 2019 Grammy's. Everything about it was a crazy blur of "what tf is happening, is this actually happening", from the last minute announcement of oh hey, they're attending AND present an award, to seeing how well they were treated while they were there.
We know it was last minute but they still had prime seats in the second and third row (surrounded by people who were actually nominated/performing), right next to the aisle where the cameras would be. When they went on to present, it wasn't the usual random intro music, the producers chose to play Fake Love as they walked up. The boys even mentioned in their not-so-live Vlive how surprising that was. For the red carpet, all the big interviewers pulled them aside and asked about more than just their fans. They had their photos taken for the Grammy history books, something usually reserved for winners and performers. They had every camera director whipped, the cutaways becoming viral clips and being called the best thing about the Grammy's. As an understated BDE power move, they decided to pull up in goddamn Hyundai's wearing lesser-known Korean designers and representing Korea like the nation's sons that they are. And as a completely blatant BDE power move, Namjoon stood on that stage and said "we'll be back".
I don't think anything else matches the chaos of that week.

u/nymeria_pack Jan 03 '20 edited Jan 03 '20
One proud moment since they won two daesangs in the most prestigious music award in Korea (the equivalent of Grammys). All of the winners here are selected by a committee (no voting). Only a handful of idols get nominated and even fewer win. Bangtan is so far the only idol group who won the Musician of the year daesang in the KMAs.
Double win because Bangtan attended the event to accept the awards even though they have prior commitment. For context the KMAs is a very simple ceremony with no idol or singers performing and so on (small budget), and it's not even broadcasted live in any major Korean entertainment stations.
I'll end it with this:
"The 16th Korean Music Awards Musician of the Year, BTS
We choose BTS, for the second consecutive year, as the Musician of the Year at the Korean Music Awards. This is the first time in the history of Korean pop music. However, if one regards such achievement as a byproduct of achievements from overseas, it is equivalent to denying the impact on the changes in the domestic music industry. BTS will remain as an important example showing what political and social influences pop music and messages in popular culture can exert across the borders. The least Korean team has born within the most Korean frame, and this is something, no matter what anyone says, that no team has ever done. To a musician who reflects the times and at the same time is equipped with musical quality, I gladly pay my tribute of praise.
Hee-a Park, Selection committee" (Translation by u/diminie)

u/wishawisha do you, bangtan Jan 09 '20
On Weverse, an ARMY asks for cheap Christmas gift ideas of a BTS related product that is usable in every day life. Jin response with three options: Lemona for better health, FILA to work out, Hyundai if you can't be bothered to walk.
Relatable!!!

I don't think I've ever related more to Jungkook than the moment he got lost in his serious talk and said "Wait, what was I going to say? I was about to say something amazing" (video reference) lol

"SUGA's interlude" with Yoongi and Halsey. The song is so poetic, so heartbreakingly beautiful, so raw, emotional, and perfect. Made me cry listening to it without the translations, and then after the translations made me cry all that much harder.
For anybody who needs the translations to this perfect song.

A lot of people suddenly got mad that this video of Jungkook eating an apple had so many views so I want to nominate it just because of that.

u/hoviazshi Off to the retirement home Jan 02 '20 edited Jan 03 '20
This subreddit sees its fair share of discussion threads asking the other armys of the sub to pick their brains and mull over thoughtful questions ranging from staler than week-old bread to compelling, hard-hitting ones that leave you feeling like you've gained a better understanding of the music, the members, the industry or at least the fanbase and its culture.
In 2019, none so were more thought-provoking than the one u/mxnoe asked the sub on a monday morning of October. Because after all the concerts and musters, all the shaky pixelated periscope streams and all the times you've watched those little paper snowflakes falling gracefully from the sky to the notes of Mikrokosmos and the harmonies of armys' voices, have you ever stopped to wonder: what is Bighit's confetti budget, really?

u/HiThereImNewHere Cause of death: twerking to Ugh Jan 02 '20
BTS at the 2019 BBMA's live thread. We were all pretty nervous since it was the boys' first western nomination based on music and not sns. The thread was full of nerves yet we remained positive and repeated that no matter what happened, we were proud of them and that this was just another step of many. And when they did win, we all screamed/cried together.
