Beyond The Star Ep 8 Reaction – BTS Admits They Won’t Be The Same In 2025
BTS won’t be the same in 2025. And that’s bitter sweet. But we, ARMYs, won’t be either and BTS knows that too. As I hear each of them talk about wanting and working on keeping the group together after they return from the military,
You hear a certain kind of determination to keep things still exactly where things are beautiful comfortable and loved. But there is also the hyper awareness that everything will and has to change. That’s just how things were designed or created or evolved, whatever you believe in.
That is the blessing and the curse of impermanence, of time, and of humanity. We have to move forward and it’s the one thing we don’t get to have a choice on. So, we should know that while they very much clearly are fighting to keep the bond between themselves
And between them and ARMY, they will evolve. They will become better persons, better artists, but still different. And ARMYs, much as we try, will change just like them. There’s certainty in that. And the only thing left on our hands is to make sure just like BTS will we change for the better
Episode eight. Raise your hand if you cried. It’s so bittersweet, there’s so much I always love watching content about them, the ones that they officially release but also I wanted to sort of see how they were going to conclude the entire series.
And so it was bittersweet. There was like, there was some joy inside of me because I sort of got what they were trying to communicate and I do think that to a certain degree, I was right in the first episode, um, reaction that I did
I said that I felt like this wasn’t really about their success or the records that they have broken, it was going to be, I felt like it was going to be really about three things, music, about each other, their love and commitment for each other, and about ARMYs and I think
I think I was right. It was really, at the end of it, the conclusion was that they are doing Chapter 2 because they wanted to go back and rediscover who they were in the beginning and that would be seven boys who just wanted to do music
But there’s also the undeniable commitment to continue going forward as BTS um and that it was a commitment that they are giving ARMYs because ARMYs were the ones that were there for them for better for worse. Okay, if you ended up liking this video, please give it a thumbs up.

That you see on your screen right now. Okay, let’s go back to the video. Creation is semi-divine It’s the closest we could really ever feel how to be God or a God. Whether it’s the creation of a child in the womb or a painting from a blank canvas or a poem from
The invisible representation of emotions, the ability to create is a gift of divinity. What makes or breaks us is what we decide to create. Whether we create relationships or gossips to destroy other people, we can also create art to unite people or trends for greed.
BTS showed us you can always make a choice to create something beautiful, in substance and in form. They were given the raw utilities to create, eventually, they achieved fame and success that gave them the ticket
To do just about anything and they made the decision to use their art for good, good for them and good for other people. It was a miracle that unfolded right before our eyes and it was a real privilege to witness that. Faith
I’ve always found it odd but also necessary that the most divine union, a marriage, has to have a contract. I mean here are two people, promising the most pure of commitments in the world to each other and they have to sign a contract to be filed in the city office. How so impossibly romantic.
I guess the tangibility of things is what we need to live in harmony. From contracts to warranties, we build our lives around promises, hedged against horrible consequences executed by the police in order to live peacefully.
So when Jhope said it all boils down to faith, faith that BTS will continue to exist I am aware that it’s a tall order. While they have a contract with Big Hit, they don’t have a tangible contract with ARMYs. All we have is their assurance that they will try to come back together in 2025
And that they want to continue as a group for a long time This is a test, somehow, and some will walk away, turn their attention to other groups or simply get caught up in life and then move on It would be interesting who will have enough Faith to stay until 2025 and beyond.
It’s BTS and ARMY Several times Jungkook has emphasized the importance of ARMY living their lives while BTS does the same. Jhope drove it home in this documentary. To them, Chapter 2 isn’t just about them, it’s about ARM too. Army has been beat BTS’ ally in their journey and it’s surprising no one acknowledges that.
The truth is that whenever people expected BTS to do well in the charts, that pressure extends to ARMY to do better than they did before. It’s ARMYs that warded off haters, clarified rumors and spent time to make sure the substance in BTS’s music doesn’t get drowned in the glitter of their stature.
Whatever BTS went through ARMY went through with them. ARMY deserves a break too to find themselves and as expected, it’s BTS who knows that more than anyone else. If you’re a real family, you never ever stop being one. You can never disconnect. You can live away from family, disown them, curse them, not talk to them,
But if you are family you can never disconnect. And it’s a relief that they manage to realize this early enough to allow themselves to sail on their own and still know that no amount amount of experience or individual success will ever pull them away from their family. Family of seven. BTS.
They are a family they don’t need to stay together all the time to be one that’s the beauty of a real family Redefining Idols No one comes out of the military the same. I’ve heard that so many times from people I know who serve the military and from Idols who served before.
There’s something about being a part of something so dangerous by nature, something bigger, and something so out of their control that changes them. That’s why Idol groups never actually return to their old form after serving the military. Maybe it’s impossible.
That’s why I know the level of awareness RM has when he said they want to continue being a group in their 30s. He knows it has practically never been done before and probably impossible to get done.
What he is aiming for is something proper to to who they will become but undoubtedly still together as one. They have done the impossible before, so if anyone can actually redefine what it means to be a boy band in their 30s and maybe even 40s, it would be BTS. The industry isn’t moving on from BTS
It was very important for Bang Si Hyuk to actually say that that he isn’t really expecting anything from BTS anymore but to continue loving music and for them to gather together every now and then and just talk about their love for music and the happiness music is bringing them.
It’s not much for, not really for BTS, I think at this stage, BTS knows that already but for other people. because it’s a clear statement that BTS has done enough, they’ve done enough for K-pop, they’ve done enough for Korea, they’ve done enough for Asia, they’ve done enough,
Quite frankly, for other non-english-speaking countries they’ve done enough. And it is time to allow them to just do what they want to do and that is to just go back to where they began, as boys who love music and they should be allowed to just enjoy that process without any kind of expectation.
And everyone else should hear that. I think BTS is has already made a resolution, they know that’s what they want to do. But everyone else, they just keep on expecting for BTS to come back and break new records. That’s not the whole point.
The point of this entire thing, the point of Chapter 2 is so that they can go back to to the beginning and they should be allowed to do that. Not that they need anybody’s permission but everyone should just leave them be and just enjoy this process. Accidental Legends
It seems counterintuitive. People who have done great things always talk about the effort they put into achieving what they have achieved. I believe that is true. You won’t achieve great things without great efforts but Global recognition and adoration are a different story.
It’s not something you can get just because you worked hard for it you can give people a reason to admire and respect you but you can’t force them to like you. BTS from the beginning wanted to make music that speaks of their own experiences, music that will inspire.
They didn’t set out to be Global Superstars, they were just sweating it out in the basement level rehearsal studio. They blinked and they sold out Wembley. That’s why it was scary, they were on a journey they never planned. Somehow they landed on an undiscovered land. How do you live in a world no one has been before?
You can take BTS out of the hustle but you can’t take the hustle out of BTS When they have all the time in the world to do anything, they please they go back to working I don’t know them personally but based on what they are doing,
They seem to be the kind of people who find satisfaction in discovering the unknown, challenging the beast, pushing boundaries, and expanding their territory. They are creators to the core but they’re also explorers craving the thrill of conquering themselves and mapping out Uncharted territories.
One of the things that we clearly saw in their individual activities is their dominance over their own art. They mold and paint and write the legend of their own identities, each member is an alpha, a king reigning over his dominion, pluck any member out of that seven
And make them a leader of another group and you will be able to clearly see how they will lead So it’s nothing short of a miracle that seven Alphas can build a kingdom together and not wage war against each other.
I guess it is possible for love and respect to overpower vanity and grief. ending with gratitude not expectations I think the way that they ended the series was really perfect. When they started delving into the boy’s individual careers and individualities, there were a lot of mention about coming back together
And it’s probably because the boys kept on mentioning it, so there’s this underlying promise, an underlying message that although they’re going into their individual careers the priority will always be BTS and also that’s something that they voice out, they said several times.
But when, the last person to talk was actually Kim Taehyung and he said that no matter what happens in the future, he is most thankful for the fact that they have stayed together as seven in the last 10 years. There is some sort of a finality in that and an understanding that although that there is,
That BTS members are promising that they’re going to come back together. That it is okay, that that is enough whatever they have done up to that point, that’s enough, that we should not be expecting anything else And so they ended it with gratitude rather than expectation and so I thought like wow, finally
Finally they are firming up on that message that let’s just stop expecting anything from them. That from here forward their priority is to just explore music, rediscover music, rediscover themselves But whatever happens cuz there’s a lot of things that can happen. But whatever happens, what they have done is enough and they are enough
So I thought, that’s like, you know, that was just a perfect ending for such a perfect career and a perfect series I would love to hear your thoughts though. I have to admit it actually made me cry. Would love to hear your thoughts let me know in the comment section um
