253 - HYBE Feb 19, 2025

Show notes

This week on Stanning BTS, Kayla and Bethany are turning the lens on HYBE, the company that began as Big Hit Entertainment and has since evolved to become a major player with the entertainment landscape. Over the years, the home of BTS has drawn praise and criticism alike, and our hosts set out this week to help separate fact from fiction.

To do so, they welcome two guests: Sam (an astronomer) and Kals (a venture capitalist). With the inclusion of listener questions, they unpack some of HYBE's history, the turning points of growth and expansion, and ongoing shifts in public perception. The two take a special interest in how to continue fostering the important fan-artist connection that has always defined BTS as a band, as the company behind them continues to earn a bigger and bigger footprint in the K-pop industry and music business as a whole.

252 - HYYH - Young Forever Feb 06, 2025

Show notes

After covering the first two installments of BTS’ seismic Most Beautiful Moment in Life series, it's time for hosts Kayla and Bethany to take on the compilation that brought the beloved era home.

In the new episode of Stanning BTS, the pair discuss the repackaged album, Young Forever, which pulled tracks from the previous two releases and rearranged the order. While most songs were previously covered (check out the episode archive), now they're putting the focus on the three new tracks: "Fire," "Save Me," and "Epilogue: Young Forever."

Elsewhere in the episode, they also explore how the rearranged tracklist creates a different emotional journey, highlighting specific song pairings (like "Hold Me Tight," "Autumn Leaves," and "Butterfly") and the placement of hype tracks ("Ma City," "Baepsae," and "Dope") and slower songs ("Converse High," "Moving On," and "Whalien 52").

248 - Running Wild MV Dec 05, 2024

Show notes

Borahae ICONIC Army!

So much is happening. Taehyung is officially massive, V's dog, Yeontan, sadly passed away, and Jin had a birthday on December 4th! (Not to mention Bethany turning 30!) And, what better way to celebrate Jin than by discussing his new "Running Wild" music video? So, on this week's episode of Stanning BTS hosts Kayla and Bethany Do just that! Listen now.

Jin's "Running Wild" music video is a vibrant and energetic visual representation of the song's message of freedom and youthful spirit. The video features Jin driving through stunning landscapes, both natural and urban, while singing passionately about the joy of living life to the fullest. It seems to pick up where The Astronaut left off.

247 - Happy Album Review Nov 21, 2024

Show notes

Happiness is in the air on this week's episode of Stanning BTS as hosts Kayla and Bethany dig into Jin's new album, Happy, the vocalist's solo debut. Following his discharge from the military this past June, Jin has dropped back into the music industry in full force with this album. Listen now.

While Jin has offered plenty of solo tracks within BTS's extensive discography, Happy is his first collection as a solo artist. While Jin is firmly in the spotlight, this album also features a variety of collaborations: the first track "Running Wild" was cowritten by Take That's Gary Barlow. In addition, the song "Heart on the Window" has guest vocals from Red Velvet's Wendy. Jin went all out for Happy and it clearly paid off, as Kayla and Bethany discuss in the episode.

245 - Hobi’s Home and Jin’s Happy Oct 24, 2024

Show notes

Step into the sunshine with this week's episode of Stanning BTS, where hosts Kayla and Bethany officially welcome home BTS member j-hope from enlistment. Hobi joins Jin back in civilian life as the latter gears up to begin promoting his newly announced debut solo album, Happy. Listen now.

While the members weren't able to gather in full to usher j-hope back to civilian life, Jin was on site during the discharge to help his bandmate greet the press.

As ARMY continues to count down to a reunion in June 2025, Jin has rolled out more details about his optimistic-looking new album. Since Jin was the first to head out to complete the required military service period, he was only able to leave fans with a song (co-written with Coldplay), but has spent the months since his June discharge putting together a full collection of music.

Meanwhile, it's the perfect time to speculate what might be coming next from j-hope, who headlined Lollapalooza with a full-length solo album prior to enlistment. He also prepared a special set of music that arrived in the midst of his enlistment period.

Dive deep into all this news and more in this episode.
