Episodes
In 2017 BTS and Bighit created a completely fictional 15th century fairytale about a rare flower (also fictional) and Army have been confused ever since!
On this episode we try and set the record straight and explain the backstory to the song 'The Truth Untold'.
We also chat about the recent BTS book news, the so called 'global' screenings of D-Day in Japan and Tori's irrational fears.

You know the one where BTS taunt us for being obsessed fans?
Pied Piper is a scolding, a seduction, a confession, an apology, and a warning.
Lean in, don't close your eyes, don't look away and follow the sounds of the pipe!
Our Army shoutout this episode goes to @0901mg on Instagram, who's art is just as mesmerising as BTS performing Pied Piper.

The day us come for us tackle one of the most iconic BTS songs, Baepsae aka Silver Spoon. We try very hard to use our big brains to focus more on the lyrics and meaning and not so much on the hip thrusts. But we are only human!!!
This conversation does cover the evolution of the Baepsae hip thrust but it also delves into politics and societal issues like the housing crisis, generational divides and privilege.

A little bit of squandering fun for you!
This episode we review the OG YOLO anthem, Go Go.
And of course we end up going on a bit of a tangent about the economy, generational division and what the pandemic has done to shake up the global workforce.
Things are never as fun and simple as they seem with BTS!
We also take a break from Borahae Bites this episode to discuss a deeper issue within the fandom and how to speak to BTS with love and respect.
In the spirit of Go Go and spending money on...

I bet you're thinking 'hey, where is the Film Out episode?' and friends we have some news (all is explained in this episode).

But there will be a way to listen to it soon.

One word for you... FEETIES.
But first we/Tori must apologise for the tardiness of this episode, we don't plan on making this a habit but sometimes health issues get in the way of recording, thank you dear listeners for understanding.
This episode we dive head first into the swan lake/duck pond, to take a deeper look at Black Swan. We discuss the beautiful art film, the links to the 2010 movie and the painful lyrics which hurt just a little bit more since THAT Festa Dinner.

This episode on We Review BTS, we endeavour to tackle not one but two ON music videos!
It's a mammoth episode and somehow we have managed to pack it full of ridiculous 90s references, too many nipple mentions, a dramatic reading of the official MV and a lot of inappropriate references to conch shells.
Come on a ride with us through cyberpunk Bangtan all the way to dystopian biblical peasant Bangtan.
Yes, it's madness but hopefully you're laughing along with us.

It's a bit of a different one this episode. For the sake of continuity, we are reviewing the sort of but sort of not a music video for Make it Right.
This ep is a little bit giggly and chaotic, can you tell that the 4 of us hadn't all been in a room together for over a month?
There are some differing opinions on this one and potentially a somewhat far-fetched connection to Star Wars and Silence of the Lambs.
Please vindicate Tori and let us know if you also got Jedi vibes.

Things are a little different this episode with Victoria dialling in from her plague cave to join us to discuss the Japanese music video for Lights.
Please bare with use on this ep as the phone audio is not the greatest but we think you can still hear most of what's being said.
Lights turns out to be a very dreamy and sweet little song aimed once again at the fans and we loved talking about various theories around this song and reading out some army tweets from the day it was released.
