People often ask BTS (mostly in interviews) if they will ever release an album in English. As if they need to release an album in English in order to reach english speakers or the western world. 

I gave my thoughts on this matter in our latest Spring Day Reaction but I want to hear your thoughts. 

Do You Prefer BTS singing/rapping in their native language of Korean? Or would you prefer them to make an album in English? Or do you feel this is a non issue?

I love kdrama, Kpop, kfilm why would i want to watch it in english ? I am french its the same if i ask if you would watch « grey’s anatomy » in french ? I love bts and if They sing in english ok but they are korean why would they reject their nation/cultur/country/pride to do an album in english ? Loving its accepting the differences and live with them not changing the person to feeting yours standards !

BTS should keep singing in their native language. I love hearing them sing in Korean, even in Japanese. Music shouldn't be restricted to English only just because "we" as in the Western World feels more comfy with it. How come Western artists/ industry always speak of music as an universal language but as soon sth is sung in a different language, they ask for English versions? If music is universal, then don't request it to be English only. Each language and culture adds their own beauty to music. If you listen carefully and let the melody speak to you, you can understand/ feel what the artist is trying to convey. I prefer different genres and like listening to music in different languages. It is a good way of learning about other cultures as well. I've always been into Asian cultures and BTS sparked my interest a lot more. Meanwhile, I can understand certain words or sentences when listening to their songs. Some I can even sing along. I am reading about their culture and history and even learning to cook Korean food. So, we should all be more open minded towards music coming from non-English speaking societies. For me that is part of being global.
