V Live - 9/18
V Live, 9/18 https://weverse.io/bts/live/4-209875106

요 Yo

My commentary in green as usual. Today is my birthday! I am hosting a little birthday giveaway on Instagram. Also I'm just lowkey swooning over V's voice. How is it so perfectly deep and disarming...

🎶연극이 끝난후 - 샤프

today, I'm stuck on Korean ballads... so Imma listen to Korean ballads
cuz..
well first...
the reason is cuz...
sigh
this might be too TMI but~
no, it's not like that
it's just.. okay..
it's not like someone asked me to do this
or that I know anyone in these groups but just..

I just wanted to share my long-time fan love
I'm a fan of Brown Eyed Soul
I grew up really enjoying listening to their songs since I was young
so when I heard they were releasing a new song...

I know there are so many 90s babies that love Brown Eyed Soul that are now musicians
and I'm one of them
but now I just wanna listen to Sharp (the music currently playing) for a bit
so I'll listen to one more song
and then I'll play Brown Eyed Soul's song today

Today, that's why I turned on the live
So that ARMY can listen to them

Vibing to singing along to 🎶Feeling of Alone - Seo Yun Hyuk, So Soo Bin

I LOVEEE when I learn about new artists/music from other artists I love but especially BTS and even further, most especially V because I think he has the closest taste in music to my own. #vibes

Well first...

We're gonna switch over and listen to Brown Eyed Soul's songs now
but please! Listen to the songs of the current generation first though~

STRICTLY my opinion but I think he's careful to mention this because he knows there are a lot of budding/up and coming groups from HYBE and such so he wants to make sure to plug the newbs before switching gears a bit to appreciate some OGs.

V singing along to Brown Eyed Soul is everything. I love this so much. His voice is seduction itself. How does he exist?! blebleblebleb

this part's coming up...

He's so excited to share this with us. I love it when someone LOVES something so much they just cannot wait to share a piece of their joy with you. Be it a song, a book, a Kpop group, a piece of trivia, a recipe, etc. If ARMY knows anything, it's that it's so important to 'delight in others' delight' when someone is sharing something precious to them - even if you might not inherently care about the subject being shared directly. I love that ARMY knows how to 'yes, and' others' joy.

he's NEVER going to stop flexing his arms. we will never recover. i'm okay with this version of life
Timestamp

doing air runs with his finger and vibing to the music. V is all of us with our favorite musicians. kekekeke

Ahh 🎶'바람인가요 (Is It the Wind*) - Brown Eyed Soul' is coming up
Now.. we're just gonna listen to exactly 10 브아솔** songs and then imma end the live...my recommendations~

*This is the translation of the title but I don't know if it has a different title in English all together. For example, BTS' '작은 것들을 위한 시' is translated 'A Poem for Small Things' but is known in English as 'Boy With Luv' because they chose an entirely different title for inteernational audiences.

**브아솔 (beu ah sol)= as in 라운 (Brown) 이드 (Eyed) 울(Soul)

in a day..
🎶하루 열두 번도 더… more than 12 times a day...
omg.. what more is there to say

(he started speaking the lyrics but then having the song finish it off for him- full deference/appreciation for the vibes/musicality/lyrical moment)

smug V just so satisfied w/ his music rec is so cute

I only had exactly 2 glasses

I think you should know this though..
🎶My Story - Brown Eyed Soul
This song.. O_O (reading comments)WAIT.. YOU DO KNOW. YOU WANNA HEAR MY STORY?? ok i play it had just turned it on

(V is doing this thing where he's like "talking" with the lyrics of the song - saying a question or posing a thought he knows the lyrics will answer or address. he is being silly pants and vibing so hard and we are all the way here for it.)
See.. for me.. like I...
🎶you can't see the wind, but you can definitely feel it
which direction it's going/blowing
*🎶which direction it's going in
and my heart is...
🎶you can't see my feelings...
you all [can't see]
Screenshot 2025-09-20 at 3.30.07 PM.png
🎶but anyone can tell...what I want
Everytime I fall in love...
🎶everytime I fall in love...
pain
🎶I gather more scars
aish
🎶so my walls keep growing higher
(full blown pantomime atp) too higher
Screenshot 2025-09-20 at 3.35.06 PM.png
🎶Even though you called for me.. I stayed hiding behind those walls.. uncertain about what to do
(V has jumped out of frame and is making grunting noises while singing... so ..I now type from the grave)

Screenshot 2025-09-20 at 3.38.17 PM.png
No matter how hard I tried to hold
🎶No matter how hard I tried to embrace you
you..
🎶I cannot hold you
you..
*🎶a heart that's changed...
::sigh::

there are so many great/notable songs (also can be understood as "masterpieces" or like "timeless classics" or "songs that deserve recognition")

friends. he is IN. HIS. FEELS

Timestamp
because I am a considerate ARMY - please enjoy this part of the live where he sings along and hits the key change and I perish. okay bai

FULL LYRICS to MY STORY by Brown Eyed Soul

Okay.. I Would Love - Brown Eyed Soul
kkkkk* 크~ this is the sound Koreans make when they're deeply satisfied with something; a great song, a great beverage, etc.
This is truly a hittt
Have I ever played 'I Would Love' for you all before?

(🎶starts playing)
ya....

I think he's going to keep doing this interactive talking/singing/playing along w/ the lyrics of the songs throughout the live... which is very cute and a nightmare and a half to type out for me but anything for [V]IBES

In my chest..
*🎶in my chest... *
37.5 degrees celsius (~99.5 in fahrenheit)
🎶[it] reaches a fever pitch...
you.

(please be so fr right now - this is SO HOT and SO CUTE and SO DERPASAURUS REX)
ARMY, are you alive? anyone? anyone???

🎶Even though I try to hide it.. I just can't.. Everyone can tell I'm sick from this breakup
Take a memo [of these lyrical nuggets of wisdom]

Oh - I played this for you before? then ok on to the next one.. ::immediately stops the song:: lol

no one can stop me now. Timestamp

🎶Love Ballad - Brown Eyed Soul FULL LYRICS

I... really..
...that I'm a BIG fan..
🎶I... cannot hide it
(😑 - I need you all to realize he waited for the lyric to finish his sentence and is smugglywuggly about it and i lol and i 😑)
we've gotten full blown actor V AND singer V

one sec...

I've said this before but what he says is "잠시만요" (jamshimanyo) which translates to like "one sec" "just a moment" - and he says this ALL the time as filler speech. In episodes of Run BTS, this is often used as his "trigger" phrase to squirt him with water #iykyk - if you don't, please enjoy many episodes of Run BTS until you come across these moments hehehehe

Which one?
🎶You is good too!

Ah...
Waow...

*🎶The Lord in the Storm - Brown Eyed Soul
(inexplicable shoe seal clap moment Timestamp and then deadly serious)
there's no Korean cultural explanation for this behavior. it is glorious though.
I guess sometimes one is just so deeply entrenched in their feels one might feel compelled to take off their slippers and clap them together and then sit back and be 4000% serious.. makes sense. 1000/10 on brand for one kim taehyung.

Next song? um no.. imma listen to the WHOLE song.
Me? I...
Screenshot 2025-09-20 at 4.22.59 PM.png
full blown drama. but the arms. so extra. so beauty. so arms. so perfect

🎶If It's the Same - Brown Eyed Soul
I know so many great songs

Ah... no. okay no..right now..so many great songs....
SIGHHH
