When is BTS Persona Coming Out? -- Before discussing this album, I want to say that although my opinion may be slightly different, this song is lovely. The beat of the lyrics, Kim Namjoon, the visualization of the MV are excellent. It's a shame this song wasn't on the speak yourself setlist. Even though I already imagined how stunning it would be if one stadium sang with Namjoon. Beautiful, right? Haha
