*Color coded by known association by how much either of them participated in the making of the song. ~ Jin ~ Jungkook ~ both.

*Jin and Jk has participated in a unit song with almost every member except V. Sang Dream Glow with Jimin and Charlie XCX for their mobile game.

*RM's presence throughout Jinkook and other team members' songs strong since day 1. The lyrical guru of BTS

*Both have other music credits in their albums not stated above. Personally see those songs as less personal to them and are themed for broader topics or related to the whole team.

*rough summary behind each song above, will update as I recall details after rewatching content.

—release the mixtape |myg|

‪

⟢ pairing: BTS!yoongi x Producer!reader

⟢ word count: 950 wordds

⟢ genre: nsfw 18+, smut, pwp.

⟢ warnings: none explicit smut: masturbation, intentional voyeur on the masturbators part.

⟢ summary: You, a new BigHit Producer, help Suga with finishing his AD2 Mixtape. Hopefully the release is not what you're expecting.

⟢ an: originally written and posted to twitter! enjoy this little drabble!

Yoongi was pacing the hallway outside of his studio. He had his headphones in, but no music playing. Deep in thought, he didn’t notice you leaning on the wall watching him, eyes a light in silent laughter. 

“Burning a hole thru the carpet there, Yoongs?” 

He looked up at you.

“Oh, sorry, I didn’t mean to interrupt your genius thinking.” You apologize, afraid you’ve pissed off the gorgeous, brooding, 𝘦𝘹𝘩𝘢𝘶𝘴��𝘦𝘥 man you mostly see in passing, though you’ve had your fair share of flirting. 

As a newer producer, you were training under Adora mostly, though you were praying one day Yoongi would take you under his wing and share more of that brilliant brain with you than what he had already imparted. Among other things.

“It’s cool.. just stuck on this one track for AD2...” he faded off, resuming his pacing.

“Oh, okay... I’ll leave you to it then...”

You turn away, about to head back to your own area to continue the track you were working on for TXT when you felt a soft, cool hand on your wrist.

“Want to give me some input? It’s with this English part, and normally I’d ask Joon, but he’s on set filming something.”

You couldn’t believe your luck. You nod, afraid to speak.

He drops your wrist and turns back to his studio door, back turned away as he punches in a code to open it. You follow him into the room, the lighting providing an ambience that was not helpful for remaining calm.

Alone in a soundproof studio with Yoongi? Even your wildest dreams couldn’t have imagined up this turn of events.

“The fans are waiting for this mixtape, and I’m itching to release it, but I need to get this part right.” 

He sits down in his chair and you lean down next to him, watching as he loads up the track and plays it for you. He raps along with what’s already laid on the track and shows you his yellow legal pad with the English parts he’s considering.

As you can speak both languages, with English as your first language, you are able to provide him with context for certain words and provide alternatives, which he appreciates. 

“Ahh, okay,” he nods. “So now it makes sense in English, right?”

“Yes, this word matches better to what you are trying to say. The other one is more of a negative.”

He looks over at you, still standing but now leaning over at the waist, your elbows on his desk as you scratch out a part and rewrite it clearer so he can read it easier. 

You can feel his gaze travel down your back, following the curve of your jeans along the round of your ass.

Your face heats up, but you don’t say anything; the fact that he was even checking you out was making your heart pound. 

“Can you check the other ones too? Make sure they make sense?”

He flips the legal pad to the front & points out some sections for you to look at, smiling.

He sits back again, admiring his view and you focus in on the lyrics, using a different color pen to document your ideas. 

You’re so focused on this task, you’re not aware of the rhythmic sound filling the room, not until you feel a soft touch to your ass, followed by a squeeze & quiet moan.

You turn your head, coming face to face with Yoongi’s cock, wrapped by his lithe fingers gliding up & down his shaft. Precum dripping, he was close. He bit his lip, eyes now locked on yours as his hand continues to glide along your backside.

You let out a small gasp, & his eyes shut briefly, his hand speeding up as he squeezed his cock, spreading his precum. He was thrusting up from his chair now, & you could tell he was imagining his length filling every hole you had to offer.

“Y-Yoongi..” your voice is breathy; you can feel your body responding to him.

Your breathless utterance of his name sends him over the edge, head back, long ropes of his cum streaming out over his hand and pooling at the base as he lets out the most sensual moan your ears have ever had the pleasure of hearing. He pulls off his shirt one handed & cleans himself up as you stand there frozen & watching. He stands & readjusts himself, walking to the couch & grabbing a discarded hoodie to shrug on. 

“Thanks for all your help.” His voice is low as he approaches you. 

“N-no problem.”

You stretch both arms up to the ceiling trying to act nonchalant and Yoongi’s arms wrap around you in a hug, catching you off guard. His face tucks into your neck, nose nuzzling you softly as his hands drop to your ass. You relax your arms around his neck, enjoying the feel.

After weeks & weeks of shameless flirting & sexual tension between the two of you, you hoped that finally it was going somewhere. 

“Y/N?” 

“Hmmm?”

“You smell amazing.” 

His phone begins to blare loudly, one of the managers' names flashing on the screen.

You felt his lips brush softly across your neck before he released you, a soft sigh from his lips.

“Gotta take this call, babe. But I’ll see you tonight.”

“Tonight?”

“Since you helped me, I’m technically finished with writing the mixtape, and we always celebrate at the dorm.”

“When will you release? I want to be there.” You say, hand on the doorknob.

“Tonight.”

“Tonight?! But don’t you have to record still?”

“Oh, you meant the mixtape?” He smirks, and you catch on to his promise of a good night tonight for you both.

“Soon.”

Nostalgia |Kim Namjoon|

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

Brothers who share no blood are the brothers who stand together in the face of all adversity.

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

Namjoon exhausted frame sagged against the balcony railing, rolling his neck to the side to release the tension. The foreign night sky sneered down on him, so hauntingly familiar to the sky of Seoul yet lacking in all of the comforting qualities. The United States was a nice place, but he missed hearing a language he didn’t have to think twice about. He supposed that was the reason his mind refused to shut down, even as the others slept soundly in their hotel rooms. The responsibilities of leader, idol, and translator piling up on his shoulders made it impossible for him to rest soundly, even as the rest of his body cried out for it.

The city was as restless as he was.

Seoul was no different, always alive with life at any given time, but something about the honking horns and shouting pedestrians grated on his ears.

Namjoon slipped the headphones from around his neck and onto his head to drown out the noise with something that made sense.

His nimble fingers flipped to a random playlist without much thought, and a soft smile dimpled his cheeks when the first notes of “No More Dream” filtered through his headphones. Namjoon let his mind slip back into the days leading up to their debut, still new but not naive to the trials they were up against. Their songs always carried under and overtones of confidence, but it was a way they reminded themselves in times of self doubt that they were better than the words people tossed from vulgar, thoughtless lips.

The lyrics of their songs carried him across a mountain of memories, some good and some bad, but he didn’t regret a thing.

It wasn’t until he pressed play on “Sea” did he realize how their music evolved, how he evolved.

These six men who started out as strangers in his life, wormed their way into his subconscious. Everything he did now, he did while thinking of them. These strangers who slowly became his brothers each played a hand in the creation of the man Namjoon was today. His parents started the mold, and his friends continued it.

“Where there is hope, there are trails.”

Namjoon let an ache take hold of him for the briefest of moments. It was an ache that kept all of them up at night at some point or another: a mixture of homesickness and not feeling strong enough. This song meant a lot to all of them. It demonstrated a part of them that, despite how high they climbed, still remained with them. That light at the end of the tunnel was still surrounded by darkness.

They clung to optimism and hope like a lifeline because without it Namjoon wasn’t sure where they would be. Optimism and each other is all they have at the end of the day.

He was grateful for all of their awards, fans, and recognition.

He was thankful for his brothers.

Maybe he’s capable of the rise to fame on his own, but he doesn’t want to find out. All of this is worth nothing without them by his side.

"I see ocean. I see desert. I see the world. Everything’s the same thing with a different name. It’s life again."

[neo-shitty]

mas madami din nasusulat ko dito compared sa school essays <//3 we re on the same boat lmao yung no longer human right? may kinalaman ba yun sa bsd or nah? 👀 uhh di ko sure if may cb bts pero i think enlistment nila is matagal tagal pa? mga 2 yrs plus ganon dahil ata chinange yung age limit or smth idk LOL and true, pabagsak ng pabagsak economy ng pinas, sadge :<

- 👻

"mas madami din nasusulat ko dito compared sa school essays" for a second i thought na you write fics here too, i think you're referring to our ask exchange lang (UNLESS o.O) no longer human has no correlation to bsd unfortunately. i just thought the title fit the apocalyptic vibe *wink* not korea changing its laws for bts (not really but yk, kinda bc the boys really contribute to the country's economy). PINAS CANT RELATE.

halaaaa uy sayang :(( highkey wanted a bigger campus too but covid happened and i kinda chickened out abt living far away xd have any plans in taking cets for the big 4 schools? (idk if they still do cets given the current covid situation but). i'm glad you have some direction in your life!! i'm sure you'll make a great doctor in the future ;n; the world needs you! i'm taking accountancy atm :D

hala nov 29 ang early naman ng pasko nila HAHAH "daming members tas need lahat kumanta sa isang song" actually that doesn't end up happening HJAHJA parang may favorites na nakakakanta tapos yung iba nagcecenter sa dance pero di pa rin lahat nasasali jdjskahf (referring to black on black). sa newer comeback which was resonance, they remixed it with some of the title tracks of the nct 2021 cb. im not sure if lahat ng members nakakanta tho :D im starting to forget the idols i know tbh :DDDD im just getting old lang ata. hala oy baka maubos mo lahat ng theory (my god my laptop shut down midway thru typing this and i thought i had to restart :D

and yes i watched the new teaser and it's making me want to read the dream within a dream book they keep referencing. it reminds me of inception (idk if you watched the movie, i recommend it). the movie involves entering people's minds through dreams and it's very interesting. it's what inspired checkmate :D in addition to that, i thought it was so visually pleasing.

help me what were the issues with your class sa all girls school HAJHA what if you became anti-man sa paghigh school mo like wtf is this specimen o.O i think mandatory na may pagdaanan ka sa high school para may character development ka ganon HAJHAJ yun lang mga pabuhat hahah WAIT YOUR FOUNDATION DAY HAS RIDES???

inis na inis ako kay michael jackson esp sa end na todo hatak siya kay tanjiro like KSDJHAKJHFJKAH f off man deal with it natalo ka >:"( pero out of all villains talaga, mahito scores the spot na di ko talaga mabigyan ng awa. i hate him so much T_T

FRAME BY FRAME - All References in the MIC DROP Fan Video by Kiera and Arwen (with pictures and links)

First of all, go follow @seiyoko and @salukiart, they are amazing artists, animators, and creators!

If I missed any references, please message me and I will add them in!

The opening line of Dope - 0:13

At 0:08 in the video, all member’s names are graffiti’d on the walls.

A line from the song Come Back Home

From about 0:25 to 0:29, Steve Aoki’s eyes watch over the boys from the Mic Drop remix. Also, the TV says ARMY <3

Also at 0:29, there are posters lining the walls from BTS’s past comebacks. If you look closely, you can also see their logo on the controllers (this is much more easily visible later on in the video). The room MIGHT also be modeled to look like a room in their current dorm but I’m not sure.

At 0:30, the first screen of the game finally shows up, and it lasts for about 10 seconds. In that time, we can see:

The stage is modeled from their first music video, No More Dream

J-Hope (who’s character name is written as JHS in the game-- short for Jung Hoseok, his real name) is firing a Supreme gun that shoots fake money (lol).

The little mascot in the Info section is Van, a mascot from the BT21 series created by BTS and Line. Each mascot was made by/represents one member of BTS, except for Van, who represents ARMYs.

“Today, your dream begins! A new path has been opened, don’t hesitate!” I am pretty sure these are lyrics from one of their songs since, throughout the video, Van pretty much mostly speaks in lyrics. I haven’t been able to find this one though.

At 0:41, the stage changes to reflect their We Are Bullet Proof Pt. 2 music video.

Van’s quote “It’s like a desert here, there’s nothing but rocks” is a reference to the hidden song on the LYH album, Sea.

ALSO, a some of the monsters designs are based on lyrics and references from BTS’s music. I’m sure all of them are but I just can’t make the connection. Maybe the rock monster is also a reference to Sea?

Edit: Apparently most of the enemy designs are based off of album covers! This is according to Kiera’s twitter.

At 0:46, Suga joins the party as MYG (short for Min Yoongi, his real name).

J-Hope’s special attack at 0:48 is a reference to the short movie he stars in during the Wings era called MAMA (also the name of his solo song in the Wings album).

I’m not sure I even have to put this, but the great transition at 0:51 is a dead ringer for the iconic MIC MIC BUNGEE move that Suga and J-Hope do in the Mic Drop remix MV.

So now Suga is in the frontlines, attacking. His method of attack is the lighter he’s seen with throughout the entire HYYH series. It first made it’s appearance in the I NEED U music video (seen clearly at 0:29).

The stage has changed to reflect their music video N.O. The red and white color palettes of the monsters in this area are supposed to reflect the red and white album.

And at 1:05 (we’re only A MINUTE INTO THIS VIDEO WOW), they’re in the classroom setting from Boy In Luv. I have no idea what the monster is supposed to be. Is it balancing on a candle? Chalk? Does it represent the red string of fate???

Whoa hey, it’s 1:07 and we’re in the Just One Day music video! I’m fairly sure that paper airplane monster refers to the paper airplane J-Hope had in Spring Day? (At 3:20.) I don’t recall paper airplanes in their other MVs unless there was one in Just One Day that I missed?

Also, it looks like V has shown up! (As KTH, or Kim Taehyung.)

Suga’s special attack starts at about 1:09 and lasts until 1:14. In it, he throws a rock at the monster, an alarm goes off, and a piano falls on the monster’s head. This is a reference to the short film FIRST LOVE, released during the Wings era. In it, Suga throws a rock into a music store, where a piano sits, and an alarm goes off.

Back in the real world at 1:15, we can see more detailed posters from different eras. I just know the Dope era one on the right.

At 1:18, we’re in the underground subway setting for Danger. (If it wasn’t obvious, the stage appearances correspond to the order the actual music videos were released in.) V unleashes his attack, unfurling black wings and firing feathers. In the MV for Blood, Sweat, and Tears, as well as other subsequent material during this era, V was seen and associated with black wings. I think he’s fighting the Gucci snake? Because V loves Gucci in real life?

Also, Van is back! “It’s already your second year, time flows fast...” references their song Second Grade/So 4 More (which is an underrated BANGER btw).

Also, easter egg time: There’s graffiti reading “What Am I to You?” which is the title of one of their intro songs.

New player! Jin (aka KSJ, aka Kim Seokjin) appears at 1:24 and fights by blowing kisses :). Blowing kisses at ARMYs is pretty much his thing lol. Also, blowing kisses sends out hearts that hurt the enemy, and while that’s a common visualization for blowing kisses, I pray that its also a reference to Jin’s heart events.

They’re at the storefront present in the War of Hormone MV. The enemy he’s fighting is, I think, one of the black-clothed goons from Not Today and the Mic Drop remix MV. (It also appeared in Kiera’s last full-length fan animation of Cypher Pt. 3. That video is itself chock-full of references! Incidentally, I believe Van’s quote here is also referencing that song.)

Two seconds later at 1:26, Jimin (aka PJM, aka Park Jimin) makes his appearance. This time, they’re at the bonfire scene from I NEED U (also appears in their prologue MV I think). Their fighting a flower monster that I don’t know the significance of.

Jimin attacks with an umbrella. I think the umbrella is from the Love Yourself short films but I’m not entirely sure.

At 1:37, we get our first look at the achievement system in this game.

It’s all the awards they’ve won up until this point! Really awesome touch.

Two new players appear this time: Jungkook (JJK, Jeon Jungkook) and RM (KNJ, Kim Namjoon). I have no idea what Jungkook’s attack is: he pulls some string from his wrist and it transforms into a spear?  Jungkook’s attack may be referencing the move from DNA. Strands of DNA come oout of his arm and form a spear. (Thank you @bangpdofficial!)

The stage is a scene from their Dope MV. Van’s quote, “so this is Bangtan style,” references the same song.

I am almost certain that the lion enemy has a mane modeled after the lily flower that appears frequently in the Bangtan Cinematic Universe. It’s even got six petals.

At 1:46, Jimin unleashes his special attack. The attack involves him eating an apple and then teleport-kicking the enemies. I think this is a reference to his short film, LIE.

The stage is from the For You MV, a song/MV exclusively released in Japan. I am not sure what the enemies are supposed to be.

Jimin’s kick transitions into the next scene, where the stage is modeled after the tunnel scene from the RUN MV. I am pretty sure the enemy is a reference to Baepsae/Crow-tit, and this bird represents the wealthy older generation.

A wild BTS lightstick appears at 1:53! (Also, we got some new scenes of their room with some new posters.) 9:18 might refer to the date the Love Yourself album was released (thank you anon!)

A new stage shows up at 1:55. I don’t quite recognize it but it might be the Japanese version of I NEED U? We can also get a clearer look at the bird from Baepsae.

At 1:57 we come to yet another new stage modeled after the Japanese Run MV. It’s filled with graffiti of the names of a ton of their songs. 

V activates his special attack. A single lightbulb hangs from the ceiling and a table appears, which he kicks towards the baepsae. I believe it’s a reference to his interrogation scene in his short film, STIGMA.

Also, in a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment, V’s attack animation ends with him giving a peace sign and his adorable puppy Yeontan popping out of his pocket.

Two minutes into the video and we get a new stage (modeled after the Fire MV) and we finally see RM’s attack. He pulls out a giant lollipop and smacks enemies with it. He’s frequently seen with a yellow lollipop in the Bangtan Cinematic Universe.

And now they’re in a stage modeled after the Save Me MV.

Again, the stage changes into one based on Young Forever. I don’t know what that enemy’s supposed to be, but he’s pretty cool looking. And an animation for downed party members has never been so cute. (But what is that in Jin’s arms?)

At 2:08, RM provides an assist move that revives V and Jin. It takes the appearance of his BT21 mascot, Koya.

We get another look at the achievements screen at 2:10. It’s coming along nicely!

And a level selection screen a couple of seconds later! Not only does it show the title of the MV, but the description includes the album the song came from. The level code is also the date of the comeback (thank you @bangpdofficial)

2:18 shows a stage based on the Blood, Sweat, and Tears MV, as well as my favorite enemy design in the whole video: a dear featuring the circle designs from the Wings album cover. 

For his special attack, RM unleashes a phone booth to crush the enemies, referencing his short film REFLECTION.

More awards!

Also, seems like the boys have started taking notes. You can see a DNA strand drawn on the bottom one (blocked a little by the YouTube bar--sorry about that).

New stage at 2:30! It’s the train from Spring Day. Van’s line about forgetting shoes also references the lone pair of shoes featured many times in that video.

Jin summons his pet sugar gliders to restore the HP of the rest of the party (to the bewilderment of Van).

Jin uses his special attack in the Not Today stage at 2:45. He takes a photo with the polaroid camera seen many times in the Bangtan Cinematic Universe, and it turns the enemy to stone. It crumbles away under his touch. This might relate to the way Jin crumbled as though he were stone in the Blood Sweat and Tears MV.

At 2:50, we’re taken to a new stage. I think it’s based on the Japanese MV of Blood Sweat and Tears. Van’s quote is another reference to the song Sea.

A closer look at the controller at 2:55.

Even more awards! Too many that I can’t even count ‘em.

And at 3:03, we see a DNA-based stage. Van’s quote is once again from Sea.

Jungkook’s special attack has all the other members in BTS appear behind him in succession before he delivers a punch to the enemy. It’s safe to say that this references the song (not the short film) BEGIN, which is something of an ode to the hyungs of Bangtan. <3 (song) (film)

3:20. Hey look it’s pretty much a direct replica of that one scene from DNA (at 3:49).

At 3:25 we get our first look at the game over screen. Among a bunch of other “you have failed” messages, there’s this one (”don’t be such a try-hard”) that further references Baepsae.

Looks like they keep getting knocked out in the Mic Drop stage. That weird rainbow ball from DNA is tough.

Van’s words of encouragement are nearly a direct quote from the best-known line in Sea. “Where there’s hope, there’s trials.”

Last but not least, BTS’s achevements have earned them a spot on the world’s scoreboard, their debut on Billboard’s Hot 100 as number 28. <3

This fan animation was absolutely stellar and the attention to detail was mind-blowing. Even the tiniest details like how each member’s idle animation would work had so much thought put into it. Again, mad props to @seiyoko, @salukiart and @yowgurt for their incredible work!

From 21st century girls w politics, spring day mv and the ferry sinking, suicide in the I need u mv and many other things I feel like they take risks for the sake of portraying what they hold true to their hearts/morals not necessarily what will sell best and I can’t name many other groups who do that as well :( also my boys cute af I love those dweebs IM SO WHIPPED HAH

there’s no person in particular that really sticks out but I will say I’ve always admired jungkook, and really all trainees for that matter, who leave their families to start training really young because its a process thats hard physically, emotionally and mentally for late teen/early twenties trainees but there’s sO many kids who enter in their pre-teens and idk how they survive also I realized this doesn’t answer your question at all I'm sorry its 1:28 AM I’m just waiting for the DNA mv to drop

7 would you want to be a part of a kpop group if you had the opportunity to be?

I’d absolutely love to be in the entertainment industry and I think the staging, costuming, group dynamics and publicity (variety shows, fan service/interations) in the kpop industry are all really cool but I honestly don't think I have the mental strength to do it lmao idols go through so much and I don’t think I could handle it regardless of how much I enjoy singing/dancing/performing etc.

8 what languages do you speak, and which do you want to learn?

english and some spanish??? I understand a lot because quite a bit of my family speaks it but my conversational skills have gone downhill recently because I haven’t had a lot of opportunities to practice :( with that said, I’d like to be fluent in spanish and - BEFORE YOU COME FOR ME READ IT ALL OK - I’d like to learn korean BECAUSE!!!!! when I was little before I moved I would go to a farmers market by my house and a lot of the older ladies there spoke korean and little holly though it sounded so pretty and I always wanted to chat w them ok THATS WHY I’m not a creepy koreaboo this has been a thing since before I even knew what a kpop was ok bye

BTS (House of Cards) Translated by Color Coded Lyrics

[optomstudies]

Tagged by @fuckstudy I only just got around to it today :’) I have such a range of genres I like, I couldn’t decide whether I should choose variety or my absolute favourites ><”</p>

The rules: Choose ten of your favourite songs and provide a line or so of your favourite lyrics from each, numbering them or spacing them out so that it is clear to see where each new song begins. You must not include the song title or a part of the chorus.

“ It’s like I’m dreaming The time you and I walk together Our path is filled with light Feeling for the first time ever, these new colors ”  Woo Hoo  (기대해도 좋은 날) - Mamamoo

“ More than a popular movie, more than a pretty view I want to hear your story Like the stars in the sky, whether it’s farther or closer You shine in my eyes”  Campfire - Red Velvet

“ Even when I fall and hurt myself I keep running toward my dream “  Epilogue: Young Forever - BTS

“ Here, the universe that shines in the darkness Will you please greet the unfamiliar me? “  Galaxy - Ladies’ Code

“ I didn’t know there were this many Paths I can’t go and paths I can’t take I never felt this way before Am I becoming an adult? “  Lost - BTS

“ Memories are crumbling like dried flower leaves On my fingertips and under my feet and behind my back Like chasing butterflies or wondering in dreams I follow your traces “  Run - BTS

“ Your star light that passes by me once Two meaningless stars, if it’s not one “  Gemini - Taeyeon

“ It’s the path you chose, don’t be scared This is just the first flight “  Outro: Wings - BTS

“ The morning’s going to come again No darkness, no season can last forever “  Spring Day - BTS

“ Is it a dream or is it a nightmare? I don’t know if your voice is a dream or a reality Watch carefully, whispered in my ear Forgetting all your fragrance “  TV’s On - Lee Bada

lol got so frustrated at the end because there were all these songs i liked a lot but had terrible lyrics :p

Hope you enjoyed listening and maybe got a little interested in kpop! :)

What Returning to Work Will Look Like in Offices, Cafes and Factories Around the World

(Bloomberg) — Wearable social-distancing buzzers. Masked blackjack dealers. Drive-thru electronics purchases. From cubicles to factory floors, cafes to clothing boutiques, businesses around the world are dreaming up creative ways to reopen, attempting to start revenue flowing again while minimizing the risk to customers and employees.

The global economy is riding on their ability to pull off that delicate balance. A new flareup of Covid-19 cases could shutter offices, stores, restaurants and manufacturing plants once again, further choking off the flow of goods and services and threatening more jobs. Some governments, such as China, are providing rigorous oversight of the process. Others, including President Donald Trump’s administration, have offered looser guidance and are entrusting businesses to monitor their facilities. Scientists are still studying how the virus is spread, and whether keeping people six feet apart is enough, adding to the risks.

The companies’ plans rely on a steady supply of masks, gloves, thermometers and tests that is likely to strain budgets and manufacturers’ ability to keep up. Social distancing will be built in, with people divided by barriers and kept apart from colleagues and customers, a U-turn after years of movement toward open floor plans. Some companies will monitor employees more closely than ever before, while others will let workers choose how much protection they need. The way we work, shop, travel and eat in 2020 – and probably beyond – is being plotted out in boardrooms around the world.

Here are the changes companies are contemplating for their workplaces in the coming weeks.

The Office

Seats on the shuttle bus to Unilever’s Shanghai offices can be reserved using a chat group. Employees must be masked to board, and they sit on alternating sides, one person to each four-seat row. Upon arrival, each worker scans a QR code and fills out a health status report to get a daily pass to enter. Then comes the temperature check and the hand sanitizer.

Inside the office, movement is tightly regulated. Employees keep their masks on and are encouraged to use the stairs instead of the elevator, with spritzes of hand sanitizer before and after touching the regularly disinfected handrail. In the canteen, a single person is allowed at each four-seat table.

Such measures might seem predictable in a centrally controlled society like China, but some version of them is starting to appear in the West. At Britain’s former state phone monopoly, BT Group Plc, call center workers sit two meters apart, and walkways are designated as one-way to keep people from brushing past each other. Temperature checks are becoming routine at Sistema, the Russian conglomerate, which also says it’s developed its own two-hour test for Covid-19. Employees who come to the office have been tested in the past couple of weeks, though as many as half of the call center workers at MTS, the mobile network controlled by Sistema, are operating out of their homes.

More Room

Flexible space operator Knotel, which runs offices for corporations including Uber and Netflix, says workplace design has to change. Offices will likely be less densely populated, and altered to make them “antiviral,” according to Amol Sarva, Knotel’s chief executive officer.

“Things like ventilation, UV light, density screening, video monitoring, and temperature monitoring, cleaning protocols — those are all going to have to change,” he said. “Certainly there’ll be more space.”

In China, Cushman & Wakefield has helped move nearly a million workers back into 800 million square feet (74 million square meters) of office space. The company is creating a Recovery Readiness manual for landlords and tenants, based in part on its experience in China, that includes colored carpets to create visual boundaries around desks, plexiglass shields between desks that face each other and signs that direct walking traffic in a single direction.

Fewer Meetings

Even when people do come back to the office, meetings will be limited, and large gatherings are out of the question. This week, Facebook Inc. CEO Mark Zuckerberg canceled all physical events of 50 or more people through June 2021. The vast majority of employees are required to work from home through May, and those who need to carry on doing so will be able to work at home through the summer.

The road to normalcy may be much longer than that. At Abcam Plc, a British protein research company, 40 out of 300 China-based employees started returning to work in Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou and Hong Kong on Feb. 14. Two months later, the company is running split shifts to maintain distancing for the roughly 50% of employees based in manufacturing, logistics and essential lab work.

The Factory

On Feb. 10, Winly Automotive (Wuhan) Ltd. was assigned a checklist from the government. To reopen, the company would be required to have a one-month stash of masks and sanitizer, take a photo of the supplies, and send it to officials before submitting to a detailed inspection. “The policy has been constantly changing,” said Wang Xuepan, one of the plant’s managers. “It’s very difficult for us to handle.”

In the Seattle area, Boeing Co. has worked with the Washington state labor department on a plan to reopen its factories. It will be doling out cloth masks to most workers, saving the gold-standard N95 masks for a select few in more hazardous conditions.

Unlike office drones, factory workers have to show up in person to get the job done. Figuring out what basic protections they’ll need is part of the challenge. At Boeing, industrial engineers are analyzing the sequence of work on its assembly lines to find ways to spread apart workers.

Taking the Temperature

Airbus SE has divided employees at its plants into red and blue teams, who don’t see each other because they use different routes to enter and exit buildings. Volkswagen AG is allotting more time between shifts and reducing expectations for production because it takes longer for people to move around each other at a safe distance. Ford Motor Co. is experimenting with wearable devices that would buzz workers if they get too close together.

While the virus can be transmitted by people with no symptoms, many manufacturers are doing temperature checks, whether with thermometers, thermal imaging cameras or — in the case of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV in the U.S. — reusable forehead strips.

Fiat Chrysler, whose CEO Mike Manley is one of the executives talking with Trump about reopening the economy, is requiring workers to fill out a health questionnaire two hours before reporting to work each day. They must bring either a hard copy, or scan a QR code with their phone, to prove they aren’t displaying signs of illness or exposure to the virus, according to documents obtained by Bloomberg. Workers can’t enter the plant without it.

Some companies are closing cafeterias in favor of vending machines. Dongfeng PSA in Wuhan is handing out prepared lunchboxes to employees, who must eat at least 1.5 meters apart with their backs to each other.

Zhejiang Geely Holding Group Co. said Chairman Li Shufu wrote a song to keep workers motivated through such dreariness. “A world full of expectations/Turned to dust of yesterday,” the lyrics go. “Their sorrow flowing into the sea/But the flower of love is quietly blooming.”

The Airplane

When air travel resumes in earnest, it’s likely that hand sanitizers, face masks and thermometers will become standard at most major airports, said David Powell, medical adviser for the International Air Transport Association, a trade group. All three have shortcomings, but can also reassure passengers, he said.

The International Civil Aviation Organization, which sets global flying standards, wants to establish a “public health corridor concept.” Under such a plan, major airlines, airports, public authorities and other parties would adopt common protocols for screening, boarding, in-flight procedures, arrivals, customs and baggage.

“We cannot all just stop flying,” Ansa Jordaan, the group’s chief of aviation medicine, said during an April 15 webcast.

Emirates Airline said this week it was the first to conduct rapid Covid-19 blood tests, with results available in 10 minutes for passengers flying Wednesday from Dubai to Tunisia. It plans to extend the procedure to other flights, according to Chief Operating Officer Adel Al Redha.

Other carriers are attempting less invasive measures. Etihad Airways, another major airline in the United Arab Emirates, plans to deploy touchless self-service devices at its hub airport in Abu Dhabi to identify travelers with medical conditions, including the early stages of coronavirus.

In the U.S., American Airlines Group Inc. plans to continue spacing customers apart during boarding and flights, conducting extensive cleanings of aircraft and reducing food and beverage service to limit contact, CEO Doug Parker said in an April 15 video message.

“When you do fly, aircraft cleanliness and social distancing matter greatly,” he said.

The Store

In China, it’s become standard to have your temperature taken any time you want to go shopping. Visitors to the Wuhan International Plaza luxury mall are checked for a fever at the door, before they queue up to be served one at a time at Louis Vuitton.

Levi Strauss & Co. disinfects its Chinese stores three times a day and requires temperature checks for customers, who are expected to wear masks before entering the store. Fitting rooms and products that have been tried on are disinfected each time they’re used.

It’s unclear whether practices implemented in China will make their way to other parts of the world, though several companies said they’ll learn from their experience in Asia.

Drive-Thru Shopping

Another technique is to keep shoppers out of the store altogether. Dixons Carphone Plc, the electronics retailer, is considering plans for contact-free “drive-thru” style stores to limit the risk of coronavirus for staff and customers. Shoppers would park outside, call the store to select items to buy, use a contactless system to pay and then open their trunks so staff could deliver the products.

Salespeople at luxury retailers in China were already using social media to engage with customers before the outbreak, but they’ve stepped up the effort since, adding clients on WeChat and sending them information about the latest trends. Louis Vuitton tried showcasing its summer product line in a livestream show on March 26 featuring a social-media star, but was ridiculed for the quality of the video. Sometimes there’s no substitute for personal contact.

The Restaurant

Buffets and salad bars will be re-thought, and self-serve drink stations may be “a thing of the past,” said Taco John’s CEO Jim Creel, who added that other changes are afoot at the 387-store chain. Taco John’s popular salsa bar — around for the past 15 years — may be removed.

“We hope we don’t have to take them out — that we’ll be able to figure out a way to make them still work — but I’m afraid the fear factor our there will force us to go to a pre-packaged option.”

A test of self-ordering kiosks may also get pulled back. “It was a good idea three months ago, but not so good today,” Creel said.

Phone Pay

In China, restaurants and even bars have opened back up in Shanghai, with varying limits on seating arrangements – some allow six to a table, others only one. In Beijing, restaurants are doing temperature checks. In Wuhan, most places are still delivery-only.

“In the short run, as dining rooms open back up again, you’ll probably see many restaurants space their tables a little bit further apart,” said Jack Li, CEO of menu researcher Datassential. “You’ll see more restaurants try to adopt phone pay. So not having to hand your money or card to anyone. You’re certainly going to see more places continue to do things like contactless delivery.”

Starbucks Corp. is taking a store-by-store approach to resuming business activities in the U.S., with services limited to drive-thru, delivery and takeout via mobile orders and contactless pickup.

“As we experienced in China, this will be a journey,” CEO Kevin Johnson wrote in a memo to staff on Thursday.

The Menu

Chains are cutting back menus, focusing on products that sell best and are easy to make. Romano’s Macaroni Grill has pared down its menu to 70% of what it used to be, saying goodbye to pizzas and calzones recently. McDonald’s all-day breakfast menu is gone.

Fazoli’s Italian restaurant chain is trying to secure Purell sanitizing stations – four for each store — along with “millions” of alcohol-based wipes for re-opening the dining rooms of its 216 locations. The company is also re-thinking bathrooms and looking into touch-less soap dispensers. It’s an investment, but a worthwhile one, says CEO Carl Howard.

“I want to let the consumer know I’m doing everything I can to keep them as safe as possible,” Howard said in an interview.

The Arena

Large public gatherings aren’t top of mind yet in China, but Trump and the people who run the U.S.’s biggest sports leagues appear aligned in their thinking that live games, at least in some form, are a critical part of helping the country recover.

“The progression needs to be open outdoor sports first, golf, tennis, swimming so that we can start to test the waters — that I’m fine with,” said billionaire Mark Cuban, who owns the NBA’s Dallas Mavericks.

One obstacle may be local politicians. When UFC floated plans to host an event this weekend on tribal land in California without spectators, it was pressure from politicians, including Governor Gavin Newsom, that led to its cancellation. Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti has reportedly discussed the possibility of prohibiting large gatherings like concerts and sporting events in the city for another year.

The Movies

That said, there’s billions on the line for sports leagues, sponsors and media networks if the games don’t resume soon. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s leading infectious-disease expert, has said that that the only way to do that this summer is to close venues to fans and keep all the players, coaches and referees isolated from society.

Cinema owners are also waiting to see when health officials give them clearance to open up. Cinemark Holdings Inc., the third-largest U.S. movie chain, has been in discussions with major film studios about when to release blockbusters again. The chain’s management thinks they could begin bringing back staff starting in late June, then build up a marketing campaign for a broader re-opening on July 1.

The experience won’t be like it was before coronavirus hit. The chain will either have to limit the available tickets for each showing, leaving about half its seats open. Or it may eliminate reserved seating, so customers can voluntarily spread themselves out when they arrive. Cleaning will have to be ramped up, and opening hours may be limited to accommodate the changes.

“How long that will take? We’re not completely certain,” said Mark Zoradi, Cinemark’s CEO, on a call with analysts and investors on Wednesday. “But we’re planning on anywhere from one to three months to light up that engine again and then to begin with higher profile, new product.”

The Casino

Las Vegas casino executives have discussed opening with as little as one-third of their rooms available, with limited entrances where guests’ temperatures could be checked. Casino employees would wear masks and gloves, and gamblers would sit at least a chair apart at blackjack tables.

The moves are similar to what is already occurring in Macau, the world’s largest gambling market, where casinos closed for 15 days in February and reopened under tight restrictions.

The companies are also discussing enhanced cleaning techniques, something unions have requested.

Fun Parks

The $19.3 billion U.S. theme park industry is also making plans, though no one knows when gates will reopen.

When they do, employees may be wearing masks and temperatures may be checked not only at the entrances but inside as well, said Dennis Speigel, a theme park consultant in Cincinnati. Operators may also institute virtual queues, where guests snag a place in line through an app and come to ride when it’s their turn.

“The theme park of the future is going to have to take a much different turn, from distancing to wanding to cleaning,” Speigel said. “I’ve never heard the fear in the voices that I’ve heard. Nobody knows what they’re going to be doing.”

Review of BTS’ Save Me

BTS's Save Me is one of the tracks on their compilation album "The Most Beautiful Moment In Life: Young Forever", which combines The Most Beautiful Moment In Life Parts 1 and 2 into one album, while also adding a few more songs to the track list and overall story. It also serves as a bit of in interlude between two different stories, one in the HYYH albums and the other in the Wings albums. Just because it is not a title track, however, does not mean it is not an incredibly beautiful song with a strong message.

Save Me is meant to be almost a love song to BTS's fans, or A.R.M.Ys. The music video simply features the seven members dancing in an open field on a windy day, so that listeners may truly grasp the meaning of the song without being distracted by flashy visuals or a convoluted storyline as is often the case with BTS.

It starts off with a short musical intro: the sound of a ticking clock overlaid onto an EDM background that sounds both happy and a little bittersweet. After a few moments we go into the first verse with vocalist Jimin singing about being trapped inside himself and not wanting to be lonely in his characteristically strong voice. Almost immediately we switch over to main vocalist Jungkook with the question, "why is it so dark when you're not here?" and asking the listener to save him so he can get a grip on himself. From here, the other two vocalists take over and bring us into the pre-chorus, which refers to the listener as a bright light that is shining into the darkness they are trapped in. Overall, the first verse conveys the darker side of this track and introduces the problem to which their fans seem to be the solution.

The chorus is definitely one of the highlights of this track, featuring the voices of all four vocalists. No voice is more overpowering than the other, and while the chorus itself is rather quiet, it still manages to convey the power behind the message they are trying to send. In addition, they almost give you time to absorb what they are saying by including a short musical interlude to help us gather our thoughts.

Directly following the first chorus we get a rap verse from main rapper and producer Yoongi. Yoongi has a very recognizable voice that, while usually quiet, gets incredibly powerful when he is both speaking and especially rapping about something he cares about. He really puts all his emotions into these six lines, desperately asking the listener to save him and help him remember who he truly is. This leads directly into another brief rap verse from main dancer Hoseok, who stresses that he knows the listener will be his salvation and the best part of his life. He asks us to "please raise [our] voice, so [he] can laugh again", implying that when the members of BTS are having a tough time, their fans' support can help them to feel better once again.

The part that captured fans' hearts the most comes at the very end of the song. This short rap verse belongs to the leader of the group and main rapper, Namjoon. In his final nine lines, he thanks the fans for helping him fly and "giving [him] wings", along with waking him from a suffocating dream and straightening him out. He tells the listeners that the sun comes out when he looks at them. Fans were initially unsure about the status of this song, whether it was supposed to be directed towards them or not: however, the final line truly proved to many that BTS used this song to communicate with fans. Namjoon's final line is "thank you for being part of us", indicating the way that the A.R.M.Ys have been supporting BTS and have been an intergral part of their journey. After this final declaration, another chorus seems to start: however, it is merely the first two lines of the chorus. In the music video, Jimin and Jungkook sing the final lines before all the members sink to their knees in the middle of the field. Their final message has been sent, no need to prolong the ending.

I would rate this song an 8.9/10. I absolutely adore this song and everyone's vocals are very strong, with the raps being well written and very passionate. The fact that BTS chose to use their music to communicate how much they appreciate the support and love they get from their fans is incredibly heartwarming: it shows that they truly care.\
