Like many ARMYS already know, western media's interviews when it comes to BTS tend to be either insipid or extremely superficial.
So I was shocked when I watched these two sit-down conversations.
FTR, Zane Lowe is someone that rubs me wrong way. Everything abt his persona reads as trying too hard to be a Cool Dude (TM) and his voice sounds v. swarmy to me. So, only the Tannies would get me to watch this 43-min video.
I will admit that he allowed the guys to answer questions and attempted to give everyone at least two questions. Despite the casual vibes, the interview itself turned out a bit more formal than not (in terms of structure), but I did enjoyed the guys' candidness.
This next one was kind of a multimedia thing in that there was this group interview as well as ones with RM, Jin, SUGA, Hobi, Jimin, V, and Jungkook.
Gotta give props to Brian Hiatt, the journalist, for establishing a good rhythm that allowed BTS to be friendly and goofy.
