BTS' RM x Pharrell Interview (Uncut: 52 Minutes)

The Spotify podcast version of this chat has been edited differently and has more to it, if you are interested in listening to the whole conversation. RM talks a bit more about burnout and Pharrell gives his perspective.

RM is the man! Thanks for this reaction / analysis!

lol I am still no feeling the RM's shoes but I do like RM and a big fan of Pharrell (of N.E.RD particulary) so glad to see interaction and I enjoyed your reaction to it :)

Perfect analysis and you're a true fan, the "RM you're so cute" at the end sent me 😭 I really have nothing more to add to that. It really is so exciting getting to see them do their individual things though!

I loved this interview between the two. RM totally seemed nervous, but i think he handled it well. It was surreal for Rm to have one of his idols pay close attention to his words, I’d be so flustered too!

Oh wow! I just saw your post noticw in my inbox and haven't watched this yet. Just wanted to thank you for posting a reaction to this interview. I had wished you would when I saw it yesterday and so grateful you did. Really awesome Max! Thank you.

I also think that besides to speaking the language „correctly“ he is super aware that his words have a lot of weight on how the fans see bts and what they represent.. so he has to be super carefull in his truth or better what he wants to share from his truth.. i think on some point he wanted to say that he is TIRED but he stoped himself .. he knows negatives in relation to bts/the image of bts can worry fans.. ah i love rm..

Namjoon absolutely needed to have this conversation with someone like Pharrel who has that same mindset and thought process I think this was fascinating for RM. RM writes for others and puts himself in their shoes as he says like an avatar, similarly with what Pharrel was saying but admits he struggles to express his own pain and find it can often be too complex. Wow,. Amazing insight. I completely understand the amount of pressure all these years to not only write for the group songs, the subunits, individual songs for the vocal line, represent the group on a ever growing scale where no group have gone before AND THEN try and find the time to write for himself. Doing that for 10 years must have taken a lot of mental strength and i'm glad he now has a break to find himself and voice again.

I’m in awe of these two. I’m a fan 💜❤️ I’ve watched this on repeat and there is always something I missed and want to digest more on their thoughts. It’s so fascinating and authentic

There are 2 more versions of this conversation as I don’t see this as an interview. It felt more like a conversation. So all 3 versions are a little bit different and give more context in whole. You’ve watched the video and then there is a podcast & article. You should listen/read both of them on your time as I think it would shed a little bit more light on this video.
