Bangtan Universe, The Beginning – What is BU all about?

Let’s take a look at the different pieces of this huge puzzle that BTS Universe is. Together with Courtney, we will walk through the contents in the MVs, the Notes, the Smeraldo Blog and the Save Me webtoon. We will also check other parts of BTS Universe that are different in terms of storytelling and Angela will share with us her particularly moving view of Spring Day among other ideas. We will finish this session with an open discussion about how the different BU stories are weaved into the MVs.

Os Movimentos de Cena nos Videoclipes de K-Pop – K-Frame de Boy With Luv

Neste painel quero apresentar a minha pesquisa do Trabalho Final de Graduação, onde mapeei frame by frame os movimentos de câmera de 4 m/v’s, sendo um deles o de Boy With Luv, tendo como objetivo entender quais eram os movimentos de câmera mais utilizados nos m/v’s de K-Pop e a sua relação com os movimentos da coreografia dos grupos. Além disso, tenho como meta apresentar o processo que desenvolvi para analisar os m/v’s frame by frame.

How fanbases can improve the ARMY macro system

I intend to talk about how the fanbases are able to influence ARMY. In times like protests, BTS birthday projects, stream parties, etc., our fandom gathers together and is part of something bigger. The ARMY must be interested in learning it because, right now, we are phisically separated, but the fanbases keep the fandom together and still fighting.

  • My name is Alicia Lana, I’m from Fortaleza, a Brazilian city. I’m graduating in Psychology, aiming to study how BTS and ther lyrics can influence us. I focus on the therapeutic effects of their music, ARMY social behavior, and how both have the power to identify and fight against opression. I’m also part of the B-Armys Acadêmicas project. I run my own fanbase, where we have the purpose to bring attention or even BTS to our state, Ceará.

I Am ARMY: exploring the ARMY identity through autoethnographies

I Am ARMY is an anthology of autoethnographic essays written by members of the BTS ARMY from all around the world. The book is the end result of a process to locate, document, value, and celebrate the diverse experiences of ARMY. In this panel, editors and writers will come to talk about their experiences as ARMY and how they used sociological and psychological lenses to explore their narratives on the page. Facilitated by the director of book publishing company Revolutionaries, Wallea Eaglehawk, each step of the process will be examined from the perspective of writer and editor and distilled as key learnings such as “how to write about BTS,” “how to work with ARMY,” and “how to write about the ARMY (personal) experience as political.” This panel will show how everyone can use their personal narrative to uplift and inspire others, creating and adding to knowledge which can help inform the study of cultural phenomenon like BTS for many years to come.
