I personally think the hero of “MIC Drop” is J-Hope. People who live like that will live like that. No more business with you, don’t apologize and let’s not see each other anymore. I wrote the bridge part, and it was truly what I wanted to say. I guess it’s because it wasn’t how you felt.” However, the rap that J-Hope wrote and it’s vibe was what we really wanted to talk about. Producer Bang heard it and said, “You better do it this way, because this rap is okay. You know, the rap part in the song, “Yeah, 누가 내 수저 더럽대 / I don’t care, 마이크 잡음 금수저 여럿 패” (“Yeah, who says my spoon is dirty? / I don’t care, when I grab the mic, I have several gold spoons”). It all started with the rap lyrics that J-Hope wrote. That was why I couldn’t write good lyrics when writing “MIC Drop” at first. You’ve said good things about me and led me to a better direction. It’s all because of you (T/N: Rm is referring to ARMYs, BTS' fandom). Now, I can accept such criticism – to a certain point – and I don’t get mad. I had a lot of weak points, and it wasn’t easy to fix my mistakes. Because of my stage name I wore sunglasses and had my hair done to try and look fierce and aggressive. You can’t be strong if you threat others, but I did. Even to me, I think my face, look or eyes are different from me when I did “No More Dream”.

It felt like me when I did “No More Dream”. When we decided to write about that topic for “MIC Drop”, I brought up all my anger and frustration pent up inside, but it wasn’t cool at all. Life is too short to appreciate those things, but when people are rude and threaten others, I just… You can think of “MIC Drop” in that case. However, as for those who criticize or mock us, I feel sorry for them, because there are so many good things out there in the world. That’s why we always have to be open to constructive criticism. If you believe you’re always right, you become dogmatic. I think I have to listen to criticism more carefully, because no one in the world is perfect. “When people criticize you guys without a reason and make fun of you, what should I do? I feel so angry,” our fans told us such things a lot. Based on the letters from our fans I read, or what they told us. In an Vlive by RM, one of the members of BTS, he said:Īs for “MIC Drop”, it was really well put in our comeback show.
