BTS ARMYs should really take time to get to know Epik High. I mean, the title Map of the Soul was clearly inspired by Epik High’s debut album, Map of the Human Soul. The interconnected songs, unconventional themes, and album series concept were obvious nods to Epik High. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😎" title="Smiling face with sunglasses" aria-label="Emoji: Smiling face with sunglasses">

Bangtan boys grew up listening to Epik High. They even referenced EH in their earlier songs. I feel it’s a good peek at how BTS developed their music style when they were younger. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👍🏼" title="Thumbs up (medium light skin tone)" aria-label="Emoji: Thumbs up (medium light skin tone)">

I rediscovered Epik High on my playlist and I was reminded of how they influenced BTS as artists. New albums/songs tying back to previous releases, everything all tied up, trying out new things. The level of artistry in song writing and conceptualization is just up there. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👌🏼" title="Ok hand (medium light skin tone)" aria-label="Emoji: Ok hand (medium light skin tone)">

Ok, ending this thread. I just love it when artists inspire the next wave of artists. Look at them now, Suga is practically besties with Tablo and the rest of Epik High. Legends. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👑" title="Crown" aria-label="Emoji: Crown">
