\n\tAt several points in the video, the conversation turns to how the band\u2019s music and perspectives have shifted since their early years, with the members acknowledging that their current material reflects a more mature stage of their careers.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe clip also touches on BTS\u2019 long relationship with their global fanbase, ARMY, with the members reacting to questions about favourite fan moments and the culture that has grown around the group\u2019s music over the past decade. <\/p>\n
