“It’s been 3 years since the mixtape called Hope World was released,” the BTS rapper shared in Korean on their group blog. “When I listen to it again, I think [it’s] embarrassing.”

J-Hope said the song was titled “Blue Side” because the color gave him comfort. “I couldn’t go back,” he said, “but at least once … I needed a blue haven that comforted me and [cooled] me down.”

On Thursday, BTS was named the Global Recording Artist of the Year by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) for being the top-selling artist in 2020. – RC, GMA News
