LOVE YOURSELF 承 'HER'
Love Yourself: 起承轉結 is an ongoing project by BTS that will last through the rest of 2017 to 2018. 承 or 승, which translates as “development” marks the first installment of the project. BTS member Suga explained the title in a press release:
This album is “Development.” We thought that development is the step you are most immersed in when you fall in love. The overall concept of the album has many songs that express the moment you fall in love and are immersed, so we express it as “development.” I think there will be quite a lot more of our albums to be released from now on. If you follow that order [the order of 起承轉結] I think there will be a moment where you realize why 承 is coming out now. We decided on “development” for this album with the meaning of being immersed.
The album was initially teased during their Billboard Music Award 2017 acceptance speech before being officially announced on June 20, 2017. Group leader, Rap Monster, explained the title as a phrase he tended to ponder a lot: what it meant to “Love myself, love yourself.”
Before the album release on September 18th 2017, BTS dispatched a series of highlight reels and teasers.
The album consists of eleven songs including two hidden tracks and a collaboration with Andrew Taggart of The Chainsmokers.
