LOVE YOURSELF 轉 ‘Tear’, Part 2
Part 2 covers the second half of LOVE YOURSELF 轉 ‘Tear’ (2018), where the album stops confessing and starts answering back. Magic Shop opens a door inside the listener's heart, Anpanman and So What tell you to keep going even while you're scared, and Outro: Tear closes the record with a breakup delivered as a three-verse rap. The vocabulary here is heavy on everyday conversation — to open, to worry, to fall down, just, still, anyway, really — plus the comfort words fans quote back to BTS.
