    Pop perfection. Boy with Luv is an amazing title track that doesn't get old even after hundreds of listens. Other highlights on the album for me are Mikrokosmos, Home and Dionysus.

    The album is really cool. I really love the Dionysus song style. Even if it’s just an ep, I felt like it’s better than some other singers full album tho

    This is the first K-POP album I am reviewing. I loved the song called 'Boy with Luv'. It is a great collaboration with Halsey. Other songs in the album are good as well.

    with actually only 7 songs, there no skips except maybe make it right but it's enjoyable. Loved the versatility that the seven boys show with rap/hip-hop, pop and pop/rock.
    Favorites: Home, Jamais Vu and Dionysus

    Uma obra prima! O conceito caí muito bem com a sonoridade das canções..., honestamente, tudo no álbum é merecedor de uma nota máxima.

    São as próprias canções que deve garantir o sucesso mundial do álbum. Durante todo o mini-álbum são referências ao passado BTS' e reflexões sobre o seu crescimento como artistas e indivíduos. "

    The EP moves easily through different spheres of young love, young fame and young ambition, all of it audible through coruscating backgrounds and intense vocal deliveries that channel the high-running tensions of technicolor teenage drama.

    A valiant and partly successful attempt from K-pop’s biggest band to move forward in their music. While they undeniably remain a success, the recycled sonics and multiple references to past music makes it hard for old listeners to let go of past glory and for the new to connect with their current music.

    Map of the Soul: Persona is a bold, if tempered, call to Western media.
