A Look at Bangtan Remixed

Afternoona Army: Thinky and Thirsty BTS Takes

We welcome special guests, Mimi Nguyen and Yutian Wong, who were editors for Bangtan Remixed: A Critical BTS Reader published recently by Duke University Press. "Bangtan Remixed" offers a multifaceted exploration of BTS. This collection brings together diverse voices—from academics and journalists to artists and devoted fans—to examine the group's far-reaching cultural impact. Through a series of essays, contributors dissect BTS's place in the broader context of global capitalism, soft power, and transnational cultural exchange.
