‘Done is Better Than Perfect’

Episode 5 goes behind the scenes of the first half of the European leg of the tour, and as we are all probably very much aware, a lot happened. This episode showing us how they overcame it all. Cordiality. The act of sincere affection and kindness. In this episode it was not missed out. 

Starting off with BTS in London, Jimin tells us that he knows that it is not easy to support and encourage someone so he wants to try harder and Jungkook talks about how he is aware that as they grow, fans may feel distanced from them but he acknowledges that there are many ways to stay close and is happy that they have been able to help fans through their lives - both members showing us the affection towards ARMY.

The episode then takes a turn as we are shown what happens before and after Jungkook is injured. In this moment we see how all the members turn up one by one after hearing of the news to make sure that Jungkook is okay. All of them knowing that he would be blaming himself for what has happened. Despite the last minute incident, the members all team up and work together to make their performance just as good. Through this we see the kindness and affection that the members have towards Jungkook and to each other during this difficult time. 

But the incidents don’t just stop there, after finishing the London concerts successfully, Jimin ends up having muscles pains again and therefore missing the filming on the Graham Norton Show. In Amsterdam, the members make sure that Jimin is okay and that he isn’t blaming himself; along with their choreographer talking to all of them to take care of themselves, as well as each other. They get told to set their own physical limits and to not overwork themselves, as it's important they realise that ARMY would rather see all of them healthy on stage, rather than a member missing due to injury or burn out. The members all agree as they decide to focus not on how well the performances are executed, but on ensuring they not hurt themselves. Through all of this we can see clearly the care and consideration they have for each other and themselves as well.

Most importantly though, we see and hear about how they feel around each other. We see their relationships around one another and how close they are to each other as well as all having the same goal - an important point we can take from this episode is that their main concern is NOT to get as big as possible or fly higher, because they have had the to chance to if they wished, but to be happy with and around each other and to continue to love and feel happy on stage because simply put, they are performers but also family.

“Instead of dreaming again for something bigger, I want to laugh and be happy”
