Paroles de la chanson SKIT : Expectation! par
[Rap Monster] Do you think we can reach #1?
[Suga] Well, not getting caught up in being #1 or whatever, I really like the album itself. The album is good. I like the song.
[Rap Monster] I can’t be satisfied by the album now. We have to get #1.
[Jin] Yeah.
[J-Hope] Hey, but don’t have expectations.
[Rap Monster] No, but I, end up having expectations.
[V] Me, me too.
[Jimin] As for me, I don’t know what to think. Sungdeuk-ssaem told us before about how we started, and stuff. I don’t know if I should really be hopeful or not. I don’t know what to think.
[V] Honestly...

[V] Honestly...
[J-Hope] I’m not expecting anything.
[V] To be honest, just because you say ‘Don’t expect anything’, doesn’t mean we expect nothing.
[Jin] Yeah, me too. I just start being hopeful.
[Suga] Hey, out of the stuff I heard, wait, I’m saying the same thing as before. Really, I’m scared that we expect something and... get nothing.
[J-Hope] Actually, the funny thing is that the songs that I didn’t expect anything from got big… To be honest, I wasn’t expecting much from "No More Dream". Really.
[Suga] Wait, no, you–
[Rap Monster] Just don’t expect anything.
[Suga] No, you said you got a feel for "No More Dream".
[V] You did say that in the beginning.
[J-Hope] Well, it’s impossible for me not to get a feel. I kind of feel for it’ll do well or not do well…
[V] To be honest, just because you say ‘Don’t expect anything’, doesn’t mean we expect nothing.
[Jin] Yeah, me too. I just start being hopeful.
[Suga] Hey, out of the stuff I heard, wait, I’m saying the same thing as before. Really, I’m scared that we expect something and... get nothing.

[J-Hope] Well, it’s impossible for me not to get a feel. I kind of feel for it’ll do well or not do well…
[Rap Monster] What?
[J-Hope] I did say stuff like that, but I didn’t expect anything big. Even "N.O."
[V] Ah, "N.O."
[Rap Monster] You had big expectations for "N.O.", huh?
[J-Hope] Because we had that image at first and it kind of–
[Rap Monster] Had a good response.
[J-Hope] Yeah, it got a good image, so I was hopeful.
[V] So you had big expectations.
[J-Hope] But it kind of–
[V] It totally–
[J-Hope] I didn’t expect anything for "Boy In Luv".
[V] It totally failed.
[J-Hope] But I had a lot of expectations for "Danger".
[J-Hope] I did say stuff like that, but I didn’t expect anything big. Even "N.O."
[V] Ah, "N.O."
[Rap Monster] You had big expectations for "N.O.", huh?

[Jin] Hey, so do you have high expectations for this song?
[J-Hope] Ah, I said I had none.
[Jin] Ah, great! Good, good, good!
[Rap Monster] You’re BTS’ Pelé, huh? Hey, just think that we’re totally gonna fail.
[Jin] Yeah. Just totally.
[J-Hope] Our odd-numbered releases do well.
[Jungkook] Ah, but can underage people also file for tax deductions?
[V] What are you talking about?
[Suga and Rap Monster] What are you talking about? Why are you suddenly saying that? Why? Why do you want to know?
[Jungkook] Ah, the outro.
[V] Hey, I wrote the chorus!
[Rap Monster] Are you saying because you wrote "Outro", you’re gonna get some profit?
[J-Hope] Ah, I said I had none.

[Jin] You 19-year-old. You’re already…
[Rap Monster] You’re saying you’re gonna start getting the copyright fees, huh?
[Jungkook] I’m not gonna get allowances from my parents anymore.
[Jin] Ah, this kid…
[Rap Monster] Why are you going to file for tax deductions?
[Jungkook] Ah, honestly, it doesn’t really matter…
[Suga] You can only file for tax deductions when you make some money… (Mumbles something about they don’t have to worry about it because they don’t make any)
[Jungkook] To be honest, I was talking to my dad on the phone and he brought tax deductions up..
[Jin] You 19-year-old. You’re already…

Que racontent les paroles de la chanson SKIT : Expectation! de BTS ?
Sept voix dans une pièce
Imagine une pièce quelque part à Séoul, probablement un studio, probablement tard. Sept garçons parlent en même temps, se coupent la parole, se contredisent. Aucune musique. Juste leurs voix, et une question qui flotte dans l'air sans que personne ne veuille vraiment y répondre : est-ce qu'on va réussir ?
C'est dans cet espace suspendu entre la peur et l'envie que se déroule ce skit, l'un des plus touchants que BTS ait jamais enregistrés. On y entend des artistes au seuil de quelque chose d'important — un album, une chanson, peut-être un tournant — qui essaient de gérer l'espoir comme on gère une flamme par grand vent : en le couvrant des deux mains pour ne pas qu'il s'éteigne, mais sans trop y croire non plus.
Quand l'honnêteté dépasse la retenue
Rap Monster lâche d'emblée ce que tout le monde pense tout bas : "I can't be satisfied by the album now. We have to get #1." C'est brutal, presque gênant, et c'est exactement pour ça que ça résonne. Autour de lui, les autres jouent à se raisonner — "Don't have expectations", répète J-Hope comme un mantra — avant que V ne fasse voler en éclats cette sagesse de façade : dire qu'on n'espère rien ne fait pas disparaître l'espoir. On rit un peu, jaune, parce que c'est vrai.
J-Hope dresse alors un étrange palmarès de ses intuitions passées, entre titres qui ont marché et d'autres qui ont "totally failed", selon les mots de V. Il y a quelque chose de presque rituel dans cette tentative de lire l'avenir dans les entrailles du passé. Suga, lui, reste le plus terre à terre, celui qui rappelle doucement que l'ambition a un prix émotionnel.
Et puis il y a Jungkook. Au milieu de toute cette tension, le plus jeune du groupe demande, l'air de rien, si les mineurs peuvent faire des déclarations fiscales — parce qu'il a écrit l'outro et que son père lui en a parlé au téléphone. Le groupe explose de rire, les voix se chevauchent, et pendant quelques secondes on oublie complètement le classement, les attentes, la pression. Il reste juste sept amis dans une pièce, jeunes et un peu perdus, qui essaient de grandir en même temps qu'ils font de la musique.
