Love Yourself 結 'Answer' (stylized as LOVE YOURSELF 結 'Answer') is the third Korean-language{{efn-ua| Love Yourself: Answer is BTS' Repackage album of Love Yourself: Tear . The album was released on August 24, 2018 by Big Hit Entertainment and is available in 4 different versions: S, E, L, and F. The album contains twenty-five tracks (twenty-six for digital version), including seven new songs, with the track "Idol" serving as the lead single. Most tracks are from Love Yourself: Her, and Love Yourself: Tear, including some remixes.

Background and release

Answer was first announced on July 16, 2018,[1] with the announcement of the album containing seven new tracks coming the following day.[5] The album was designed as the finale of the Love Yourself series, which connected the story plot of short film Love Yourself 起 Wonder, EP Love Yourself 承 'Her', and studio album Love Yourself 轉 'Tear',[1] forming the "起承轉結 (Kishōtenketsu)" storytelling composition.[6]

Two versions of BTS' Jin in the "Epiphany" comeback trailer, representing a personal journey.[7]

On August 6, Big Hit Entertainment released a Most Beautiful Moment in Life note, part of a series of fictional notes pertaining to the concept of BTS' albums, starting with their 2015 EP The Most Beautiful Moment in Life, Part 1. The note, written by BTS member Jin, spoke about him finding a notebook written by his father in the story. The book discussed the father's failures.[8] Three days later, on August 9, the trailer for the album, featuring a new song entitled "Epiphany", was released. The solo, described as a "building pop-rock melody", was performed by Jin, and speaks about finding self-love. The song serves as one of the tracks for the album.[9] The trailer was directed by Yong-seok Choi (Lumpens),[10] and portrays multiple versions of Jin in a room, telling the story of a personal journey.[11] Philip Merrill of the Recording Academy described the video as having a "sense of going backward and forward, through time and through different versions of one's self".[7] Discussing Jin's performance of the video, Hong Hye-min of The Korea Times stated that it was as well-acted and emotional, with Jin's "sorrowful, free voice stand[ing] out".[12]

Promotional concept photos presenting four different themes were released on August 13 for the "S" and "E" versions,[13] and August 16 for the "L" and "F" versions.[14] Version "S" contained elements inspired by New Romanticism, with BTS in bright red boxes surrounded by cameras, eyes, hands, and amplifiers. Concept version "E" contained bright pastels, with BTS members in bubbles filled with fantastical nature elements.[15] The second set of teasers, versions "L" and "F", were brighter, with BTS members wearing a mix of retro streetwear and formal blazers and suits. In addition, version "L" contained black-and-white images, collaged with the contrasting bright photographs.[16] The official tracklist was released on August 20, revealing that it would be a Repackage album containing songs from Love Yourself: Her and Love Yourself: Tear, with a total of twenty-five tracks.[17] The tracklist also announced remixed version of BTS' previous singles "DNA", "Mic Drop" and "Fake Love".[18] On August 22, 2018, the teaser for "Idol" was released.[19] On August 24, two hours before the release of Love Yourself: Answer, Big Hit Entertainment announced that an alternative version of "Idol" featuring Nicki Minaj will be included in the digital version of the album.[20] Afterwards, the album was released, along with the music video for "Idol".[21]

Promotion

On August 26, 2018, BTS held a press conference discussing the album, as well as the BTS World Tour: Love Yourself, which began the previous day.[22] They will be performing "Idol", "I'm Fine", and "Answer: Love Myself" on various South Korean music shows for the week of August 26, including M Countdown, Music Bank, Show! Music Core, and Inkigayo.[23]

Love Yourself: Answer received positive reviews from critics. Nemo Kim from South China Morning Post gave the album four stars out of five and said, "[BTS] rappers show[s] their chops on solo tracks, band send[s] a message to Korean youth about self-love, and single Idol sees them don traditional garb and blend pop with ancient percussion as Minaj joins in," praising this album "cements BTS’ place as kings of the genre".[24] Tamar Herman of Billboard praised the album, calling it a "masterful culmination of years of work and rife with meaning, Answer is undeniably a magnum opus from BTS that that few other artists, boy bands or otherwise, ever can hope to achieve."[2]

Commercial performance

During the period of July 18 to 24, the first six days of the pre-order period for Love Yourself: Answer, IRIVER reported that the album had sold more than 1.51 million copies domestically, surpassing its predecessor Love Yourself: Tear as the most pre-ordered album in South Korea.[25]
