While we wait impatiently for that Spring Day coming in 2026, let's take a look back at each BTS album, starting from the very beginning! Welcome to our weekly BTS Album Rewind!
SKOOL LUV AFFAIR
BTS released [Skool Luv Affair] on February 12, 2014. 'Boy In Luv' (Doegopa neoui oppa 🫨) was the main track, with 'Just One Day' acting as a pre-release single. The Special Addition version was released May 13, 2014, and included two new songs and six instrumentals. BigHit said this about the third album:
With their previous two albums, 2 COOL 4 SKOOL and O!RUL8,2?, BTS sang about the dreams and happiness of teens. The songs spoke about young people living without a dream and schools that force rigid and homogenous thought onto its students. The new album, released on February 12, continues to focus on school and teens. As hinted by the title, SKOOL LUV AFFAIR, the album’s main theme is the love that blossoms in the school. This album is a culmination of the “School Trilogy” project that discusses the topics of most interest to teens their own age—dreams, happiness and love. Such penetrating insight into the hearts and minds of young people led to the absolute support that BTS has received from fans their age. The members again directly participated in the making of the songs, vowing to ensure that the songs reflect the reality of the music fans of their own generation. (source)
