This PD48 cover of BTS' The Truth Untold is infinitely better than the original. The girls' performance is raw and powerful and it shines because of its rough edges and ambition. By comparison the original is an overproduced autotuned mess.

I know it's an idol elimination show and it's hammed up, but when Miyu's part hits at 1:49 it never fails to make me misty eyed.

I know I can (probably) get away with the BTS disrespect here since I don't think there are many fans on hexbear, but on the other hand I've outed myself as a lapsed kpop fan, so that's its own price to pay.
