Agreed, and the whole k pop thing was deliberately awkward too. I think they just don’t buy in to all the nonsense at award shows etc.

I think that's the best thing because unless you happened to have seen the film and remember it really well you'd have no clue so like 99% of the audience there probably had no idea . They thrive on awkwardness lol I wish I could find the clip (I think it was only on Instagram) but one of my favourite recent awkward humour moments was in one of the red carpet interviews last year when the interviewer asked Billie if he had any advice for someone looking for love and he immediately started singing his song from when he was 5 years old "Look For Love" and then told people to google the song lmao

Oh!!! Thanks for clarifying! I did not get the reference at all. That's hilarious though

It's from the film Boogie Nights when Mark Wahlberg's character accepts an award for being a pornstar

I think they have likely had some media training, no record label would have let them get this far without it. Whether they pay a lot of attention to it, that’s different. I think they are just themselves and relish the weird interviews. Imagine how odd it would be if they suddenly became super slick spewing sound bites….yeuch!

Is there a source for them not having media training? I’m seeing it here in this thread a few times and to me, especially since the AI tour, a lot of their interviews have come off very media trained in terms of messaging. They’re always their usual goofy selves, and having media training doesn’t necessarily mean “fake”, but if they’re at an event to promote something they’re gonna do it AFAIK. I’d be shocked if this ended up being true, especially after the interviews the Saviors tour has brought in

but then how else would they juice the sales numbers for Saviors???

I like some songs but could have been a standalone ep release
