    This album is so close to my heart, Boy with luv can make my day better every time i listen to it, it has that melody that makes you heart smile, Make it Right is a warm hug from the people i love the most, Mikrokosmos makes you feel like you can touch the stars as if they were floating around you, and dyonisous....i have no words to discribe this song it's just a masterpiece....

    Persona was the first mini-album I heard from BTS and it caught my attention in a considerable way. I'm not a fan of pop music per se, but Persona's songwriting is amazing. My favorite song on the album is Jamais Vu, the meaning is great, if you can give it a chance.

    Este álbum no tiene ninguna canción mala aunque la mires detrás de los ojos de los haters de las opiniones de 0. Make it right, jamais vu, mikrokosmos, persona... Todas las canciones son de las mejores que bts ha logrado producir y eso solo demuestra lo mucho que van mejorando y aprendiendo a lo largo de su carrera artística.

    An album that has instilled the concepts of jung psychology, it is an album that encourages us to know who we are and the search for our identity, well produced. An album that made history for BTS since with its title track they were able to enter the top 10 of the billboard HOT 100 for the first time.

    An incredible album! Excellent lyrics, lyrism, melodies, vocals. There is not a single bad thing in this album. There are so many things to talk about this incredible piece, but it would take so much time to point them all out. Fantastic.

    Al menos deberian haber tenido mas creatividad tomando en cuenta la manada de escritores y productores que juntaron para este album, mas predecible, aburrido y sin chiste no pudo ser.

    Extremely impressive and cohesive mini album, opening with what may be BTS leader RM’s best solo track that is credited to BTS “Persona”, and backed up by the contagiously joyful “Boy With Luv,” melancholic and touching “Jamais Vous,” the flawless vocal execution and touching lyrics of “Mikrokosmos” and the high energy headbanger “Dionysus.”

    Ok I tried to listen to this album, but it’s not my vibe. I tried to listen to it again and the same happened. really good lyrics but with a messy production and arrangements

    This EP by the well-known Korean boyband makes me believe they were stuck in a creative rut.

    Just right. Everything is so good. The range BTS serves is just awesome. From the Hiphop rap 'intro:persona' to rock styme Dionysus this a serve. You just need to open your mind.

    The EP moves easily through different spheres of young love, young fame and young ambition, all of it audible through coruscating backgrounds and intense vocal deliveries that channel the high-running tensions of technicolor teenage drama.

    A valiant and partly successful attempt from K-pop’s biggest band to move forward in their music. While they undeniably remain a success, the recycled sonics and multiple references to past music makes it hard for old listeners to let go of past glory and for the new to connect with their current music.

    Map of the Soul: Persona is a bold, if tempered, call to Western media.
