With 116 gold and platinum records, 80 Billboard Hot 100 #1s, and over 50 billion streams, Ken is the sonic mastermind behind some of your absolute favorite tracks.

    Ken dives deep into his 12+ year history working with BTS (Bangtan Sonyeondan), from mixing their groundbreaking first studio album Dark & Wild to collaborating on massive solo projects with RM, SUGA/Agust D, and j-hope.
    Discover the untold stories behind the music, including RM’s studio visit the day after his historic United Nations speech, the chaotic environment where "Interlude: Shadow" was mixed, and how working with J. Cole on Born Sinner paved the way for BTS's "Born Singer."

  • Writing with RM: A.Chic Breaks Down BTS’s ARIRANG (NORMAL, SWIM, Like Animals)

    Discover what it's like to write with RM on BTS's Comeback Album: 'ARIRANG'

    Welcome back to K-ALL! In this episode, host Angel sits down with the brilliant A.Chic, a Billboard Hot 100 chart-topping visionary and one of Spotify’s "Songwriters to Watch for 2026." From shaping tracks for Jennie to co-writing the soundtrack of the year, A.Chic’s pen is changing the global music landscape.
    But her biggest assignment yet came when she was handpicked as "the chosen one" to collaborate directly with RM (Kim Namjoon) for BTS's highly anticipated return. After an initial high-pressure studio session where A.Chic jokingly thought RM hated her, she received a 3:30 AM phone call that changed everything: RM didn't just want to keep working with her—he wanted her to clear her schedule to help him anchor the emotional heart of ARIRANG.
    Moving their sessions to an open-air house in Santa Monica, a profound trust was born. RM found a rare, safe creative sanctuary in A.Chic, allowing him to pull back the curtain on the intense pressure of the group's legacy, their time away, and his fear of losing their deep connection with ARMY. Moving past the ego, they stepped into "sister mode" and "compassion mode," locking arms to co-write a flawless five-track run: "SWIM," "NORMAL," "Like Animals," "Body to Body," and "Hooligan."

  • Derrick Milano on Writing BTS 'ARIRANG' & CORTIS Hits! | "SWIM," "Hooligan" & "REDRED"

    Grammy-winning songwriter and producer Derrick Milano joins host Angel on K-ALL to reveal how a secret Los Angeles studio session with BLACKPINK's Jennie and Lisa unexpectedly paved the way for him to co-write six massive hits on BTS's monumental return album, ARIRANG.

    In this exclusive deep dive, Derrick takes us completely behind the scenes of his work with both powerhouse groups. He breaks down the precise moment Big Hit's A&R team heard his work for Jennie and asked the ultimate question: "Do you have anything for BTS?" Derrick pulls back the curtain on the creative process behind the Billboard Hot 100 #1 hit "Swim," the hard-hitting anthem "Hooligan," and the out-of-this-world track "Aliens." He shares what it’s really like to be in the studio with RM, j-hope, Jung Kook, and legendary producer Pdogg.

  • How BTS "ARIRANG" Was Made: NITTI on Producing "One More Night" "Into The Sun & "FYA"

    From Bad Bunny to Bangtan Sonyeondan (BTS), Ricky (NITTI MUSIC) is redefining what it means to be a global producer. Fresh off the success of BTS’s ARIRANG, Ricky sits down with Angel to discuss the three Billboard Hot 100-charting tracks that changed everything.

    This episode explores the eclectic production of “FYA,” the soul-searching “One More Night,” and the cinematic finale “Into The Sun.” But the story behind the interview is just as remarkable: a K-ALL Reel about BTS’s connection to gospel music bridged the gap between Angel and Ricky, leading to a profound conversation on faith, creativity, and the “insane” talent of the BTS members. Dive into stories of Flume’s experimental stems, V’s natural “band-mate” energy, and the hidden “vocals” Jimin left behind in an unreleased ARIRANG track. We also discuss the emotional impact of seeing 50,000 fans in Mexico City sing BTS’s tracks a cappella and how Ricky’s personal faith journey became the foundation for his success.
