J Hope on making of Dis-ease
In an interview with Weverse magazine in November 2020, J Hope talked about the making of 'Dis-ease' after the release of BE Delux Edition. He revealed the idea behind this song came from his own sickness as they were forced to rest during the heightened phase of the pandemic when their world tour got postponed. Dis-ease is one of the most critically praised tracks from BE. The song is called Dis-ease with the hyphen because it alludes more towards uneasiness rather than sickness. The Korean title '병 (pronounced byeong)' means bottle or disease.
