Reception

{{Quote box

|quote = "The first taste of BTS' 'Map Of The Soul: Persona' was an incredibly sweet one – a vibrant burst of bubblegum pop with an added Halsey twist. Its Korean title translated to 'A Poem For Small Things' and the lyrics celebrated "the things you're interested in, the way you walk or talk, and every little trivial habit of yours" over melodies that would make even the most mundane of days seem like a dream."
