Welcome back to K-ALL! In this exclusive interview, host Angel sits down with legendary Grammy-winning producer, mixer, and engineer Ken Lewis. 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." Inside The Episode: 𖦹 The "Interlude: Shadow" Emergency: Ken reveals how a literal fire forced him to evacuate his penthouse and mix SUGA's hit track in a makeshift kitchen studio overlooking the ocean in Ecuador. 𖦹 RM's Historic Visit: The incredible 24 hours when RM went straight from addressing the United Nations General Assembly to cutting vocals and mixing the Mono EP at Ken’s house. 𖦹 The "MAMA" Crisis: Discover why j-hope's Wings solo was a nightmarish challenge for Ken to mix. 𖦹 The Ultimate Hidden Track: Why Ken names the ultra-rare, deeply emotional track "Ocean" ("Sea") as his absolute favorite BTS mix of all time.
