'Teach You a Lesson' is ready for its Netflix debut after years of controversy

Derrick Milano approached BTS as 'a student' — and ended up shaping 'Arirang'

When Derrick Milano first walked into a Los Angeles studio to work with BTS, he did not even know which songs he would be touching.

Instead, the Grammy-winning songwriter behind tracks for Beyonce, Nicki Minaj and Megan Thee Stallion approached the sessions as "a student." That mindset eventually led Milano to become one of the most heavily involved contributors on BTS' latest studio al
