I love the diamond analogy. A detail I love if this is the Afro beat, the Afro dance moves they use, and those suits were designed by a South African designer so it’s also traditional Korean outfits and imagery. Just love the culture blending and the live stages are stunning.

Hey Tony, yes some of this is pretty self-explanatory, but there is so much more to this song. Dkdktv has an explained video and so does Xceleste (I think that's how you spell her name). But this video has more layers to the haters. I know you like to know the meanings of their songs to have a better appreciation for it. So I hope you check out one or both of these videos. 💜

Exactly

My personal thoughts about the hanboks (traditional Korean clothing) they’re wearing, as well as all the Korean cultural references in this video, like the rabbit in the moon, and the dancing monsters that are supposed to chase away evil spirits at korean festivals. I think it’s their way of saying that they are going to stay true to their Korean roots because that’s who they are and where they came from. They don’t need to sell out and become just like every other western artist out there.

Here's a short description: Anapaman is a carton superhero from a Japanese children's book series. Anapaman translates out in English to "Bean Bun Boy". When he comes across people who are hungry he lets them eat from his head. He symbolize Justice, honor, integrity, and Safety. BTS also has a song called "Anapaman", which I recommend checking out.

They had some amazing live band with horns arrangements going on the whole show and Idol was over the top. Black Swan too. Wardrobe too. 💜🐺

Toney I think you could rock one of the colorful suits, why not? They performed a remix of this for their online concert this weekend, it was awesome but V had to sit out the choreo because of an injury. They'll be livestreaming their December 2nd concert from SoFi Stadium in LA, it will be awesome to finally have BTS concerts with a live audience.

For example V uses glasses that someone told him that it doesnt look good on him, RM does a couple of face filters (a "fan" told him in one of his lives that he should not use face filters), JK using auto tune, Jimin with the fan (I could be wrong but usually the fan dance is done by women), lots of CGI... the explanatory video by a korean is worthy to check it out 😊

I don't think anyone besides BTS can have tens of millions of views for a dance practice.

Idol is one of the songs I always love seeing concert footage of. It's soooooo good. That's the song that solidified that I have to see them live at least once in my life and I really hope they perform idol. I think this is cool because in SK we have come to know that idols aren't seen as actual "artists" so in a sense idol is used in a sadly negative way. It's music that they say is only for kids. Which sort of makes sense considering the content of a good chunk of the lyrics of idol music before (now there are more groups, BTS for example who are known, as you've pointed out, for great lyrics or at least more thought is put into the content rather than just something to go with the beat).so this is a song to the people who used the term to look down. Great song 👌

I know you've watched many bts videos, I don't know if you watched videos to know them more, like their personnality. There's many videos (essentielly funny) on youtube (or Run bts or BTS in the soop). There's also videos on how did they become BTS (on youtube). But if you want a brief view of their personnality, there's a song create by an army on youtube called So I created a song out of BTS meme by paw paw... something like that haha.. Also there is so much BTS music without mv .. one of my favorite is the truth untold, Filter (Jimin), arirang, attack on bagtan, young forever, jump, Otsukare song (Suga and Jhope - Sope), even if I died it's you (v and jin), Autumn Outside The Post Office (Jin ), Blue and Grey (you can watch the OT7 version or the english version of v which was just a teaser but so good), still with you (jungkook)... yes there is so much more but I treid to give you some good songs that is less popular..
