do kpop concepts even make sense a bts video essay  

26:11 Nah but the amount of times we joke about something or make an edit that turned out to later be real is crazy, there is also the inside fandome joke about how bighit copies army sometimes😂

I think it's a reflection of the audience 75% of fans are superficial. This is where you make most money.

Oh that BP part was so nasty 😭😭 and till this day those girlies don’t write their own stuff. I’m glad I stan a group that actually enjoys music and are passionate about it. 😌💜

Like she said, some Kpop concept are really cool to watch, once. I even may dance on it. But that's it. Very few songs have a replay value for me. So BTS only. I always expect the unexpected with them. Just for fun, a concept that I would enjoy: A workplace concept by Yoongi. "Useless meeting", "A boss spelled Dick", "Coffee machine", "Fucking printer"...

What you have to realize is that I believe the first kpop group Zach Sang had interviewed was BTS. So asking them those questions wouldn't have been a hardship for them to answer. Even with the three rappers being the majority writers for the songs, the others also knew what the ideas were behind the work because they were part of the decisions and conversations. So I don't think he had any idea that those ladies write almost nothing, for the group or themselves. 20:50 No, he won't lose many kpop groups. Many don't want to talk about writing and production. I can think of a few groups who wouldn't have an issue with him asking those questions but there are many more who would. So him not asking those type of questions anymore will make him a bigger target for kpop to want him to interview them. ARMY hates vapid questions that BTS gets but some other groups don't mind.

16:04 That’s ON, the official MV. It uses a lot of biblical/religious references.

Jurn you’re kind of adorable

My favourite K-pop concept (only because they're still put in the bracket) is BTS. Let the Tannies rain supreme with their artistic freedom.

28:05 and thats the thing, imagine training for year and you dont even know what kind of group this will be, or get eliminated or cut from the debute not because you arent talented enough or dont work hard enough, but you dont fit in the type of group they want to debute or they type of music they want to make and you just dont fit the vibe.

16:12 that song is called "On" theres 2 mv's for it, "on official mv" is the one with the story with Tae lying like a cross & Namjoon with the giraffes, the other one is "on kinetic manifesto come prima" which is a performance video. 💜 Edited again to delete an incorrect statement! (thx ARMY!)

I saw video called most popular kpop concepts and there was "hip-hop" and "rock" as a concept examples. I mean whole fucking music genres are just a concept for them cause they use electro guitar in music video as a decoration. They consider wearing some baggy clothes is hiphop. Idk. I love listening music. And ı grew up with meaningful, well written and produced songs. I mean at the and of the day ım listenin music with my ear. Their visuals are not important for me.

I'm dying at this thumbnail!! It looks like you went to JHope's birthday party and hated e very moment of it 🤣🤣🤣

27:25 im kinda shocked that Jurnalist didnt comment on how RM was cosplaying at artist Tae

19:31 it’s PAINFUL to watch 😭

Ayyyyee, Bibi!!! I think the reason I like her music so much is because she also approaches her work as a cohesive body of work, and you can pick up on the themes and messages throughout the album. Her videos just strengthen that message even more and give it more impact visually.

17:12 about weird concepts: the camp returns. Y2K already exiting, camp style is in

My favourite kpop concept is one that I hardly see these days, it's the teen crush concept but by boygroups (early Astro and Seventeen)

bora never misses (except for that one Am I Wrong choreo unpopular opinion lol)

7:03 i just found out rn🧍🏿‍♀️ She is what?!?!? 15:57 ppl in the comments already explained the theme for ON, so i won't add more info, but omg ur question is hilarious😭😭 17:22 Bibi is a queen 💯 26:26 so true😭

4:05. 4:27 7:00 18:54 24:24

4:00 😂😊😊

KPop in general is so superficial. It's turn-your-brain-off music. Pure fluff. (And BTS is obviously not that.) It has it's place, of course. Sometimes you do need a break from seriousness and weight and need to just turn your brain off for a bit. But that's not something any intelligent person can have all the time and not get bored. And it's not anything people are going to take seriously. There has been a stigma associated with being an idol in South Korea since idols first became a thing. They're not considered artists. Mostly, they weren't even seriously considered as talented until relatively recently because a few brave and outstanding idols branched out and proved themselves in other areas of entertainment. That stigma very much has to do with the superficiality that so dominates the industry with sadly too few exceptions.

Jurnalist, because we have been following kpopl for years with this girl crush concept, I can tell you, we are soooooooooo tired of it, or at least the way certain groups carry it like dead ass lazy Paris Hilton personas. This is why New Jeans was a hit when they came out. This is why many other girl groups were rising that were doing different concepts than the girl crush concept.

💜💜💜💜

K-pop was the same and repetitive but at least the songs were good but nowadays? The music is trash and it’s even more boring.

And ref the interview with bp…..THAT..right there…is pure empty industry. And why Army detests kpop, and cringe when kpop jumped on BTS coat tail and said they represent all of kpop. It’s a bait and switch…pure bait and switch…(except for hwasa/mamamoo)💜

Are they doing Jesus Christ and the ark…well..loosely they WERE crucified….and they did leave Korea on a wave to a new land and with the dove they flew..and on the mountain they kept going up and up…….

The BTS biblical/religious mv is for ON. Many references, not just to the Ark. Deep. 😘💜🫰🏻🫶🏻
