It could be a reference to "Whailen 52", you know that they're lonely whales searching for something, and perhaps Jin's whale is supposed to represent the "home" (in lack of better words) which he has found in ARMY and their music, and that ARMY has found in Bangtan?

It’s crazy how many hidden and double meanings they had in this MV.

[@annaeseolightwing4310]

Very eloquently said @BTS Enthusiast! I second your thanks to David. This is a wonderfully educational video that opened my eyes on so many levels. I love that there are 2 parts to the analysis, when the first part was already so full of revelations about the lyrics. The revelation that hit me the hardest came in the second part, near the end of the video: at 9:50, David said, "...the sun also represents the fact that BTS is so global that their fandoms are everywhere around the world which makes them a cultural superpower empire where the sun never sets." This is so true, and BTS's superpower to connect and mobilize so many hearts on 6 of the 7 continents is testament to their global appeal. I'm in awe of them.

[@treasuregdeal9276]

BTS Enthusiast It’s exciting for Chinese too becoz many of the theories/beliefs are similar to the Chinese. Egs the rabbit in the moon, lion/ hairy beast dance is to scare off bad luck.. etc.. Nevertheless I appreciate dkdktv for their explanation becoz they do it so well 💜

thank you for the explanation and translations! when i see those word plays I automatically assume it's RM, especially the "talking" to "tokki" and the pause at the "i don't ... care" to "idol" which sounds very much like what he would do.

[@Nessainthebuilding]

I instantly thought the same thing. RM LOVES word play. It's a huge part of his solo song too "Trivia: Love" and so many other songs. Namjoon is a lyrical genius as far as I'm concerned

[@villainoir]

KORE THEORY. Jin created the Kore character to accompany the whale in Whalien 52, so that he won't be the loneliest creature in the world. The song was written by RM and it seems like a very personal story. In Run BTS 85, Jin gave a Kore present to RM and said that it's very meaningful. I guess it's like saying, "You're not alone anymore. I'm here with you."

Not only cute personas, but deep lyrics with smart and calculated package for every MV. And the quality is top notch. I like Suga though. Such an ancient soul trapped in young man's body.

[@LinhTran-hq6sm]

I agree with you! People who simply say "BTS is overrated" haven't seen what they are capable of, and everything they have done. They jump on the hate bandwagoon just because BTS has become big (not big enough in my opinion. If a western artist had 1/2 of their talent, he/she would already been blown out of proportions), but if more people were like you; looked into their discography and their message, then they would understand. Thank you for saying such nice words about them, and I agree with your liking towards Suga

[@gyratree5246]

@@LinhTran-hq6sm yup. Admittedly, at first i thought they just another boyband. I don't even like k-pop per se. Too loud, too cheesy and meaningless. I'd prefer one republic, imagine dragons or muse. Their lyrics carry so much depth about personal struggles or social concerns. Then there's BTS. With their self-love campaign, and lots of meaningful lyrics and concept. I guess I'm a fan now.

[@LinhTran-hq6sm]

@@gyratree5246 I am glad you chose to widen your horizon and wasn't fixated on the idea that KPOP is only too loud, cheesy and meaningless (I was once myself like that, but like you; I still checked them out and got a positive experience)!

Kore was a reference to Whalen 52, he gave RM a Kore key chain and a picture I believe to Rm on one of his birthdays. Rm who wrote the lyrics of Whalen 52 was also talking about his feelings of loneliness as leader. Jin was letting him know he will always be by his side.

[@zainabmiah6115]

Easily the most thorough and intellectual analysis I've seen of idol. I'm impressed

[@sm0rses]

If I may add just one macro point to your in depth and “micro-linguistic/cultural” analysis: I think the very fact that they entitled the track ‘Idol’, that is one of the most impressive statements for BTS to proclaim! The entire history of how the term idol haunted them with respect to their identity and the questionable authenticity of their artistic foundation makes this statement the most fitting conclusion to the love yourself series. During their early days, the term idol, and others like rapper and hip hop, had been a big point of contention, hate and displeasure from several groups of people. They had just started out but people were already attacking their identity and foundation, but they were still young, still figuring things out, yet they were backed into a corner to provide answers to rather complex musings. But now, with the conclusion to this journey of loving yourself, they have decided to reclaim the very label that had left them dispirited, and then redefine it as a grand anthem for self-love! And I think that’s very impressive on two levels. One, of course, to all who had doubted and hurt them, BTS turned the haters’ shots at them into confetti basically. It made them more determined, stronger to the point that they’ve gained so much success that they deserve to celebrate it. And secondly, for BTS themselves, as people, it is really a heartwarming sight to see them being at peace with themselves, regardless of what label they’re technically attached to, and not letting others define for them what they can or cannot be, because they have learned that whatever sides they have, they’re all them, and they can appreciate and embrace it all, really loving themselves for who they are

Toki(sounds similar to talkin) means a rabbit in Korean and (wild)rabbits are regarded as an Animal that is really good at running away from enemies/dangers/ threat. Like saying "He escaped from the enemy/threat like a rabbit." I think that "talking" in the song has double meaning too. "bla bla bla" and "I am as fast as a rabbit. You never gonna catch me(you can't stop me)."

[@angieyeah1793]

[@Doskharaas]

Also, Korean slang 'Tokki-da(톡끼다)" the verb, means to runaway, to sneak out away, to disappear, to escape cunningly. It may be helpful to imagine bugs bunny :-)

Actually I think the rabbit is more famous for the folktale tokijeon as a really smart character. The sea god learned that rabbit liver was good for his health so he sent the turtle to invite rabbit to his palace, and when the rsbbit learned that they wanted his liver, he tricked them by saying he left his liver back on land, and needed to get it. When he was taken ashore he ran and said suckers! to the turtle.

[@5sweekcakes]

Mariana Bezerra Melo the word “idol” in Korea doesn’t actually mean idol in English where people look up to. In Korea “idol” means group of boys or girls singing dancing performers who are manufactured by their companies and do what the companies tell them to do. Thanks to BTS, culture seems to be changing and many of them start to show their own talent by writing their own music but not as much as BTS. Many young people look up to idols but some singers or rappers get annoyed by the huge fandom of idol groups. Single person singers’ songs have very little chance of hitting the top because of these huge idol fandoms streaming. So with jealousy and annoyance, they say things that make people looked down on idols. BTS is highly respected now but they went through a lot.

Because the korean general public think they are manufactureted dolls that doesnt have a voice in their music work, they think idols are just there to attrack fans for their visuals and could not care less about their music since most of them dont even write their own music in conclusion koreans think they are like puppets easily manipulated for their companies who are more busy sailing visuals than sailing music also korean general public said most idols music lack of something they call Hann that is a korean word hard to explain for a non korean like me so i will try HANN is like a mix of sentiments like a mix of nostalgia sad but hopfull feelings something like that idk that are caracteristic of the original korean music and made people relate to songs and the sentiments the korean singer try to make fans experience by just listening to the songs and beautiful lyrics that are in a sense more poetic that the ones used in idols music you can search more about that on the internet or try to ask that to a korean person who can tell you the meaning of that word more accurately than me , plus they think idols music is just a ripp off of western music since most of the kpop companies that create idol groups buy rejected demos of western producers demos that are being already rejected for western artist so the western producer give them to those kpop companies and the producers of the company copy the beats and sounds and just put the korean lyrics on them this last thing i said is actually a fact there is a documentary that explain how the korean companies buy tracks and demos made by western producers and have being already rejected for american and westen artists/singers that is why koreans look down upon kpop idols they dont think like them like singers or artist but most like enterteiners for teenagers and youngest generations in korea older generation rarely listen to kpop they rather listen to other less know korean singers and less popular genres and they also rather listen to american or western singers anything but idols music tbh that is the hard true that is why i get shook everytime i see BTS Naver articules being discussed liked and comment mostly by older people/ fans of the group that are like 30+ because it is rare that kpop boy group is getting so much attention and support from older korean people and that is happening with BTS these days ever since Billboard news on korean news more older people in korea found out about bts and are joining the fandom older womans are joining the fandom in korea and we have 30 40 or even 50 year old korean womans admiting they like BTS and ther music and how they regret dont finding them sooner aince they doesnt listend or cared about idols music before beacause of the prejudice and stigma that kpop music and idols have in korea it is embarrasing to admit you like kpop or idols music :(

[@marianabezerramelo6433]

Okay, but still groups like Girls Generation, BigBang, and Even artists like Aillee and Seo Taiji are highly respected, at least that's what I know... Well, as I said I'm interested in the cultural aspects, I'm Brazilian and we see our artists differently, but we don't have companies making artists like Korea. I didn't understand yet is the double standards, if I can call that way, EXO for exemple, the were invited to make a presentation, CL too for the Olimpic Games, but yet the general public have preconceptions about these same artists that they "export".

[@erucchi]

Girls generation are just popular so idk about them being highly respected (for the music) outside of being respected as long running artists. Beside than that, seo taiji, bigbang & ailee are not considered generic kpop (ailee or IU isn't even considered kpop) so that's that

[@marianabezerramelo6433]

erucchi I've seen some articles talking about the artistic talents each girl has individually to create the success of Girls Generation, but yes, since I'm not Korean I don't really know if it's not because they're a 11 y/o group. And the rest of the mentioned artists are presented as K-pop, like you said but not a generic kind, that's the point I want to know more... I hope a Korean seeing this comment can explain it.

[@_zeph]

honestly, ‘idol’ may not have been their best title track but still one of their creative ones by far. the reason behind that? the lyricism and the mv’s symbolism. quite a lot of people give the song shit w the mv as one of the main reasons. i do hope that as time passes, people would realize that the trashy mv was on purpose. i mean, isn’t that one of the reasons behind our admiration for the boys? their capability to input amazing messages in the most fascinating and open way as possible. thus, explains my adoration for the mv’s production.

[@raneetdhillon4219]

I only agree with a few of ur words. and the MV is not trashy, plz dont say that. yes its ur opinion but still thats rude (my opinion)

[@_zeph]

Crystane Agustin i did not personally imply that it was trashy. however, if we were to view it outside a biased perspectives, it would appear to be less aesthetically produced than their older mvs. but as i’ve stated, that’s the irony of it bc so many ppl assume that asian music videos are limited to THAT specific style. again, why i find this one of their creative mvs thus far.

[@_zeph]

r d pls refer back to my response towards another comment who misinterpreted my statement. also, just a tip, you can’t point out someone’s opinion yet indicate that it’s “wrong,” simply bc you disagree with it. now THAT’S rude. that’s the value of an opinion after all; people are allowed to have different perspectives, and to agree or not. please clarify where i was “rude” in my prime post. otherwise, please don’t accuse me of acting as such in that.

[@emmaschlenert8854]

Jin's drawing with the caption KORE could be a reference to their song whalien 52 which is about the 52 hertz whale, whos call cant be heard by other whales. Basically, the whale is unloved because no other whales of its species exist to hear its call. Kind of fits with the theme of "if nobody loves you then love yourself"

[@dracuulaura]

Emma Schlenert I thought the same thing! When I saw the whale, I instantly thought of Whalien 52. It’s a sad story, but it does seem to fit with the whole ‘love yourself’ concept. Even during lonely times, you should have self acceptance and love for yourself 🐋💜

[@user-es7ui5mc1m]

That's what I thought but then again, this song is more about blocking out haters/doing whatever they want and succeeding and Whalien 52 is more of a sad song so I'm not quite sure

[@gnesoidomarsonped5018]

Yes..i thought d same too..

[@emanas2530]

That was my first thought on seeing the MV, too! Like he may be a lonely whale, underwater, surrounded by the bright Nemo cast, but he has his voice, he'll cast it forth, and he may take the long route, --- but whatever he does, he is himself, he loves himself.

[@bencanuck]

Yeah, I also think of Whalien 52. But at the same time, this is Jin. It probably has more than one meaning. They could all be true and intended. Jin is an expert at finding one symbol that unites multiple aspects of his experience but never stating them all explicitly (the best known is probably RJ: when the others made fun of the name, he defended it out loud in one way; but the deeper, personal meaning that he never says explicitly is that RJ is literally his stage name 진 lying down, whereas the Jin persona is standing up and not timid any more... he does this multiple-meanings stuff all the time if you pay attention).

[@MissSushi123]

I also want to add my own analysis of the shark part of the MV that I found after watching the entire MV for the first time. /english essay incoming/ The shot of them dancing in the room behind a shark (8:09 in this video), you mentioned that they are unaffected from whatever is around them (e.g. the shark), and they continue dancing. The entire shot is really interesting because there's an artist called Damien Hirst and he has an artwork called 'The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living', and basically it's a shark in a tank filled with a chemical called formaldehyde to prevent deterioration of the shark's body. Although in the real artwork its the shark that is placed in the tank, to be viewed in a gallery. This time it's BTS that's placed in the tank under water (basically they are swapped). What's interesting is that Hirst's artwork presents the shark in a public space so people will watch it, critique it, say something about it etc. In BTS's case, its the opposite. The shark's outside looking at BTS that are inside the tank. The shark in this instance could mean the representation of the audience that they are describing in this song; hating them, mindlessly critiquing, saying something before knowing them etc. Shark's are known for their predator status in the food chain, and can symbolise 'eating up' - in my opinion- one's emotions. BTS in this instance stands in the shark's position, in the tank. Here, they appear as though they are being displayed, which they are in real life. Everyone knows about them, they are becoming more popular, and in turn are more likely to be targets of criticism and hatred, etc. Even though this hatred, intimidation and judgement from people seem to tear them down, its the formaldehyde (IMO symbolising their immediate surrounding and overwhelming support from family, friends and fans) that keeps them together to stand the test of time. I hope this doesn't seem too confusing hahahhahahah, but that was my first thought when I saw that scene and I had to make a small analysis from it, cause they have to show that whole scene for a reason. Edit: I also forgot to mention the part where they say 'enjoying what haters say'. Hirst's artwork had HEAPPSS of controversy because of placing an inanimate animal in a gallery (wasn't suitable for gallery settings etc). Of course, even if the shark was alive, it'd have no idea what the visitors would say about it because noise coming from the tank would purely be white noise, and I think it reflects how BTS receives things from these types of 'visitors'.

[@Moonriverstar]

You guys are doing a great Job, it’s being hard to focus on that with all the streaming parties and YT drama so somethings kinda pass by, like the Shooky part and I never thought about the sun part, these explanations segments were definitely a good idea, especially necessary once you are an ARMY or simple have a RM Suga Hobi type of guy in the music production team, there are so many words tricks and things to connect, it was a great Job David, we really appreciate and Purple U for the amazing job.

you know i went to the airport (LAX) to see them last time they came and i was honestly so disgusted with the whole thing. i tried to give them as much space as possible and stayed back but if i hadn't moved with the crowd that was closing in on them i would've gotten TRAMPLED. the scariest thing to me wasn't even that, it was the fact that afterwards, no one i talked to seemed to think there was anything wrong with it? so many people had this mindset of "oh, but bts would be so much sadder if no one showed up to the airport" as justification. i mean yes that would make them sad if fans knew and no one showed up, but with their level of fame AND at LAX that would never happen. on the other hand, if people showed up AND were respectful, that would make them happier. that scene with tae in idol was clearly calling out airport behavior and getting mobbed in general, also yoongi has said in burn the stage that people invading his space is not good for him. in conclusion bangtan don't owe us anything, no one forced us to be their fans, but we as people owe other people basic human respect. stream idol on paid platforms: spotify/apple music/tidal!!!

[@SkyFudgey]

🐥 Something I only thought of now, is that the genre of South African music they drew inspiration from (Gqom) is almost like a never ending beat. For me personally, when you listen to Gqom it feels like the beat is never going to stop or end as it stays constant. It might disappear in the songs but it comes back just like how it was before it faded. Combining that with them saying “You can’t stop me loving myself” can also possibly mean that you’ll never be able to stop them loving themselves because it’s a never ending sentiment. The “OHOHOHOH” and “좋다” parts sound a lot like the chanting/exclamations you hear a lot in South African music genres like Kwaito, Gqom etc. **Unrelated to this but if you want a taste of what Kwaito is like, then do yourself a favor and go listen to "Mandoza - Nkalakatha"; No matter where you are in South Africa, if you start playing this everyone and their grandma will start jamming
