Around this time maybe a few months before Idol came out people started calling them westernized because of how big they were getting in America, talking about how they were losing their native essence or some dumb bs. So they came out with Idol and made it as Korean as possible, and not only just Korean but as you can see there is also some African culture in there as well, including in the choreo.

It's always funny to me when people call kpop artist westernized like that's a big insult. A lot of their music are influenced by the west, even the training system started from the west before they branches out. A lot of these groups takes the training system literally from American boy bands.

You’re right about BTS intentionally making this MV… a lot 😂😂 Around this time, bc they were starting to become REALLY popular in America, BTS started getting accused of being white washed or westernized. So what did they do when making the MV for a song abt loving themselves? They made the MV sooo stereotypically “kpop” and soooo Korean to really show their haters that it doesn’t matter what you say abt us we’re going to do whatever we like (and stay true to ourselves and our roots in the process) bc we love ourselves.

I would suggest watching the explanation video by DKDKTV either on the channel or in your own time. It explains the significant symbolism in this video. Every part of this MV has meaning. Almost all of it is Korean cultural references. DKDKTV is a good way to get insight into the video. Korean cultural references The bunny in the moon The dancing The the ribbons and the dancing animals The head All of it has meaning.

Idol mv is not only wild & so colorful but it's a celebration song of self-love. if you watch the MMA 2018 performance you will see. A lot of the elements they threw in were related to celebrations and/or festivals such as the full moon with rabbit is often seen in Chinese mid-Autumn festival drawings, the silk hanbok coats they wore which Korean usually wear them in big NY/weddings/important events, the tranditional lion dances which again for festivals/celebrations, the colourful strings/decor all such a party vibe.

Adding to what a lot of people have already said...Haters also started to complain about them using “too much green screen and CGI”, so, of course BTS decided to give them a huge middle finger and made the video as bright, loud, obviously CGI and obnoxious as possible. The song is basically them telling the world they can say whatever they want, they’re uniquely them and their hateful babble is inconsequential to their global success.

No, the MV is completely the opposite of what you are saying.

the love yourself albums of bts: 1. love yourself her - about the rainbows and butterflies and idealized version of love (intro song - serendipity / title track - dna) 2. love yourself tear - the dark side of love (intro song - singularity / title track - fake love) 3. love yourself answer - the answer of how love can be real (intro song - epiphany / title track - idol) in a nutshell, this song is a celebration of "self." it's a self-acceptance song and celebratory of that. the lyrics, well, speak for itself. the music video holds so many symbols, there's an explanation video for it. the music production and choreo is a fusion of african beats and korean traditional music -- to address that bts is GLOBAL (not betraying their roots but also very international -- for everyone). 💜

There are a few others that I can't remember. But yeah, aside from being a general call-out song, this video includes commentary on very specific instances that happened within the fandom towards BTS.

Obviously this MV was made that way on purpose, because of the haters and showing a little bit about Korean culture and others. it's good for you to research a little more about BTS, because practically all of their MVs have something important to share with us. There are several theories about this MV, one is that, for example, this t-shirt of Tae (V) that he is wearing, it was because of an interview they had with a guy and this guy was wearing this type of t-shirt and he apologized for it because he felt ashamed. V then used it to show that there is nothing wrong with using what we want, bcs we are free, as a form of criticism, that is, V felt sorry for the young man. And there are also other important things about this MV. Who is a real ARMY, knows the essence of the members of BTS and knows that they always have something good to add to us.
