hi to all guys from Thelord
today we are with Sara
Hi
and we'll talk about k-pop
obviously for it's a new thing
she will talk to us, explaining this kind
after watching the BTS - IDOL video
I'm curious to see your reaction
finished
Yes
Did you like this video?
then
Behhhh yes
if I can say something immediately
for me it's nothing new
even if it's k-pop
as far as music is concerned
it is a genre that in the West
you know, maybe they have a different way of doing it
how kind is pop
it is not very different from ours it is more particular yes , and they do it well
one thing I noticed
they always have schematic things in the video
palaces and arches
they have a fairly important meaning
this video, then let's see later better
certainly not that they make videos with things that do not make sense
we will see it later in the video description
I'll start asking you a question right away
because I do not know k-pop
so what is this genre?
then, as we said a moment ago
basic is pop
it's called k-pop because it comes from Korea
k stands for korean pop
and in pop that comes from South Korea obviously
not that of the north
and very influenced
Pop , R&B...how could you hear
Rap ,hip-pop west
yes yes I had noticed it
as you could see they are very young artists
so it's obvious
that must be inspired by something already existing
listened to already seen
that we already know
even k-pop has had
it had its origins,really many years ago
it started years 20 and 30
Oh yes
and still pop a popular genre
so heard by the people of the people
the most common one
the k-pop from us has arrived
lately
from the moment PSY came out
Gangnam style
but I do not see it like them
it is not very similar but is inserted
in that genre
however, this is also beautiful, that many other cultures know each other
I think that Western uses has been increasingly heard
respect the oriental one
yes but it is certainly a language problem
maybe you listen to a Korean song and sing it in their language is more difficult than doing it in English
but there are those who do it
I do it
yes yes but there are those who learn to mail that language to sing them, I've also seen it done by fans with other groups
in our market, western
he arrived around 2012
when, in fact PSY
Gangnam style,he made this unexpected success
but because we Westerners like us more
the trash,so have seen this
Eastern, chubby,that makes a catchy song
PSY has arrived from us
With gangnam style,which is one of his ugliest songs
because in Korea it fills stadiums with very normal pop songs
as could be those of michael jackson,but in Korean of course
but here came the most
western
musically yes, maybe more fun
that surely could have more market
we sing them a little, it is only rhythm that song
then the video is funny, it's funny
however, he loved it
and from here slowly the doors opened
even listening to this new genre
different from the language not so much for the genre
in the end, as we said at the beginning, it is pop
there are simply different influences
it's a pop of another country
this song in particular to many influences regarding Korean traditions
but if you hear other BTS songs
or high k-pop groups also female
or the SHINEEs
there are various references to Michael Jackson
they were inspired a little by everyone because they were young
already existing
they have not created anything new
this is obvious
also because the music
at some point it ends
in the sense, yes there are new things ideas
but always to something already done you must report
yes, let's say it's the styles that diversify
everyone has his own
and that the only innovative thing that is created in the visa genres and from one artist to another
you create new styles that
maybe pair 2 or 3 different styles
and a new genre is created
different
which however always starts from one, noww
what do you want to ask me ?
Tell me about this video, in particular about the BTS
so I'm a bit 'expert but
However
unfortunately on this video there is so much to say
forgive me, but I had to write a few things
because there are so many things to say
so even if I look like a schoolgirl
but I had to write them
rather
I can take advantage of your video to thank my friend Angela
that gave me some tips
on how to explain the video
she also has a Facebook page called
italian army (link below in description)
an Italian Facebook page dedicated to BTS
we thank Angela
ah only on them
and he also did a video some time ago
on explaining another
their video called "spring day"
there are also many things to tell them
let's go to the explanation of this video
then we saw "idol"
that their title track of the album "love yourself: answer"
it's practically
as the title itself says represents a point of arrival
which started from their debut
and that through continuous and constant references to authors, philosophers and psychologists
brought them up to this point
and that's why the record is called "answer"
because it is the answer to their questions
now let's see what the questions are
then the text of "idol" was written
directly from all 7 BTS members
and it is very much about their identity
as a person and as an artist
call me idol, call me artist I do not care
you can not make me stop loving myself
there are hundreds of me inside me, yet it's still me
precisely the video is very much about identity
in fact they are artists
that through their music they are
trying to export their culture to the world
this is because, this video
it's not just a nice colorful, cool video
and the boys are dancing
I colored it is right
this video contains many elements
I'm reading excuse me if he did not look at the camera
it 'does not matter
contains many elements of Korean culture
let's start immediately from their clothes
while they do a piece of choreography
we see that they wear typical Korean clothes called hanboks
as a background there are traditional paintings
everywhere there is Korean mythology
there is the tiger that represents the chorea
which is also found on soccer team shirts
and that precisely represent the chorea
then there is the legend of the lunar rabbit
which represents immortality, giraffes
which represent reaching and exceeding expectations
that have others towards you
in the video there is also the typical Korean architecture
that there are structures
the Gyeonghoeru Pavilion
which is the structure of the Korean royal palace
and it was the reserved part
for entertainments it's shows
the choreography make it inside this courtyard
there are also various types of Korean dance
and various elements are included in the exclamations that make up the text
some sentences come
from the epic pansori song
a kind of Korean musical narration
which has been declared a UNESCO heritage
and there are many references
music
in the sense that the music that you feel at the bottom
especially with regard to percussion they are part of a traditional Korean rhythm
even the music itself
there are typical wind instruments that were composed with the Gugak
which is quartet of traditional Korean instruments
this video is really full of symbolism
there is the ship, the globe now oriented on Korea, now on America
there is the plane because
there are Korean elements mixed with foreign ones
and it can be meant to expand
their culture
also to the rest of the world
There are also
of clothing with African prints
some choreographies that resemble those of Bollywood dance
I have noticed at some point the assonance of Indian culture
there are also pieces of African dance
there is a bit of everything in this video
always quite popular things
yes, because they have to go
to touch elements
known
easy elements, another message
that I want to give in this video
and that there is a critical part of this industry that they have
in the east that is the culture of idols
that's also in Japan
idols are often treated as puppets
idol is often associated, in fact idol, precisely the doll or doll
as if they are considered below the artists
true, how to say ah that cute but nothing more
in reality it is absolutely not like that
because as regards the BTS
they have the freedom to sing
argument that they decide on them
only the choreography comes
studied
for that you need a choreographer
unless you know dance from birth
regarding music and lyrics
they make the composition
exact exact
and a very good thing, because for idols and a difficult thing that happens
yes, it does not usually happen often
being a type of industry that is created
the Korean record industry
and Eastern in general is very different from the western one
we have 4 friends that
united by music they start playing and go
more or less and the same speech I did in the last video for the babymetal
while the Korean industry creates groups
which are actually talented
also taken individually
and not as a group
fortunately, this thing is there
because if you hear them live they are good
even if they are created
the good thing about the BTS agency
which is the BIG HIT having only as their band
can concentrate
totally on them
and the boys have the freedom to express
what they want to tell them
of various things and various topics
without restrictions
because most of the groups especially formed by males
they always tend to talk about
love, girlfriend, kisses etc.
while they are beautiful
of texts
deep
to go back to talking about the video
the choreography
being the closing of a trilogy of albums
in this video in particular
if you then want to see the other videos
of the BTS
the choreography makes references to other pieces of their own
some old albums
not only musical but also image
I read it is too long to remember
for example the Snow White shirt
wearing Suga is a reference to "Go Go"
which deals in an ironic way in which young people manage the constant lack of money to build a future
the design of the whale in the background
refers to the song "Whalien 52" which deals with the themes of solitude
and depression
using the image of the unique specimen
whale called 52 hertz, which can not communicate with his peers
because it does not have the same field frequency
the final choreography of "idol"
refers to the song "fire"
which incites young people to free themselves from time to time by excessive social pressure and accepting defeats too
so as you can see it is not
they are not arguments for kids
no no are videos and songs built and studied to give a precise and ... very strong message
they are also serious messages
we are not just talking about
usual things and adolescent topics
yes, maybe the records and songs
they were a bit 'lighter but because they were very young and had just come out
when they saw that they had followed
and that they could decide what to write to them
they started writing something more serious
a little deeper
also to find new stimuli for the texts
yes, but also for not being
just a band for girls
because being young it is obvious that this is so
obvious that their audience is made up of boys and girls even here in Italy
he is getting to know a little more
the audience is very young because they are nice, good and beautiful
they know how to dance they can sing
usually the first public is always that
yes, but we did not like them when we were kids
we liked the Backstreet Boys
and I'm 33 and I still like Backstreet Boys
oh well, the Back and me the Spice Girl's
the video we say is presented this way
then if you are curious
go to YouTube and you will see many videos that explain
deeper .... and if you like them you buy
right, do as you buy online
because they are not found here
ah are not they? -Very little
now Feltrinelli is starting to put them
Mondadori something. - Oh well but you can find it online
the whole album and not just the single tracks
the album is a bit ', otherwise the alternative is online
there are a lot of sites
Yes, but now this world is opening up to us too
nice very nice
I did not know the messages and everything that they wanted to say
very deep
the funny thing about BTS videos
following them from the beginning of the first videos
can you find in all the videos
references to previous videos
as if it were a sequel ?!
yes, indeed, there is a sort of game
which is mostly done on Twitter
to search and locate in videos
ah! something that is in the previous videos
but keeps fans active
yes yes, exactly
why
they are very active on social media
so every time when you see a new video, go look for a particular
yes but not just the previous one, maybe even 3 videos before
ah so you have to follow them by force
obviously if you like them
look for that thing you saw earlier
also written
for example in a video there is a painting on the wall
However
you can not see well because it is dusty and then 2 videos later
It is clearly clear
and there's this funny thing
just to keep fans active. say today came out the new video that you notice in particular
the three to listen to the song look more closely at the video
exactly, because they also give you
and so you do not stop to look only at them but also the whole outline that is in the videos
maybe these small elements, particular in the various videos also have a precise message
Yes, but there is a kind of story line
within the videos that if followed from the beginning they always make you these messages that they send
for example there is a video called "no more dream" , that speaks of young people who feel oppressed by societyi
and they send these messages inside the videos
they also send these messages, for example their leader, he recorded a record in which he speaks
activism, not only in music or art
but also at the social level they participated
if I'm not mistaken at the assembly of the united nations
Suga made a solo record where she talks about depression
having suffered from depression
let's say that the band transmits through videos
through mass, things you can find
precisely in the various videos
all these messages
all these videos that are full of metaphors
also cultural references
you calculate that the previous disk
it is very inspired
to philosophy and aesthetics
to some books
now I do not remember which ones exactly
but this thing has made so many young Koreans they bought those books
so also this thing to push
the boys to document themselves to acculturate themselves
because you in a video you named
a particular book
and maybe a boy in Korea
he does not know what he's doing or he has nothing to do
or is depressed, perhaps he takes it as a stimulus and as an example
it's a double-edged sword, that is, if you're an idol
he behaves badly, being an example
for young society
I'll give you an example, there was in a group
they got one of the members to get a joint
for us it is not a tragedy, right?
oh well, everyone has his own different ways of thinking
I do not know how it works
example it would happen that they catch Bon Jovi
to make a joint, eh who cares
if it's still there
peace, that matters to me
ok, in Korea it's different if they get one
an idol to do
they cut him off his career
he was doing military service, it is compulsory for him to last two years
ah 2 years lasts them?
they threw him out of service
they forced him to do civil service because he had to
clean up the guilt of having made a joint, because it is an example for young people
the problem is when you start being famous
this also applies in the West
when you are known
of course they take an example from you too
because you are a person in sight
you must understand that what you do
There are people, boys or children who can do the same things as you
wrong maybe a wrong thing
exactly what happened
UN General Assembly
participated in the UN General Assembly
in New York
where their leader made a wonderful speech about loving themselves
but I told you
they make deep texts, I did not know them
also the fact of the various symbols they have
all they use
let's say they pass
if they are well understood, they pass as more mature than they have
always hoping that it is all the result of their work and thought
no no
because talking about idols always remains a doubt
yes but they have just this record company
that deals only with them
let's say that they can afford
to deal directly with them
boss and to be able to talk
their manager is also a quiet person
that choose him
they have Western thoughts and ways
yes, yes, but also musically
already have a say and decide on what to do and already a kind of freedom
then the ways of making music each have their own way
you may like it or not
but the freedom to have your own style and say what you want is very important and is not discussed
as we sing .... it's the same
we always hear songs from other languages
also of an African tribe
music is personal
the important thing I repeat, is to be free to express yourself as you want
obviously using the head
I'm always of the idea that music
it's a very introspective thing
exactly, it's something inside of you
it's yours, I can hear a sound made
with the instrument of a tribe and get excited, and you do not
no, sometimes yes, then if it is done live
because maybe I better understand the skill, the meaning
of the message of that artist who wanted to give
it is always a very personal thing to be implemented
it's a subjective thing and a taste
or you'll have peace or not, then it's up to you to decide whether to deepen your knowledge or listening
because however there is always something to learn from any kind
or by any artist of any kind
with his past and his experience
especially of a country that knows very little
I've been there in Korea
yes I know I said it already
last video, a month out
eh a month, I was 2 weeks
he told me 20 days
(he did not understand anything 😂)
we stayed 10 days in Japan
I know them
and 5 days in Korea
yes yes I followed you with social media
Korea is strange very strange
yes but in this video it is not made to tell my trip
it is not strange, every state to its culture
I like that too
it's different from ours and obviously you have to know it to get used to it
here I always say that if you know languages
you are the master of the world
in fact we in Japan and in Korea ..... 🤭
yes but I would go there even without knowing the language
but to know then maybe help yourself, doing a cultural exchange
they can help us in many things, both Japan and Korea become very westernized
especially as regards their own image
yes, because they do not like them, for the almond eyes
perhaps they are less varied than we Westerners
then in Italy
and the story
we have been taken and invaded by so many different peoples
from the Germans, French, Spaniards etc.
instead they are also the neighboring peoples
however, it is also beautiful
know them, because they already know us substantially
we are more we need to open up with them
then they have many beautiful traditions
some are a little disgusting, like eating
oh well we have known more these oriental cultures the j-pop and k-pop
arrived at the end, I greet you Sara
thanks Ale
I thank you I'll see you soon
just call me for another video on k-pop
yes but also another kind
ok, I have it, I found it
you got it
if we take lots of 👍like and visualizations
shall we
Hi everyone
Hello everyone
🤘🖤
