In a new video, Professor Hong Seok Kyeong from Seoul National University looked at the influence of BTS and why she thinks they are such a force to be reckoned with globally. One of the first things she addressed was why she thought the world was crazy for BTS.

She explained that she has been studying popular culture for a long, from classic rock to The Beatles, but she added that this is unlike anything she has seen.

The BTS phenomenon is more interesting than any phenomena before. The popular culture based on the Korean language has entered into the global pop culture. From the album Most Beautiful Moment in Life, especially the album Wings in 2018, it was a global big hit.

Looking at it from a more social science-based answer, Professor Hong Seok Kyeong explained that it was the fanbase of the group and the availability of social media that has made BTS and K-Pop more accessible. For her, BTS is also a group that has spanned generations with their talent.

BTS is a hip-hop idol group. The idol system, the essence of K-Pop, is totally opposite to hip hop. However, BTS has successfully dissolved their own experiences in their songs with their own voice.

In particular, it was the messages from the songs that made them more appealing. She believes that they had lyrics that combated norms and tackled some of the tougher questions.

By doing this, she believes they overcame a barrier for foreigners to fall in love with K-Pop. Global fans responded when BTS spoke simple messages that resonated with their own experiences.

The words are very straightforward. For example, ‘I hate self-help books more than anything’ (RM’s DO YOU). Songs like ‘Dope,’ ‘Fire,’ and ‘Not Today,’ contain all such messages.
