This time, BTS brought out the Korean traditional elements in the newest concept, and many international fans are wondering what they actually are.
Here are some explanations for BTS' 'IDOL' teaser and its concept.
Tiger, a sacred animal in Korean culture, is a symbol representing the country itself.
By choosing traditional outfits for the upcoming music video, it seems like BTS wants to add strong traditional Korean elements for its comeback.
'Giwa', a traditional roof style of Korea, consists of wooden framework and dark navy-colored ceramic roof tiles.
'Eeol-ssu' is a thing called 'Chu-imsae', a part when a drummer or audience say in between the musical performance to lift up the mood.
It could be interpreted as a habit of a 'Yangban', gentry ruling class of Joseon Dynasty―as a Yangban used to cough instead of saying something to let people know his appearance.
Meanwhile, the full music video of 'IDOL' will be unveiled on August 24 alongside BTS' repackaged album 'LOVE YOURSELF 結 Answer' release.
Until then, check out the teaser below!
