Tbh BTS have done so much to spread their culture. Before knowing them I didn't care about South Korea at all, but now because I became a fan, I started to learn more about Korean culture and history and I'm fascinated with it. If I have the opportunity I would like to visit South Korea and as you said, experiment South Korea by myself.
Thanks you guys for doing this type of videos, I always read the translations of bts' songs but with this type of videos I can understand the lyrics even better ^^
To be honest, before BTS caught my attention, I could have a problem even to point out Korea at the world's map. Not to mention things like naming more than 1 Korean city or to name the Korean alphabet. Now here I am, in the age of 22 I'm doing my best to learn hangul
So, u not from korea?? Or u have korean blood but not lived in there?
same! I've been watching Korean shows/dramas but never really cared to look back and really research abt the culture, meanings behind the ways, etc. until I became BTS fan- well ARMY now.
Same here!!
BTS made me want to travel and experience South Korea so bad!
BTS gonna be the group that single handedly teaches the world about Korean culture through music LOLOL
They had been doing it for quite a long now
These guys are doing it too by explaining it....
@@MeghaDevaraju and they're doing it for BTS' stans tho. DKDKTV ain't a kpop group.
they've liked this comment anyway
Yes
@@milenamilens2340 of course....I wasn't saying anything against anyone. I am an army myself. I was just saying I understood all the cultural aspects of that performance.
"BTS is westernised and are forgetting their Korean roots"
Me: *throws this video along with their 2018 MMA performance of IDOL in their face*
+ ddaeng
No one with brains can say that BTS are westernized. The SK goverment gave them an award for speading Korean Culture globally for christ sake, ONLY kpop group to get one. Their songs speak for themselves. Ddaeng, Baepsae, IDOL and so on. They have ONLY one song in full English, after 2 years od big popularity in US, when other groups have released full English albums withou demand. They are the reason millions overseas bother with all these K-award shows. Not to mention the UN speech. Honestly, when I see someone saying that I know they are haters or completely ignorant of BTS work.
Seo Taiji and Boys, the greatest influence that made Kpop today used different genres from the West to create his music and yet kpop fans of today dare say that BTS or other 3rd Gen groups are 'becoming westernized' when Kpop already had western influence since the 1st Gen, sigh.
@@roderickconte7122 thats the beautiful thing. being influenced by various cultures and genres produces amazing music by taking the best of each thing
this actually rly hurt my heart u know, BTS bring so much profit to South Korea, they spread South Korea's culture, they do so much for their country, yet still so many people in their own country don't respect them and even accuse them :'(
if bts originally from my country, I'll deadass rly proud and help them support them respect them with all i have, "give back the love"
bts give the best for their country, yet people who accuse them like that was maybe a nobody that give nothing to their country
So basically BTS is saying 'let me sing you the song of my people' 🙌
This is a reason why BTS is so different and unique than any other Kpop group. They are geniuses in their lyrics and songs and they show how proud they are of their Korean roots, they are them.
I agree with you
This. The most intellectual comment 💜
Actually a lot of singers have sung this but bta has a wider audience specially international audience hence you only know about them singing it.
Ananya Singh I’ve been up to date with many kpop groups releases. I didn’t see it as much
@@shannyty pls say names of the songs which you meant I have to check out
I'd be lying if I said BTS wasn't my gateway to korean media, then the culture, then starting to teach myself the language, and now my contemplation/still in debate of studying abroad in South Korea for a year. It's incredibly fascinating to me.
Same...same on everyth
"I'm using BTS again" well yeah, as long as BTS keeps giving iconic content then it is amazing to have videos like this where we can comprehend the real meaning of the song through having the cultural context. Thank you so much.
"Yes, I'm using BTS once again."
Oh come on David~ we would be happy to know about the things you explain so we are using you too...it's somewhat called coexisting...😉
Exactlyyyy!!
Mutualism
guys I loved this video,can you maybe do an explained video for satoori rap too ?
I second this!!! 💜 💜 💜 💜
Yes!! I third this!
Omg yess!! please!
OMG YES PLEASE!!!!!!! This has to be done guys!!!!
oh, yes please!
I love this series so much. BTS and their rendition of this song has made me want to look more into traditional Korean culture, it seems so beautiful. Despite not being Korean myself BTS gives me a sense of pride and awe for always sticking to their roots and never forgetting where they came from.
I really like Arirang. It impresses me how just one song can reflect history of the whole nation
Danny, David... Please we need you to explain all the korean cultural references in BTS' Melon Music Awards 2018 performance.
If you watched their reaction video, i think they mentioned the cultural references shown during the performance. But, yeah, i wont complain if david made a explanation video about that.
I dont know. Nan molla
Jin's voice is perfect for this
4:05 Oh my god I get shivers everytime I hear Jin sing that part. His voice is *_SO_* powerful.
I once sang this song in my choir the year my choir director retired. She came from Korea to America and went back to Korea, specifically Jeju, with the traveling choir, and they won a few medals. Arirang was such a beautiful song to sing!
BTS is genuinely genuis...I mean WOW,no boyband does this...at young age they are already legends...I love them even more.💜
This is so timely; BTS just did an AMAZING performance of IDOL at the MMAs that centered on Korean culture and arts
must say i love when they use the Korean culture as inspiration or part of their works... like the MMA performance today the bit before Idol and that version of Idol was great (rest was great to but i really enjoyed that part specially :) )
saw a comment asking for an explained video for the satoori rap and i second that idea!!
or any of the satoori stuff... or even the folk lore stuff OHH or eveeennn any old korean songs.... that be neat!!
Third that, it's interesting to learn korean culture through their songs. 💕
They made one
I've seen korean netizens found BTS' cover of the song just now and many said they wished for them to perform it at Olympics or United Nations.
*Hey David, Danny* or which of you scrolls the comments right now. Please, make a playlist at your channel for BTS' explanations. It's very useful for new armys, they will find it easier
Ohh, where have the knetizens reacted to it? I wanna read the comments
Seriously this series of BTS songs explained needs to continue. I fell deep in love with BTS lyrics because of this series. And it's so easy to show it to others who don't listen to Kpop. Thanks for this amazing job.
YES. This needs to happen.
I got goosebumps reading this comment.
You guys are doing such a good job in helping take k-pop fans “over the hill” in understanding the cultural roots of the music and visuals of contemporary pop culture. I hope you’re being recognized and supported for your efforts by your country’s ministry of culture-it’s as important as, say, BTS promoting Seoul tourism.
This song is my jam since I forgot how many years, I still can't believe South Korean people only discovered this version just yet lmao, BTS are legends since even before their debute, I truly just LOVE this song, and I did my researches on it, and I've also watched the original version that I find magnificent, I really love your culture and mine, anyway, BTS are kings, legends, everything, stan talent, stan BTS, Love ~
And great video as always, borahae ~ 😍😚💜💜
sakura heartfilia why did it take them so long to discover it in Korea?
1:38 Arirang- can convey the meaning of love, break up, self realization...
Love Yourself series anyone????
Her(DNA/Serendipity)- Love
Tear(Fake Love/Singularity)- Break up
Answer(Idol/Epiphany)- Self Realization
Could the entire LY's concept be inspired from Arirang?
Fake love isnt for break up though?
Oh man. Have you seen their performance at the MMA2018?????? I want to see your reaction to that.
the performance was mind blowing 🤩
oh, I've often seen people talk about how they incorporated different version of Arirang in their song but never any more detail. Thank you so much for explaining it so thoroughly, also with the meaning of the lyrics! That really helped me understand it better and even see that they put their own message in their version ♥
Hi, I'm an Intl army. There's is a possibility that BTS songs we think we've understand the meaning. But actually we haven't for languages barrier. So i want to request u to explain those songs to us. I don't want to comment explaine this particular song of BTS instead I want you to look for the songs which has hidden meanings or techniques. Thank you for ur work. It's really helps me to understand their work better.
Btw, have u watched BTS's performance at MMA stage? It was mindblowing.
Danny and David have explained some of BTS song based on words play or social and culture link. If you havent listen, better you checked that. Those are very good.
- Idol
- Bapsae
- Forever Rain (RM)
- Ddaeng
- Epiphany
- Spine Breaker
Hope they always make explaination to other BTS song in the future.
@@vpme17 I've watched all of them. Thank you.
Little Amy please don’t make demands of them they work very hard as it is:)
ps thanks danny and david y’all are amazing!!
I think it's funny that you mentioned them spreading Korean culture because I got into k-pop because of BTS early this year and ended up looking into the language and culture to better understand their (and other groups') music and influences. It ended up with me on Tuesday actually applying for a program that would let me live in Korea for 2 months to learn even more about it.
did u go to korea ??? and how was the program ?? XDDD
And then there's actually people saying BTS is too westernized... like, ..... where?!
Ikr? They just integrated culture into the recent century.
Right, being on trend while staying true to their roots.
True. But if that is the case i think there's a fair deal since because of BTS I think a lot of people from all over the world are.. shall we say "Asianized" "Koreanized"?! "East Asianized?" 😂
방탄 아리랑 소개 감사합니다♥ 요즘 방탄이 한국인의 자긍심을 올려주는거 같아서 너무 기분 좋습니다ㅠㅠㅠ
감사해요..외랑둥이들에게 우리나라의 전통민요인 아리랑을 이해하는데 큰도움이 될거예요..
I like that traditional way of singing. There's some charm to it. I've got goosebumps. 😊 I always liked the coexistence of tradition and modernity.
And it's not only because of BTS that I'm interested in Korean history and culture. To be honest, I first started to be curious through historical kdramas xD
I love how the traditional versions are mostly by Song So Hee.
Locals be saying we are so into korea that forgot our own country but for me it made me love my country even more because I admire BTS for loving their country...it depends on the fans how they interpret the song and apply to themselves
Ofcourse I love korean culture too I'm curious of others too...I swear I wished I was into thier lyrics from the beginning:(
Honey, if anyone’s using anyone here it will be us using you to understand better what our boys are saying.
Thank you again for explaining so thoroughly 💜🌈
When i was younger i always wanted to learn the language but never attempted it,but since i became a fan of bts,i started learning korean and it made me want to learn more about the culture and hopefully one day i will be able to visit korea,also i feel proud how proud they are of their origin and how much they promote their country
I never realized BTS's song covered all the regional versions! I LOVE their cover of Arirang and it made me explore so much more about Arirang and traditional Korean music! I learned that there are different variations but I never put together that BTS's song weaves them into one. It is definitely a permanent song on my playlist. My favorite part is how the members harmonize at the end (Ari ari seurri seurri). Snatches my heart 😍 I'll never understand why there are kpop groups with so many members but so few harmonizing parts. . .
A lesser known BTS song, but deserves a place in our hearts 💜
Sidenote becausee not BTS related, but can we acknowledge how amazing that one lady was, that was shown several times? Her voice and art of singing was really great.
Another sidenote. My ARMY daughter just downloaded Arirang somewhere but did not know anything about the background. When we visited my parents together and were talking about how we both got into Kpop (or better BTSpop), we played some songs and Arirang came up. My mom who sings in a choir, where they sing songs from all over the world, said "I know this one, it's basically like a Korean anthem, the most popular song there". So my mom, who has no clue about South Korea otherwise taught us about Arirang.
This video is how I discovered her, Song So Hee.
I was in a Korean rock n roll band back in the late 60's called the Devils. We sand this song in a verry similar tempo to what BTS is doing here. I guess we were about 50 years ahead of our time. I was the only American to ever be in this group and I sang Arirang in Korean, which was very unique.
The lady singing Millyang Arirang stole my heart you guys. I love songs like this no matter what Asian Culture it is. Whew her voice and emotion.
Anyways thank you 💜 you & BTS.
Her name is Song so hee
My go to Arirang rendition is Sohyang’s, but I did find out about it through BTS. Thanks for this video, it’s really helpful! I could deduce the emotions within the song just from the melody, but this more in depth analysis helps a lot.
The BTS version of the song ARIRANG is just heart touching song ! The beginning of the music sounds like Bollywood music of India !!
90% of students in India who are learning Korean is because of BTS . BTS made me take interest in learning korean
Bts is now teaching me Korean culture
Thank you for explaining this. We, international armys, are really grateful to this information, making us appreciate it more. We purple you 💜
*Learn Korean culture by BTS ft.DKDKTV*
Lollolol
Jin’s voice is perfect here!
Jin's vocals are on point in BTS version of Arirang.
That, along with BTS's version of the Arirang was a wonderful and simple explanation! I am a folk song and traditional and classic music lover, singer, and student. The Arirang has even influenced other cultures folk music around the world. It is a beautiful and touching history in music! Thanks for such a helpful simple explanation!!
arirang is beautiful . i like all versions and i love bts version. thanks for the explanation
Jin's voice suits this song so perfectly. I love this version of the song, and how proud they are of their homeland
bangtan arirang was the first bts song that I could sing from start to finish. It's still one of my favorites of all their songs
Fun fact (not very fun), they teach Arirang to little Canadian kids in elementary school music class. We are all about the multiculturalism so they teach songs from different cultures (LOTS of Hebrew songs) and it's a good way to introduce that one scale, you know, the one you can play on only the black keys.
I've always loved this song and I've never seen people give it any attention, so I'm really thankful you're "using" BTS to remind people this awesome song exists!
That's very very informative, thank you.🙏 I just appreciate BTS more of how they gives pride to S. Korea. They're truly a S.Korea's soft power. I love watching this again and again...💜💜💜💜
I've heard several of these variations of Arirang almost 8 years ago when we were playing Variations of a Korean Folk Song for concert festival for my high school band. I never had the chance to look into the lyrics, but it was one of my favorites from festival that we played and got us a high score for our orchestra. When I heard this version I tried to focus on the words and understand the deeper meaning of the song. So thank you guys for explaining it even more!
I fell in love with Jins Voice
I've only known BTS for a year so this is my first time understanding this song's meaning, thank you!! I admire how in love with their own culture they are! Adding parts from all provinces and then putting their own spin on it, anyone in Korea could relate to it I assume. Love those boys and love you guys!
@DKDKTV Thank you for your hard work. Really appreciate it a lot. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Oh my good god that woman singing at 4:24-4:58 literally sent shivers down my spine and made me burst into tears. Gosh this song just conveys so many emotions its incredible.
As always, thank you so much for explaining this in depth. I'd been wanting to understand some of the meaning behind Arirang ever since I found a video of BTS performing it in 2016, however all other explanations really fell short. Once again, you guys do such a fantastic job of laying out all the complexities and nuances in this explained series and I'm really truly grateful.
Culture is such a wonderful, diverse, and incredible thing and I love getting these glimpses at the history and traditions of Korea. Thank you to you and BTS both!
Arirang is my favorite korean folk song, if not my favorite folk song. Ever since I first heard So Hyang's version (which is my favorite version with BTS's being my 2nd fav -surprisingly-), I've loved this song.
U can’t just put a small part of satori rap there the audience want a full video explaining for that song please and thank u , and there’s something i have read before that this song can be interpreted as it’s for the division between N & S korea and how korean still feel the longing and the nostalgia towards their families there , the part when they said “Let’s meet let’s meet “ reminded me of that
As a Korean American, this song wrenches my heart every single time I hear it. Nothing logical about it. It's so unbelievably beautiful and I can't properly verbalize it. FYI I cried through this entire video.
I love their version so much and Jin’s voice sounds so amazing
Back again with great a video
Idk why this makes me wanna cry it's so beautiful frr
Bts or not
Arirang always makes me cry nd i love it,, it is just beautiful
아리랑 영상 보면서 나도 모르게 나온 눈물에 당황했던 기억이...좋은 설명 감사합니다. 참 오늘 멜뮤어워드 꼭 보셨길 바래요, 방탄 모두 너무 멋진 무대 했고 우리 뷔💜 정말 멋있었어요. 빨간 머리도...
True that BTS is spreading korean culture all over the world, even me after almost 12 years of kdramas just because of them and their music of course have decide to lear korean language. It is a long way but I want to enjoy their music and understand it at every second not just remembering what it says in each song as I am doing it now.
Es cierto que BTS está difundiendo la cultura coreana por todo el mundo, incluso yo después de casi 12 años de kdramas solo por ellos y su música, por supuesto, he decidido aprender el idioma coreano. Es un largo camino pero quiero disfrutar de su música y entenderla a cada segundo, no solo recordando lo que dice en cada canción como lo estoy haciendo ahora.
Thank you so much, DKDKTV! Both of you work so hard to help intl fans understand BTS' messages! Their songs get even more special to us! I love today's "Explained by a Korean" so much. I'm always trying to get close to korean culture and when you say you're thankful to BTS 'cause they're spreading all of this rich culture of yours, I'd like to say that you guys are doing an amazing job promoting Korea as well!!
Again, this channel gives me life! I love you two!
Tons of purple love from Brazil!!
PS. David, have you seen Taehyung's hair for MMA?? OMGG! That is power indeed!
so Proud of BTS!!!
and they're dancing Korean traditional dance too :) so adorable
이 영상 잘 민들어서 좋아요 bangtan always make me proud as a korean
Their pride in their nation and not shying away from introducing their heritage in strength in the face of gaining western fame has inspired me to look back into my Filipino roots. It’s amazing and they’re amazing.
It was an acquaintance saying they watched some Korean shows on Netflix that led me to being a big fan of South Korea. I love the Kdramas and watching them has instilled a love for that country, their culture and traditions. Before this, I had no idea where it was in the world map and all I knew was they made televisions called Samsung!
I have learned some basic (very basic) Korean words from watching Kdramas and learned quite a bit of history. (I could probably name most of the kings of the Joseon era from Yi Seong-gye (King Taejo) onwards.)
Kdrama led me to the wonderful world of BTS who I love and think are marvellous! I am probably their oldest fan! I’m not just their fan, I’m a whole air-conditioner. Thank you boys for this video, I do so love listening to Arirang and you have given a deeper understanding for your national anthem which started life as a beautiful folk song.
Regards from Australia.
Thank you, David, for explaining this so clearly. The example clips you used have me even more fascinated by Korean traditional culture and history. From the clips, I heard echos of Jimin's unique vocal style (or isn't it more the other way around?) and now I wonder how much traditional singing styles influenced him. Thanks so much for showing us what we don't even know we would want to learn! 💜💜
송소희 양 영상 많이 쓰셨네용 너무 좋아요 :3♡ 시간이 좀 지난거라 방탄 아리랑을 설명 해주실 줄은 몰랐어요! 외국팬들이 그냥 어렴풋이 민요라고 알던 노래를 이렇게 설명 잘 해주셔서 감사합니다~
I have recently travelled with other army to South Korea and explored Busan, Daegu and Seoul. It was amazing seeing a little bit of the culture, hearing the language, blending in with locals and experiencing the vibe and atmosphere of the streets.
The people were friendly and so welcoming. Even if they didn't understand much English they were all trying to help us out.
I have fallen in love with all 3 cities and I cannot wait to come back and explore some more. Maybe learn the language also...I will try at least :)
in Run, i think, they mentioned run so hard they hurt their feet ... i like how everything they do say and sing are linked.
I first heard about bts maybe around 2016. I might have been 10 and heard of it inspite not having a phone to use or being exposed to UA-cam. Then around 2018 I slowly started following their music as my friends started loving it. As someone who is particular about not claiming to be a fan without decent knowledge over it, although I enjoyed the few works of theirs that I saw I didn't jump into calling myself army until I was fully content with my knowledge.
Now am proudly an ARMY who can read hangul, can understand a decent amount of it without subtitles, can form short sentences, have discovered various korean traditional art forms, discovered more of kpop, seen sooo many well made k dramas and movies, seen a number of variety shows (not just bts related), know a basic amount of korean history, and so many more small small details.
And although this is like a drop amongst the ocean of knowledge I have left to gain over everything related to Korea, I wouldn't even have had this drop of knowledge without BTS💜
And ofcourse dkdktv has had a huge role in making this learning journey much easier! Thankyou!💜💜💜💜💜
After listening to your explanations of BTS songs I'm starting to wonder how much I've been missing not only in their older songs but other korean singers' songs.
I personally love BTS' rendition of Arirang, it sounded super upbeat and it makes you feel energized somehow
thank u DKDKTV
for your efforts on making this
🙌💜💜💜I know its selfish from me to say this but it would be lovely if can also explain bts satoori rap, I have been listening to it for years but I still can't get the translation
I fell in love with this song when I saw BTS performing it...still love it...
Great timing! I saw alot of ARMYs commenting on BTS Arirang as it recently came up that Koreans recently discovered this version and people had many questions. I'll be sure to refer them to your video! Thanks for doing this!
Thank you! LOL, I really love this song as their version. The version you called Millyang Arirang I cried while listening to her.
BTS' music is so rich and full of meanings, I love them so much, and I LOVED this video, you guys are doing a great job with this serie ;)
I just went to Seoul / Korea last 5 days to get over my obsession with bts but after I went there, here I am again, I can't get enough, I wanna go again.. Bts seriously brought Korea to the world. I came to Korea n much interested because of bts
If it weren't for BTS I probably would never have informed myself more on the Korean culture. I used to be quite ignorant regarding eastern culture and wasn't in the least interested in it, everything just seemed too different to me. Suddenly BTS showed me this whole new different world, but hey, the different is beautiful and fascinating, and I caught myself thinking why the hell I hadn't read and seen more of eastern culture! I was really missing out on so much! I'll be forever thankful to BTS for removing the ignorance veil from my eyes and allowing me to see the world with different eyes.
But I must also say that BTS' efforts wouldn't have such an effort if it weren't for people like David, Danny and other K-army who dedicated their time to explain the references, translate and educate us on Korean culture. So I really do think it's a great group effort between BTS and K-Army that's making Korea known to the world.
Thank you, DKDKTV for this!
I love BTS's arirang! I swear every song they've ever covered they make it even better. Lol millions of people are now going to Korea cuz of BTS.
Did u see the idol stage on MMA 👀👀👀 THE CULTURE JUMPED OUT
I've been obsessed with Arirang for so long, but why did I find out it had such a good choreography only now
I’m not even Korean but I’m so proud of BTS. I can’t imagine how proud Koreans people are. BTS definitely Korea’s national treasure
Reminds me of the amazing traditional dance and instruments at the 2018 MMAs today.
Korea should be proud of these 7 boys. They have made this version which I love soooo much, and made the song Idol as well as performing it amazingly with the richness of their culture at the MMA. They had satoori rap songs in their past album. They even had a bangtan bomb show where they taught us Satoori. I love how they love their identity.
I miss this so much, I hope they will perform this on Oct in their busan concert since it coincides with their bid and intention to host the world expo 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Folk songs always made me cry since i was small lol you can feel they joy or sadness in the lyrics/style of singing so well🥺 its very beautiful
I am not korean, I'm asian
But korean people must be proud of BTS, support them !!!!
esp. haters and fans from other kpop artist fandom should accept their hard work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BTS spreaded korean culture best way!!!!!!! So many many million people started to learn korean culture, history, life style, k-drama, and kpop!!!!!
Many people traveled korea, visited because of BTS!!!
Their all songs have deep meaning, about social problem, life about high school , youth, stress, depression,
live goal, young age, love to yourself, social problem etc etc!!!!!!!!!!! esp. they produced all their songs!!!!
also don't bash and insult BTS!!!!! They are one in billion!!!!!!!!!
WOW???2023/APRIL LOVE THIS VIDEO THANK YOU FOR EXOLAINT LOVE IT🙆🏻♀💜
I didn’t know you guys knew that BTS covered this song! Thank you so much for making this explained video!
Thank you for all this information and I'm so proud 💜
