If we talk about Korean pop, Korean music production companies (or Korean cultural industry engineers”) have a very good grasp of the spirit of the time. They create great music groups and manage to make billions of dollars of economic income with their wonderful pop songs. Bringing together children who did not know each other before; giving them 3-4 years of hard training and head to the world music market is not little success.
Let’s talk about BTS. The group consists of 7 names. They meet all the requirements of pop music. His songs, clips, dances and discourses are all “good pop.” And this good pop proposes “a commitment to be part of, to be part of, milyonlar millions of adolescents aged 10-15 years in the world. Attention alone: We are talking about a commitment that transcends attention, platonic love.
Almost the ”faith” plane belongs to the members of the army in question. With this aspect, it is possible to compare BTS to a religion that will be a member of certain age groups and Army to be a believer of that religion. Let me tell you that when one of the members of the group’s grandmother died, we should grieve collectively.
What does BTS offer to those Z-generation adolescents? Let’s start with their appearance: All the members of the group are men who make heavy make-up, do not have a single feather in their bodies, do not have a single excess weight, and are perfect in terms of perception “with their clothes and images. They wear skirts and women’s shoes with heels. Because “why not?”
Are their basic motto. “Why shouldn’t I wear a skirt, why shouldn’t I make up, why shouldn’t I have all my hair down, why shouldn’t I make every mind to look flawless and unique? Liste the list goes on. And no, they certainly don’t propagate homosexuality. Their propaganda is based on “genderlessness.. “Whatever you want” event. In fact, this is the suggestion of a brand-new “new generation of world citizenship eşit equal to all sexes, all religions, all perceptions and all ideologies.
When we look at the lyrics, there are two main slogans we face: “Love yourself” and “You can do it.” Well, these are pretty cool slogans for the Z generation adolescents. You can succeed, you can be whatever you want, all you have to do is obsess with “achieving”. And of course you can love yourself cheeky. Just love yourself. You can love others over yourself, but something like peanuts. These are the propositions that sit in the spirit of the period.
Finally, there is the issue of the image of good children. BTS donates 7.5 tons (yes only seven and a half tons) of rice to homeless people. When the birthday of any member of the group approaches, a donation campaign is initiated and the money sent by army is delivered to street animals, village schools and so on. There is a project to help Africa with UNICEF. That is what Zizek describes as “the modern man forgives himself by throwing coins in the favor hut”.
None of the members use drugs or fall in love because their contracts are lit. Don’t let me say “contract”. This flat slavery pact is the industry that runs a tyranny that results in the suicide of some of the K-Pop singers. How else are they going to get a $3.5 billion return?
As you can see, the Korean music industry has made a tremendous number and implemented a plane that will fit the moods of the Z generation adolescents.
Shall we get mad? Sure, we can get mad. But we can think a little bit. What part of the life of our 11-year-old girls and 12-year-old sons, these groups become believers of the K-Pop religion? Why is our ability to “message onlara them so weak? Why can’t we touch their lives? Why can’t we offer them a reasonable “commitment? Within us? We need to continue talking right here.
The last word to the army members. My son, your father’s your age, man. I’m trying to understand you without judging. Five years later, when you think about it, you’re saying, “I’m pure, saf you swear and insult me for a commitment, can’t you? Tell me, how many different costumes does Jin wear in the DNA music video?
