Cultural Post with Artifact #2

The song ‘IDOL’ by the K-Pop band BTS was released on August 24, 2018. It features different traditional Korean instruments and is inspired by the Korean genre pansori as well as John Woo’s move Face/Off. According to Rolling Stone India, the song combines the Korean instrument “gakgung, with African rhythms, trap rap and electronica.” This leads to the global sound that is culturally rich and diverse. A lot is going in the music video, with different bright colors, animations and dancing. The official music video broke multiple records on YouTube, including the most viewed music video during the first 24 hours and the fastest music video to have 100 million views in 2018.
