[ANALYSIS] BTS (방탄소년단) 'IDOL' Official Teaser

THE TIGER

The tiger has been strongly associated with Korean people and Korean culture. It appears in not only the Korean foundation mythology but also in folklore, as well as a favorite subject of Korean art such as painting and sculpture.

Regarded by many as the divine spirit that guards the West, people in Korea consider the white tiger as a sacred creature in local folklore.

A tiger that has overcome trials and tribulations and understands the world is known to turn white, becoming a white tiger. Although it is a sacred creature that doesn’t harm people, it becomes angry when the ruler of the country conducts evil and inhumane deeds. Therefore, it has been told that powerful people become humble and rich people become generous when a white tiger appears. Can it be a controversial song about politics and the recent events that occurred in south Korea?

As such, in Korean history and culture, a tiger is regarded as a guardian that drives away evil spirit and a sacred creature that brings good luck – the symbol of courage and absolute power.

THE SUN

The first thing you might wonder is, “Is this a sunrise? Or is this a sunset?” The answer is yes! And by ‘yes’ I”m not just being a wiseacre. What I mean is that this is a dual symbol. It actually represents both a sunrise and a sunset.

Considering that life on our planet depends upon the sun, it’s no wonder than so many ancient cultures worshiped it. Even today, in Christianity and other religions, the sun remains an important symbol.

The sun represents eternal life, as well as the eternal light of heaven. When you think of it as a sunset, it symbolizes the end of our earthly life. On the other hand, as a sunrise it also reminds us of the promise of new beginnings in the afterlife. Here BTS are saying that they are no more humans but in their path as IDOLS they became GODS. 

THE FLOATING HOUSE 

BTS here are somewhere in the sky. They are no more human beings but rulers of their own world. Then why is this house yellow? None of this is a coincidence. 

There is something called Yin-Yang and the Five Elements of the Universe

There is a belief originated from China and shared in the Orient called “yin-yang and the five elements theory”, or eumyangohaeng in Korean. Old East Asian culture and its people’s lives were deeply based on nature, and the theory explains the natural system which the world is founded on. Yin-yang or eumyang means light and darkness, which are represented by the sun and the moon. Ohaeng means the five elements; fire, water, tree, metal or gold, and earth, which compose the world we live in. Yin-yang and the five elements theory symbolize and provides interpretations for parts of the universe, such as colors, positions, and time (weather). The five basic colors, called obangsaek - red, black, blue, white, and yellow - are colors that represent each of the five elements from fire to earth, in order. These colors also symbolize five positions - south, north, east, west, and the center. Then, the four positions - east, south, west, and north - correspond to each season- spring, summer, fall, and winter. Though the basic five colors are also the traditional colors of China and Japan, they have different hues, meanings, and usages in Korea.

BTS are indeed here the rulers of the earth with their music.

THE COUGH

According to this post HERE: When a yangban (member of the upper class of Korean society in the past) let’s out a fake cough, it means “I’m here so stop talking about me”

THE COUGH - the Yangban, a traditional ruling class of dynastic Korea during the Joseon Dynasty, would cough instead of saying anything out loud to let people know their appearance, to silence the audience, to indicate that something bothers them, etc.
