Lyric history lesson! 🧠📚💜

Omg I didn't even clock Namjoon name dropping Kim Gu, in Arirang track Aliens this time. Before the album release, I revisited the 2018 Culture Awards speech, where our BTS leader quoted the Korean independence activist. Don't know why I did that though.

wow it's much deeper than I thought, I only saw simpler explanation of this man being a leader of korean independence movement, but knowing his views on k culture the reference make perfect sense. Kim Gu would've loved BTS 😔

Who said the lyrics in this album is not meaningful should see this ..how MEANINGFUL this is !!!

This is crazy because david from dkdktv actually mention this speech before the com back and said i wonder what he would think to se bts now. And then rm literally asked the Same, how cool

Thank you for sharing this clip. Now I remember. RM also mentioned this person Kim Gu during his acceptance speech at the 2019 Korean Music Award.

@MelBoomBos This is one thing I love about a BTS album. That first week getting a deep dive about the Korean lyrics because we KNOW the guys are lyricists

RM is really a Master Lyricist. And his knowledge of history is astounding. Korean Ancestors are proud!

@KORE7heWhale I think he has every reason to be proud

And the fans from other fandom wont get this… lol

Every army needs to see this

Educate me, sir.
