The ticking dance sequence for this Fake Love intro is astonishing! There's another 0T7 in-a-box type dance clip on YouTube! The best STAGE performance of Airplane2 (for me) is the Cabaret style stage done in Japan! Everyone’s dressed in white, also on YouTube!

This is still one of my favorite performances, which I have like... 30 of that I just can't decide between. The performance I want to talk about though is Idol and it's intro... Now, I could write a whole ass 200 page essay on the cultural importance of the 3 brief performances that 3J gave us, plus the celebration dance, hat dance, the whole damn thing really. However, I have to work and there's no way in hell I'd be able to type that out in like an hour without fucking it up and trying to stay focused. So, I'm going to give an abridged run down to give you some idea as to why this Idol performance will ALWAYS be superior to all other Idol performances, yeah I said it. Hobi performed Samgo-mu or the traditional Korean 3 drums dance. This is a very old traditional dance that's been embeded in Korean culture for a long time- more specifically, since the Goryeo Dynasty. It's a victory dance and is performed usually by women. It actually takes a lot of strength to perform as the women are hitting 3 drums that are placed in a way so they can be played while the women dance. So, Hobi starts us out with this Victory dance... then we move to Jimin- Jimin is performing a buchaechum... also called Traditional Korean Fan dance. Dancer Kim Baek-bong actually created this dance in 1954- shamanic ritual dances inspired this dance along with the Joseon court and folk dances. Much like Samgo-mu this dance is usually performed by women. Then there's Jungkook who is performing the Sandae noli which is the traditional Mask dance... now, some might try to correct me on that and say it's actually called Talchum, and they're not entirely wrong- Talchum is what it's called but only in North Korea... because the word Talchum does mean mask dance...many confuse this as what it's always called. But depending on certain areas, and between north and south Korea it's called something different- JK performed Sandae Noli, which is what Seoul area and Providences in that area call the mask dance. Yayu is the name for the Mask dance if you're in or from more southern coastal areas. Anyway.. the mask dance is a dramatic performance... really like a play as it tells the story of lower class people who rise up against the rich and powerful.... Kind of gives a different context taken that BTS was a lower class group who rose up against others. Kind of makes JK's little smirk as he removes the Yangban mask and then tosses it to say - to hell with the rich and powerful... like way more attractive in my opinion. Then we have the live traditional instruments the traditional lion dance, the hat dancers.... All these are usually performed during cultural fairs or celebrations in Korea, and on special events or visits from leaders of other countries to give them a dose of Korean culture. It is NOT typical for Idols, let alone Idol groups to pull out all the stops and incorporate these very traditional celebratory things into their own performances. It speaks volumes as to how much BTS love their country and are proud of where they come from. BTS are not the first to use at least 1 traditional Korean celebration performance/dance in their own performances but they are the first that I've ever heard of to use more than 4(like way more if I break it down bit by bit but I do not have the time lol) in one go. So... there's that. That's about as brief as I could make it. There's a lot more to this performance that I didn't cover though and a shout out to my Auntie and Uncle who, when I used to visit SK during the summer when I was younger- Thanks for making me learn some real shit... never thought I'd ever write about those dances, but here we are and it's thanks to BTS... well and my SK fam for dragging around their little foreigner niece lol. Anyway, this performance is so damn meaningful and brilliant and thank you guys for reacting to it and thanks for the drop 💜

There are some fancams whose showed the idols there watching BTS performance specially in "Idol" part at the end and the section where they were seating was literally shaking due of the movement of the dance on that moment, it was kind of funny because some were scared...it was like a hearthquacke 😂 but yes guys as usual BTS transforming each award show into their concert, another epic and legendary performance, thank you for the reaction....I can not wait for you to react to their MAMA 2018 in Hong Kong and ofc also their Artist of the Year speech 💜

Lexi

Hands down 2019 MMA performance is my fav! I can't wait till y'all react to that! A FULL PANEL IS A MUST!!! Seriously, whatever you thought you knew, 2019 is way far past what you could EVER IMAGINE! 💜

Cynthia Newman

Mma 2019 coming 💜💜💜

Tracy Stewart

Yep when I saw that video I was amazed by the amount of elements related to Korea's history they put in just one performance.. Incredible... Again they taught me the importance to learn about diverse cultures.

Yasmine SB

u need to get the whole panel for MAMA 2019 plzzzzz

kameron⁷

Ahhh! I was literally going to find this exact video!!

Tay Tay

Oof it was chaos when this performance came out. Such a good time lol.

Tay Tay

I forgot who said it but during the intro to fake love they did spell something it was “persona” , it was a spoiler for the next album map of the soul: persona… also after u do mma 2019 can the next one be the mama 2019 they did N.O and we are bulletproof pt2 https://youtu.be/gdrO-iU3Glg

Suncedars Hul

Yea that's why BTS close out award shows because who would want to go after that lol. BTS are something else. 2019 MMA is god tier, can't wait for you guys to watch it.

Rachel Lynn

Thank you so much Yas… I knew it was a lot behind the song.. thanks for the link

Redemption 46 Studios

You dunno how much meanings was behind that Idol performance, the whole history of Korea was in it... From the colors, the back-up dancers, the outfits, the instruments, the dances, the mythological animal... Everything.. Even Jimin get a special award for his dance. If you are interested to learn about some history of Korea, I highly recommend this video explaining very well that perfo, it's a 40' video but worth the time https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TA5X24c2FhI

Yasmine SB

Hi guys! My favorite awards performances are MMA 2018, definitely MMA 2019 and MMA 2020. For MAMA performances, my favorites are 2018, specifically Airplane part 2. and 2020. Trust me you are going to love all of the MMA 2019 performance. It is a masterpiece!! I hope the whole crew will watch that one.

Kem Johnson

FOR SURE... THOSE ARE COMING SOON

Redemption 46 Studios

There are yt videos of groups/idols who were there and were amazed by the production and performance, especially with the homage to their Korean culture as intro to IDOL performance.

Haru

Yesss, the opening for 2019 is still one of my faves in performances

raeven b.

Yeah, I can see that. I hope they get to react to some more underrated solo artists, cuz there are soooo many good ones. Looks like they go that route sometimes, so we’ll see.

raeven b.

Nah, you’re not wrong, lol but I also love when they are there for those moments when something does catch their attention. Like I think the woman on the panel, I’m sorry I can never really catch her name, loves music she can smoke to. Maybe start suggesting some lo-fi BTS bsides to really catch her attention. Just a suggestion! 💜

Dasia

Can you please react to Autumn Leaves lyric video (It's a top tier song and for me Paradise, Autumn Leaves, and Hold Me tight are the bermuda triangle of B-sides)

REECE

Will we get the WHOLE crew when y’all react to mma 2019 and 2020..we’ve been waiting for those reactions for too long 🙃

nini anderssen

I retract some of my statement--homegirl's attention spikes sometimes. but STILL! lol I'm not saying someone should be "reacting" every second of a video, because that isn't genuine. It's just very easy to see when someone is generally interested in something and when they're not. It's just agitating when reactors don't pay attention to the content they're reacting to. And I've complained enough, so I'll shut up now. 😅

raeven b.

This is one of the best BTS'performances for me. This was the one that made me an Army. They are amazing. Even more amazing is watching other idols/groups watching this and the awe in their faces.

raeven b.

I hope you do other artists too. There are many iconic mama and mma stages for like bigbang, 2ne1,ikon, ateez, exo,...
