"Instead of weapons, Danso and Samtaegeuk fans...BTS fights with culture"

When BTS BTS (Jungkook, Jimin, RM, V, Suga, J-Hope, Jin) released the music video for their fifth studio album "Arirang" on April 1, fans around the world began searching for hidden details. In the music video, which surpassed millions of views immediately after its release, it was two traditional props that caught the attention of fans. A trapezoidal fan with Jungkook and a Danso with Suga.

The core scene of the music video is a hallway confrontation scene that homages the corridor action sequence of "Old Boy." In the scene where BTS members dressed up in suits get out of the elevator and confront the opposition group, what the members took out was not a weapon. Unexpected props such as filial son of filial piety, traditional fans with the pattern of Samtaegeuk, Danso, and upside-down newspapers appeared, drawing laughter and admiration at the same time.

When @ShookyAppa tweeted in English, "What Sugar is holding is DANSO, a traditional Korean bamboo flute," @doc_gradus said, "I brought instruments and trident fans instead of weapons. BTS fights with music and culture." The tweet spread quickly with 295,000 views. "Music is their weapon," @SUGArlude said, while @harubom2017 "took culture and music with me as I literally went knocking on someone else's door. There's nothing more fitting than this. He is a genius in many layers."

@AshaNHanchard said, "These are kings of duality. Genius in a way that brings culture, music and humor to the doorstep of every household at the same time," said @K_ng116, "BTS always surprises with detail. The amount of knowledge and information contained in their art is sometimes better than reading an encyclopedia."

The Meaning of Three-Taegeuk Debt..."Symbol dating back to the Goguryeo and Silla periods"

Sportskeeda, a foreign media outlet specializing in K-pop, analyzed the symbolism of the trilateral debt in detail. In Samtaegeuk, three colors of red, blue, and yellow symbolize heaven, land, and humans, respectively, and its origin goes back to the Goguryeo and Silla periods (5th and 7th centuries) in Korea. The national flag of the Republic of Korea also features the Taegeuk pattern. Fans analyzed that the use of traditional fans instead of weapons in the fight scene is a symbolic choice of "confronting with culture and identity, not strength," beyond simple humor.

@yxxngichimoew said, "This idea is so sexy. "I like cultured people who love culture," said @Karen, "I don't know how well these objects really fit as an eyewitness to show the group."

Suga's Danso..."When I was young, the kid who got hit by the Danso"

There is a deeper fandom story hidden in Suga's Danso. Among fans, it is widely known that Suga (Min Yoon-ki) was hit near his ear with a danso by a friend named "Gwanchang" as a child. Although it is not an officially confirmed story, it is an episode that has been talked about in the fandom for a long time. @sweeney_teng said, "Yoon-gi got hit in the head with a danso in elementary school. It's time for revenge," he said, and @blunt_object combined filial piety and Danso to express it as "the ultimate item of Asian parents," drawing sympathy from fans.

Fans who initially mistook the Danso for another item also reacted. Several fans, including @bunnykooJK, @frg_tflx, and @vvinali, burst into laughter, saying, "At first, I thought Jungkook was holding a lollipop," and @JuneTalks2Walls said, "My nephew actually fanned the trapezoidal fan I bought from Korea during the school exchange program." "I broke it," he told the story, and there were a lot of sympathetic comments.

"Kim Gu-nim would be very pleased," @MLindaforHope said, pointing to the Korean cultural context of the music video, while @mathofa3vinity linked it with, "Like the same teacher RM mentioned in 'Aliens.'
