How I got hooked on KPOP

I first got hooked on KPOP idols when I saw the music video for "Blood Sweat &Tears" by BTS. This song is the title track of BTS's second full-length album "WINGS" released in October 2016. The music video currently has 900 million views.

 I love the world created in this "Blood Sweat &Tears" music video.  I have watched it so many times. The Japanese version expresses the song in a completely differently way compared to the Korean version. They make music videos differently even though they are basically the same song, and both are very nice. I prefer the way the song is expressed of the Korean version.

I like Renaissance paintings, so the Korean version reminds me of Leonardo da Vinci's Last Supper, which is why I like it. There is an atmosphere in this music video that reminds me of being in a painting, or like being in a different world. And the costumes of the members are very nice. Each scene of this music video is so attractive to me.

ENHYPEN

ENHYPEN, which was created through an audition by the same producer as BTS, is a little bit similar to BTS. I especially love the way their songs “GIVEN-TAKEN” and “DRUNK-DAYZED” are expressed in the music video. ENHYPEN has been depicted with the vampire concept since their debut song, and the two music videos for these songs are exactly inspired by the vampire concept. The stage set and costumes have a retro atmosphere that I love.
