The all-boy group from South Korea, known to belt out universally bestselling dance hits with awe-inspiring synchronisation in their movement in MVs like, “Fire”, “Not Today”, “Dope”, “Mic Drop”, says it would be a toss-up between their 2018 song “Idol” and last year’s “ON” when it comes to selecting their hardest number.
For the seven-member band, BTS, it would seem a big task to even narrow down the count to two, given that they’ve hardly churned out anything yet that doesn’t mesmerise their ever-growing fan base.
But then, RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook tell IANS “the harder the job, the greater the satisfaction”.
“I think the choreography for ON was the hardest. There were a lot of things we had to pay attention to, including the technical aspects of the choreography and the overall vibe of the dance,” says J-Hope. Other BTS members SUGA and V chime in agreeing, about “ON” being “the most difficult”.
BTS member Jimin, who is the lead vocalist and foremost in the dance line, says: “When it comes to the level of difficulty, it’s definitely ON. We haven’t performed the song in front of our fans in person, so I really want to show them.”
“ON was a song with difficult moves and consumed a lot of stamina,” BTS member Jung Kook says, explaining why it is their hardest.
RM, though, is undecided between the two — the choice for him could be either “Idol” or “ON”. Jin is sure of his reply, though he seems to think differently from his bandmates. “IDOL was the most difficult for us because it is a song that required constant movement with no break in between,” The BTS member reasons.
Right now, as their new single “Butter” continues to break records, BTS, or Bangtan Sonyeondan, are touching the skies of massive success as no other group has done in recent times anywhere in the world, riding a wave few musicians have done in the history of popular music.
In the era of inclusivity, when the world is constantly looking for new twists in entertainment, the band has struck a fresh appeal with their difficult yet perfectly synchronised, pleasant-to-the-eyes dancing skills and, of course, their music that they compose. —IANS
