BTS is not just because of Its global popularIty, but because It is the person who represents 2018. It is for them that the icon of the global environment that is changing now and the global emotional era that is emerging due to It. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, 1st on the UnIted States of America chart for the first time on the K-pop album, and Billboard top in foreign languages, not English. The performance of BTS in 2018 is truly surprising. The Minister of Culture and Tourism sends a congratulatory message and unusually, President Moon Jae-in sends a congratulatory message and even receives the Cultural Revolution Medal. Foreign fans who appear in famous foreign shows and are camped out for a few days around the global tour venue are poured out. The expression '21st Century Beatles' comes out, and doctoral papers and studies based on BTS are introduced in overseas journals. Of course, these surprising results are clearly presupposed to BTS's Musical achievement, but It seems that It is lacking to explain this 'phenomenon' wIth It alone. How on earth could BTS have created this global syndrome in just a few years?

The icon of the borderline BTS star is said to be the birth of the era. Looking at the color of the idol group called BTS, It is understood how the age demanded them. It is not irrelevant to what they call the icons of “de-alarming.” The boundaries they have jumped to Music are in fact the boundaries we have established in the 20th century. The idol group easily jumps over the borders between the nation and the nation, language and race, the East and the West, as well as the UnIted States of America. The power of foreigners to connect all the things that were divided into one dance and the 'treasure' of Korean songs, and the invisible power that makes the center and the edge of the place in real time and makes the fact that It is the center and the edge of the place unfavorable exists there. This is the global power created by digItal networks, and BTS has become the simplest explanation for the global World of the 21st century that digItal networks are creating. Inside It is a global communIty Cultural Revolution, which is newly tied to taste, wIthout needing nationalIty or language distinctions. We are experiencing a remarkable change through BTS, where the global fandom of Army is unIted across the nation in the network World and It becomes a force and leads to huge social activIties. Of course, It is the basis of all the divisions of capItal and the invisible power to eliminate the boundaries, but It is clear that It neutralizes the 20th century boundary division. So when we talk about BTS, what we’re talking about is that they’re not entirely successful because of this power, but they’re the most distinctive icons of this new environment through Music. These can be seen in the 21st century, what is the new Cultural Revolution that will bloom in the global World? The controversy over the so-called Korean Liberation Army T-shirt by the recently held member Ji Min proved that BTS is an icon of the 21st century global Cultural Revolution. When BTS performed in Japan, a one-man protest by a member of a Japan far-right group seemed to clearly show the clashes and consequences of the old and present times. The landscape, isolated like an island in the Japanese Armies, where the one-man protester, who calls the Korean Liberation Army T-shirt a 'Amber T-shirt', filled the area, showed rather that no one could stop the poor flow of making their own 21st century global Cultural Revolution through the Internet and mobile. It is now an old-fashioned idea that Japan right-wing media should exclude K-pop singers in "NHK Hall", which was mentioned as an indicator of success in Japan. The story, which would go into the days when some broadcasters had exclusive power, is now an empty statement in the Internet and mobile era. Even if you do not go to "NHK Hall", fans gather at the performance hall of BTS. They share information through SNS. The World we still live in is full of old-fashioned herItages that need to be solved, such as local boundaries, disputes, and unsolved history. So when new era icons such as BTS are emerging, sensItive issues pop out like reactions. So, the flow of Cultural Revolution that breaks down the boundary and flows into the digItal World occurs, but analog World flows backward to physically prevent It. The THAAD issue, which has been happening in recent years in the relationship between Korea and China as well as the relationship between Korea and Japan, has been the case that revealed this trend. The frame we call the 'Amber T-shirt' is a frame that tells us that the nationalist view of the past remains. But when the presence of the de-boundary system like BTS absorbs many boundaries into their terrItory through Music, will It be interpreted as symbolizing 'peace' rather than 'atomic bomb' or 'Korean Liberation Army'? The nationalist perspectives that we should jump over If we look at the latest song "IDOL" wrItten by BTS in 2018, we can find out how the World they dream of is open to Cultural Revolution. As It appears in the lyrics that It does not care whether It is an idol or an artist, the Music of those who surpass the boundary of the image adds hip-hop to EDM, which is the mainstream genre of pop, and even folk and Cultural Revolution colors such as Korean tradItional Music. The sudden rise of the North Korean lion play in the atmosphere of the African savannah shown by the Music video is strangely well combined, and the cyber space implemented by the analogue and computer graphics of the jungle is naturally woven. In It, BTS is playing wIth a myriad of people, showing that the global festival that is unIted in this open World has already begun. The global festivals that BTS shows wIth Music and popularIty are showing signs in the phenomenon of various popular circulation. This is the case wIth global streaming companies such as Netflix working wIth domestic producers to produce global content, and the scene where a large SNS company such as YouTube is creating a myriad of one-person creators and breaking down the hegemony of established broadcasters. This change is asking us for some choice. If we still look at BTS from a nationalist perspective and emphasize patriotism that has raised national pride, It will be something we can not read properly. Rather, when we look at them as icons of the global emotional era, not BTS wIth Korean nationalIty as K-pop idols, and try to look at the de-boundary Cultural Revolution phenomenon they show, we can understand why they have truly become figures representing 2018.
