So sad.
We work so hard...
Dude, all the views are fours and eights.
Eight is lucky in Asian.
- And four is unlucky. - And four is bad, ooh.
Oh no.
But then 4 plus 4 equals 8,

Yeah.
Oh! He's got a giraffe costume!
- Oh did he? Where? - Someone does, keep going...
We'll see it, we'll see it.
I think so.
I know what I want!
Filters!
Jimin's a dragon.
Maybe it's the Chinese calendar.
Dude, look at those...
Aztec stuff.
Woah.
Woahhhhh.
They're yellow/black. Good colour combo.
- Dude! - I—love.
Dude this is too much. -Um
What is happening?
There's—they're tripping on there.
Maybe they're like, go high or something.
- Is that what it's like to...trip out on BTS? - Pink.
Uh!
- Oh! Oh, oh, oh. - Seductive.

Woah!
Looney Tunes!

You see that yellow thing that just shoots up?

It's a luxury, I do my thang...
- I do my thang, I love myself! - I love myself! Uhh!
I love my fans!
Dude they're flexing hard!
Woah! Dude look at those bandits!
Who are those people...?
Extra dancers I think.
That's us!
Just do it, do it.
We're actually BTS backstage dancers, like...
Backup dancers.
Uhh.
Rabbits.
Oh wait.
- Woah! Shark! - Whoa why is there a shark?
- Dude, so many animals! So like... - Why?
- Asian. - Oh dude...Rap Monster's hair colour's amazing.
We need to get epic outfits for our show.
- Yeah. - Well at least...
One like crazy jumper...hoodie...shoes, whatever.
- We need to get gigantic anime versions of us. - Yeah.
Yeah!
It's...yeah, it's catchy, huh?
Dude is that...?
Don't worry.
- So a Chinese Asian mountain! - Ohh...dude, Jimin with the fan...!
Killing it!
Tiger!
Gucci!
Ohhh!!!
Dude, there—that's us!
I wanna be one of those backup dancers.
That'll be like, my life accomplish—
- Nah, I wanna be that line! - Yeah, that line.
We're the line.
Bach, what do you think?
Ooh yeah mate.
That's uh, very catchy!
Ohh oh ooh ooh!
Bum badum bum brrrrumble.
Ursoo.
- Yeah. I love how, at the front... - Saxophone...
Now they're sitting like this, at the front, they were...
- Facing back, they're like... - Uhhhhhhhh.
"You messing with us?"
That's right.
*bleep*
This is funny. What do you think, as classically trained...
Musicians, when you see something like this.
Because on one hand...
And I know most...
- Of classical musicians today... - Mm-hmm...
- Are aware and probably are fans of BTS, right? - Yeah.
Like...a lot of our fans, overall, are BTS fans.
But then you also have like...
The kind of...
More elite classical people, which are kind of like...
LOOK AT WHAT TODAY'S MUSIC HAS TURNED INTO.
IT'S JUST, LIKE...
- REPETITIVE DRONES AND... - YEAH YEAH...
Yeah, what do you think about that?
To be fair, I think...I used to think like that as well.
Yeah?
But then, after a while, it's like...
Doesn't even matter, it's just good music.
- What changed? - Yeah, what made me decide knowing—
- So what made you decide this is good music now? - Put on my...classical music hat.
Um...
It's not just the music for me, it's visuals and everything they do.
I think it's combination of dancing, visuals and music.
- So it's the whole package. - Whole package, right.
That's true.
If it's just the music, I mean, yeah I like the music,
but I think what makes it is what I see.
Yeah.
Like...
Like the effort that went into it,
I can really appreciate all of that.
You know?
So then, do you think,
when you go to orchestral concert,
there's also the whole package that you're seeing?
- Or the orchestra— - Yeah, I think so, yeah, of course.
- Yeah... - It's always funny when like classical musicians
talk about K-pop, with like, classical ears...
But um, something I noticed that's interesting is it's...
It's almost like the music is very...
Deliberately...
I don't wanna say...
Picking my words carefully cuz
- I don't wanna get destroyed! - Get attacked by everyone!
But...
The music is kinda...simplified...
- To become as effective as possible in being catchy. - Yeah.
There's nothing bad about that.
- Because... - So don't attack, it's just...
*laughs* Let me just repeat what Eddy said.
It's simplified to become...
- Catchy in the most effective way. - Yeah.
Because...if you were to do like—
Like no one's gonna listen to a 1 hour long Mahler symphony...
No.
And get like, 44 million views.
Music that is...written in the simplified form...
Can relate to wider audiences,
and there's nothing wrong about that!
And...yeah... *laughs*
Anyway, that's our...
- Professional, classical hat input... - Yeah.
Really, if we just take off the classical hat...
We just think it's a dope ass song,
and I love BTS...oh my God...
Urrrrrgggghhhhhhh.......
But Ling Ling is still 8th member, so one day...
You may see Ling Ling show up.
