‘bts’ a name merely need to be typed after on gogle with tons of searches and their global hit songs merely need any typo after “danaanana eh dannaanaana na……..”
We all are well aware and keen with k-entertainment, its evovlement along with its cinematography but have we ever look for hidden stories, the inspirations and the people behind who seems to be without face nevertheless than their charismatic talents.
Yes i am keeping my eye on dynamite a song which was releases on august 21,2020 but what makes this song so captivating that even in an interview with bbc news- a 73 years old women reveal “ even i am facing my last stages of life but still makes me remind my old days by listenig to dynamite”.
Now let’s delve into some unhold stories why 199 crore views matters for hybe and armies…. Still after 4 years and 5 days……..
How was the song written: david stewart and jessica agombar wrote “dynamite” over a zoom meeting early in the days of lockdown, aiming for something catchy, hopeful and energetic? Pieces of the lyrics were tweaked again and again making over and over to be more family friendly.
Cg vs. Real: even we look for the shop or the flying airplane graphic designer made it look as it’s seen from our point of view. Those retro cars and cityscapes were all digitally created and even the burgers were made by hands.
The danananana: this verse even get featured on 2023 world cup and on the launch period of samsung z fold but this signatute move wasn’t planned at all, it all got crafted along the mood and chemistry of bts.
Jimin’s iconic ‘finger move’: i bet you all remember the bang move. Totallt spontaneous but it was the last moment idea by the director because standing still felt awkward.
Fashion that look old but isnt: we all have seen our evergreen legend shri. Amitabh bachan ji or mr. Rajesh khanna. Those retrostylr outfits who once time rock over every industry but now view as thrifted shop goodies. Outfit director give n edge to this vintage style made it branded with the logo of gucci but the flare the theme all remebered as the # elvis preseley styled..
Cg rainbow isntead of real fireworks : a cgi rainbow replaced what was originlly intended to be a pyrotechinics shot with thouand of magnesium rockets and bombs lighting up the day sky but just at the last moment got changed to matched the cheerful vibes of the song.
Initail hesistation about the song: our worldwide handsom mr. Jin revealed that the members were firstly felt uneasy about doing a whole new song with english lyri cs- they had mixed feelings before it become their breakout smash. And as well we know rome wasn’t made in a day alike a simile they too think for it several months before deciding to give it a shot.
Why these details make it even more special;
- Humanity and humour; days were against and timeline wasn’t handy but behinf their mistakes, improvement, laughter all make it to the end.
- Creative brilliance: bts shows their simple yet powerful ideas, last minute ceohereos into iconic imaginery and ceogreograpy.
- Backstrory amplifies playback: even now when you rewatch the mv, every move , set piece and smile carries extra emotion and context and make it even richer with these untold tales.
It was my first song which i viewed on my gifted laptop , becoming a near-dear to my heart , so hereby i presents a little poem ;
UNDER THOSE NEON LIGHTS THAT NEVER WERE
THEY BUILD THE WORLD OF RETRO BLUR
CGI CARS, A RAINBOW SO BRIGHT,
ALL BORN FROM SCREENS, NOT CITY LIGHTS.
FOUR DAYS OF FILMING, LAUGHTER IN AIR,
IMPROVING STEPS SPUN EVERYWHERE.
BUT VOICES IN CHORUS, STEADY AND SO STRONG,
TURNED A DOUBT TO HOPE, INTO GLOBAL SONG.
