( music playing ) K-pop is huge. And the hugest K-pop band of all is BTS, which doesn’t mean “behind the scenes.” It means, “Beyond the Scene.” – Well. – Totally different. Right, because that’s how far they’ve… – …g-gone. – Right. Super entertaining band. You do not have to know what they’re saying to be entertained by them because their music videos which have millions and millions and millions of views are incredibly entertaining. – And they’re mostly in Korean? – Yeah, a little of English, a lot of Korean. Here’s what I’m gonna do. I’m gonna show you a BTS music video and give you some options as to what they might be singing about. – Okay. – Now, we have used the site, Genius, to help us translate these lyrics. And it’s a very respected translation site. So it may not be completely 100% right, but don’t be so critical! It’s almost right. Also, their fans are called “The Army,” so we don’t want The Army coming after us. – So, we respect BTS. We respect them. – Go, Army, we love– – we love Army. – Okay, here’s the first one, Link. This is called, “Spring Day.” – Let’s take a look. – Okay. ( music playing ) Link: He’s on a pile of clothes. Rhett: Look at that. I don’t know if the clothes are dirty or clean. It’s like a Salvation Army… – …pile. – ( mocking ) P-pile. Is this–its this, uh, recycling related? Well, you don’t even have to start guessing, – ’cause I’m gonna give you choices. – Okay. – Your brain doesn’t have to work that hard. – Okay, good. Link: Is this song about… – ( laughter ) – There’s so many of those that get away. I’m trying to relate it to laundry. – ( mocking ) Laundry? – But I know that you’re just messing around with “C”, so I’m taking that off the table. – Um… – Yeah, but why would there be so much laundry? I think if you were finding out about your girl’s questionable past by going through the clothes that she left at your house, that it’s piled up because she never washed ’em! – ( laughs ) – Then you figure out something surprising. – Great insight. But wrong! – ( buzzer ) It’s “B”! They’re singing, “Until this cold winter ends, and the spring comes again,… and until the flowers bloom again, please stay there, a little longer, please stay there.” – ( laughter ) – I’m not sure where “there” is, but apparently it doesn’t have a washing machine. If those clothes are dirty I wouldn’t want to perch on them. Okay, well tell that to that guy. Next up, “Blood, Sweat, and Money.” – Let’s watch it. – Yeah, it’s my three favorite things. – ( music playing ) – Rhett: Whoa. Yeah. – Link: Whoa! Vaping! – Rhett: Vaping. – Rhett: Thank god. – Link: Blindfolded. Rhett: Vape, blindfolds, and floor lights. – Link: Hands. – Rhett: And lady hands. Rhett: So he is on a blindfolded leash through a door? No, that happened to me in the ’90s during the long-tie trend. – Oh, yeah. – Once got caught in a door just like that. – ( laughs ) – At the FLL dance. That’s how I pull all of my children’s teeth. – Really? – Yeah. With a blindfold around their eyes. You’re a great father. Is this song about, A: A girl that –all seven– of the band members are into and they want to literally die, B: Being spurned by your childhood crush, or C: A really unnecessary “Fifty Shades” sequel? And again, nothing in here about blindfolds. Nothing. You don’t have to sing about blindfolds when you wear them. – If you’re– – Typically you shouldn’t, I think. I think that this guy is trapped in a room where– where he cannot get or see uh, the girl that he’s in love with. So I’m going with “A.” There’s–all– all of them are into it. All–into her. – You’re right, Link! – ( chime ) Yes, the answer’s “A.” They are so into this girl, they sing, “I want you a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot. I want you a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot.” – I’m sure that’s catchier in Korean. – Yeah, yeah, yeah. And you know what? She probably would’ve gone out with them if had’ve added one more “a lot.” – Yeah. – That would’ve sealed the deal. That’s all the ladies want. All the ladies want is for you to like them a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot a lot. – A lot. – Not creepy at all. Question three– Next we have the song, “Serendipity.” Roll the confusion! – ( song plays ) – Link: Oh, lights! – Link: He just fell into a firework. – Rhett: Cheerios! – Link: Yeah. – Rhett: Water. Earthquakes. – Rhett: He’s so calm. – Link: They’re really pouring some money – into these music videos, man. – Rhett: Yeah, you would not believe. Link: Wow. The money it cost to get an ocean… – A lot. – To get the ocean to cooperate like that, – you have to pay it quite a lot. – Yeah. – A lot, a lot, a lot. – A lot…a lot. Is this song about “A” ( chokes ). – A-a-a-a. – Ayy. Rhett: Is this song about, “A,” Time traveling back to your childhood to find your one true love who got away, “B,” A love that is so real and so strong that it moves the universe and causes destiny itself to become jealous, or “C,” …bath salts. ( laughs ) I know you’re joking with your “C” answers, but those are the ones that always make the most sense. They make the most sense. That’s right. – Like– – So maybe it’s not a joke. Just try one. – ( laughter ) – Find out. There was no time travel device in that… – whole scene. – Uh-huh. I mean, you got a eyeball looking through a keyhole. And I didn’t know destiny itself could become jealous. – That is poetic. – Yup. I think that’s it because that is very lyrical. – You’re right, Link! B! – ( chime ) “The destiny is jealous of us. Just like you, I’m so scared. When you see me, when you touch me, The universe has moved for us.” – Wow! – Yeah. Now, I remember being alone with my high school girlfriend and my parents would knock on the door and say, ( shouting ) “Are you moving the universe in there?” – ( laughter ) – “You better not be!” It’s best just not to respond. – No response is a good response. – Just stay quiet. – Yeah. – And then they walk away. – Okay. – ( laughter ) This song is called, “Not Today”! Watch it. – ( music plays ) – Link: Ooh, running in a quarry. Rhett: Yeah, the old quarry run. Link: Being chased by some… people dressed in black. – There’s slo-mo happening. – Rhett: They’re dressed for time in a quarry. Link: The quarry just got real foggy. – Cue the dancers. – Rhett: Look at that. Whoa! What was– That was a huge freakin’ disk! I think it was a piece of ice! I don’t even know. That was a huge ice disk in the middle of a quarry. It could just be a giant diamond. That’s how much money they’re throwing into this. – Wow. – Is this song about, “A,” Outrunning your inner demons, “B,” persevering against all odds, or, “C,” The horrors of strip mining? – ( laughter ) – ( laughs ) The horr–again, that makes the most sense. – ( chuckles ) – “The horrors of strip mining.” The other two are– both seem rather boring. But I’m goint to say it’s, “Outrunning Your Inner Demons” because I saw them personified – by outer demons. – Yeah, Link, this was a difficult one to get. – ( buzzer ) – The answer’s “B.” – Oh. – In the song they actually sing, “Hey, crow ( bleep ) Everyone, hands up!” ( laughter ) – What? – “Crow ( bleep ).” – Really. – Yeah. I think– it’s Korean slang. It’s probably a good time to let you know that I would love for you to start calling me, – Crow ( bleep )! – You want me to call you what? – Crow ( bleep )! – Okay, we’ve reached our quota. – ( laughter ) – ( laughing ) All right. All right, Link, here’s your last chance. – Oh, my gosh. – You got two out of four. Crow ( bleep ) has one more question for ya. – I win something special– – Agh! I just went over their limit. – Yep. – I’m sorry. Take it back. I wanna know what I win if I’m really fightin’ hard. – You win a pile of laundry. – ( laughter ) – Aw, probably shouldn’t have told you that. – Can I sit on it, though? – Yeah, and more. Not now. And more. – Okay, okay. This song is called, “N.O.” Here it is. – Link: Uh-oh. Red pill. – Rhett: Oh. – Link: Grab it. Eat it. – Rhett: They do everything in unison. Link: Oh, there we go. Got a little “Matrix” action. Puts you into a dance video. Rhett: Look at that guy. He’s got a red tri– – Link: Rectangle. – Rhett: ( laughs ) Rectangle. Is that a triangle or a rectangle? These–boy. – You know– – I wanna be friends with these guys. Now we know where all the music video production value went. – Yeah, it went to Korea. – To Korea. Yeah, it left us, I’ll tell you that right now. No one here can justify making an expensive music video. Nope, not any more. What’s this song about? Is it “A,” when adults are like, “Hey, work hard at school and your life will probably be be better off, but you’re a bunch of hot pop stars,” so you’re like, “No thanks!”, “B”, being a prisoner for love, like Romeo and Juliet, but with way more dystopian dictatorship themes, or “C,” getting really into the men’s rights “Red Pill” subreddit. “Romeo and Juliet.” Hmm. This is for all the laundry. ( laughter ) You know what? I think this is– No thanks! “A.” – You’re right, Link! Congratulations! – ( chime ) The song is literally saying, “Who made us a study machine? It’s either number one or a failure. Adults made this frame, and we fall into this.” Of course! Exactly! Yeah, “Either number one or a failure,” are the same thing I say every time I use a plane bathroom. – You said it, Crow ( bleep )! – Thanks for “Liking,” – commenting, or subscribing! – I’m gonna sit on some laundry in a minute. You know what time it is. – Hi! I’m Jenny. – I’m Melissa. – I’m Chris. – And this is John. And we’re here at Isotope Stadium, Albuquerque, New Mexico. And it’s time to spin the Wheel of Mythicality. – There goes John. – Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho! Click the bottom link to watch this episode from the beginning.
