BT21 and the entrance of K-pop into commercialism and art

The world’s largest K-pop group and one of the most prominent artists internationally is BTS, or Bangtan Sonyeondan in Hangul. BTS’s world domination is not merely because of their catchy songs or iconic synchronous dances, but because of the work they have put into creating a brand for themselves and inserting that brand into every aspect of commercial life. One of the most popular brands that BTS has created and has helped strengthen their presence as artists is their collaboration with Line Friends, BT21. Line is a popular East Asian chat app, and Line Friends is their commercial avatar brand that sells plush toys, clothing, and almost anything with cute characters. This really plays into the emphasis on cuteness that East Asian markets appreciate, and with the help of BTS the brand has been able to take off into the Western markets as well.  Each member of BTS created their own avatar: leader RM created a blue koala named Koya, Suga a angry cookie named Shooky, Jin a loveable alpaca named RJ, J-Hope a blue and purple dancing horse named Mang, Jimin a white dog wearing a yellow hoodie named Chimmy, V a heart-shaped alien named Tata, and Jungkook a pink bunny named Cooky. 

The band also designed a alien rocketship named VAN to represent their fanbase, ARMY. BT21 is featured in a multitude of products and even has short animation films that are dedicated to showcasing the antics and lives of these characters and their relationships with each other. BT21 was created by BTS to send an uplifting image to their fanbase and show how strong the power of friendship is. BTS makes sure to connect themselves to these characters as well, as they are often featured in videos by Line Friends creating new story plots for their characters and helping with developing other characters. BT21 has taken off to the point that Line Friends has subsequently released entire families and friends of each of these characters to further the BTS multiverse. 

Though this is not the traditional view of East Asian art, this is very much a modern representation of how popular culture has entered the art sphere. Much like with Takashi Murakami, BT21 has shown how even the highest of the “low” art can get a new generation of people interested in art. I feel that often people who appreciate “high” art look down upon commercialized business art however BT21 demonstrates the success that can come from it. By creating this art, these characters, the band BTS has been able to not only create a whole new era of merchandise for fans but also introduce the whole world to a new form of art. These characters transcend more than just the merchandising sphere, they are featured in animation, photography, and even fashion. BT21 is truly a revolutionary group of characters and I am excited to see other artists emulate the same model that BTS has.

you said you're getting back into kpop? which groups do you like? ^^

So far, it's BTS/Bangtan Sonyeondan. Mostly because of the cute characters they created on a collaboration with LINE Friends, BT21.

It's so darn cute and quirky. The boys are quite creative...

And also because their fans, the Armies, were the most vocal group when they hijacked the white supremacist tags. Plus, the boys are quite cute-looking themselves.

I've distanced myself from k-pop because most fans treat their idols, real life people, like objects; like making imagines, headcanons, shipping them and the like, as if they were fictional characters. I have no beef with the music genre itself, but I do have a beef with this very specific group of fans who disrespect their privacies.

But, I guess I'm willing to stomach it all if there's a group of fans willing to fight against the forces of systematic evil in their own unique way. 'Cause fuck the system, that's why.
