This performance of Idol will always be my favorite. It’s such a beautiful display of their Korean culture, the old and the new. History making. 😊

❣️ JIMIN even received an award from Cultural Conservation Society for his epic Fan Dance, from the 2018 MMA, BTS "Idol" intro fan dance performance, making Jimin the first and only musician in Korean history to be awarded 3 National awards. The "plaque of appreciation" that fan award is one of the most prestigious award. Jimin is the only artist to hold 3 national awards, BTS members all have two awards but Jimin is the only member and idol to hold 3awards. Detailed info links are in reply.

This performance completely changed my opinion of Idol as a song. It went from just okay to one of my favorite songs. I wish they would release an audio version using the traditional Korean instrumental.

Jimin😍😍

This performance is amazing 🔥💜 They put all they have 110% into every live, in everything they do really 💜🔥✌️

What has always impressed me about their music are the lyrics and then the beautiful music. The dancing is like icing on the cake.

For me Jimins close shots are like a cherry 🍒 on the exallent performance and unbelievable intro for Idol❤❤❤

Let me tell you, Idol is THE concert song. You see Idol in concert and its a life changing, religious experience. And this performance is perfection.

2018 MMA is my favorite of their year end award performances. The fact that they cut away from that insane fan kick, though, drives me batty every time. I don’t care about the crowd. Show me the guys doing their thing.

That must have been some show! The fans, the masks and scarves, the mythical lions, WOW Was this one of their award show setpieces?

No one does award show like BTS

My all time favorite IDOL performance ever! 🔥🔥🔥

MMA 2018 is another legendary performance of BTS. IDOL is only the last part of MMA2018… 😅

You need to see the whole perfomance from this show. Its 3 songs so not too long. But EPIC. And remember, this was an awards show. NOT a BTS concert.

아..영어로는 표현이...이게 한국의 미인데...영어가 짧아서... 넘나 아름다워서...ㅠㅠ bts 넘나 감사

Yes, this is your first time watching this performance. Literally crazy one. If you watch this, you will never forget about it.😉💜

Hello, great reaction. This presentation is epic for the traditional musicalization, the dance of the masks and the dragons. Excellent. Greetings 🇦🇷💜

Impressive is short to say how much they put into their art :)

I was watching a K-drama like 3 weeks ago and I screamed when I saw the JK dance being performed by ladies. I was yelling "Thats what JK was doing?!" It was nice to see it performed for the King in The Kings Affection.

These dances and the music is all Traditional Korean Music and Dance and it's BTS answer to those who said BTS had become too Westernised. The music and dance routines to Idol already had elements of Korean Traditional Dance and music in it yet they were still accused of being too Westernised. The song is a clap back at their haters on so many levels plus it's about loving yourself first before you can love others. Notice that BTS are wearing elements of traditional Korean Dress called Hanbok which consists of Jeogori (jacket) and baggy pants that are called Baji. The ladies drumming is traditional, as are the instruments, the 2 dancing 'Lions' and the men with the ribbons attached to their heads as the drum and dance. The white sleeve dance and the fan dance all traditional Korean forms of dance. Fan dance is usually done only be women so for Jimin to do it was very special.

울 탄이들 다시 봐도 감동 👍 넘 자랑스러워 ~~ 👍 😊❤

Eles São Os melhores 🔥💜👑

Evening couch family and Roscoe.. Some may remember me some are new and have no idea who I am. Though I digress.. Sorry I am not around much anymore I am working 2 jobs now looking for a 3rd one. Though when I saw this I just wanted to comment that this song saved and changed me. I was in very dark times. I wanted to just give up and I was watching you tube and this video played and when they sang... you can't stop me from loving myself, It was like a switch was flipped and it was a battled but I made it . Thank you for everything you do Roscoe... I miss y'all and even though i may not be here like i used to just know I haven't forgotten.. I purple you..

Lost my entire message Roscoe, so… Thank you for your reaction on their ‘live’ performances. It didn’t go unnoticed💜

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤Респект💪🔥

If no one has still commented, during this performance, the other artists present, since this is an AWARD SHOW not a concert, needed to hold onto their seats, because the whole stadium was shaking wildly and uncontrollably. You can check out a fancam of it around here on YT, it was really intense.

AMAZING!

Gran reacción y esa presentación fue epica

😝😍😘 THANK YOU! ONE OF MY FAVORITE PERFORMANCES/AWARDS SHOW!🤩 They Killed It! BORAHAE 😚💜

The level of their entertainment is just unsurpassed for me. Wait until you see their performance of Dionysis from same award show.

Thanks! I love BTS 🥰💜🇧🇷

I was watching this very early in the morning…hubby still sleeping…headphones on…hiding my phone under the blankets like I was 10 years old sneaking my phone instead of sleeping. Thinking I was being quiet and non disturbing. WRONGO😩 My hubby taps me on my shoulder and says “What in the world are you doing?” Apparently I was wiggling and saying CHA😂🤭😂🤭😂🤭😂Then I couldn’t lie….”I’m watching @Roscoe and BTS” He said “I have no words” 🤣🤣🤣

I recommend mama2018 in Hong Kong The energy 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Am I the only one that noticed RM's robe and the backdrop matched at his rap at the beginning?

I really liked this and how immersive it was. Another one I recommend is at least the intro to and Blood Sweat and Tears in the 2016 MAMA awards. Not every version has the end of BSaT with a little drama with V and Jin and the Boy Meets Evil dance beforehand. Make sure you have one that has both (I can give you a link if necessary).

They are awesome

And we wondered how they would ever top it 😂😂😂

The way the Korean traditional dance culture is so well mixed into a pop song ! And the intro where JHope, JM and JK did their respective solos, wow!!!!! They were only 25, 23, and 21 and can each solo and hold the Attn of thousands of audience⚡️BTS 💟

💜

JK❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Aside from how astonishingly good this is🥰🥰🥰, is there a reason why the little green box (upper right on the screen) says MMA 2019, but you label it 2018? It’s 2018, right?💜

I was waiting for you to see this ❤❤❤❤❤❤

❣️Okay... when was this live? Again, why did I not know or see this reaction? 🥺 THIS was a request I made a couple of times and I missed it! I really wanted to see Captain's reaction to their performance and especially their modernized Hanboks, notably RM's! Wondering if he noticed the detail in the styling of it? 😉 I think I'll remain under here for the remainder of the video. 🛋️ Well, I don't think he noticed. But it's okay... still was memorable. 💜

👏👏👏👏👑 BTS Jin ♥️💜💜💜💜🇦🇷 Argentina

3j🔥🔥🔥🔥

@Roscoe just wanted to know their names…and now he can pick out those quick translations 👏🏻👏🏻 At the beginning we don’t know who’s who and now we can pick them out if a crowd by their earlobe 😂😂😂

💜🦌😊

That performance is phenomenal but nothing touching 2019 MMA Dionysis.

This performance of Idol was done this way with careful attention to the South Korean culture to shut down their haters, mostly underground hip-hop rap artists, who said they were sellouts and lost their heritage by going too global and were now westernized.

👵👋🫂💜

The mask represents the "Dokkaebi", Korean Goblins that only mess with evil people.

Yeah this sure told all the commenters "BTS is becoming too western. Betraying their roots" to Shut the Bleep Up.

They were getting a lot of flack at the time about being too western. Oh you want Korean how's this? They pulled out all the damn stops for this one.

Only thing I don’t like is they pan out to much mma is always doing that

💜
