While IDOL is the title song of BTS' repackage album, LOVE YOURSELF: Answer, the song has blended in sounds of Korean instruments such as kkwaenggwari(a small flat gong used primarily in Korean folk music), and has included a few phrases from pansori(a Korean music genre of folk entertainment) such as "Eolssu" and "Deonggideok kungdeoreoreo".
Which one would be your ultimate one pick?

In fact, this is not the first time V's hairstyle went viral. On August 14, he uploaded a short video clip on Twitter, showing himself in vibrant pink hair color. Seeing this, fans raved on and on, saying, "He looks like an angel!" This clip is gathering a legendary response, passing over 4.9 million views in just 10 days.

Even before fans could settle their hearts down, V was seen in the so-called 'apple hair' in the album's concept photo L version. 'Apple hairstyle' is like the symbol of cuteness, as it refers to the style of tying a tiny bit of hair near the top of the head. Along with this cute hairstyle, his pose of poking his cheek completed an absolutely adorable look.
