I deleted the third comparison since it could cause confusion
You can’t deny that they used (Taylor Swift) as their reference
-That snake, though… Do they even know what that snake means to Taylor? How can they blatantly copy thatㅠㅠ This is so upsetting.
-Comparisons like these make it clear that knockoffs can’t catch up to the originals. I’m not defending the knockoffs.
-I don’t know if it’s because I’m a fan of Taylor, but I can’t accept it if they said the snake was just a coincidenceㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ What relation does BTS have to that snake?
-I think they copied Taylor too much, both the first and second comparisons.
-It’s funny that they can’t even copy properly and end up with that kind of qualityㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Those umbrellas look cheap.
-They’re copying Taylor’s concept like it’s a free source.
-Do they even know what that snake means to Taylor…?ㅋㅋ How can they just copy that? Especially with no context?
-I know what that snake means for Taylor, even as someone who is not really interested in pop singers… Why is there a snake on BTS’ stage? It’s so out of the blue.
-Taylor’s snake has context and a narrative… Out of all the animals, a snake?
-It looks like they bought those umbrellas at a convenience store and just added some lightingㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-The snake has something to do with Hermes or Asclepius; it has nothing to do with Dionysus.
