I've noticed this in the past, but in increasing frequency these days; there is an extreme amount of occult symbolism in kpop. Before you scoff, please hear me out! Analyze choreographies: How many choreographies themselves contain some form of devil horn gestures, triple 6 gestures, "as above so below" baphomet horn gestures, one eye gestures, "illuminati triangle" (Pyramid), Eye of Providence Gestures, and etc. Album covers and photoshoots as well. Not to mention in music videos with fallen angel depictions, forbidden fruit depictions, serpent depictions, mocking Christian faith in their videos,and etc. And before you say these are all coincidences, I can't find myself to agree. This isn't just one or two artists, songs, groups, or companies- it's present in many of such I'm going to be straightforward, I believe the industry is evil and filled with darkness, and that many celebrities have unfortunately became industry puppets to further satan's agenda. It's not hidden- they put it directly in your face. With how satan works is, he is very crafty in his conditioning, and those who will represent him, he uses to further his own desire and corrupt more people. Only when things start to go bad and his evil is unmasked that we realize we've been fooled, and after recieving the destruction of our minds and souls that we realize what we heeded was not the truth, and we need to be saved from the trap we've been caught in Matthew 7:15 (ESV) Jesus (Yeshua) said "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves." Even looking at the lyrics of some songs: they have suggestive meanings, subtle exposures of the system, hints at the compromise these artists have made, and what I feel are even cries for help Boy Meets Evil- Jhope The light of my future is dimming Because of my childish love, I lost my way on a path of dream The venom of my ambition, I sharpened my knife every day But because of my uncontrollable greed, my knife became dull I know it all This love is another name for the devil Don't hold their hand I shouted but I betrayed my own conscience The sharp realities that I feel more and more every day Red blood staining from being torn apart by reality I never thought that That greed would become the horn that calls upon hell Breathe I am getting out of breath At the twisted reality, I close my eyes every night The music box of tragedy echoes But in order to be free from this crime It's impossible to forget it and give up Because those lips were too sweet I threw my future away because I was drunk in love When I woke up, I was already surrounded by land mines Surrounded by people's stares that can't be touched I cry for a miracle in this reality (Rewind) It was crazy good I was an idiot addicted to the sweetness Yeah, an idiot I didn't want to let go of the devil's touch [Refrain: j-hope] Too bad but it's too sweet It's too sweet, it's too sweet Too bad but it's too sweet It's too sweet, it's too sweet Too bad but it's too sweet It's too sweet, it's too sweet Too bad but it's too sweet It's too sweet, it's too sweet Caught in a Lie - Jimin [Chorus: Jimin] Caught in a lie Find the me that was pure I can't be free from this lie Give me back my smile Caught in a lie Pull me from this hell I can't be free from this pain Save me, I am being punished You want me I've lost my way You want me Just like me every day I feel so far away You always come my way It repeats all over again (Ah woo-woo) Get away, away, away from me Get away, away from me (Ah woo-woo) Whoever it may be, save me, me Save me It continues even when I run away I am caught in a lie Exerpts from Crown- TXT Yeonjun]Verse 1: Beomgyu, Soobin, Yeonjun] That is not me who's staring blankly in the mirror (Yah, yah, yah) Dizzy headaches and there's Something on my head (Ah, ah-ah) I wanna run away and disappear far away (Yah, yah, yah) (Save me) Who am I? I don’t know who I am oh My body must have gone crazy There's a horn growing out of my head What do I do? I don't know how to stop it Oh, I'm the only evil thing in this world Save me, maybe I have turned into a monster Got no one but you (Ah, ah-ah Why is the world treating me like this? (Skrr) Suddenly there's a horn on my head now (Woo) Would there be forgiveness? Even for the devils? And then you spread your wings before my eyes There's a horn rising out of my head But I love it You became my crown This fluttering sensation My heart is mayhem But I love it We are finally perfect The two of us, us, In the Morning-Itzy [Post-Chorus: Ryujin & Chaeryeong] Target in the night, you don't even know (Ayy) Hit you like the mafia (Ayy) In the morning light, you don't even know (Ayy) Hit you like the mafia **[Verse 2: Yuna & Ryujin] Oscar worthy, got you fooled Playing innocent, but I'm a wolf (No) You don't have the faintest clue (Aha) I been planning for a while, baby. all systems are go (Brrah) [Pre-Chorus: Chaeryeong & Lia] Am I getting you, getting you just a little confused? You know I never could, never could stick to all of the rules Well it's finally, finally time to make up your mind Hope you're ready, who knows what could happen in the night? Matthew 24 (This entire chapter goes over the second coming of Christ, He warns us to stay awake and prepared for his coming, as He will be like a thief in the night to those who have been lulled to spiritual sleep; see 1 Thessalonians 5. For the second exerpt from the song shown, I'm unsure if that's correlated to this verse, I could totally be reading too deep into it. But it is something that came to mind, as the adversary can lull us to sleep through the media we consume if we aren't already aware of the agenda we should be denying) Mattew 24:43 But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what part of the night the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and would not have let his house be broken into. Strange (RM and Agust D) [Verse 1: Agust D] The world is a giant system In it, either opposition, war, or survival is inserted Life that we can't refuse With dreams as its collateral, the capitalism injects the morphine called 'hope' Wealth breeds wealth and tests greed The rich longs even for poverty In the world there's only black and white, those two In an endless zero-sum game, the very end is worth seeing Polarization is the ugliest flower in the world It's been long since the truth's been eaten away by the lies Who benefits the most? Just who suffers damage the most? [Verse 2: RM] You think you got taste? Oh babe, how do you know? I mean for God's sake Everything's under control The choices you’ve been given Are all preferences controlled by the capital People talk 'My feed explains me' No matter how much money is in your grasp Everyone's a slave to this system The dog necklace and dog house you are so busy bragging about All day, fighting over whose glimmer more Now even you won't know Oh baby, what's your name? Polarization, the flower that's already bloomed A round nail that has been hammered into a square hole Even so, I roll on, somehow, like this In each of their chicken coops, everyone claims they are fine I say all this to emphasize: Be watchful. Most mainstream media pushed toward us is for the purpose to program us to turn us away from God and Christ, and to worship satan and ourselves. There are promises of freedom, when it's disciples themselves are trapped in a life they want freedom from Yeshua Messiah is the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6) and the only authority given under heaven by which we are saved (Acts 4:12) For years I obsessed over kpop. I was convinced my favs saved me from my depression, I was glorifying people (why are we calling people "idols"? ) to an ungodly extent. The Lord opened my eyes in a way only He could, in the middle of my obsession. I'm not saying hate kpop, but hate the system that takes, exploits, and abuses others with artistic passion, and then uses them to lure others in to the same deception. I'm not saying hate Korean celebrities- we all need saving and are all prone to be lured into evil when we crave the fulfiment of certain desires. These people should be prayed for, and the darkness of the system they're bondage to, prayed against. Your fulfillment shouldn't come from parasocial relationships, nor from fame, nor possessions, and it won't even if we try. We were Created to be in relationship with the Most High, who gave His Own Son to to reconcile us to himself (1 Corinthians 5:21), and to give us peace life that is truly life.
