Abstract

K-Pop includes not only music and choreography, but also fashion and style. The K-Pop phenomenal group BTS member, SUGA, showed interest in Korean traditional attire in the music video for his solo song “Daechwita” (2020). This paper will analyze the Korean traditional attire and ornaments in BTS’s SUGA’s “Daecwhita” music video from a semiotics of fashion point of view using a descriptive qualitative method; and the purpose of referencing it in his music video. In the music video for “Daechwita”, SUGA finally tried to accept his real identity and criticize the music industry by combining a woven hat and a hat string that commoners in the Joseon era in Korea were forbidden to wear. Besides, SUGA also tried to do a self-reflection by killing a tyrant King who resembles his greediness and ambitions; so eventually he can be wiser, more mature, and more balanced to face the Korean music industry.
