Abstract

The Construction Meaning of a hypocrite on BTS' Spine Breaker Song. Bangtan Boys with its popular name, the BTS, is known as a Korean pop music group (K-pop) concerned with a strong social message. Through a song called “Spine Breaker” by BTS this research examines the meaning of hypocrisy among students in Korea. The study uses a qualitative descriptive approach with the semiotic analysis method of Ferdinand de Saussure. We observe all the song lyrics of “Spine Breaker” as primary data, and by a literature review and observation technique. It applies a simple coding process through meaning-making (signified) steps of the entire lyrics for formulating key concepts. The construction of meaning is carried out with three key concepts: the student’s status, the role of parents, and the educational system. With a lavish lifestyle, students send a message to their societies that they are “rich”, but, in fact, in everyday life, they come from “poor” families. This collided message from the “Spine Breaker” song by BTS constructs the hypocritical.
