  1. 11 Legendary Times K-Pop Borrowed From Greek Mythology
    Mar 22, 2019
    by hgordon

    Greek mythology is rife with dramatic, romantic, and heroic tales and deities â€” which makes it perfect inspiration for K-pop! Many K-pop acts have borrowed themes from Greek myths, each putting its own unique twist on these timeless tales and figures. Let’s take a look at 11 times K-pop reinterpreted Greek mythology, including a little background introduction to the fearless heroes, daunting gods, and mysterious monsters that inspired these epic songs and concepts!

    1. SF9 â€” Narcissus

    First up, the title track “Enough†off of SF9’s recent album “Narcissus†offers a reinterpretation of the Greek myth of a young hunter by the same name. Narcissus was known for his extraordinary beauty, but he scorned the many men and women who fell in love with him. When he rejected a nymph named Echo, who could only speak by repeating the words of others back to them, she became so heartbroken that she wasted away until she died, leaving nothing but her echoing voice. As heavenly punishment, Narcissus one day caught sight of his own reflection in a pool and became so deeply enamored with it that he could not bear to leave the water’s edge, where he remained until he died.

    Contrary to the lamentable ending of the myth, SF9’s song takes the tale’s theme of self-love and turns it into a positive, reassuring listeners that they are “beautiful enough†as they are. And the MV includes plenty of visual nods to the ancient story as the boys gaze at their reflections in various mirrors and pools.

  2. Can't wait for the MV teasers then. rlytearpls.png 

    ***I'm also very excited for this cb because i'm greek and their album is inspired from greek mythology.

    It's more close to Photograph I would say, but the song goes really hard and is really upbeat. A good mix of Now or Never + Roar. They're wearing red shirts/black leather pants (Chani is, for example), and other membres are wearing black shirts + red leathers pants and black shirts + jeans (at least from what the part I was able to see).

     

     

    Who would have thought that SF9's next concept would be greek mythology? Totally hyped for everything ahmagahplz.png
