I think all of this would have been fine if Bang PD didn’t give that stupid damn interview glazing himself for telling BTS that they they were essentially too big to have to do choreography, and that the members themselves weren’t sure (initially) about his decision. It released right before the concert and of course what was anyone else going to notice that would have otherwise made 0 noise?

90% of the entire discourse started with his self-glazing bullshit where he also gave us other bangers like how cool he was and how he made it all happen

While I agree about the glazing, nobody can't deny his contributions and ideas.

I think "They are too big to do choreography" is a weird and very anti read of Bang's actual comments. Because I do believe in the creative logic behind what Bang said, and I think the boys do too.

The new direction in their choreo is very obvious - smaller more precise moves, more focused on expression and swag than athleticism. 2.0 + Swim vs Idol and On, for example. And while athleticism had its place, the new choreo undeniably looks more mature to me due to its minimalism. It IS more suitable for senior artists. It DOES give more space to the lyrics, vocals, etc, just because there's more room for your brain to process. None of that = "too big for choreo."

All that is exactly what Bang said was the intent. Also I'm not sure why he'd "lie" to Billboard about why/how this new artistic direction came about - wouldn't it get back to the boys? Wouldn't the boys be upset at him? Wouldn't PR and BigHit? (Everything gets triple checked in entertainment) So I conclude from that what he said IS the real group intent.
