BTS' Jimin's pre-release single Smeraldo Garden Marching Band's (ft. Loco) meaningful aspects move fans
When fans spotted the use of sign language in BTS' Jimin's pre-release single, they were immediately reminded of the K-pop boy group's Permission To Dance, released on July 9, 2021. For the chorus choreography of the song, the members incorporated sign language to refer to words such as fun, dance, peace, happiness, etc.
During their reaction to the Permission To Dance music video, the members also commented on the importance and significance of using sign language in the choreography. Therefore, fans were happy to see the idol carry the tradition of incorporating sign language in the choreography as showcased by BTS in their previous track.
On the other hand, the Smeraldo Garden Marching Band also carried several other meaningful aspects to it. The song also acted as an ode to the relationship between BTS and ARMYs. One of its lyrics mentioned the date June 12, which stands as the K-pop boy group's debut showcase date. This also highlighted the first time BTS and ARMYs met one another.
Additionally, the song also refers to the fictional flower, Smeraldo, which intends to express, confess, and find love on behalf of someone unable to articulate those feelings.
