Yup, it is a cultural reset. It is one because the stage and his outfits show exactly how he's felt his entire life as an idol - alone, glamorized (as evident from the outfits), as if he's in a movie all the time (with the cameras during the dance break) https://twitter.com/kookdice/status/1315253898282627072

Alone because during the beginning of the song he was surrounded by only himself, because he's so famous that he's living in a world where people/the media, some fans, are obsessed with him but it's hard for him to find someone who's intellectually and emotionally on his level

Like I know he's looking gorgeous, but that's exactly what the point of the performance was. All of us end up focusing on his physical attributes (just like this thread), then end up forgetting what the real point was behind this performance
