I don't think it's Islamophobic. Most people don't know what Allahu Akbar means or how people use it, so they associate the song with something negative. The overall song is not a critique of just one religion or belief system.

Most of the time I just end up writing about the entries that go unclaimed by other writers for Genius Korea lists. But I specifically claimed Indigo by RM because of how much the lyrics of the album resonated with me. He is the best lyricist in K-Pop rn. I will die on that hill!
K-Pop not only offers us catchy tunes to dance along to, but it also offers cohesive projects to properly immerse ourselves into.
As 2023 comes to an end, join the Genius Korea community in looking back at some of the best K-Pop albums of the year!

I debated about this score a lot cause I didn’t want it to be biased. Then I spoke with six different people all non-fans and I concluded that it is indeed a 5/5 album.
Also it was so much fun analyzing their lyrics again! My favorite part about writing reviews!
While TXT draws on their past works, they avoid slumming in redundancy. Instead, they continue to be innovative and challenge themselves both sonically and lyrically on the new album!

Kpop fans take free fan labor for granted too much. In reality, the only ones with real responsibilities and duties are the companies and the staff that get PAID to be there! Fanbases, fan translators, update accounts, etc, don't owe you shit! They do it out of their love!
