BTS, in their song, compare themselves to the character Anpanman. The artists said they wanted to convey their desire to give people hope through their music and performances. By comparing themselves to not the world’s strongest hero, but the world’s weakest hero, they want to spread the idea that rather than being a hero just because you’re strong, you can be a hero even if you’re weak.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Waiting for you, Anpanman
내겐 없지 알통이나 갑빠
내겐 없지 super car like Batman
되게 멋진 영웅이 내 낭만
But 줄 수 있는 건 오직 Anpan
꿈꿔왔네 hero like Superman
무릎팍까지는 것 따윈 두렵지 않아 (않아)
순수한 내 어릴 적의 망상
Eh, I'm not a superhero (ooh-ooh)
많은 것을 바라지마 eh
I can be your hero (ooh-ooh)
이런 말이 가당키나
한 일인지 모르겠어 정말 (정말)
근데 꼭 해야겠어요, 엄마
내가 아니면 누가할까?
Eh, you can call me, say "Anpanman"
Waiting for you Anpanman
(Lemme hear you say, lemme hear you say)
Waiting for you Anpanman
(Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up)
좀 더 힘을 내볼래
(Lemme hear you say, lemme hear you say)
너의 힘이 돼줄래
(Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up)
계속 돌려 돌려 나의 Anpan
Keep ballin', ballin', still 방탄
눈 뜨니 hero, but still in 미로
그 young man, young man, young man
계속 몰래 몰래 상처 만땅
But ballin', ballin', still 방탄
아파도 hero 두려움은 뒤로
Anpanman-panman-panman
I'm a new generation Anpanman
I'm a new superhero Anpanman
내가 가진 건 이 노래 한방
Lemme say, "All the bad men, cop out"
I'm a new generation Anpanman
I'm a new superhero Anpanman
내가 가진 건 이 노래 한방
Lemme say, "All the bad men, cop out"
가끔은 이 모든 게 두렵네
사랑하는 게 넘 많이 생겼기에
누군 말해, "너도 이제 꼰대 다 됐으"
자격 없어, 그냥 하던 거나 잘해
그래도 난 영웅이고파
줄 수 있는 건 단팥빵과 수고했단 말뿐이다만
부름 바로 날라갈게, 날 불러줘
Waiting for you Anpanman
(Lemme hear you say, lemme hear you say)
Waiting for you Anpanman
(Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up)
좀 더 힘을 내볼래
(Lemme hear you say, lemme hear you say)
너의 힘이 돼줄래
(Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up)
계속 돌려 돌려 나의 Anpan
Keep ballin', ballin', still 방탄
눈 뜨니 hero, but still in 미로
그 young man, young man, young man
계속 몰래 몰래 상처 만땅
But ballin', ballin', still 방탄
아파도 hero 두려움은 뒤로
Anpanman-panman-panman
솔직하게 무서워 넘어지는 게
너희들을 실망시키는 게
그래도 내 온 힘을 다해서라도
나 꼭 너의 곁에 있을게
다시 넘어지겠지만 (eh)
또다시 실수하겠지만 (eh-eh)
또 진흙투성이겠지만
나를 믿어, 나는 hero니까 yeah, yeah
계속 돌려 돌려 나의 Anpan (yeah)
Keep ballin', ballin', still 방탄
눈 뜨니 hero, but still in 미로
그 young man, young man, young man

Whoa, oh
The song "Anpanman" by BTS is a tribute to Yasuhiro Towa's famous Japanese cartoon character of the same name. It's a song about being a hero and helping others, without the heroic persona that society expects. The song's title comes from the character of Anpanman, who has a bean-jam filled pastry for a head, which he can remove and give to those in need, embodying the idea of selfless giving.
The lyrics of the song talk about how the band members are not caped superheroes like Batman or Superman—with supercars and skyscrapers as backgrounds. But they can be heroes in their own way, and Anpan is their power to do so. As they say, "계속 돌려 돌려 나의 Anpan, Keep ballin' ballin' still 방탄" which means that even though they may feel lost sometimes like they're "still in the maze," they're determined to keep going and help others.
The song is a reminder to people that you don't need a specific look or persona to be considered a hero. You can simply be someone who gives their best to help others, whether it's a small or big gesture. The song has become an inspiration to many people worldwide, especially the young generation.
