What is really fascinating to me is the way they used so many different mediums to tell the story. The songs and their MVs, the webtoon, the mobile game, the notes that ended up being books, the short films, and they're even making a K-drama out of it. The notes were literally slips of paper with text on them snuck into an album's content. The Map of the Soul: 7 album had a note in it, so I have that one. Of course, it's in Hangul, which I'm not fluent enough in to read. Oh, and just so you know. There are fan subbed versions of all of these that include translations of all of the written and spoken stuff in the BU videos.
There’s definitely many sides to the BU. I find that only very very few realize what the storyline is from the music videos, so don’t feel too bad that you’re confused. You are definitely getting the symbolisms about themes of Youth and growing up and life. And then there’s the other side of the BU, which are the tie-ins to “Demian” by Hermann Hesse (also about Youth).
That whistle actually saved his life. YES I’m not leaving many comments on your BU reactions bc I would just become an incoherent blabbering mess, but I’m absolutely loving them and your honest insights and stories. 💜 Borahae (Also RM dropping a new album in May with 5 MVs)
Don’t know if you’ll have the time but you should read the webtoon. It pretty much has the main storyline of this whole universe w everything else kind of adding to it. It will give you at least 60% more knowledge and you won’t be so overwhelmed when you watch the xceleste explained video.
I'm so sorry for your loss and traumatic memory. Don't worry, it's ok to share. 💜💜 I also can relate to some part of the BU. It's an universal story, very real behind the symbolism. Stigma : Tae scratches a graffiti of Abraxas (the God of good and evil in Demian) > remember the scratches. He asks for a call, but the phone booth is chained. For the rest, you are right, the puppies means innocence. He lost it cuz he lives with an abusive father and became a delinquent to cope. First love : the wistling came from 'Begin' > JK pairing. You are right, the wistling saves him cuz you can see a splash of blood on the road where he avoids the car (kinda SPOIL but not really, just a hint : so you can see what could happend or what happend in another 'timeline') The piano on fire: the explanation comes later... There is also Jimin's bathtub + the Wings symbols (appel+piano) > New pairing? eheheh ^^
So sorry to hear about your cousin. Thank you for sharing your stories. I feel you, it’s the same in the Philippines. Kids get hit alot.. Hang in there - BU is very confusing.The whistle you heard, are the first notes of Jk’s song Begin.
Thank you for your reaction, Lori. I am so sorry for your loss. That must have been so traumatic for you for anyone really but especially a six year old. I am so sorry this happened to you.
Lori I want to send you a great big hug. You are definitely so brave to analyze when you have dealt with the sadness as regards your cousin. And V definitely has that ability to pull at your heartstrings with his acting abilities. He can look so vulnerable to the very depths! Or V can look so powerful like he can handle anything. I guess it's just part of his duality which he seems to excel in in so many ways. You're also so very wise when you bring out the point that it's good to be alone sometimes because it helps you to come back to who you truly are. That's such a good point. It's good to share time with others but it's also good to have that alone time to appreciate who you are as a person. Your heart is big and I appreciate your reactions. Honestly you get more out of these videos than you even realize. Some of them are very upbeat and happy and some of them are very deep and heartfelt but whichever way it goes it is just wonderful to take this journey with you. 💜💜💜💜
I don't know if you would want to start a book club. Let us know what your reading and we can read along with you.😊 If you have the time. Good reaction. Just as confused as you.😅 See you soon.💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Мне так жаль, что тебе пришлось пережить такое в детстве, и твоему кузену... Так страшно, когда неспособность взрослых справиться с чем-то выливается в жестокость и насилие к детям, к тем, кто по определению слабее и не может ответить. А ведь эти дети тоже когда-нибудь вырастут, если им позволят. Замкнутый круг. Твой кругозор довольно широк, Lory, не принижай себя! 💜 Невозможно знать всё на свете, хотя можно стремиться к этому, хех. 🤭 Поощрение в умах людей стремления развиваться, что, как ты и сказала, делают BTS, позволяет видеть этих парней в совершенно особенном свете. Кстати, в твоих умозаключениях я тоже вижу кое-что, чего не встречала ещё у других реакторов, так что ты права в словах о "свежем взгляде".☺️ Мне очень нравится сопровождать тебя в этом путешествии! 🛤️
rEALLY i WISH i'LL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT WHAT I'VE BEEN LEARNING IN ABOUT 20 YEARS OF ME LEARNING ABOUT SOUT KOREA ! I'm a retired teacher , 34 years of educating romanian kids and , also, trying to help growing adolescents !💚💜💚💜💚💜💚💜
