I'm only part way in so I'm not sure if you've figured it out but wanted to remember to tell you that "Y.K." is Yoongi...he says the official spelling is Yunki/ Yun-ki. (Yunki Min is what is written on his United Nations UNICEF badge, for example). From what I've read, they tend to spell their names how they think it would be phonetically pronounced internationally.. (but I'm not sure why because "gi" actually does sound more like "ki", like how you usually pronounce it!) Namjoon is also Nam-jun, and Jungkook is Jeong-guk (though as a soloist he's now decided the professional way to write his name is "Jung Kook", as two words🤷🏻♀️). You'll see the syllables separated sometimes, with or without the dashes, like Yoongi, Yoon Gi, Yoon-gi, Yunki, Yun Ki, Yun-ki.. So many ways to write their names romanized 😩
I never figured out the Bu by myself but I've listened to XCeleste a long time ago so I don't have all the ties. What I'm now noticing in this one is that the girls per say don't have a huge significance but maybe we can make some parallels with our pairs. Like when the girl dancing with with J-hope falls, we instantly see Jimin falls also in the same position. When we see Yoongi wanting to smoke the girl stops him like JK who does want to help him do better, ending up with the two arguing and Suga pushing her away like he pushed JK in the big fight they had. We see V and the girl doing graffitis and running away as he did with RM before. We see Jin in the car that seems to hit the girl although he's also waiting for her (2 time-lines?) That links to the car accident JK has that many Armys were debating if it was Jin who hit him. Anyway, don't take my words for anything more then random thoughts. We know now that as a child J-hope had an abandonment trauma but we still have no clue as to why Jimin ended up in the hospital nor if Jin has his own story. The butterfly effect changes situations and outcomes, Jin might play the butterfly at some point to try changing bad outcome for his friends. Like Lory, I'm trying here 💗
Jimin had a reason to be in hospitals all his life, I obviously don’t want to spoil but it’s in the notes and xceleste also goes into it. There’s also already signs of what jimins character in begin youth had to go through in the first four episodes.
Wow! I never thought of all that! I did see someone point out another cool Jimin/Jhope parallel though... in the scene where Jimin is standing with the umbrella and turns to walk away (in this video, it's at 13:48), you can see water markings on Jimin's shoulders that mirror the way the girl's arms are wrapped around Hobi's shoulders as he carries her (like at 13:28). Might be nothing, but it's conspicuous since Jimin is holding an umbrella, so his shirt shouldn't be wet at all.
Namjoon's little side-story with the hair-tie is so subtle, it's hard to catch the details! Basically, Namjoon sees this girl working a crappy, minimum wage job (handing out flyers) where she gets disrespected by people. This parallels what happens to him at his own gas station job (where customers toss the money on the ground), so he immediately feels a kinship with her. They both live in poverty... we see here how they ride the bus while Jin drives his own car, for example (not just that--we see Namjoon pay his bus fare with loose coins instead of swiping a card). And at one point (4:02 in your video), as the girl walks away from Namjoon, we see that her ponytail is tied up with a regular rubber band... probably because she can't afford little luxuries like a nice hair-tie. So Namjoon very thoughtfully notices and gets her one. But instead of giving it to her in person, he ends up just leaving it with her belongings while she sleeps. So unlike the other members who have nice interactions with their girls before things go sour and end poorly, Namjoon's story with his girl never got off the ground because he couldn't work up the guts to talk to her. 😅
YK just stands for Yoongi. The ㄱ in 윤기 can be romanized as either G or K. When deciding on the international spelling (for his official documents and such) Yoongi chose to use "G", though you occasionally see people write it as Yoon Ki, since both are technically correct. Meanwhile, Jungkook went the opposite route. He could have decided to spell his name "Jeongguk," which possibly would have made it more likely for English speakers to pronounce it correctly. But he chose "Jung Kook" (with the space) as his official spelling. Very stylish. Speaking of Korean language skills, I just have to say (again)... yours impress me so much! I was just catching up on the last few BU videos and the fact that you catch and understand some of the phrases/text is incredible, considering how many other languages you also command. I laugh every time you call yourself dumb 'cause like, the BU stuff is deliberately convoluted. You're obviously so smart. 💜
All these years I thought Jungkook's anima (or whatever she is) wasn't there because she got better and was discharged from the hospital, but her dying makes more sense. 😭 Unless I'm forgetting something🤔 Also yes, Namjoon does seem like he would be the perfect boyfriend/husband
Another thing I thought was really fascinating about this particular one was there's a consequence for every reaction. So when it showed Jin reverse the original reaction it changed everything. And it went back to the way it was before all that transpired. And what I got from that. Was emotions can take us places that may not be advantageous to one later on. Perhaps it's better to think things through then to act too quickly on our emotion. But that's not always easy to do. Wow there's just so much it's so deep
I admire your patience in following the story line. Even though we know it is fiction, there are many points where it intersects with their personalities and it is fascinating!
Две части этого видео так контрастны, что при первом просмотре это повергло меня в такой же шок, как и тебя, Lory. Я и сейчас не могу без слёз смотреть финал. И, боже мой, Джин такой замечательный актёр! Те эмоции, что он может передавать одним лишь взглядом и выражением лица, без единого слова, каждый раз заставляют меня замирать и просто чувствовать момент. Интересные мысли насчёт девушек! А машину я связывала с JK, потому что по хронологии это его первого сбила машина. И здесь я почему-то моментально увидела "эффект бабочки": Джин, путешествуя во времени/другим вселенным (точно не знаю), меняет что-то, например, спасает JK, но из-за этого страдает кто-то ещё, как здесь та девушка (мне пришло это в голову из-за аналогичных ситуаций), и так каждый раз, когда Джин пытается что-то изменить (нам показали эту обратную перемотку времени до того, как Джин поймал вазу в полёте, плюс в один из просмотров я обратила внимание на надпись на его кепке в последнем кадре). У меня пока нет чётких знаний о BU, кроме спойлеров к разным видео, которых я нахваталась по верхам, я словно растягиваю своё погружение в эту историю, хех, даже не смотрела никаких полных теорий. Я видела все MV и фильмы WINGS, но не читала вебтун и заметки, на данный момент мне нравится наблюдать за тем, как другие люди погружаются в BU и следить за их размышлениями, подтверждать свои собственные догадки или же видеть что-то новое с разных точек зрения. Мне кажется, я потеряю львиную долю удовольствия, если сразу посмотрю все объяснения. Так что... Я всё ещё с тобой в этом путешествии, Lory! 💜 Кстати, ты уже слушала "Euphoria", но тебе определённо придётся пересмотреть MV, так как там ооочень много кусочков пазлов BU, не то что бы они что-то однозначно объясняли, но я нашла там для себя ответы на некоторые загадки, увидела больше связей в истории. Как обычно, спасибо за реакцию, Lory! 🤗
The fact that Begins Youth is out and its on a very expensive inaccessible site is so sad..... Otherwise we could have just watched that series to understand the bangtan universe storyline.
Yeah, it’s a shame about the paid streaming platform…It looks so good!! The fact that a show about the BU exists is amazing! I dream that in the future it will become more available…
Hi Lory, I’ve been told a theory about the BU, and Jin’s role in relation to the other boys but I won’t elaborate, as you’re so invested in the BU storyline. Perhaps older ARMY can point you in the right direction for a full explanation? 💜
Love the girls in the story. They seem to bring normalcy and calm to their tragic lives in the story. Won't elaborate. I will enjoy your journey.😊 See you soon.💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
@@lorydannagr I have to tell you something, maybe it doesn't belong here, but I have to. I looked at a reactor that was new to me, it didn't have much of BTS, 3-4 songs but JK was the first and already a few songs his new song and with Usher and JK he said at the end JK why do you want to join BTS when you're back from the army you don't need them you don't have to be fun as a bachup dancer wow, I was angry and cold. I left a lot of comments afterwards to see how Army reacted. Surprisingly, almost everyone said yes to him😟
