when he closed the window……..that hit me in the guts bc it felt like a decision he purposely made to start finding himself. something like he stopped loving others so openly and started working on himself?
nope, i don’t really read theories cause i never understand it but i will still say that the whole storyline is really good and so put together like wow, they did that. and yesss jin did that 👏🏽
At the end of the journey to find myself, the place I reached is where I had started from.
Eventually in the end, what I needed to find was the beginning of all things, the direction of the map to the soul.
Something that everyone has but can’t find.
I’m trying to find that now.
at the end, it cld be interpreted as jin finally focusing on himself instead of giving without receiving or that the video recorder effect revealing the other members at the end represents how they’re just a memory of his now and he’s on his own OR if we want to get wild we can say it was all in his head in the first place and that it was a source of distraction from looking at himself introspectively. aka no one was ever dead and he was the only real person
jin since debut has been insecure of himself – of someone who doubts himself, of someone who works hard, to his sweat and bone to match his peers, a quality everyone in bts has acknowledged.
he has always been cast away in the side lines. “the visual? nah ’-insert member-’ is better. sub vocalist. can’t dance anyway.” the lyrics are resounding, deep, personal. it hit home to me like it did, to so many of us. hence the message at the end of the mv :
“i am back to where i started after the end of journeying in finding myself. what i need to find ultimately is the beginning of every milestone which is the map of a soul. that something that everyone has but not all can find…i am about to find it now.”
and then two short clips :
so the answer. love yourself : answer. the epiphany. loving yourself…isn’t something you do alone. that’s what jin found in the end. you learn to love yourself when you love others and they love you
