All you have to do is research a little, and read a bit about Carl Jungs theories. It's pretty simple at the basic level, and BTS has kept it very basic.

[@soobinluvr13]

So basically, bts told us no matter what u do in life, just trust/love yourself and your choices because this is your life and nobody else’s, wow. They’re like the best motivator in my life. Also, thank you for making these explained videos, it really helped me understand the music/music video and it also gave more depth to it.💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

[@joym-ah5482]

I think so too, and choices are to be made within reason of course ;).

[@hararingloss3304]

There's a little bit more than that, now that you put it that way, you're totally right, and it matches with what Namjoon said at the UN. Speak yourself. Like, you are your own person and the only one responsable of what you want to do and with your choices. Because, as kids we get denied or forced into things we don't want. Like, study certain career or practice something or stop practicing something and in the end, as adults, we can grow to regret stuff. And it's a really good message, both from the song and the speech, because as a young ARMY sometimes you have this problems, and as an adult ARMY you have regrets, and in the end, even with the things you didn't do, you are still you, and it's really something beautiful.

[@pointofcami6565]

Ego is basically promoting the quote “my way or the highway” in a sugarcoated way which I love.

[@alyssahanson9869]

As someone who is a graduate student in Human Development and Family Studies, your analysis seems pretty accurate to me. Granted, I have limited knowledge on Jungian theory because psychoanalytic theories are not heavily focused on in my department. BUT Freud and Jung have a huge influence in the art therapy field (which is my bachelors degree) so I totally understand and love BTS's MV's on the psychology and artistic level!

[@chaizan9733]

Ahh Freud, thats my man right there😂😂😂 gosh i love him

[@alanis2529]

Freud scares me lol; my psychology teacher calls him “freaky freud” haha

[@theunicorn1167]

alanis I‘m Austrian and some Germans mock us for Freud _technically_ being Austrian. I still don‘t exactly know why some mock us, they just do.

[@flyoffdaice]

I'm a (marriage) therapist. Ego is the important final step because it's the step you need to take before the "self". Jung theorizes that a person needs to be in their Ego majority of their adult life. It helps if you think of Ego as interchangeable as you find want you like and dont like which can change as you grow. You can only reach your "Self" (or self actualization if you like Maslow) when you have formed a healthy Ego. Now the Ego can be unhealthy if you develop unhealthy defenses and habits as well, in which case you will not be able to reach your Self. In a way, you can think of Ego as the Journey and the Self as the destination. Jung believed in a healthy journey for the majority of your life before the destination. Usually, when one talks about Jung, you have to talk about Freud bc Jung was his student. Jung didn't agree with most of Freud's theories, so most of Jung's theories are in counter of Freud. I hope this helps!

[@marygreer4036]

Katy Hart Yes, and individuation is a life-long journey. The ego is like the CEO so not a destination (Self) but rather an operating mechanism. It is the task of the ego to embrace and integrate the parts of the self including bringing the persona (outer/seen) and shadow (inner/unseen) into balance.

[@lux3226]

@@marygreer4036 So, to put it simply, one could say J-Hope represents the shadow and persona, the car is the ego taking you on a journey along the highway of life, and the city is individuation. :D

[@marygreer4036]

Carrie Cole, Not to my way of thinking. Individuation is a process, not a destination. The Self is the destination/destiny, which paradoxically, is the whole being, there from the beginning. The ego is the conscious driver versus the shadow that could be seen as what unconsciously drives you - like when you realize you’ve taken the wrong road because you weren’t paying attention or were caught up in road rage. The persona is your social vehicle or mask and is not really dealt with in the outro although a case could be made for the Kingsman clothing or all the bright colors making up JHope’s sunny disposition. The ego must learn to embrace the inner shadow and integrate it with the best outer qualities put forth in the persona.

[@pumpkinsandme6238]

The Ego suppresses the shadow because it doesn't want to acknowledge the dark aspects of the self. One cannot really trust the Ego.

[@theunicorn1167]

Katy Hart Oh, I didn‘t know that Jung was Freuds student! But looking at Freuds constellations of the Psyche (as in _Es, Ich und Über-Ich_ ) and Jungs Map Of The Soul I can kind of see the correlation

the connection you made to Answer: Love Myself is so interesting... you're right, the ideas are very similar. Its cool to see the same message within the different contexts of the LY series and MOTS, serving two different purposes/meanings

[@claabru]

Tbh, if he is driving away from them, I think the signs could mean that J-hope knows his own way and doesn't need the signs to tell him the way because he trusts himself (and that wherever he goes and whatever choices he makes, its his own way) I could be completely off tho...😅

[@theajane6444]

Huh! That is a pretty cool, insightful conclusion. 😀

Maybe the signs saying Future is is superego/what he feels he's obligated to do and so he ignores it.

[@lenn452]

I think since every sign in that scene points to different directions ("One way" is to the right, "future" is straight, "follow your dream" is straight/right etc, only u-turns (turning back) is prohibited) it means that he can go anywhere he wants and it will become HIS way wherever he'll go (like the lyrics)

If they only have 4-6members only, they probably get more famous. They definitely have hardcore fandom as i always saw that stan loona everywhere. But tbh, i found their music just okay.

[@dianam.v.1936]

EGO: It refers to the psychic instance that encompasses a set of ideas, feelings and perceptions of a conscious type and with which we identify. Jung pointed out that knowledge of the ego-personality is often confused with self-understanding. Anyone who has any ego-consciousness at all takes it for granted that he knows himself. But the ego knows only its own contents, not the unconscious and its contents. People measure their self-knowledge by what the average person in their social environment knows of himself, but not by the real psychic facts which are for the most part hidden from them. EGO: Se refiere a la instancia psíquica que abarca un conjunto de ideas, sentimientos y percepciones de un tipo consciente y con el que nos identificamos. Jung señaló que el conocimiento de la personalidad del ego a menudo se confunde con la autocomprensión. Cualquiera que tenga alguna conciencia del ego da por sentado que se conoce a sí mismo. Pero el ego solo conoce sus propios contenidos, no el inconsciente y sus contenidos. Las personas miden su autoconocimiento por lo que la persona promedio en su entorno social sabe de sí mismo, pero no por los hechos psíquicos reales que están en su mayor parte ocultos para ellos.

Diana Carolina Mera Vélez I want to give you two thumbs up 👍👍 for providing your comments in a second language as well. One of the things that I dislike about YT is that it isn’t accessible to translation software. It doesn’t have a link to use within the comment, AND I can’t copy/paste it into a translation app. I literally would have to take a pic & import it into a program that way. I know machine translation is crappy - but a lot of times I can get at least the gist of what is said. And I can’t learn all the languages in the world. Anyway, I hope other bilingual YTers will take this cue from you and do the same thing!! I would if I could - but I can’t write ASL.

[@eupetrosarktou7866]

Just two snippets of linguistic detail you may want to know: EGO is simply the (Ancient) Greek word meaning "I, me". (εγω ειμι = I am) ID is the Latin word meaning "it, this, that". It is not an abbreviation or acronym. Oh, and the first GOD shown is the Old Norse Óðinn (Odin, Wotan). His role is complex, but among other things, he is the god of poetry, magic and religious ecstasy. Not only did he give us the runic alphabet, but he also stole the mead of poetry from the giants, and brought it into the world of gods and humans. His two ravens are Huginn (Mind) and Muninn (Memory). All poetry is his domain, so he would definitely be the rappers' divinity, if anyone is! Old Norse poetry was not composed on paper, but was passed on orally, and meant to be proclaimed by the bards. There may have been a musical factor involved, but we actually know next to nothing about this ... ###

What if JHope was doing the Ego part, because Yoongi did the Shadow, and RM the Persona ? Ego was the only one missing, and all this song's help you to be yourself. It could also represents the demons of the 3 boys. RM always had trouble to accept and love himself. Yoongi go through depression, and social anxiety, he always fight is shadows.

[@lightefilit]

How does this work in relation to bts tho? Is it, superficially, their disregard for gendered clothing, as in they wear what they like, or is it deeper?

This is brilliant. I’ve been fascinated by Carl Jung’s theory and concepts for awhile and BTS presented really well. It’s much deeper than the way you presented but BTS pretty much outlined the whole concept. Props to showing the clip of Dr. Jordan B. Peterson. I love the man and he truly changed my life. Please, if you want to know more about Jungian concepts, watch his lectures. He’s an expert on it and a brilliant man. Jordan Peterson really is an eye opening person with all his lectures on life, philosophy and psychology on his KZbin channel. I was astonished and couldn’t stop laughing with joy with that clip of Peterson. So thank you for that and this video explaining it. Following BTS since 2015 on this journey was and is amazing. Looking forward to the future~ 💜

5:55 the sign changes from Hope Records to Hopes Record, but if you look closely it changes back

[@jenniferryburnsart8598]

Awesome! Love this explanation. There is always so much more in BTS songs than what you see at the first look. Thanks for putting this together.

[@bhuitzil8456]

I love how you explain everything and understand the point of view from BTS but also yours too.

[@tejaswinigaikwad7408]

The way you explained it and that last part where you are giving your opinion ...made me really happy ...great job guys ....and thank you so much!!!!!!!

[@lesliehernandez3144]

Amazing theology and very well analyzed video, I loved it ! 💜

[@Lola-gn2yn]

6:39 "oh and don't miss the chickens from CNS" i don't know why that was funny to me ajdhkaf

[@SienZ88]

This makes me think 100x about myself.. My ego, my shadow & my persona. Thx DKDKTV & BTS

[@meowwmowww]

6:22 i personally think that this part indicated how hobi used to question parts of himself , like a persona for armys , a shadow for himself etc as the lyrics in the part says “Oppressions all resolved (for the 7 years of hardwork part like he became successful so now his oppressions are all resolved) Into my heart come answers from my most trusted (this comes right before the one soul part)” i think this means that people who are really close to him or fans , they told him or made him realise that he need not question himself , that his soul , his smile , his hope , they’re all part of himself , that he’s a combination of everything and that’s okay

[@curvytangerine]

Fucking stunning. Just an incredibly stunning artistic statement by J-Hope and BTS. I agree with your analysis completely. I'm so beyond thrilled that Hoseok was the one to bring this to life... and like you said on your reaction, he was absolutely the only one who could have.

[@albs5670]

Absolutely loved this video! Outro:EGO is such a masterpiece!

[@june-uni]

Once again, top quality content! Thank you 💜💜💜

[@aditigurung984]

Thank you so much for the explanation. It amazes me everytime to know that there's such a deeper meaning to a korean song.Your explanation made me fell in love with the BTS and the korean culture even more. Keep doing what you do. You are AMAZING!💜

[@pleasant_gazelle]

These explained videos bring the kind of perspective I have never heard before . I'm thankful that I exist in the same timeline as BTS

[@hiseyes]

what I love about BTS can fill a whole page but I really enjoy how they make you ruminate and absorb deep things. I have reached a stage in life where I am 90% fine with how I turned out, though it has taken decades to get there. it pleases me to see how these young men have come so far so fast. I have no doubt they will go on to live long, fulfilling, centered, and balanced lives. BTW, DKDKTV you did an EXCELLENT job in this analysis!

[@mochigotnojams1856]

this is exactly why i love bts, they don’t just throw random words together and call it a song they really think deep about lyrics and how it affects them and armys. 💜

[@me160]

Thanks for all of these BTS explained videos!! I'm absolutely in love with them! On my own I would have missed out on almost all of these.

[@itstoocoldoutsid3]

Omg this is really deep. I really respect all the work and thought and soul bts is putting in their music. And it’s wonderful because for ages boy bands have been perceived as a product, catchy songs and pretty faces and music with no particular sense (no shame in consuming that kind of music) and what this band is doing is proving it can be different. Breaking stereotypes. And I respect and love that. Btw, I love this “explained” videos and I love your channel and you guys. Greetings from México.

[@Cian64ohoc]

Wow!!!! I din't catch a lot of things!!!! Thanks a lot for this explanation!!! I was missing the fact that other BTS' songs are related to EGO!!! I really love this series of your channel

[@lizethqp2258]

Ok. I teared up a little bit. I love how BTS makes their songs so meaningful

[@rememberuhyuiyoureenoughlo1316]

As always your videos has helped us understand BTS' music videos in more depth. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this for us!!

[@SOFTMERARY]

Wow. This analysis is so deep. I'm amazed and you have a new fan! Thank you for these videos, super interesting.

[@maryrose8478]

I'm so glad I found this channel. I have my own interpretation of their lyrics and videos but I looove listening to other people's interpretation and theories. It's one of my favourite things about BTS fandom actually. Plus there are some things that I will never ever spot myself for example the meaning of the writing on the road. Thank you!!

[@Tamara-xc2jm]

Great explanation and summary of Jung's theory. The struggle to accept your life choices is real and hard. In my 40's and still struggling to accept and just move forward without constantly revisiting my regrets.

[@courtneyogtravel]

I remember learning about the psyche in my mythology class in college (we were learning about the "hero" or "villain" pysche and how they're shadows of each other) and that chart just brings flashbacks 🤣

[@eishad6803]

Marathoning your explanation videos. As a psychology graduate - Map of the Soul as a concept album WAS DRIVING ME NUTS ( in a good way). This feels like exhilaration of WINGS all over again! Absolutely agree with your explanations of Jung's concept of individuation - btw, that diagram model is the best version to use! It's so exciting unravelling all of this depth in their albums!!! And watching your videos - so so beautifully crafted with specific lyrics and scenes in the MV highlighted on. Just. WOW. Amazing!

[@SandraHoyt]

Thank you David, I love your explanations of the music. Hope you do more of these.

[@yoshinofamily8890]

Thank you for enlightening us, as always ❤️💕 We appreciate you all DKDKTV team 🥰

[@CathyKKim]

I’ve been waiting for this since the mv came out

[@layalimuhammad4345]

Forget all theories only stick to dkdk explanation👏👏👏👏 Thank u so much for this one it truly gave my a clear image of wt love myself exactly means When you said he's done with "what if" and start to approach what he has now made my realize that i should be doing the same now despite all the regrets that i have for my past choices Just pick it up from where l am now and try my best

[@diashneegounden3705]

Wow! What an amazing explanation! Thank you for taking the time to analyse and share this with us!

[@annieho9233]

Kudos to DKDKTV!! You presented the most crystal clear & comprehensive explanation! Again, I'm glad I subscribed to your channel. Thanks, David.

[@curiosity4700]

i just love the way you speak so precisely :D so clear in the way you expresss all that is there in the head :)

[@aditipanwar8187]

So basically from LOVING MYSELF to TRUSTING MYSELF....💜

[@DeathStarDiva]

Why am I legit crying. This I's my upbeat song every morning now I see way more into it!! Thank you

[@artemisiana]

A very good analysis! It's interesting how they bring such information trough the albums, music and concept and are making the teenagers (their main public) read and know various books, authors and references :)

[@aprilt3314]

Wow! Well done. I really enjoy these videos where you explain the fine details. It just makes me like BTS so much more. They give a lot and have such a great way of expressing themselves. Good job pulling this together.
