So they use autotune in this song to show the group's shadow (they're deepest collective fears/secrets) vocally, the fear being that they would fall out of love with their craft. It was RMs idea to use the autotune to blend their voices, (which makes sense since he adores Kanye and Kanye uses autotune on his vocals). Black swan is based on Jung's work of the map of the soul where the shadow, ego and persona (and more) are all equally important parts to a person's construct. The dance moves in particular you can see in the beginning they pluck what seems to be invisible string instruments, while at the end of the choreography they seem to be hanging by those very strings like puppets. Their shadow (fear/secret) has consumed them.

@@chisays9936 I hear you. There is this widespread idea that autotune is only used on bad singing. But producers use it in pop and hip hop all the time. I think it is interesting that when it is used with singers who "don't need it", like BTS, it becomes obvious that it is a style choice. It is simply another instrument. SUGA in particular likes to use it for effect in his production. In Black Swan, it makes their harmonies sound so dreamy and far away.

yeah documenting youth years is kinda a two side coin for them. on the one hand, it's a really good memory chest and it's also one of the pillars for the connection with fans. on the other hand tho, it's like being watched all the time. that can't not affect you, right. i also remembered is jungkook's lines from his solo song My Time "My life has been a movie all the time", it correlates with "film it now" from Black Swan, that tell us that there are not only good and happy things that have been recorded. when they suffer, when they feel down or insecure, cameras don't turn away but then again nothing is only good or bad in this world. they are open about their darkest sides, they are not shy to show it in hopes their experience may help someone. in a sence this honesty and vulnerability is a great sacrifice of privacy. as Jungkook once said "There could always be someone who takes advantage of the things I say or do, but I’m confident a lot of people will use them for good"

I have a masters degree in clinical psychology so I really enjoy all the Carl Jung references, but it is definitely their ability to write lyrics about problems that we all face that has resonated with both my heart and mind. Above all, it is the members’ fun and distinct personalities, their humility, and their strength of character that has made me a committed Army.

The shadows are a theme of the whole album that this song is on. The album is called Map of the Soul 7, and the theme is from Carl Jung's theory of psychology. Jung says a person has a Persona (outer image shown to others), a Shadow (inner self hidden from others), and an Ego (self). The rap line has 3 songs, RM's Intro: Persona, Suga's Interlude: Shadow, and J-Hope's Outro: Ego.

This music video also represents Jung’s concept of the shadow, since your shadow includes your deep seated fears. They are afraid to lose their passion for music, and the shadow behind Suga at the beginning is huge and has a life of it’s own. Then at the end of the song they have faced their fear and the shadow loses it’s power over them and Jungkook’s shadow at the end of the video shrinks and disappears. Also, appropriate to react to a video where Jimin is the featured dancer with his contemporary dance background on the morning that the news broke that he had emergency appendix surgery last night and tested positive for Covid while at the hospital to get his appendix removed.

When you made a comment about watching the movie because of a BTS song, I definitely could relate. When I first watched their Blood, Sweat, and Tears MV and heard RM quoting a passage, I was very confused. When I found out it was from Demian, a book by Hermann Hesse, I had to read it. Eventually I read that as well as the study of the book by Stephen K. Roney and it was life changing for me! It came at a perfect time when I was at a crossroad in my life so it felt especially serendipitous. There were many books and references I checked out just to understand the depth of BTS’ songs. At this point, they are definitely not a boyband to me but more of a phenomenon in artistic expression.

This music video was filmed at the LA Theater. Black Swan is a famous ballet. BTS song is based around that and on a famous quote by Martha Graham who is a famous dancer : “A dancer dies twice - once when they stop dancing, and this first death is the more painful” - their song Black Swan is about the fear of losing your passion for your art. BTS reflecting on their life as artists being part of a group since they were young teens. This is all they’ve known and what if they no longer want to do this? it’s a form of death. But in the end Suga raps about not letting that fear get to him and you see the dancing shadow go away at the very end of the video. The movie with Natalie Portman is about a ballerina that gets so obsessed with her art form and being the best she ends up destroying herself (going from first dressed in white to going to the dark side and dressed in black as if she sold herself to the devil - just like BTS are dressed in white and black throughout the whole video-GREAT movie by the way).

Ah, I love this reaction, you have the opportunity to see and understand the integrity of the song, first by seeing the choreography which is very often linked to the lyrics and the mv, more after you have discovered the lyrics and the mv to end with breakdown the lyrics. Just one thing, they have pretty much all of their title songs and a lot of b-sides, performances attached, whether it's from talk shows, concerts, awards shows or music programs. So for Black Swan here there are many performances for this song, I would recommend if you want to see them dance, watch the one from MMA 2020, then the one they did in concert in LA last November to finish with a normal performance of Black Swan like that done in James Corden's show for example. These performances are all different. I don't know if you plan to listen to other songs after this one, I recommend Fake Love. Otherwise, I recommend you the introduction of BTS, '7 members of BTS (update 2021)' by Ida.S, you can better familiarize yourself with the members, who they are, their projects and roles. Ps. There are explanatory videos on each BTS song, which I recommend, especially in the future for those of the BU (BTS Universe) and the songs of the Rapline.
@imscenery2 жыл бұрын
I always thought that there were two other meanings that were missed. Martha Graham also said, "I get up, I fall down, all the while I am dancing." Meaning, whether good or bad happens, she is always dancing, because that is who she is and her passion/purpose. So her whole life is not just expressed through dance, but IS dance and I think it is similar for them with their music. The other (and very literal) interpretation has to do with the sea with no light. Almost every decently popular kpop group has some kind of unique light stick that represents their group that their fans bring to concerts. BTS has the ARMY bomb. When a kpop group is performing and the people in the audience either do not have, or turn off their light sticks it is called a black ocean. It is a huge deal to a group because if they get a black ocean it either means their fans are upset with them and it is a message/protest or it means that their fans are gone. BTS works very hard to maintain their deep connection with Army and to show their love and appreciation for all that Army does for them. The idea of getting a black ocean is probably horrific to them because the relationship between BTS and Army is very symbiotic.

If you’re doing Doolset lyrics anwyay I wouldn’t do any lyrics video at all since a lot of us don’t appreciate the inaccuracies on who sings what or what’s being said. Lastly, I do feel you should do the dance practice after listening to the song itself as it wouldn’t spoil it for you.

Black Swan is one of their better songs, imo. Not necessarily the sound, but the overall message, choreo, the amazing lyrics, the outfits, etc. Unfortunately, it got overshadowed (ha!) and did not get the proper respect and comeback time it deserved. I believe it was supposed to be the title track on its own album, but BTS took a long break and they pushed Black Swan onto a longer album with ON as the title. I think it would have had more impact being separate from ON. Also, this was RIGHT before covid hit, which also affected everything. It's a shame, really. This song is amazing.

I am losing my hearing because of it. So I always wear headphones so I can hear better. Whatever you did in this video( especially the dance practice part) made the sound so clear and crisp that it was like I got my hearing back and never had Tinnitus. I have watched a lot of your videos and loved everyone of your reactions! This one is especially just incredible, because I could actually HEAR what was going on clearly without it being muffled. It’s been over 10 since that happened so Thank You for what ever you decided to play with , correct or fiddle with. I Really enjoyed this.🥺😢😯😦😮🙂😄😁👍🏻🙇🏻♀️.

Two comments: 1. V's most recent single, "Christmas Tree", really showcases his range, from his deep, rich, soulful voice to his ethereal falsetto. Despite the title, it's actually a love song, not a Christmas song. The official MV is from MostContents channel (not BTS or Hybe) because it's a soundtrack to a drama called "Our Beloved Summer". 2. As a translator, I'm happy you're reading both the official subtitle translation and the doolset translation. They are both great translations that serve different purposes. The doolset translation seems to keep close to the original text and provides explanation to cultural references. This is an author-oriented translation, trying to convey everything that the author means to convey. The subtitles have restrictions because they have to fit the two lines on the screen with enough time without making the viewers pause.. The translator has also managed to keep the rhymes, which is not easy to do, involving poring over synonyms and play around with sentence structures to achieve this feat. This is a reader-oriented translation, trying to recreate the experience of the source-language speaker for the target-language speaker, such as the pleasure of hearing rhymes and the convenience of listening to the song and understanding the lyrics at the same time.

There are several things going on in this video. First, the primary item is that it is based a famous quote from the modern dancer and choreographer Martha Graham who stated “a dancer dies twice - once when they stop dancing and this first death is the more painful.” You hear this line early in the song. BTS adapted the quote, in part, to discuss anyone who losses their art. For them it is fear of losing their passion for music. Second, the actual dancing is in the Martha Graham style. Notice that while you hear Jimin sing, you never see him sing. His dance is a homage to Graham, who we can thank for many of today modern dances. His dance starts out flowing and graceful, but as his dance goes on, he struggles and suffers, till the end when there is nothing left. Far more about this further down. For me, however, when Jimin sings “No song affects me anymore - crying a silent cry” was also haunting because it is about how one has had a complete loss of love/desire/ability for an art they once were passionate about. Third, RM part is about what BTS life purpose is and what it would be like if they lost that purpose, it would be like a death. “If this can no longer resonate - no longer make my heart vibrate - then this may be how I die my first death” Fourth, between Suga and Jin lyrics it is expressed, that while they may have a fear of loss, they will keep fighting to keep the desire. Suga is in his studio and stage and sings that he will not let the waves drag him away and Jin says he will shout with “ferocity” to keep his passion. You also see that while Jin’s image is frozen on the outside, inside he will keep moving, fighting to keep his passion. Fifth, there are direct visual connects to the movie Black Swam. In the beginning of the movie, Natalie Portman dances the white swam (Jimin and the guy are all in white). As her character starts to mental fall apart while she is in the dance studio (Suga) the has walls are covered in mirrors so she can see herself dance (Jin). As she loses it, she keeps seeing herself switching between the white and black swam. In the MV we see Jimin quickly go from white, to black, then back to white clothing, and then the last time he is in white he cuts his throat, the white swan is dead. Next shot we see Jimin slowly rising by himself but not in the dance studio or stage but the floor. He is now in black; he has become the Black Swan. In movie Natalie now dances the black swam with imaginary wings. Jimin sprouts black wings before he starts to dance again. Jimin’s dance now becomes more desperate in his movement and on the “killing me now - killing me now” part of the song we see him do an over the head leg flip which represent his last attempt to reach up. After that he is dying and in the end we see the death of the dancer. Sixth, there is also an art film that Big Hits commissioned from MN Dance Company that goes along with this. It is a true master piece of modern dance. It has seven dancers with one being a swam. The swam is not able to fly free, it is being held down, like BTS is now. Even if it gets away for little while, he gets caught and held. The making of the art film was a way to show that even if BTS's voices fade away, art will continue. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rHjFpoh8h8mMp7c&ab_channel=HYBELABELS Finally, as you might have figured out, I am very connected to this song and trained as a dancer all my youth. There was a saying at the studio that applies here, real art does not make you feel, real art IS a feeling. That is what this song and MV are - a feeling. Well, if you made it the end of this I hope this helped you understand this MV a bit more. What I did not touch on is any of the Carl Jung and shadow references, which there are ton.

@@DestructiveMediaYT Thank you for your kind words. MN Dance Company is from Nova Gorica, Slovenia - they are a very talented group with great story telling. I come from the world of contemporary dance (in my youth). Jimin will often do contemporary dance, so one needs to remember that contemporary dance is story telling. It starts a step BEFORE you go on stage. Most often when you see Jimin separate from the group, he is storytelling thought the dance (like in Black Swan). His LIE live piece (not MV) is story telling wiht the dance and is full of LIES told though the dance, lights, tone, music, and finally the lyrics. BTS is an interesting group. Not many popular groups that include contemporary dance, which is one of reasons why there are a perforamance group (V even said this recently). They have many tools to tell a story and use the tool that best suits the medium. They also many take several songs and/or MV to talk about an issue. Finally, the way you are approaching BTS is so intersting. The deeper dive has been enjoyable. I saw a few things in different light when you discussed them (I am still working understanding the double and triple meaning in rap). I understand the meaning behind a fan kick, I do not alway get three different meanings behind a single word.

Hi, i am back. Good reaction, ty. Appreciate u carefully listening to the song. Love this one a lot. I am Russian and there is a a famous ballet called Swan Lake. Here the guys dance in many ways as swans and i love seeing the words reflect in their choreo. I adore the blending of Eng with Korean. It sounds great to my ears. I also love hearing their culture mixed into the beat. Very unique and appealing to me. I am glad u watched a dance practice. Hope u do that more. U will like the movie. I hope u watch it. I have never seen it. I saw the trailer to it. This one has beautiful deep meaning of their lyrics. As you notice like lines " It would be my first death. That's what I'm afraid of ." It has that emotional theme of an artist fear for losing their passion for what they do. With this song BTS dives deep into their inner selves as artists and faces the shadows they had once hidden. The song lends voice to their fears that one day music will no longer be able to move or touch them. The very moment they come face to face with the ‘Black Swan’ within themselves, however, they are stricken with a paradoxical realization that music is all they have. It is a confession of an artist who has truly learned what music means to himself. It's also inspired from Martha Graham, who said “A dancer dies twice once when they stop dancing, and this first death is more painful.” Now with the band on a long break and working on solo albums we know this was also a hint to us that they were struggling. - 2019 ARMY NY USA 💜 Jen W said on 6/7/22 Black Swan ballet: changing from white to black swan - growing up, losing innocence. Black Swan movie - sacrificing mental and physical health to reach the top. Shadow/mirror images - self reflection.

Hello Bryan and everyone! Greetings from Mexico. This is my first comment but been subscribed for a few weeks ago now. I got very late to the streaming, but I wanted to thank you for going deep not just in music but in lyrics also, you will find a lot of interesting things. I don't know if someone commented this but Black Swan is part of the "Shadow" section on the Map of the Soul era, so the lyrics explore a very dark and hidden side of what (in this case) the members fear to experience or have experience in one point. There's a lot to dig on Jung's archetypes and I'm not a psychologist, sorry if this is vague. Anyway, another thing is that part of the choreography was based on The Swan lake ballet in which there's a version, a darker/shadow version of the protagonist, and on the MV you will find a few references of Black Swan, Aronofsky's movie. Sorry for the long post. 😅 Thank you again for doing this.

I think you've probably been informed of this already haha but the main dancer doing all the solo shots and playing the shadows in the MV is Jimin. He's a trained contemporary dancer who's often spoken about how dancing (and music) means the world to him and it's when he's on stage that he finally lets go of all his worries and self consciousness and feels the most free. A simple summary of the relation to the black swan theme is that Jimin is playing the role of a dancer so consumed by their perceived need to be perfect that they completely lose themselves and their passion in the process. It's an allegory to how artists/ creative people are often so swallowed by the demands of a capitalistic, competitive world that they often lose their love for something that means the world to them when they pursue it as a career. It's why Jimin is dressed in white in the beginning of the video - he starts out "pure" and his dancing full of passion and emotion. But as the video progresses, you can see his creative side get suppressed as it takes on the form of a shadow trying to break free instead and finally mid video the darkness overtakes him (the black wings) and from that point on he's dressed in all black and dancing in the darkness until finally he collapses at the end of his performance (on an empty stage), realizing that he's lost his love and having died his first death and the shadow finally completely disappears.

Love that you did it this way. It is about losing your passion as you were told. It is also (and since people keep getting this wrong) based on the ballet Swan Lake. There are 2 swans one white representing good and pure and a black swan that is evil and conflicted. In many performances one dancer plays both roles(that is what the movie Black Swan focuses on the famous Black Swan pas deux which is one of the hardest choreographies EVER). It is meant to represent the fight within oneself between the light and dark, good and evil. This song by BTS is in the period where they were exploring their shadow selves. Their struggle between their light, dark and temptation. And yes it is based on Jungian theories and the book Demian by Hermann Hesse but Swan Lake predates them both. The depth they go into with their music leaves me speechless. Love this song. 😘💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

It’s funny you mentioned it looks like they are dancing in water it’s so fluid, they did a live version of the orchestra version on water with it splashing as they did a much more complex version of the dance. The lyrics are so beautiful and yes the lyrics show the right person here. One thing you will find is that some songs like Black Swan, Fake Love etc have so many remixes and even different choreography that make it so fresh with behind the scenes etc you can dig deeply into such complex songs. You keyed in quickly that a goal of the Map of the Soul is to teach the audience Jungian ideas and share their own thoughts.

The Black Swan History check - the back swan is a character in a ballet called "The Swan lake" by Pjotr Tjajkovskij. It is probable the most famous ballet there is. The lead is a Swan who is a cursed princess, she is the pure one. There is a Prince, can he break the curse? The Black Swan is the fake, an evil entity that is trying to take the "pure" ones place with the prince and it's lika a "tele novella" thing. The role of the swans is danced by the same ballerina who dances the "white swan". The Martha quote is an reference to the dancer who has to die twice on the stage. So I guess they mimicing Swan Lake's story and saying that it is the fake swan that they fear will take over??? Or is it the double deaths of creativity?

The black swan is the swan in Swan Lake (the ballet) with the troubled soul... the movie is built off this story, so it might be possible to understand the meaning of this song by understanding more about Swan Lake, rather than the Hollywood movie.

I believe Black Swan was originally a section of the Swan Lake story, where basically a princess cursed to become a swan during day time and only becomes human again during the night, is discovered by a prince who visited this swan lake - but the wicked witch who cursed the princess got jealous, showed up at the pond one day as a black swan and pretended to be the princess to trick the prince in to falling in love with her instead.... something like that. Black Swan the movie was about a ballet dancer (Natalie Portman) who wanted the lead role in the Swan Lake ballet, but was told that she could dance the white swan but never the black swan due to her "goodie two-shoes" demeanor, opting for a ballet dancer with a bit more of a wild streak (Mila Kunis) this sent her in to a psychotic spiral where she had to fight her inner demons to kill her metaphorical goodie two-shoes side of herself in the name of her art and passion which was ballet.... BTS then took those themes and brought it in for their Map of the Soul Jungian exploration of the Shadow, which you already know about :) What I have written above is just based off my memories so don't crucify me... I was taken to see Swan Lake ballet as a child and read it in like a fairy tale book, and watched the movie when it came out - it was all so many years ago lol but I think I'm in the right ball park with my summaries.

The person in the big pants (in the dance practice) is V. He has a skin condition that causes him medical issues when he sweats, so you will see him wear loose and comfortable clothing more than the others do. Almost always the person that is singing at the moment will be in the center of the dance formations. You will discover that they change their hairstyles and hair colors often but it doesn't have anything to do with the songs or videos. RM rapped towards the beginning of the song after Suga. Also BTS covers a lot of genres. Some people say they are their own genre. LOL It's Jimin's shadow dancing behind Suga, J-Hope's shadow dancing on the ceiling above RM's part and Jimin's shadow that fades at the end of the mv. Hitman Bang originally created BTS to be a hip hop group only, but then changed them to be a Kpop idol group just before their debut. Black Swan was filmed in the Los Angeles Theatre.

This song says, “The dancer dies twice. The first death is when the dancer stops dancing. And this death is much more painful,” the legendary contemporary dancer Martha Graham made its motif. Just as a dancer faces his first death when he quits dancing, it contains the fear of the moment when he will no longer be able to stand on the stage as an artist. "The more I do music, the more I fear that music will no longer give me a lot of emotion or trembling, but the moment I face my inner 'Black Swan' from the depths of my heart, I paradoxically realize that there is only music." [Suga] Ayy, they say my heart is not beating no more listening to music Tryna pull up Time seems to have stopped Oh that would be my first death I been always afraid of [RM] If this makes me cry no more If you can't make my heart tremble more How could I ever die like this But what if that moment’s right now right now Ps:Black Swan is my favorite song. When I had to end my 25-year career as a contemporary dancer, I felt the same way, and this song comforted me.

Hi Bryan 👋 I just finished watching the video - had to watch in 2 parts as it was a bit late for me the other day when it premiered. Thank you for the video and again going through Doolset. I don't think I've gone through the lyrics to that extent before myself (or at least not for a while) so that was excellent and gave me an even deeper appreciation for the song. Also I think it actually really helps to have someone else go through the lyrics rather that going through it yourself (at least for me). It helps me to process the information and I love getting your own insight and thoughts as you do so. I also want you to know that what you are doing in analysing the lyrics via doolset is so unique. Though some other reactors have mentioned doolset or indicated they have read it, it is rare. I have not seen any other reactors go through Doolset to the extent that you have, going through the lyrics and explanation with it displayed on screen to us as you do. I really do appreciate the time that you are taking to do that. As long as you are happy to do so it would be great to see you continue with that. But as usual it's your channel and journey so it's up to you how you want to do it and what you want to share with us. I understand you can always look at Doolset on your own if that is what you prefer. Also there are certainly some songs, their English ones particularly where Doolset is not necessary. The lyrics and meaning of Black Swan really is beautiful and relatable. I really like all the references to the ocean, the ocean floor, silence being blocked out - given how dark and quiet it is in the depths of the sea the ocean is a perfect metaphor. When you sit and analyse them properly the lyrics have such amazing imagery. I love how the song like many of theirs can be interpreted and applied in different ways. Even though it's intention is about fear of losing a passion for something, I think it can be applied to struggling generally like not feeling like you have a purpose or dream (also covered in BTS's song Paradise) not knowing who you are or just general mental health struggles. I love that you did the dance practice. I have watched the live performances before, but I've never seen the dance practice for Black Swan, so it was my first time watching it too. It was great as you got to see the full performance properly. The MV obviously breaks up the dance as there are different scenes. Live performance are awesome (and there are so many for this song) but it can be harder to see the dance especially if it's filmed on TV and has bad camera work/angles. BTS's dance practices really showcase their skills and many of them also serve as comic relief as they provide a flawless performance while just having a good time such as in their Halloween dance practices. Obviously they are practices in the sense that it's not a formal performance but it is not their first practice of the dance. I see in the comments a couple of people disagreed with doing the dance practice first. Personally I think it's fine and it's interesting to see a reaction to things in different ways. Everyones going to have a different opinion or preference - I mean I've seen people requesting reactors watch live performances including their epic awards show performances before hearing the studio version or seeing the MV and understanding what the songs about, which is not my preference but that's just me. I think it's ok for people to offer their advice and experience, but I don't think theres a right or wrong. In the words of RM 'Do You'. Looking forward to your reaction to the art film performance video. Something very interesting that you may not know at this stage, is the dance performance video was released about a month and a half prior to the MV for the song. To me this is amazing and so unique, no other artist or music Company releases this kind of content or in this way and it gives their audience the chance to experience their content in different ways. The fact that it gave the dance company which performed it, MN Dance Company the chance to show their skills and share their art form with so many different people who would otherwise never see it is so commendable. The dance performance is played out to an Orchestral version of the song which I believe suits the song and lyrics so well. Unfortunately Hybe has never released the orchestral version of the song for streaming. ☹ If you are interested there is also a video (a bangtan bomb) available of BTS watching and reacting to the MN dance performance video for the first time. Heres the link kzbin.info/www/bejne/sIOcomifipKagLc Looks like I'm reiterating what others have said but regarding the Natalie Portman Black Swan movie, I personally wouldn't generally recommend it. I mean there may be some similar themes because I think they are both inspired by the same source material, but I can't see any relevance/reference in the song or MV to the movie Black Swan. The movie was an experience to watch once, it was interesting and I appreciate it for what it was, but will probably never watch it again - it was just a lot. The movie goes pretty crazy 🤪 to me it was more about getting lost or obsessed in your art rather than fear of losing it. The movie revolves around the main character and dance company who are performing the ballet Swan Lake which features a Black and White Swan and I believe the movies story is somewhat inspired by the story of Swan Lake. The movie is also apparently about understudies and the notion of being haunted by a double or doppelganger - I think this relates to the fact that the ballet Swan Lake has the black swan (which is an evil character) and the opposite white swan (the good character). Its a very heavy movie and I think could be described as a horror movie. Its a Darren Aronofsky movie (the director) I've only seen one of his other films (The Fountain which I definetly preferred - very long but interesting), but just from those two ill say they are a lot. It's definetly not a popcorn movie. Ive never seen the ballet Swan Lake but from briefly reading about it, I would say BTS's song may be inspired by the ballet Swan Lake and that the Black Swan could also be representative of Carl Jung's Shadow. So maybe a combination of the two and of course inspired by Martha Graeme's quote - it made sense that you said the Shadow can also be the bad parts of ourselves that we want to hide from people. Maybe it could also be something we want to hide from ourselves 🤔

Im so excited for you to check J-hope's solo songs! You'll feel new listening to it because the way his songs are produced are cheery and upbeat, the type of song that makes you want to dance but the lyrics has more depth and it reflects jhope so much. He's humorous and funny, and he doesnt hide his emotions. Great example of this is Daydream from his mixtape "Hope world" released in 2018. as for its outro, in his mind, Blue Side is the perfect track to end his mixtape since it's slow, and dreamy. Just in march 2021, he release the Extended Version of Blue Side. The track maintains its vibe but more lyrics were added. Here we get to see more of jhope's inner feelings. As he said back in 2018, blue side is about his desire to go back in time when he was "young and clueless". "I want to embrace the younger version of me - so that I can embrace the current version of me. It’s like the past comforting the present. I need that safe space, a blue side, where I can cool off and come to my senses, especially when I’m at my hottest." - jhope said in a blog post Rumor has it that Jhope might release Hope World 2 this year, most likely this february. And im very excited because we might see a new jhope in terms of music. Btw his birthday is in Feb 18 so february is really the perfect time for you to react to his songs 😂

Others have said what you need. I'll just say Black Swan is a ballet (the movie is not useful and nothing really to do with the ballet itself). You could interpret the ballet as one's descent into madness due to losing that which they loved/were passionate about. You can see Jimin represent this in dance when he is wearing his white outfit (White Swan) in the MV. Then later you'll see he is wearing black (he's become the Black Swan--the darkness has swallowed the light). The emotion of the dance has changed at that point & you can see him spiraling into despair. The group choreo represents this too, but not as dramatically. You do need to realise that the albums are meant to be listened to as a whole piece of work. Each song is like a puzzle piece; a piece of the theme, placed in a particular order to tell the story/deliver the eventual message of the album.
