BTS J-HOPE Outro: EGO Meaning Explained: Lyrics and MV Breakdown and Analysis

[@DeeRafatSweileh]

Honestly, I wish you are a professor in my university. You're better than 85% of them. I'd ace your class 😂💜 Thank you sooo much for your hard work, I genuinely can't explain how grateful we are. The way you explain things in such an orderly manner helped me understand the whole concept and I was even keeping up with you! Thank you thank you thank you 💜

[@annisaafiati9593]

and wooow you always soo deep and comprehensive! I always feel smarter and wiser everytime i finished watching your analysis video 😊😎 the connection with "Epik High" is really mind blowing. love your vid as alwayss 💜

[@shadowabyss364]

I wish this would happen after each of by lectures though😑😑😂😂

[@annisaafiati9593]

@@shadowabyss364 hahaha yeah. And the subject is BTS 101 😁

[@Karen-ri4kx]

I’m really learning a lot from you. I’ve been watching all of your theories on BTS for the past few months and I’m so glad that I fully understand BTS’ hidden messages. I guessed that EGO showed how the Persona and Shadow are all in balance and that we’re finally coming into a resolution, and seeing that you totally said it now in this video makes me happy coz I learned it from you. Thank you so much for explaining every little detail and giving us in-depth analysis as always! You’re the best when it comes to explaining all these theories.^^

[@bilushb3413]

BOOKISH THEORIES GIRLLL! YOU HAVE TO CONTINUE DOING THIS LIKE FOREVERRRR BECAUSE I LOVE YOUR BRAINN AND ALL THE DETAILS THAT YOU SEE AND EXPLAINNN!! This was my reaction after watching this video that’s why it’s in capslock! I especially loveeeeee the bts explanation videosssss, every meme every theorie that you link and explain pfff! I’m going to stop now but you continue doing thissss🙏🏼💜

You’re so sweet, thank you so much!! 💜💜💜💜💜🥺🥺🥺🥺🙏🏻

[@NamuBang]

Agreed! But mine didn't have commercials. I will always support this theorist. She is amazing

[@aitek28]

I knew bang pd had planned this since debut but what I just realized now is: he had to have timed EVERYTHING PERFECTLY to align to when the oldest member would enlist. that is amazing to me. i don't the creative management team at BigHit gets enough credit for this. They deserve all the accolades they have earned and should earn for this. i've never been so in awe of someone i've never even met.

[@istanthegreatest]

I'm loving the song even more not just because the meaning is deep, but also the message is very positive and optimistic ❤

[@AwakeningWings]

I had to repost my comment again because my browser crashed. This is all of what I wanted to say in that earlier comment I made and tried to edit. Thank you again for another well-informed analysis. You were right about Outro: Ego with J-Hope. 🤭🥺 Hoseok looks so adorable in this trailer ❤️ There's a lot going on in this video; I mean a lot of symbols in this Outro. Like that CGI Maze design. They also sampled sounds form their older tracks again, it sounds cool. Just a thought, the intro to Outro: Ego and their INTRO: 2 Cool 4 Skool always reminded me of the Fallout games with the narration lol I really like the melody and the flow of this Outro. The lyrics seem simple but there's a lot more to it. This trailer made me smile the whole time; Hoseok just lights the whole video, even with the sad/nostalgic sections ☁️🌥⛅️🌤☀️ You've explained everything really well and I love all of your video edits, especially the beginning of your videos where everyone is waving; in this case, J-Hope waving :) We have to give Big Hit and BTS credit for taking the time to do all this research and talk about everything before they come up with all of this. I watched a press conference for Map of The Soul: Persona a while back, and Namjoon said that he learned all of this from researching and he hasn't finished Map of the Soul by Jung. He said that he has a brief understanding of Jung’s concepts of persona and ego, but I think he understands a bit more than that. For Intro: Persona Namjoon talked about how we shape our true selves between the person we were born as and the person that we make ourselves into. The Intro: Persona started from the question “Who am I?” “Map of the Soul” is closer to a journey into your soul, exploring your identity and studying its components. Namjoon was curious about the components of his inner self. They’ll be addressing something about their driving force- - the power and shadow of that force and where it’ll take them. He said if your position gets higher, I think it’s the same as your shadow getting longer when you grow taller. In Map of the Soul: Persona "you’ll be able to feel the 7 different colors of BTS’ 7 members" (J-hope said this). I guess that it makes sense that they chose the title Map of the Soul: 7 for this new album. Also, you have to watch the Outro: Ego shooting, it's so cute, sweet and funny. Even though we have fears and hardships there is always hope ☀️

[@charlottew8062]

It's just too good!! TOO GOOD I SAY! Damn, no one does it like BTS, no one.

[@charlottew8062]

Their lyrics are always so deep. I remember when Namjoon said that he's always searching for answers to life's questions, but there's no answers in this world.. BUT there is one: "definite answer to the truth of the world; only one and unchanging me"- Ego.. SO LISTEN TO NAMJOON AND LOVE YOURSELF GODDAMN IT! Too good, just tooooo goooood!

[@journeywyvz8528]

oh my! im so obsessed with how deatiled you are in connecting the dots. i was so looking forward to this explanation. great job girl!

[@annisaafiati9593]

yeah girl finally you're here. i even commented this before watching the whole clip 😄 lessgoo

[@Umla80]

I love your analyses it makes me appreciate BTS more but also learn so much. You manage to talk about deep subjects in a way that your audience can easy understand and follow and thats a real feat. Thank you for yet another great explanation video 💜💜💜

[@nunaa4025]

I thank god that I know you bc you keep my sanity stable, I would’ve burnt the last of my brain cells trying to figure out BTS mv... Thank you soo much for your hard work, I purple you💜💜💜💜

[@rhayarrah9034]

I love the way you speak its so relaxing listening to ur sweet and smooth talking.. its so calming.. i can listen to you talking the whole day☺️☺️

[@niklitis]

I feel like the intro, interlude, and outro were given to the perfect members to have them as their solos. Like RM=Real Me so like he tries to find himself. Suga has always been very open about his anxiety and darker parts of himself. J-Hope is always really joyful and seems to be very level headed.

[@Maraaha55]

Thank you, I love your explanations of the deep connected meanings of BTS' work. You are very clear and concise, despite the complexity of Jung's ideas. You also have a beautiful smiling voice which is a pleasure to hear. After enjoying several of your videos I almost feel now that you are a friend. Thank you, again. 💜💜💜

[@MS-bx5vg]

Let me tell you something : Bookish theories abbreviated is BTS Coincidence? I THINK NOT

[@color1267]

Wth lol

[@istealwaifus8526]

Abbreviated form is BT not BTS lol

[@dobyangelatorres5236]

More like "B"ookish "T"heorie"S"

[@alexandralee138]

LOL, "none of this is a coincidence" but maybe it's just serendipity 😉😉

[@NamuBang]

Defo not a coincidence. Good eye

[@shadow1390]

You have literally become the “Cliffs Notes” for the BTS and TXT universes. Thanks for your hard work!! 💜✨

[@PrincessKoriandr]

I honestly love your videos and recommend it to any BTS reactor or friend who will listen

[@Joanne1101]

You are amazing. Every time I watch your theories, my mind is blown away 🤯. Job well done 👏🏼💜

[@coyharlingen]

5 minutes in and im ooohing and ahhhing and saying 'F*** OF COURSE!!' to myself over and over again. mind kept being blown till the end, cant wait till the full album. You're the best. Thank you.

[@Souhila271999]

thank you soo much for these, the way you express your opinions and how you explain your theories by relating them to Carl Jung's work is really clear. Its incredibly helpful!

[@GennoCanicosa]

It’s been a literal SOUL SEARCHING journey through BTS and you’ve helped so much and probably a lot of other people through these videos!! On a personal note, (kinda unrelated) I’m honestly lowkey feeling like the world is truly ending soon as people all wake up to individuation and all these world events and new world era/one religion/biblical end time prophecies.(again sorry I just read into things like theology and astrology a lot ) but this outro made me think.. this whole story of humanity might be coming to a close too, but in a good way? LMAO but again great analysis and explanations!

[@Mir.i.a.m]

Thank you for this... been waiting for it... Every time I watch your videos I am fascinated.. I have a feeling that I need to be taking notes ... as your explanations show how deep BTS is, how everything they do is not a coincidence but an eternal journey that began way before their debut. Everything is all planned and thought out. They also have me on a personal journey with the goal to reach individuation...

[@joonmini2317]

As always you are amazing!!!!! Thanks for taking time to put all of these together. And gosh.... Bang PD nim is a true genius

[@xamified4432]

omfg I was such a fan of Epik High and when Map of the Soul came out I was all like "WASN'T THIS EPIK HIGH?!", but it's not the same but also similar at the same time and immediately loved the concept.

[@soniakisku9833]

I wonder that bangPD has such great mind to connect the songs and albums to the deep story...respect! Wooooow i mean woooooow👏👏👏👏

[@gis1001]

Omg i was waiting for this!!!!

[@chiararoldanblanco1881]

I love your Theories and the way you explain everything. I've discovered BTS this year, like i knew about them but i never look into them before. Now i´m Army, and since i found them i´m always asking myself Why now? I love Korea, i love Kdramas, why am i descovering them now? I guess MOTS7 is the anwser.. It´s exactly what im struggling with.. I dont know if ypu will read this, but THANK YOU for all these videos.. You´re helping me to get the full message of their songs.. hopefully i will heal in the process... Thank you so much!

[@at9594]

Amazing work! Thank you as always 💜

[@mariannek6735]

Woah, this is really impressive! Not only the fact that you know so many things (like in the different gods part and the part about J's tailor), but the fact that you connect things so nicely in a way that really makes sense!

[@helenamandic1748]

Omg you are amazing! Do you know that? I was waiting for your explanation because you’re doing the best video ever! So thank you so much for all your hard work! And this video is amazing! It’s so well explained. I’m so excited for their new album because it really represents journey and I can’t believe how they planned this so well. 😱💜💜💜

[@maimunanawar1648]

I started reading Jung's map of the soul by murrey stein because of you.

[@ananyaarajesh231]

Wait what...He planned this before their debut..that's so shocking to thing about. I think for the new groups also they have planned everything..It's like they know all the songs and meaning that is gonna come after like some 10 years. That's really interesting actually.

[@shellingp8050]

Thank you for this amazing analysis. You are the best🙏

[@hasti352]

you don't know how happy I become when I see your theories cause you're not just pretending to be smart or talk like you know everything about them but you tell us your thoughts based on books, writers,and other mvs they have. thank you so much wish more people see your theories and I'm so happy they chose a god from my country as well, and thank you for mentioning the country.

[@imuniquefangirl]

I fucking love this channel!💜💜💜 I understand everything so much better after watching your videos!!!

[@marygreer4036]

Wanted to add this from Jung: "Things are quite simple if you could only admit that Good and Evil (as in Blood, Sweat and Tears) are judgments, having nothing to do with the incommensurable concept of Being. . . . God is certainly Being itself (JHope as multi-gods/the Self)." Jung, Letters, Vol 2, p72-73 (letter to Fr Victor White). Love everything you have to say and want to add that the shadow is not to be overcome but embraced and brought into conscious relationship with the ego - an ongoing process.

[@lins_z2]

Thank you again for your insight and hard work!!! I always have the most difficulty understanding the ego, even though the concept it’s simple. With this o understood more about it and about the mv too! Can’t wait for your insight once the album releases!

[@abbygolful]

I’ve been waiting for this....thank you so Much! Really a big thing to understand deeper the meaning and the story behind the song EGO( and all other videos that you explained). As always, you’re amazing!

At this point I find your BTS theories sooooo enjoyable, that I re-hear them as I do my daily chores !!!!.... It may seem utterly ridiculous, but these MVs are making me rethink hard about my own life choices,... and always get me to tell myself: "work hard and it all will get eventually more you and much better"........ Being this one the HOPE injection that actually my life needs now. I can't stop thinking about the fact they are the real deal when it commes to "MUSIC & ARTISTS FOR HEALING" .... Thanks a lot for your valuable share!!!! I really love you!!!

[@theajane6444]

I would love to spend just 1/2 a day in your brain! You're awesome...😀. I do have one question that is bugging me: Why the deeply serious look from Hobie at the very end of the video? No where else in the MV do we get that look...🤔

[@fay-mSOPEfan62]

Yeah, I've seen someone else wonder about that! ???

[@bookishtheories]

I’m reserving my predictions for when the album comes out, but it’s entirely possible that the story is not over as it seems :D when we talk about the ego there’s also the issue of the FALSE ego, so maybe the final scene is meant to foreshadow this idea! It’s just a guess tho 🤠 the fact that this is an outro implies that the story is over, but the self did not get the attention it deserves, so it’s possible that we’ll get an epilogue in the repackaged album. You know something like Map of the All: Self, where they actually show us the Individuation taking place! I’m just brainstorming right now, but that would be cool to see! :D

[@theajane6444]

@@bookishtheories ...that's a satisfying answer/theory. Map of the All is referred to in the lyrics...thanks for your insightful reply!

[@saidaghaouale2284]

@@bookishtheories thanks for your hard work I guess , the repackage, it will be some thing like "Map of the Soul :Dream"

[@bt3022]

I'm guessing, in my opinion when ego follows the self (or soul) it's joyous and there's sense of clarity and trust, also healing. Then shadow will come time to time (fear, negative thought, old pattern etc) so ego can get confused, since it's all happening inside us. He talked about going my way, coming into my core etc which is all the steps can take us to our soul. The video and the song gave me the vibe of that joy and celebration of being in tune with the soul ( or god, higher self etc), especially when he was dancing and there was light showering inside him. Hope it makes sense, I'm not a Jung reader i've read few spiritual books and interested in psychology and mainly speaking from my experience💜💜

[@JAD_BTS_ARMY]

[@fay-mSOPEfan62]

Thanks for all your work BT - I always think ooh yay! when I see you've uploaded another vid! You explain things so well. :) So do you think the last album in the trilogy will be Map of the Soul: Self? (and will deal with the anima/animus as other posts here have asked?) I'm assuming they'll record (and publicise?) that before Jin goes, so it still represents all 7. It's going to be a new & disorienting place for them once he's gone :(
