BTS - Skool Luv Affair Trailer, MAP OF THE SOUL: PERSONA & Explained Reaction

[@nebularhobi]

ahh, im so glad you did the skool luv affair trailer first before the new one !! thank you so much for this reaction. i know it’s overwhelming but i hope you continue to catch up on bts 🥰💕

[@Wehttam]

Absolutely! Thank YOU! I really enjoyed ALL of them... I definitely will... I only overwhelm MYSELF by overthinking... It's my usual :p Thank you so much for still being here with me :)

[@berha3293]

The Persona intro and classroom setting and its references to 2014 Skool Luv Affair era and 2013 No More Dream era are showing RM's past personas juxtaposed with how much he's grown since then. Also, the lyric where RM says he's not sure whether he's a "dog or a pig or what else" is similar to a lyric in the BTS song Am I Wrong, in which they say "We become dogs and pigs when we're angry." This is believed to be calling out a Korean politician who got backlash for comparing underclass people to dogs and pigs - basically ignorant masses. To tie this back into Persona, it fits with how RM and BTS started out as underdogs, and their group name and bulletproof concept is about defending underdogs, but now - whether they feel like they deserve it or not - people are showering them with "pearls" of glorification. But I think RM accepts all of his personas, past and present, as part of who he is. And here's where I disagree with DKDKTV (as I've commented under someone else's video): This Explained video had helpful points, but one thing I think I don't agree on with Danny is the conclusion that RM is overidentifying with the persona rather than accepting it. As I understand in Jungian theory, the persona is not inherently wrong. It's a natural part of interacting with other people, and it's not a problem as long as it's seen for what it is. When RM talks about God creating "these various beauties" and saying that his various personas are the map of his soul, it feels like an awakened self-acceptance anthem, a realization that loving yourself means embracing all of who you are - personas and beyond. Which leads to "I just wanna give you all the voices 'till I die / I just wanna give you all the shoulders when you cry." RM's self-exploration and acceptance is not only for his own benefit, but also to comfort and encourage our own exploration and acceptance as well. There's another Korean video titled "[eng sub] BTS Map of the Soul: Persona comeback trailer analysis" that explains this.

I love your reactions. They are so sweet and genuine. Can't wait for ur reactions to their entire discography. Loved the ones u did for the two albums. Keep going 💜💜💜

[@Wehttam]

Awww, thank you so much... it REALLY does mean a lot to hear you, and everyone else say that to me, even after all this time! I'll continue trying my best! Thank you so much for your everlasting patience!

Haha awwwww, well that makes ME happy TT... Thank YOU so much! You don't know how happy that makes me :)

[@cynthiaperez2232]

What's super interesting to me about all this is that while ARMY is madly reading and discovering Carl Jung, there are a group of Jungians on the web who have discovered BTS. It's a wild and crazy ride. I stumbled across a site where they were discussing RM's speech at the UN and how it showed his self-knowledge and "individuation." The leader of a Carl Jung discussion group even contacted and had an interview with ARMY. I made a comment to him about DKDKTV's explanation video and he responded that he would try to get to it this week. So we have people from all diff walks of life, corners of the planet, interest groups... who RM is bringing together. Here's the site if you're interested: Individuation Defined: RM and BTS - K-Pop's Super Group

[@Wehttam]

Oh wow, that's actually incredible! I've HEARD of, but never inquired about him! Oh WOW. What a WORLD we're living in... right!? Ohhhhh that's so cool, please keep me updated on that comment and what happens! Ohhh thank you, i'm going to look into it!

[@berha3293]

@@Wehttam Also Jungian scholar Laura London (jungianLaura on Twitter) had an episode (42) dedicated to BTS on her Speaking of Jung podcast in which she interviewed Murray Stein, the author of the book "Map of the Soul." BigHit has been selling the book in their online store, and sales have recently increased from 2500 copies in 3 years to 10000 copies this year alone. She has been interacting with ARMYs and there are a number of interesting discussions on her Twitter account and those of fellow Jungians, so I recommend checking it out.

[@pambarab5506]

@Cynthia Perez Thank you for this. I saw the Laura London/Dr Stein podcast, and had heard of the Individuation Defined talk but was not able to find it till I saw your comment. I just finished listening to it, and he seems really intrigued by RM and BTS, and really impressed by the AHC. All of this is so weirdly ironic and wonderful, isn't it?

[@cynthiaperez2232]

@@pambarab5506 I know... I've been watching the Q & A on the collective unconscious.... So RM is making all of us learn again! (He's totally amazed by ARMY, btw. He was so welcoming and trying to answer everyone's questions.)

I am with you trying to figure out theories my brain fries within 4 seconds but im too interested to leave its be for myself JHGHJGF I love that they get my brain working just oOF the admiration

[@Wehttam]

Right!? I feel so awful as a reactor sitting there, ACTUALLY having a brain malfunction haha... But you know :p ME TOO.... I CANT UNDERSTAND ANYTHING BUT THE FACT THAT IT MOVES MY BRAIN... YES. Massive admiration!

[@chewyro_chewyro]

RM has expressed so many times in the past up to now that he wasn't sure if he's RM or Namjoon or how he wants to live his life as. Can't wait for you to react to Mono!

[@zlove8671]

Army twitter found out about the book and we started looking into the meanings of the book and so we were prepared the day this mv dropped to explain to each other what the meanings were. So a lot of us collectively were able to understand what namjoon was getting at before dkdktv debuted their video. :) Also bts wings album and fake love series was filled with theories and we have had to always come together as army and figure it out. So do not feel bad we have experience and are pros at theorizing. You did a great reaction my friend.

[@zlove8671]

Also, I should say that Namjoon has throughout the years always talked about how he is trying to find himself. He struggled in the begging for a few years trying to figure out if he was a "real creditable rapper" or an "idol" and tried to find a common ground between the two. So we as army are aware of his struggle of self-identity, self-worth, and confidence because he talks to us about it openly over the years. But now I can say that he seems to have come to a point in his life where he is accepting all parts of himself and is in a better place. Also, he has mentioned on a few occasions that he has a therapist he talks to, so yeah he is taking care of his mental health and I am happy that he takes the initiative to do that.

[@Wehttam]

I... love Namjoon so much. He's one of the most... real person Idols i've ever had the pleasure to know of or see... We often forget these boys (and any other idol) are human too, so it's beyond refreshing... In the sense that, I can connect with him as a person... I don't know how to explain myself without sounding dumb but... Thank you so much for explaining all of this to me about Namjoon, ALSO... the therapist thing is very brave to and heartfelt to me. Mental health IS important, and I know i've read, or seen at least that it's a bit of a taboo thing around korea... unless I read wrong! So being open about that is incredible. I'm happy he takes that initiative too.. .Thank you so much for taking your time to comment these... It means a lot to me.

[@vanessavasconcelos8234]

I can't grasp all these meanings by myself. Luckily, I follow smart Armys who help me understand what's happening. That's what I love about the diversity of the fandom: each Army contributes a little, and together we are able to learn and grow. The "but Namjoon" part discussed on the video received a different interpretation on twitter. It refers to what haters use whenever their favorites do something wrong: "Person X did this, but Namjoon did/said that". I found interesting that the Explained video didn't cover that. Anyway, I'm really looking forward to check the album and see more of this new era. Thank you for your reaction and have a nice week, Matt. 😘

[@Wehttam]

Me neither! I need to follow even more who do, myself! It truly is incredible to me, and every army i've EVER met thus far has been incredibly kind, supportive and genuinely nice, at least to me!... Ohhhhh, I'll have to look that up too! Someone just mentioned there was a different viewpoint, and video about it!... (I don't know if THAT exactly, since i'm STILL trying to wrap my head around it all!). Me too! It'll be my FIRST comeback with BTS so that's exciting at least! :D ... Thank YOU for your kindness, and YOU have a nice week as well, Vanessa :)

[@여러가지색깔]

your reaction is so warm and calm softest reaction im melting

[@Anastasia-wb8tt]

they hinted "map of the soul" in august and put the book on the website in autumn so we had time to process, although personally i don't find the book easy to understand.. you don't have to understand everything. all these theories and concepts are a bonus. i don't think that all members read the book, too. just enjoy music and visuals, don't feel burdened. also you definitely don't need to check all content at once. keep it at your own pace.

[@borat8745]

This MV is so fun to dissect. Thank you BTS for making our brains work hard! There are so many existential references. I interpreted the dog, pig, pearl necklace verse-as a possible reference to this verse in the Bible Matthew 7:6 New King James Version 6" Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces." I think RM might be saying he still hasn't figured himself out yet but others put their own values on him to try and destroy and tear him apart. Similar to the proverb Danny/DKDKTV mentions, but I interpret some biblical and spiritual references. Then Namjoon spits this out into the next scene-notice his robe has the Phoenix bird printed on it in the middle of animated flames. @19:48 I think also that Namjoon, like the Phoenix has the ability to be reborn from the ashes of the flames into a different Persona. Also I think the robotic humanoids might be ARMY, see how they’re looking up to him while he’s on a pedestal, but their faces are robotic because the bulk of the connections to ARMY outside of concerts/fan meets is online. Well that's my interpretation a least! Love me some deep thoughts time with Kim Namjoon!

[@Wehttam]

I wish I was THAT much better at doing so myself... I'm NO good at dissecting, but I LIVE for the people who can, and when they share with me :D... Ohhhhhhh, the bible verse is a good one!.... Thank you so much for giving me something incredible to read!... OHHH I DO SEE THAT. Omg, you're actually making an incredible amount of sense. Wow, I really enjoy your interpretation... OH NOOOOO you commented two weeks ago and I never responded!... I'm sorry!... BUT I know who i'll be REQUESTING interpretations from... FROM NOW ON. SO be PREPARED. Deep thought time with Namjoon and Kim Line, you mean!? :p Thank you so much! This was a lot of fun to read and try to connect myself! I'm really no good with theories, and everything... EVEN less so ON CAMERA, so I appreciate people like DKDKTV, and YOU, IMMENSELY. Thank you for this! :)

[@borat8745]

Wehttam I’m a philosophy geek 🤣. I have so many theories with this trailer..I could write a Thesis. So happy to have discovered BTS who let me flex my mental alertness. Oh and totally don’t worry about feeling you need to write me back. I know you’ll get to responding when you can, and if not that’s ok too. This album I think will Have is all asking “Who Am I?” (the first words Namjoon uses at start of the track) And I think it comes at a great time when we as a society need to look at ourselves deeper. I think it will be a trilogy again, with Carl Jung’s theories as undertone so you might want to read up on Jung:) Have a great night! Love your sweet reactions, thanks for being so lovely and sincere. You’re a joy to watch! And YES! The Kim Line is my Holy Trinity! 🤣

[@Wehttam]

Well, I'm GLAD you're here to HELP ME, and EVERYONE else out, then! Because i'm one of those... pull on your shirt and ask for help kinda people :p... i'm a FOOL when it comes to deeper thinking... so :p... YOU flex your mental alertness... MY eyes widen at the thought. Awww, thank you so much... you're so kind to me i'm gonna cry!...(i'm tough, shhh). Expect a "I tried to understand Jung, I give up" comment not too far from now... :p Thank you again so much! :)

You don't have to apologise for reacting to this. I hope you react to their new album once it's out too! ;)

[@crisc1107]

I like your genuine reaction. You are such a nice guy. I had to rewatch this video many times too. The blackboard have hints of their next album name. Map of the Soul will be a trilogy: First album is PERSONNA, about dream Second album is SHADOW, about Love Third album is EGO, about Happyness If you zoom into the blackboard you can see it clearly written on the board.

[@cynthiaperez2232]

My reaction was the same as yours when Danny explained that the big RM was his overblown persona. "It was soooo obvious!" How could I not get that? I sort of followed the outline of the map of the soul, but didn't connect it with the MV very well. DKDKTV is sooo good. That image of the guy looking in the mirror and seeing Superman will stay with me (ego is the person we want others to see-- our idealized image of ourselves).

[@happyjmh]

Thank you this video I understand persona, ego ,shadow Thank you BTS FOREVER ~💜

[@jjangjjangbongbong4552]

You can't understand rm's lyricism easily until you learn Korean language because he uses so much wordplays,rhyme scheme,references . And you also have to be intelligent.

[@Wehttam]

welp, count me out of all of them. I'll still love the message as its explained to me though, and of course the music. But the deeper meaning will always be lost on me, and it's unfortunate because RM is the most beautiful human i've come to learn of.

[@jjangjjangbongbong4552]

@@Wehttam yes . I am looking forward to your reactions.

[@dianalog4760]

I'm considering the possibility that the big version of RM isn't the persona, but maybe the unexplored unconscious Self. Like the much larger, hidden part of an iceberg. Personas are still just a smaller part of the larger whole. I think it was the curious, ambiguous expression on its face when you first see it...and because it looks to me like it's wearing a grey monk's robe. Or maybe it represents the Enlightened, fully realized, self aware Namjoon to be discovered through the next cycle of albums. How it initially makes such direct eye contact with us, and watches the smaller RM so very intently. Maybe that's part of the reason why people often have such a surprised, recoiling response to it. Interacting with the Shadow Self is unsettling. It knows everything you've pushed down and forgotten.

[@Wehttam]

Ohhh, that's a very good point! Geez... Before you knew of Kpop, or BTS... did you EVER expect to be exploring this type of theme and concept..? I didn't... i'm so beyond happy though for it. Hmmm... that's a lot to think on. I really like your perspective of it too!... Wow.... I'm going to save this comment and read it more later, I really enjoy your take on it! (Sorry I can't comment TOO much on specifics with it.. i'm not NEARLY as intelligent to figure it out... but that's why you're here! :)... Thank you very much for taking your time to explain and tell me this! It mean SO much.

[@dianalog4760]

@@Wehttam Well, I've certainly already explored it abundantly with my therapist, ha ha!!! Getting to further ponder and reflect on aspects my own ongoing inner journey along with the fine company of RM and BTS is just artistic cherries on the analysis cake, as it were :) And please stop saying you're not intelligent! I wouldn't enjoy you anywhere near as much if you didn't have interesting, sensitive responses to what you're experiencing.

[@suskook]

Your reaction is great don't worry about the pauses and yeah I also didn't understand about the theories unless I see some videos or the theories on Twitter

[@lovelyy6491]

i think it's alright to keep your pace like this, this is basically what I did when i became an ARMY during Fake Love Era. I got lost when the subject was theories of the BTS Universe, so I'd recommend to not stress over that for now, the comeback will still be very fun for you!! After you check their previous works you can read the Save ME Webtoon of the BTS Universe, can read the book called "The Notes" (both BigHit official), can read or maybe just understand the main concept of the books that inspired a BTS Era (like "Demian" for the album Wings, or "Map of the Soul" for Persona, etc). I can just guarantee you'll have an easier time because before 2019, we just have our own theories. ARMYs made videos, threads, so MANY theories and no confirmation from BTS and BigHit. But now we have official Webtoon and book and everything is easier to understand

[@WickedEcho]

Woohoo! Okay so honestly, listening to the entire discography wouldn't really "help", as this "psyche" comeback is a whole new era. Really the only reason we encouraged you to watch the SLA trailer first is so you get the "throwback" element of the "Persona" MV/song. For the biggest part, lyrically it's a new era. So don't worry. Also, it's not 11 albums, it's more like 14 to go. ;) I posted this to another reactor about watching this MV for the first time, thought you might be amused too: I went through a progression watching this for the first time. It went like this: -Got notification of video, heartbeat spiked up, anxiety took over -Initial confusion over the chipmunk vocal sound -Being reminded (as if I forgot) that RM is a rap deity -Bobbing my head to the beat -Pausing the video and yelling "WHAT THE F IS THAT OMG" when the CGI RM face came on the screen -Recovering from CGI RM -Again yelling at the even bigger CGI RM -Smiling big at the hook (+chair dancing) -Sigh of relief that I enjoyed it

[@Wehttam]

Yeahhh.... That's true... GAHHHHD. I read the "It's not 11, its more like 14" And crumpled inside last night LOL. LOL YES... damnit, ITS VERY amusing LOL. Chair dancing is BEYOND important! I suppose that's always the scariest thing, theres always a chance you may NOT enjoy it?! Blasphemy...

Absolutely loved your reaction 💜 RM is a lyrical genius 💜 I remember watching a video of RM talking about Kim Namjoon, and that he tries to live as Kim Namjoon on his time off. He said that Kim Namjoon likes nature walks. Interestingly, RM posts pictures of his nature walks on twitter. So he may not be "over-identifying" himself with RM, but rather he's learning to "co-exist" with it. Suga also mentioned his struggle a while ago about his stage self vs. real self (I believe that was during their Dinner Party BTS FESTA 2018?).

i wanna share a few things i’ve seen armys commenting on twitter: • the way joon pronounces “persona”, with the emphasis in “na” sounds like he’s saying “나”, which means “i” or “me” in korean; • in their explained video dkdktv focused on explaining the concepts of persona, shadow and ego because there are speculations that those are gonna be the title of the albums of the map of the souls series. if you zoom in, you can see these words written on the chalkboard, alongside dream, happiness and love (speculates to be each album’s title tracks); also, i know you said you tried to stay out of twitter to avoid spoilers, but if you’d been there you’d see how beautiful it is armys coming up with theories veery quickly! ♥︎ i follow an army who guessed correctly what would be the title of this series (map of the soul) around october 2018! the boys always leave clues, and even though not all of us are quick enough to catch it, there are always the outstandingly smart ones who explain it for us, like dkdktv ✨ i really love your reactions, i feel you so much when you got distracted by joon 😂💕

@@beatrizcbs8922 Absolutely they were :) .... Ohhh I try to read everything I can... it's trying to reply to everything that proves SUPER difficult... But thank you again for all of this :) Ohhhh, I cause myself my own stress on it... Army have been the most incredible fanbase, honestly. Near the only ones who always tell me not to worry and to take my time... so it's MUCH easier to deal with than some other groups :D....... Thank you again so much... you don't have to worry about me!

[@skadiyoko]

unfortunately, I'm not really one to try and dig into theories :') I'm an ARMY who just kind of listens to what everyone else starts figuring out bc there's just no way for me to contribute, my brain can't work like that, haha Also, I believe your next album is Dark and Wild, and let me tell ya, we're gonna be getting emotional with that one! it's so good, and more mature than their first 3, but it's also centered around the feelings and thoughts of teenage/early 20 y/o boys, so it's a roller coaster and a half and there's def still a few instances of cringe (coughWoHcough), but for the most part the album is fantastic and I can't wait for you to listen! (that's a lie I can wait please take your time, we'll be here whenever you're ready vuv) Thank you for your videos! I really like them and you're very sweet and calming to watch

[@Wehttam]

I am RIGHT there with you... HOWEVER, since i'm reacting... I feel like the eyes are on me a bit to TRY and understand... WHICH IS A COMPLETE FAILURE. :D... My brain DOES NOT work like that either, so at least i'm not alone! .. I just wait for the actual ARMY SCHOLARS, to jump in and explain... :p Ohhh, I can't wait! I hear a lot about this upcoming album! So... Oh boy... more cringe... hahaha I DONT REACT WELL TO THOSE... BUT i'm excited :D... Wow way to rush me.... GEEEEEZZZZ... ;p , but really, thank you so much for your kindness and support... i CANNOT tell you what it means to me in a good enough way...! Thank YOU. D'AW THERE YOU GO MEANING A LOT TO ME AGAIN with all your kindness... damn. I hope to hear from you again, you're very kind and sweet yourself TT

[@skadiyoko]

@@Wehttam It's good to try to understand! I do too, like I get the gist of things, but just try not to feel any pressure to try and understand EVERYTHING 100%, because I think that adds stress, and the last thing any of us want is you being stressed. vuv I advise to enjoy the boys and their story naturally, and in a way that's comfortable to you, and I also thank people like DKDKTV (there's also a channel called Form of Therapy which is a Korean producer who reacts to BTS (and other kpop groups) who gives some really good insight as well, poor guy cried while listening to Mono bc apparently it's a lot more emotional to listen to when you understand Korean, and I got emotional enough listening to it needing subs! haha) but yeah, sorry I got ramble-y, but tl;dr not only us, but the boys want fans to enjoy BTS however you want, it's good to understand their lyrics but it's also okay to not understand every little thing vuv anyway yeah, honestly out of the whole album, War of Hormone, although having an aesthetically pleasing video and catchy track, the lyrics are kind of yikes, but the boys have said they've learned better as they grew, and cringe at it themselves (21st Century Girl from Wings is a total 180 from it and is a bop and a half), other than that there's like, just a couple verses from other songs that are just like, -_-, but bearable, haha. Gosh, sorry about the wall of text, sometimes I start talking and just can't stop;; I hope you have a nice and happy day! ^u^

Yeaay... finally 😆🍻 Always wait for you to drop a new vid 💜💜 The thing is.. this isn't a new discussion among ARMY.. RM like to share his thought... He have a big interest in philosophy, humanity, buddhism and else (this what I though tho)... they (bts) also like to share what book they read/like.. and some ARMY just like to compete with the boys 😂😂😂😂 it's not an easy game but sooo fun to put two and two together. Crackhead and nerd are just some of BTSARMY middle name

"I don't know if I'm a Pig or a Dog" In this part, RM was referencing to that one Korean politician who identified it's citizens as "dogs & pigs" in a degrading term.

You know, there's 8 different types of intelligence (examples: logical, musical, sportive, etc...) so saying you're not intelligent may be true for 1 type of intelligence, but not true for the 7 others so... Yeah, maybe you don't understand everything the first time you hear it like some do, but 1) maybe that's just not how your brain works 2) maybe you need time to think about it before understanding it, which you don't have the time to do in a video 3) you don't have all the elements in mind to be able to understand everything anyway. So don't say that, i know that's not true. By your reaction videos, i can already tell you're intelligent.
