Lol. It's officially inspired by the book. Tied in with themes from the HYYH MVs and Danger. The book is Herman Hesse's Demian. Rapmon read it last year and loved it. The quotes at the start are from the book. And there are symbols in every film related to the book. I won't bore you with the list so far but in this one the book references are the opening lines, the name Eva on the card, and the apple. A big part of the book (a pre world war coming of age story that struggles with religion and mysticism) is when a young boy from a good family makes up a lie about stealing apples to impress a bully, who then tortures and blackmails him. The lie, the secret of it, the polite but fake face he puts on for his family while telling them everything is fine, the way he hates and looks down on the parents he use to put on a pedestal because they believe him, the fear, regret, and thrill of no longer feeling his world is safe begins his journey from child to man. That is the apple.

And yes, the name Eva in Demian is an obvious reference to Eve and the garden of Eden, and the lie about stealing apples is a reference to eating the apple. If you read this book in an English class, making a list of all the religion based symbolism is usually an assignment, and makes sense because Hesse wrote the book about his struggle with religion and adolescence. So BTS is referring to Demian, and Demian is referring to the bible, and Snow White's apple symbolism was also inspired by the bible, so in a way you weren't wrong. It's all connected.

[@Ykoz2016]

+Kat Yes, you are correct. Eva is referring to Frau Eva in Demian. What I was saying was that if you study Demian in school, which I did years and years ago, you discuss how Hesse (the author of Demian) choose the name Frau Eva as a symbol of Eve. I mentioned it because people who did not read Demian are seeing the apple and the name and are guessing it's a biblical reference i.e. Eating the apple. So I was explaining that HESSE was referring to Eve and the apple when he wrote Demian. BTS is only referring to Demian. Did that make sense? Lol I'm not trying to confuse anyone.

[@Ykoz2016]

+Kat and I only mentioned it here because they were guessing the apple might be a Snow White reference. And since the apple is Snow White was also influenced by the bible, I was saying it's all connected and they were on the right path. They just haven't read Demian.

I hope you find time to do the 3rd Cuz its my favourite one and the one that makes most sense

[@hannahlyndonguya2710]

[@ellapetal]

I'm on the edge of my seat waiting for your reaction to the third one. It destroyed me. When it was over I literally said I was done with them, my heart can't take anymore. Good luck!

[@hannahlyndonguya2710]

YES!! I've been waiting!! I almost mentioned you in tweeter but I got shy. lol And I'm so Emily when I first watched it, too distracted bc Jimin is just so beautiful. That angelic voice captured me!!

[@noona9193]

can't wait to see your reaction to #STIGMA it's so amazing

[@Ykoz2016]

As well as the references to Demian which are in every short and the references to HYYH (which u got them all, the bathtub, the white walled mental hospital, the pillow fight/ pills/ and empty bed referring to Jhope) there are also callbacks to older videos. I'm not spotting any here, but in the others. So it's just this big game of I spy. Oh look! That's from Demian! (It was my fav book at 15 so I'm having a blast with this) Oh look! Run! Danger! The begins concert opening film! I need you! The Japanese MV! There's SO MUCH. So far the ONLY thing I haven't figured out yet is the road sign. I know what it says, wildflower arboretum, but I have no clue where it's from. It's killing me. Like I'm acing a test but I can't figure out this one multiple choice question.

[@s0phi76]

My guess is the apple is symbolizing something forbidden BUT I'M TOO TIRED OF THEORIES, THE TRAILER STILL DIDN'T REVEAL WHAT THESE EVEN MEAN LOL
