세븐틴(SEVENTEEN) 'F*CK MY LIFE* MV + IT'S LIVE & 'F*CK MY LIFE : LIFE IN A MINUTE' | REACTION

[@rheathecreative5612]

I thought this would be an angry song but SVT has surprised us again. I'm loving this so much. What we thought would be a hip-hop track was instead something mellow and soft that brought once again so much healing and comfort to Carats.

I am so happy you picked up on the Truman Show concept most reactors didn't. Such a powerful video and song done as only Seventeen could do it.

You are one of maybe only two reactions I've watched that picked up on The Truman Show connection. GREAT JOB!!! (I love that movie, too!) Someone else mentioned The Truman Show connection below; but I'm sharing what I shared elsewhere as it adds more details. Also, "Super" is the response to "FML" where they BECOME the cartoon/anime character from their childhood (like Hoshi's lyrics say)...the hero that overcame every hardship by not quitting, working hard, and winning! Woozi (the highly empathic INFJ that he is) said he wrote this in the middle of the night, and it was very hard. He himself was going through a hard time (something similar to what's known as "the dark night of the soul). He said he had to dig deep and face all the "demons" and negativity that not only he was experiencing (think of their song "Shadow" which is all about doing shadow work and integrating/embracing your own "dark" side) but what people worldwide are facing right now, and it became very emotional for him and HARD to write the song. The purpose is to express what I would say the majority of the world's population are thinking/feeling right now, especially in those countries where people are under surveillance (Seungkwan, a whistleblower, in the corporate world, trying to escape like Truman did; DK finding a camera in his lamp and drones outside his window, so he smashes his TV which may also be spying on him; etc.), where everything wrong seems to be happening (Woozi doesn't even HAVE a driver's license and doesn't drive on purpose, so he probably would feel dumb trying to start a car and turning on the wipers instead...but Truman's car wouldn't start either), Mingyu having a stage camera fall on his car (just like the camera fell nearly hitting Truman in The Truman Show...Wonwoo trying to leave but getting blocked only to end up with it raining on only his right side (meaning the world is fake)...there are SO MANY references to The Truman Show in this video it's unreal!), Joshua saying goodbye to a friend only to find a button pin just like Truman did sharing Truth. They're all trying to escape the "set" or "stage" of life, but keep getting blocked. Truman desperately wanted to go overseas, purchased tickets, but was too afraid of the water to go. Woozi has a ticket, but keeps getting blocked...again, just like Truman did. The only way Truman could escape was to put a dummy in his bed (like Hoshi) so the producers of the show would think he was sleeping while he ran away. Did you notice that the drawing in the mirror that Hoshi is looking at is a monkey...referring to Sonongong...the mythical Monkey King of their latest blockbuster hit? And another thing I found significant is that as Dino is looking up at the night sky, the Big Dipper constellation changes into the Southern Cross. (The Cross.) The title of the book Woozi is reading is "Microwave and RF Design of Wireless Systems"...a tip of the hat to a "conspiracy theory" that we're being zapped with negative energies via technology (including our cell phones). It's significant that S.Coups finally walks over and turns off the lights on the set, indicating this life is nothing but a stage. Once the lights are out, that's when you see the ocean, with storm clouds forming in the background....just like the director of The Truman Show created to drown Truman once he finally beat his fear and got on a boat. TOO MANY references to the movie; and it's EXACTLY how people are feeling everywhere. Even Minghao (aka The8) said he's felt this way many times, and his only salvation--which is everyone's--was to find himself, which he does through meditation. So overall I think the video is beautiful...Seventeen letting their fan base CARATs (as in diamonds) know THEY UNDERSTAND what they're feeling...especially those in China and other tightly controlled countries...and that the way to overcome is to return to and find yourself. Don't quit, don't let the numbness (apathy) set in, don't hide your feelings by just laughing it off, don't fear your past self embarrassing you now because your past self isn't who you are now. FIND YOURSELF. FIGHT For Your Life (the billboards behind Jun read "Nothing Will Make You Happy", "Waves of Fear Coming To You" l, "Never Make Mistakes" and "Avoid Challenges/Stay Safe"...the messages/propaganda of the world and what we must fight to find ourselves and WIN.

Love to see Bongbongee in your collection 🥰🩷🩵 FML just hits differently cause we all experience it at one point in our life or another... especially the reason behind how Woozi created it 🥺🤧

[@ryleyk1502]

i cried during the teaser too 🥲 powerful words with vernon’s voice will be the end of me LOL im so in love with the truman show concept too. i think it also compares idol life to the movie, where idol’s lives can be scripted for them or they have to act happy all the time since they are always being watched & in that process, they become so numb that they want/need to step away to find themselves again 😭 its a very sad but powerful message all around. but anyways, dino’s live rap 🫠😂 haha thanks for the reaction!

[@BeverlyPennell]

Someday all of those of us who have felt alone in this life will reunite--in the end--like Seventeen does in the video, and we'll "remember" each other...our long lost soul family...and be happy together once again.

By the way, yesterday I watched an interview with Vernon, Woozi and Hoshi. They were answering questions from fans, and the last question was, "In the next life, what would you want to come back as?" Woozi said if he HAD to come back he'd want to be a cat: someone to love and feed him, and he could sleep all the time. Vernon, however, said, "But what if I don't want to come back?" Paraphrased he basically said that this life isn't real and there's more beyond here. Hoshi immediately said, "This is The Matrix", to which Woozi said, "Yeah...this is The Truman Show."
