summary of joon’s live:

- members were interviewed to get an idea of what themes/stories they wanted to share & what they were presently feeling
- joon feels this album encompasses the answer to their beginnings, successes, and what they are/have become

- shadow: helped yoongi on the english, thinks it really fits him well
- black swan: rewatched the movie to grasp the theme better, it’s a difficult/painful movie to watch
- filter: fits jimin and his many filters well, and he well-expressed the melody and lyrics true to himself

- my time: liked how jungkook worked on the lyrics to be better fitting
- louder than bombs: felt like the voices of other members were reassuring and comforting him, exactly how he felt
- on: jk came up with “on” to tie in “n.o” like bwl & bil; jimin often joked, “bring it!”

- “to stay sane, you gotta be insane:” meaning one needs to be passionate to stay grounded and focused (= to stay sane)
- ugh: lyrics discuss anger, criticism, and truly “knowing” someone
- zero o’clock: life goes on, it’ll get better

- inner child: precious memories of little joon + little taehyung; 🐯 said in bv that he’d never seen a galaxy; “i’ll show you my world”
- friends: too personal for joon to write about their friendship; jimin’s catchy melody
- moon: jin’s own melody + his sincere, deeper thoughts

- respect: light/fun song for such a heavy word “respect”
- eternal: very emotional, bts + army will be together forever, bts’ journey
- ego: full circle back to their beginning, “start of a festival” that things will get better

joon ended the live candidly talking about the frustration he felt because they couldn’t show armys their months of hard work & sincere efforts. he’s not afraid to share his true feelings because he believes in bts, army, & himself, hoping someone will find comfort in his music💜
