🧵 THEORY 🧵

Into the blackboard.
Namjoon's blackboard during "intro: Persona" have been changing times to times, adding few new things. But this time it's much more different from the OG one, let's take a look 🧐

So first, the OG blackboard. I already looked into it but let's remember few things:
- DREAM LOVE HAPPINESS
- PERSONA SHADOW EGO
- Map of the Soul
- Who Am I?! // Who Are You?!
- drawings: ☁, ⭐, ⚡, 👑, 🐱, ⛰...

It also had many quotes from C.G. Jung like:
"I am not what happens to me. I am what I choose to become."

"A dream is the smallest hidden door..."

Esto está en la pizarra también
But also I believed like the mountains and the fish could be related to more quotes from Jung.

With the new blackboard I noticed the following:
- DREAM LOVE HAPPINESS (not together like in OG tho)
- PERSONA SHADOW EGO
- DREAM YOUTH EGO (New)
- Who Am I?! (Not who are you anymore)
- RM (New)
- Lyrics from Intro Persona in English (New)
- DREAM EGO (we see it together)

- Map of the Soul Persona (right of the board)
- Map of the Soul Happiness (left of the board in Yellow 👀. New or I'm a 🤡)
- Drawings: ☁, ➡, 👑, 🐕, 🦋, ❤, ⚡...

Taking from both boards the words: DREAM LOVE HAPPINESS, I realized that we saw Love in Map of the soul PERSONA, and we say DREAM in Map of the soul 7 (SHADOW+EGO but since it was in ON MV which makes part of the EGO, I'd say more only EGO).
So we've not used HAPPINESS...yet 👀

Idk if it's just a coincidence and I kinda mistrust myself in this but "Map of the soul Happiness" in Yellow here...we are suppose to be done with MOS era *sigh* anyway let me just put My clown outfit 🤡

P.s. the Yellow...this year pantone colors are Yellow and Grey 👀

Okay keeping up with "DREAM YOUTH EGO", like I said we saw the word DREAM at the end of ON official MV. It could be either representing the theme of MOTS7 (which I doubt) or a hint to what's going to come next.

Following with ON, we've noticed that in some of their ON performances some @BTS_twt members appears with temporary tattoos of words in Latin (Namjoon, Hobi and Jimin). Here a thread where I explain better the reason why (imo) behind these tattoos.

However let's take a look at these tattoos briefly:
🐥's tattoos shows opposition, coexistence. Self-containment of opposites on an evolutionary stage.
This evolutionary stage can be seen in Fairy Tales, which coincidentally is the ARMY ZIP theme this year.

During the ARMY ZIP we saw one question being asked to every member: Rebirth. 🐿's tattoos are focused more on the concept of Rebirth. Mentioning the Phoenix, which in the Chinese culture represents the Yin-Yang, the balance, the coexistence of opposites.

Keeping up with the Fairy tales it help us to interpret archetypal images that we see in our dreams.
And it show us the development of the main character, showing us how they face their hardships and how those lead them to attain a more mature personality.

C.G. Jung considered Fairy tales as the "Principium indivisuationis", the basic structure that acts as a self-portrait or the unconscious, that weve to interpret the way we interpret out dreams. Connecting like this with 🐨's tattoo related to the principal base.

So, ON tattoos end up being connected between them and being linked to DREAM as well.

Now let's go with YOUTH. This is a new keyword but we've seen it before all along BTS works. I'd like to concentrate more in HYYH pt2.

In HYYH pt2 there were also keywords related to the concept photos. Those from "Papillon" concept photos linked with MOS but those from "Je ne regrette rien" weren't used yet. During HYYH pt2 they used "Peter Pan" like concept as well.

Peter Pan is a Fairy Tale but it's also an exemplary of the Puer Aertenus or eternal boy archetype (YOUTH).

When I was looking into HYYH pt2 keywords I was also reading the book Demian (which Wings album was inspired as well) and I found a quote that was talking about the youth. It seemed to fit with the theme of YOUTH and happiness.

Yet at the same time it was mentioning the FEAR of growing up, the fear of taking responsibilities. Reason why youth is related to freedom and happiness, a phase where we wise to stay. However cycle says that we've to grow up (Boy to man HYYH pt2 keyword).

https://twitter.com/__Samira7__/status/1381253415444045826

This links with what Joseph Campbell said:
"The boy has to face the masked man in order to become an adult, gaining the POWER that represents the society. K*ll!ng the infantile EGO (dependency) and coming into the mature EGO (authority)."

Going along with Carl Jung's thought about the fact that "the EGO needs a renewal", the rebirth of the self.

And that was what they did at MOS ON:E concert: bringing those dismembered parts into relationship with one another so that something new emerges.

To end this thread, at the end of 2020 @BTS_twt used this VCR:
- Young Forever: YOUTH, a phase in life that stays forever, in our memories.

- Euphoria: HAPPINESS, but in this case is ephemeral.

Happiness makes me wonder what type of happiness we're talking about the one based on material things, illusions like Omelas, or real happiness?! That goes along with Nietzsche Last Man concept which takes us to "Who Am I?!" Question. The Existentialism.

https://twitter.com/__Samira7__/status/1142202253253709825

- Never Mind: Boy to Man, Youth is not coming back. This mindset reminds me to the Taoism. To keep going forward no matter what, going along with the flow of life without looking back too much.

Well sorry for this long thread and for posting late. Hope it was easy to understand and helpful.
Thank you for reading 💜

P.s. Forgot to quote the twt where you can see the keywords used for HYYH pt2 both concept photos.
