#BTS members in 'Seven Phases', by James Jean comparing the each member to the spirit of flowers 🧶
1) KIM NAMJOON (Moonchild #RM) the Guardian of the Night.
Crescent moon at the top of the canvas refers to “night/moon". The child is sitting under the moonlight, namjoon’s dragon
eyes are zoomed in his wings. He is the symbol of “guardian angel" who is assigned to protect and guide a group (방탄소년단). Namjoon being their guardian angel always want to remind them of the importance of love, to relax and surrender to their feelings, because they are good.
2) KIM SEOKJIN (Narcissus Jin) ㅡ the Fundamental Beauty
the ancient Greek myth about a beautiful young man who was in love with his own beauty, so much that it cost him his life as a human being. Narcissus symbolizes a) hidden talents and business success,
b) it could be a reminder of a too proud and self-obsessed young man Narcissus from Greek mythology….And the most abundant message Seokjin gives to us is value ourselves, but also to makes sure, we don’t get self-obsessed and love people around us.
3) MIN YOONGI (Meowtide SUGA) ㅡ the strength of courage and challenges.
The presence of tidal waves and the ocean creatures shows Yoongi’s strength of courage.
“The tide teaches us to live with mystery and complexity,” he tells us. “It lives in the body of a mudshrimp,
signaling when to swim and when to burrow. It lives in sandpipers, crabs, and whelks. The tide is vibration, music, time.” ㅡ Jonathan White.
The key to Yoongi’s puzzle of ‘meowtide' is the attractive force of the moon i.e “gravity.”This was a challenge for Newton to prove
“gravitational force" whose reference is used as the spirit flower of Min Yoongi, who is always prepared for any challenge and has the strength to fight against any storm.
4) JUNG HOSEOK (Solaria j-hope) ㅡ the source of light
The name “Solaria” is of Latin origin and means Light derived from 'sol' meaning 'sun’. The purple horse is the symbol of “iris". The purple iris has always been associated with divine powers, with mysterious forces.
It also represents special connection between heaven and earth. Hobi is a sign of divine guidance. It means there are divine and noble forces that watch upon you and want you to become the person you have great potentials to be…jhope is the source of light as ‘sunshine’ of BTS
5) PARK JIMIN (Champignon Jimin) ㅡ the beginning of vitality
Champignon have a long, ancient history of use amongst traditional hunter-gatherer cultures with a deeply shamanic worldview. Mushrooms do the work of the Underworld. They recycle, they transform and absorb. They grow
deep down underground, from the womb of Mother nature. It’s a place of chaos, transformation and often a place of Ancestors and is tied to rebirth and the recycling of everything that has died. It’s often portrayed as a womb or a deep underground cave. In the artwork, you
can see Jimin holding so many champignon which unveils him as the “inner force of bangtan". He gives energy and courage to the members behind-the-curtains
(i added his picture with bubbles because it seemed closer to the image even though they’re mushrooms)
6) KIM TAEHYUNG (Violante V) ㅡ a mysterious purple jewel
Violante comes from Greek and Latin origin meaning "purple flower". Purple stone (Amethyst) are reported to open a person’s third eye. The third eye is considered to be a source of power and wisdom.
what V has attached on his body is a mysterious purple gem. Purple inspires us to divulge our innermost thoughts. As a result, we gain a more profound understanding of who we are. This level of imagination gives way to spiritual growth and guidance.
“Violante" has the mixture of ‘violet’ and ‘vante' which is Taehyung’s photography pseudonym, inspired by his favorite photographer, Ante Badzim and Van Gogh. Taehyung likes jazz, and saxophone plays a very important role in that genre, thus saxophone is also present in the art
7) JEON JUNGKOOK (Cottontail Jungkook) ㅡ an existence that spreads happiness.
Rabbit (cottontail animal) spiritually deals primarily with abundance, comfort, and vulnerability. The hare also embraces gifts of fertility, sentiment, desire, and procreation.
In other words, you have a wealth of creativity right now and should make good use of it. Bunny people are quick to succeed and are highly skilled at success. They are also generous in advising people around them.
If you merge all the sketches of BTS as Flower spirits, you’ll get the Latin expression “solve et coagula”. It is derived from “solve,” meaning to break down and separate, while “coagula” describes the process of bringing elements back together.

Namjoon’s instagram story
Hollywood Baby by 100 gecs released Feb 16th, 2023
“Are you looking down a mountain?
What you crying 'bout, crying 'bout, crying 'bout now?
Do you buckle under pressure?
Go tumbling, tumbling, tumbling down” #RM#rkiveplaylist
It seems to be a satirical commentary on the
shallow and superficial lifestyle of
Hollywood, as well as the pressure and
expectations that come with trying to make it
in the entertainment industry. The chorus,
"You'll never make it in Hollywood, baby"
may be mocking the idea of
the "Hollywood
dream" and the expense and effort people
put into trying to achieve it.
The lyrics also touch on the theme of societal
pressure and expectations, particularly in the
lines "Do you buckle under pressure? / Go
tumbling, tumbling, tumbling down."
