BTS Theories
Welcome back everyone to the 6th track of Mono: everythingoes (지나가). I hope you had a wonderful Jin day and that you’re all enjoying Indigo! I am absolutely in love with Indigo oh my goodness. Did you identify some wordplay, parallels and connections to Mono and Namjoon’s story? My favourite wordplay of the moment is …
Welcome back everyone to the 5th track of Mono: Uhgood (어긋). As someone who feels trapped in destructive thoughts and constantly dreams about her ideal self, this song is like a dagger to my heart. The disappointment that he felt towards himself and constant self blaming is so relatable and my heart breaks knowing the …
Welcome back everyone to another Mono analysis. Badbye is possibly my favourite track in this mixtape. This track gives me a rush of complex emotions in a short 113 seconds – sadness, contentment, sorrow, acceptance, heaviness, lightness, shattering, bursting, endlessness, finality and liberation. It’s short, but my goodness does it create a lasting impression of …

New readers, you’re about to jump into the middle of Namjoon’s life and if you haven’t read my previous blog posts where I’ve tied together Namjoon’s story from 2013 up to 2018 through his lyrics (mostly …

Hi everyone Hope you’ve all been keeping well! I had a burst of inspiration and so I decided I better capitalise on that and type out all the thoughts I have been harbouring in my head all this time. Mono is such an exciting mixtape to analyse because Namjoon stated in his fancafe post that …
Hi everyone, Welcome back to the final song of my Love Yourself Theory: So What. My goodness am I excited and I hope you are too! When I started this blog I was really unsure if I was ever going to get here! So let’s finish the picture by placing the final piece of the …
Hi everyone, Welcome back to Love Maze, the second last song in my Love Yourself Theory and a song I dearly love. Over the last few posts, we discovered the hardships and trials in 바다 (Sea), the plea for reconciliation in 134340, and the realisation that paradise can be right in front of you in …
Welcome back everyone to another post. I hope you’ve all been taking care of your health and staying happy! Today we are going to be discussing the 3rd last song of the Love Yourself trilogy: 낙원 (Paradise). Similarly to 134340, 낙원 (Paradise) was one of the songs I went “huh?!” the first time I listened …
Hi everyone, Hope you’re all going well and apologies for the long interval between posts! Welcome back! Today, we are going to be talking about 134340. The title ‘134340’ puzzled me greatly when I first listened to it. It is just such an odd and unintuitive name for a song. A more intuitive name for …

Hi everyone, Hope you’re all having an amazing day and welcome back to Pied Piper. Today, we are going to begin our analysis of the third group of songs: Pied Piper, 바다 (Sea), 134340, 낙원 (Paradise), Love Maze and So What. The way I like to think about this group is: The songs we have …
Hey everyone! Hope everyone is having an amazing weekend and FESTA! I also just realised thanks to WordPress and Twitter notifications that… today is my first anniversary! Believe it or not, I posted my first blog post and tweet on 13 June 2020. I was so new to BTS last year that I did not …

Welcome back everyone to another post! This was such an interesting song to write about, I felt like I uncovered a lot more than I originally thought I would! And the rhyming of the lyrics – yeoowwch! Amazing. However, I am not going to discuss any rhyming unless there is some sort of significance otherwise …
