DKDKTV Danny looks Hot with his Pink Hoodie🔥🤓😌😎
Could you please activate subtitles in Spanish? I think your videos are very interesting, but I can't understand much, I don't speak English.
@@asensangtam6338 i didn't want to say that out loud, but that was my first thought. 😜😎
KPop Rocks ! That may have been one time with a specific reason, but most of the videos I’ve seen he is a BTS fan and backs them up a lot. I like that even though he likes the group and encourages and backs them up he is not afraid to ask or put out the hard questions. That does not mean he doesn’t like them any less or doesn’t support them any less. I would rather have a friendly devil’s advocate than a hostile one. By the way I’m old army on both time and age and have watched him and others for a long time. I have seen things that connect him to them and BTS does watch and read a lot of what people post. What I find horrifying is your response and the attack you made. It was viscous and UN ARMY like. The fact that ORIGINAL ARMY has not attacked him( as they are most protective) should be your clue that he is not trying to destroy BTS or run them out. That response is not a love yourself and try to remain open no fighting response. Please rethink. WORDS have power and what and how you say things could grow out of your control or perspective. As you are a fan I think we should try and up hold how BTS wants us to present ourselves to ourselves, each other and the world. I just want you to be able to get your thoughts out without attacking someone who has done nothing to you personally. Not only does BTS NOT stand for that but that is one definition of being a bully. Which was not what you where trying to do. Like I said words have power and misstated or misinterpreted could cause things to blow out of hand. So in the future to try to think of what you want to say and reread it before you post. Once it is posted even if you delete it someone has seen it at least once unless it’s immediate. I am older than 50 just to put it out there and I do like BTS very much. I have , read and listened to mega amounts of videos, articles and music. I am sorry if this was a little harsh. I just watched an interview were they said they wanted us all to be healthy and happy as they were. Then I saw your comment which was neither healthy or happy. You can clap back at me , rage at me , or any other means of venting any frustration or anger felt because of my comment. I won’t look at it again. And I love myself enough to try to treat people with the respect they deserve and to listen to their OPINION wether they agree with me or not. That is what makes a good meaningful conversation. Have a great day. GO BTS💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 I believe in you guys because you are paving your own road. Good for you. ...... by the way I hope you have a great 2020 ❤️💜😊
It's very good that you guys are taking other theories into consideration even if you don't agree with everything but sometimes you can find things that make a lot of sense that someone else has come up with in their research like Bookish Theories. There are so many connections to things like movies (the maze runner, lord of the rings, the lion king), religious images (Noah, Jesus, crown of thorns , the conch shell from buddhism and hinduism, the temple with lit candles) that connect to resurrection and rebirth. There is also a lot of visual connection to BTS's art project "connect BTS". The mythological and religious themes carl Jung used in his theories about the human psyche and about how many ideas that are similar are depicted across different cultures and time periods like rebirth or resurrection stories. And story archetypes like the eternal journey or the hero's journey that are depicted in things like movies lord of the rings, maze runner, the lion king, etc. These are all powerful stories that evoke emotional responses to their visual representations and resonate with many people from all walks of life, all of humanity. We may not share the exact same beliefs but there is something to be said for themes and ideas that move many people in a similar way and connect us with each other.
BTS stands for peace:
Jin against war and violence (the doves and battlefield imagery)
Jungkook for freedom (running from someplace with his hands bound),
Jimin for self-expression (the drums tossed into a haphazard pile, showing that they might be about to be destroyed),
Taehyung for protecting young people (the girl whose blindfold he removes and joins hands with),
Namjoon against the extinction of animals (the ark run aground),
J-Hope against environmental destruction (the destroyed forest stretching out into the horizon),
Yoongi against fanaticism which divides and oppresses people (the cult-like imagery?)
They want everyone (especially young people) to join together and fight for a better future.
Wow! That's an excellent interpretation.
Tia O Thank you!! ^_^
Absolutely beautiful and insightful!! Thank you so much!
Taehyung commented on these kind of interpretations :)
Woooow
danny gave himself so much during the map of the soul period, that i think he completed himself the very process of individuation through the BTS mvs
Ive been reborn as carl jung
DKDKTV best comment ever
DKDKTV HAHAHHAAHHAHAHAHAH Danny Jung 😂
@KPop Rocks ! he never said that, in fact, better see the video yourself before talking. And it's time to let that anger go. Really.
@KPop Rocks ! Can we forget about it and not dig the knife deeper into the wound. Everyone makes mistakes! And I don't want anymore drama. Leave it!
"Gotta go insane to stay sane"
Carl Jung purposefully put himself through psychosis in order to study his psyche, and that's where he wrote many of his ideas on individuation. Obviously, this isn't something people should do, but it is interesting how that's related.
That is fascinating
Psychosis is a structure, you can't "put yourself through" it. You may develop a psychosis through many years of hard drugs, but it's not something you can do on purpose.
@@LynnHermione
"Most people who have psychosis or hallucinations seek to minimize their symptoms, to drown out the visions and hallucinations. After first experiencing these visions, Jung did just the opposite. He found the experience so exhilarating and full of unconscious content that could be further examined, he didn’t just wait for the visions to come on their own. Instead, he encouraged their appearance throughout the day, for years.
After dinner each night and in-between seeing patients during the day, Jung spent time in his study inducing the visions and hallucinations. He did this not through the use of any kind of drug, apparently, but instead through his own personal methods that allowed his unconscious mind to become totally open and flowing forth."
he didn't create his own _psychosis_ but op meant he put himself through the psychotic episodes which he claimed to induce purposefully
Lmao, Danny said "keep up, I'm not going to explain the Jungian concepts again."
Don't make me explain what a shadow is again lol
@@DKDKTV i think i live in the shadow
you guys should totally do a video about UGH!
Coming this friday!
DKDKTV i’ll be here. 👍
@@DKDKTV yayyyyy can't wait >< I looked at like 3 translations and they're all different so I was kinda confused xD
DKDKTV dang it's gonna be fire
@@DKDKTV Yaay! I was coming here to say this. I NEED a Korean to explain it to me. The translation just isn't enough what with all the vernacular in there.
Damn, BTS really out here telling me to not only love myself but to accept the flaws I dislike about myself. I stan the right group :')
Yes:D
Here's an interesting detail I've noticed - during the dance break, their shirts have specific details on them. If you look closely they form a chainmail armour - the medieval version of a bulletproof vest. 😁
Lmfao I noticed that as well
Whoa, I noticed the details on the clothes, but I didn’t know it referenced to bulletproof vests
DKDKTV: * Posts BTS-ON Explanation Video *
Me: Remembers Jimin saying: I don't know what the M/V is about, and I even saw the storyboard
DKDKTV is the army who post theories and all. Jimin is me an army who read bunch of theories and still understand nothing. But jimin is worst. He read the storyline and still .. Understand .. Nothing😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@iekalursan1084 JIMIN is worst 😡😡😡😡 Are you mad
@@imniharika bruh it’s a joke lmao
Can you stop being so serious every time
It’s obvious the person who commented is an army and wasn’t hating on Jimin… We know in what context did that person write that sentence..
*IN FAKE LOVE EXTENDED VERSION THE GUYS IN HOODIES WEAR MASK AND A WALL DROPS*
*AND HERE THE WALL OPENS AND WE CAN SEE ITS BTS WITHOUT MASK IN HOODIES*
does this mean that in fake love they covered their face with a mask symbolising that they created a persona that acts according to the expectations of their loved ones (army) i.e the whole idea behind fake love and that wall that drops at the end symbolising that there is a barrier between them and us which is their shadows
Now that the wall is finally opened and they overcame their shadows ,so they are in the hoodies but without masks which says that they are themselves and there is no more fake love
also towards the end they climb a cliff ( maybe their carrier and success ) following their leader and the video ends when they were halfway up which says there is more success to climb coming on their way
I love how the music videos connect! great analysis! :)
As Aru said, great analysis!
its also another reference to a novel called Lord of the flies. They boys represent the choir boys, when they have gone insane and started going to natural instincts, this representing their shadows, while they themselves are accepting it, letting it live in them. because in the novel, the choir boys were slowly going from humane to to insane, they soon snapped out of it and realized what they have done, and now live knowing both of themselves.
Ahhhhh I love your interpretation.
I’m like Jimin.... I don’t know what this mv is about ..... that’s why I’m watching multiple theory videos
🤣🤣
Relateble...😂
The child actress said that V told her that she would be playing his lost sister
I saw it too, but don't quite remember where from.
@@silvervalentine4956 probably from the behind the scenes vid
The "Gotta go insane to stay sane" has always reminded me of another quote from a Jimmy Buffett song "If we weren't all crazy, we'd just go insane."
Also kinda reminds me of a lyric from a song called I Found by Amber Run. “talk enough sense and you’ll lose your mind”
Also reminds me of the saying “there’s a method to the madness”
Also reminds me of Seal's song Crazy. "You know we never gonna survive unless we get a little bit crazy".
This is the first thing I thought of 😊
It also reminds me of a line from Robert Frosts 'A Servant of Servants': The best way out is always through.
You can not overcome your pain if you don't face it.
My interpretation is that they will soon release the next video that will start with Jin holding JK on the top of that rock, like a little Simba lion, ;)
tbh I was low-key wishing he did that .. when the video ended I was like .. wait what about the circle of life moment
🤣 please Big Hit make it happen 🙏
I thought the 6 would hold JK up for the Simba moment.
DONT MAKE ME LAUGH AT 4 AM IN THE MORNING IT’S NOT GOOD HAHAHAHAHAHA
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
what i think is that the greatest art pieces always start discussion, and make ppl think. maybe the idea of the MV was to vaguely give us a storyline, but leave a lot to interpret and theorize about. beside being good for business, it also gives ARMY a tool to grow, to learn, to think, and to try to find our own understanding. maybe no answer is right or wrong, just your own answer is the right for yourself.
Danny, thank you for the video, for your work, it is much appreciated. i'm sure it took a long time to try to make some sense of it all. good work :)
A tool to grow, to use their brain (armies). Yes, I believe you are right. Throught these songs and MVs, Bighit and BTS try to make people think, feel and grow as person. The journey is important, and at the end of it, you become a better human being. I wish more armies (or, just people) would think of that.
These should actually be titled “BTS - ON: A Korean guy’s interpretation” to be accurate and to help this ridiculous culture of kpop fans/people assuming and jumping to conclusions about everything lol so many people claim to know the true intentions and meanings behind every little thing kpop artists do and say, and that is NOT good! It’d led to so many false rumors and fake news everywhere, kpop fans have a rep for being extreamly toxic to others and to the artists themselves even more, as a fan myself we all need to become more transparent and write things and label them accurately. If it’s you interpretation of a song or lyrics than WRITE THAT AS A DISCLAIMER! Seriously, people are gonna read your titles and how you always write them to sound as if they’re the official explanations / meanings will and have seriously misled people, and while I understand it’s so you can trick them into believing yours is the official line, it’s very selfish to do so lol. Even you had quickly mentioned that this and that are your theories on this vid briefly. As a fan of yours and kpop in General I’m trying to help you and all of us as a whole as kpop culture needs to change so that it doesn’t become more toxic! And a good starting point is by correcting the little details like what I mentioned, because they have large effects.
@@Dominicn123 hi. I think Danny did a really good job trying to decipher a very complex and vague video. If they/he wants it called ON explained, I have no problem with it. Of course it's his opinion, I don't think it has to be explicitly be written in the title. If it would be the "truth" /official explain, it would come from BH, don't you think? Anything else is just a personal opinion of the video maker, not word of God...
“I fly with the Black Wind”
Didn’t know that this line was reflecting “don’t let me fly” in “Shadow”
Oooooh
😮😮😮
And let me fly from BWL
I have been waiting for the explanation of BTS "ON" by dkdktv like forever. Finally the wait is over😍😍
That girl's real name is RINA .. he pronounced it as LEENA by mistake . He also told her that she plays the part of his missing sister.
exactly my first thought when Danny talk about it
it’s not by mistake. he pronounced “leena” because that’s how you pronounce Rina in Korean
@@kessliii yea Ik that's what I meant
@@sonakshi9181 love your username 😂
I’ve seen a post of that girl commenting on her filming of the MV and she mentioned she’s half Japanese, so Leena would be a good alternate pronunciation of her name, since in japanese there’s no distinct pronunciation for R and L, it’s something in between.
*After seeing the behind the scenes of this MV I'm wondering if Taehyung is watching this.*
He said he likes ARMY's theories. And y'all do make the best theories so honestly I wouldn't be surprised if he'll watch it!
Oh and one thing I would say is that I thought of Jungkook as more of a representation of Jesus. He has the thorny bondage, and in the behind the scenes video he explained that his character was doing fine in there, but he had a special power/gift and they threw him out of that city. But the point about Marry Magdalene makes a lot of sense, I didn't think of that before. It does seem to fit well.
And also thank you so much for this explanation! I always wait for y'all before I make a concrete conclusion of the meaning ;)
Honestly your theory actually makes sense while taking the lyrics and the whole conscious/sub conscious concept in consideration! Thanks for the video!!!
Okay. I stopped this video midway because I was mindblown. I was looking for a logical interpretation and it seems like this is it.
Can you believe I cried almost at the end of this video?
I can't believe how much hard work has been put into ON. I know every BTS song is more deep than we think but still. They never seize to impress me. This is huge! I wonder how pong it takes the team to come up with all these ideas because it is literally perfect. The execution of their career is flawless. I'm glad I found them!
"Gotta go insane to stay sane" reminded me of Pirandello and the concept of "follia" (craziness). it's a little bit tricky to explain but I'm gonna try (feel free to correct me):
in order to survive the daily routine (along with all the challenges), his characters need to have a "crazy habit" which doesn't conform to their all behaved personality that everybody knows. Once they start having this habit, they become portrayed as "insane" in the eyes of the "normal" society.
In reality, the characters are awake, since they are aware of their surroundings ( the system, the social/economical traps ie working in order to provide economically to the family, having a good position in society, having a good reputation ecc).
Therefore the "crazy habit" is a getaway that helps them to cope up with life (and life's traps).
In conclusion, the question is: who is really insane? Those who don't know or those who are awake?
I hope it's all clear
Thank you for coming to my ted talk 🤭
Danny explains a lot better than how my teachers do
Even though it's not actually in the Bible, "The Little Drummer Boy" is a Christmas Carol about a boy summoned by the Magi to the Nativity of Jesus.
KpopGrrl Here is a link with lyrics ua-cam.com/video/_6p5icEYBus/v-deo.html
I thought the same thing when Jimin's scene came up with the boy sitting on the truck holding his drum. I loved that Christmas Carol growing up...still do. The lyrics always touch me and make me teary eyed. "Little baby
, I am a poor boy too, I have no gift to bring, That's fit to give our King, Shall I play for you, On my drum" I love when the drummer boys says, "I am a poor boy too". Jesus was born with the most humble beginnings, literally born in a barn with animals, and laid in a feeding trough, and the this boy could relate to his King because they were both poor.
Guys, you should watch the 'priest reacts to BTS on video' from jolly! In that video the priest gives some insight in a lot of the biblical references and I think he's spot on with some of his explanations! (I thought you guys might like extra theories, keep on the good work, I live for your video's!)
There’s actually another biblical reference when the sky grows dark after Jungkook blows on the conch shell. In the gospels, in the hours before Jesus died, God made the sky turn dark and I’m pretty certain it was at this time God made Jesus carry the burden of every human’s sin on his own making Jesus ask why he was ‘forsaken’. This time was a crux moment in the Bible which I think can be transferred both in terms of the literal images in the MV and the psyche. The meaning relating to psyche is probably that the dance battle is symbolic of their darkest moment. The moment just before they have fully accepted their Shadows in which they can see their deepest aspects in full light and have to face what they see there, just like Jesus did when he was burdened with the world’s sin. After this, everything grows lush, obviously symbolising that they were successful in their fight and are ‘enlightened’, ascending to ‘heaven’ just like Jesus did at the end of his return to earth. They are fully accepting of their own demons and hidden angels and thus, like Jesus removing the barriers between human and God, are pure enough to make this ascension now. Now bringing in a few more literal things: Jungkook blowing on the conch shell could be a reference to Jesus’ cry “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” A desperate cry for help in a moment of great need. Unlike Jesus who had to suffer alone, Jungkook has his hyungs there and the dance symbolises that they (and ARMY) will all fight together to promote this self acceptance. The fire after the dance battle can also symbolise the moment of death of who they were previously just like Jesus death being physically represented in the torn temple curtains. Because the old them had to die in order for a better version of themselves to thrive. From then on it is simply the symbolic representation of the world becoming more beautiful as a result of suffering due to humans being able to have a relationship with God and then Jesus returning to ascend once more, BTS running up the cliff. I hope this made sense, forgive the massive amounts of detail, I went to a catholic school and had an Anglican family so I heard the story WAY too many times.
Trash Rose Don’t apologize. I loved reading this.❤️
I have been enlightened.
Thank you so much for your clarification 💜
this makes so much sense I totally agree with the general idea of what you're saying, I'm Muslim so I don't know if this will be valid since the mv is mostly Christian like (I think) but in Islam, there is two "blowing in Trumpet", before the Judgment Day an angel named israfil blows in trumpet looks like a horn, the first people get stunned and die by it, then God descends rain as in shadow (literal translation) "I think this is very clear in the mv when everything gets dark and the dance break happens" Then blows another and they are standing up look"we can say it happens after the dance break finishes(?)". after that Judgment Day starts. and good people go to heaven and the bad to hell.
I feel like this really goes with everything you said about the dance break being (symbolic of their darkest moment, The moment just before they have fully accepted their Shadows) aka the day of judgment which everything will be faced then (i think they used the religious stories as a metaphor for the struggles one faces finding their true selves (heaven>ego,death>shadow) as in you can't find heaven without facing death
sorry if this doesn't make sense at all I'm having a hard time explaining what I understand since it's so complicated
Another interpretation-in Hinduism the sound of the conch shell is associated with the sound Om which is what is believed to be the first sound of creation which could be applied to the growth of all that green.
I love your interpretation. Also, I saw the conch shell as a call to war/victory cry like in the bible when they blew the rams horns (?) And the walls of Jericho fell.
David’s gonna explain Ugh 😂😂 y’all really had to say it
I find it extremely funny when people even try to compare BTS to other groups just by their various records and numbers while those things aren’t even a teeny tiny part of the reason why they’re the miracle of this century❤
Initially with this MV I thought Jin resurrected the dove but he seemed surprised when it resurrected in the cage. JK was kicked from society for being suspected of "witchcraft" for his powers (one of which is resurrecting the dead) Jin didn't resurrect the dive JK did when he himself resurrected. Everyone was in ancient clothing when JK collapsed but laid there a LONG time because when Hobi appears the young trees were ANCIENT and Hobi was the only one in modern clothing after JK "rose from his long "sleep" the dove resurrected and when he went to the pond he ALSO seemed to go back to the original timeline because the trees were young again. We always knew that Jin could "time travel" but it seems JK has the most power and ultimately controls the timeline in BU eta: is this a new storyline or stand alone or will it somehow be added to BU when that storyline continues
I'm really confused, I'm not good with theories
Somebody pointed out that bighit always add “BU universe” or whatever it is on the MVs that are connected to that alternative BTS universe... this one doesn’t have the BU at the end in the description section, so some people are saying it’s a new storyline perhaps
This mv is not related to the bu
LeAnn Miles Why is there a duck beside your name?
@@rose-ke6qm I think because I am a Pateron subscriber and all supporters have a duck next to their name right?
Jimin's part reminds me of The Battle of Jericho, and the stacks of drums (to me) represent the lack of people to stand with their drums and fight. Therefore, the battle was lost instead.
I am baffled , humbled and awed at the sheer imagery , the complicated lyrics, the storyline, the indepth analysis by BTS in MAP OF THE SOUL 7... how do you these adorable, gorgeous goofballs come up with such serious matters to think, convey and get people thinking n addicted to...???!!!
GENIUSES .. SERIOUSLY..
DAMN I need to sit n think my life over now...😵
BTS 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Rewatching this again and again knowing how BTS shows their emtions just proves how real they show their personalities and fears and dreams with fans. The lines everyone sings fits to the ongoing story of how they view life
Its true that the only way to get rid of the pain, fear and darkness within you is to stop running away from it, face it, and walk straight into it. Once you reach the eye of the storm you find not only peace and serenity but beauty as well and the storm goes away.
Thank you for this DKDKTV. I have always been a fan of your ‘Explained’ series cause it really opened my eyes to korean culture and references that as a kpop fan from another country, would never have guessed or thought about.
As an I-Army, the ON MV was probably the most globalized and far-reaching MV that BTS has ever put out. No matter the theories you formulate, you cannot deny that the video makes references to issues and subjects that people from all over the world can relate to (regardless of the language barrier).
This is what makes me appreciate the BTS we have now. They are artists who remain true to their Korean identity but also recognize the impact they have on a global scale. And to use the MV and all of their music to bring about a message of change, self-love and identity exploration to people all over the world truly warms my heart. I’m proud to be an army.
Borahaeeeee 💜💜💜
Map Of The Soul: 7 is a Masterpiece
This song is a major HIT and J-Hope's part is something else...
I’m excited to see the UGH! Explanation Video...👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
That’s crazy how I get a WHOLE psychology lesson with bts videos.. I applaud
I think that there are multiple layers of messages that all kind of overlap. Here's my main theory:
Jin kneeling before the dove: Peace is dead, destroyed by the battle that killed ARMY (I would infer it was a battle ARMY fought against themselves, but that might be a stretch)
Jungkook running away from a compound after they reject him, arms bound with thorns: trying to escape restrictions and find freedom (also the thorns are a biblical reference)
Jimin with the child and pile of drums: No one playing the drums, no ARMY being called together
V in a cross position next to the blind child (biblical reference)
RM standing in front of a broken boat with exotic animals: Noah’s ark reference, the meaning being ‘I am a prophet. Pay attention to this message before it’s too late’
Jin in mourning, covers the cage
Jimin points to the sky and then to the child with the drum: delivering a divine directive, calling ARMY together
The cage moves: once ARMY is called together peace can be revived
Jungook runs through the forest, then collapses: his weakness is showing and it’s too hard to attain freedom
J-Hope is singing after Jungkook has fallen is picked at by a crow: J-Hope is addressing their weakness “Bring the pain it’ll become my blood and flesh; no fear now I know the way [to be free]... these are the things that give me the power to be me… *even if I fall I come up and scream*”
Suga with the candlelight vigil: Even if they fall, ARMY is there to watch out and care for them. After he says “Even if I’m on my knees if they don’t get buried it doesn’t matter” They all stand, when BTS & ARMY stand together we will “win no matter what”
The child starts playing the drum: calling ARMY to gather together and stand with BTS
V uncovers the blind girl’s eyes and the wall opens: BTS opens our eyes and tears down the walls that separate us
Jungkook makes it to the water: [after realizing the way to freedom] he washes away the thorns (his pain/weakness)
The rest of BTS and ARMY finally gather together in front of the wall, with Jin holding the covered cage and then releases the dove: with ARMY & BTS together standing strong, they can bring peace to the world.
Then Jungkook blows the shell horn, turning his shackles into the song/message that shakes and changes the whole world and simultaneously calls ARMY into action
The dance break is the revolution: We see ARMY, who are the downtrodden, underdogs of the world, dancing with BTS and moving to bring revolutionary change
BTS in robes, Jungkook holding the shell horn: BTS will lead the way to the new world with their message/songs
Fire rains down from the sky, burning away the old world. As the flames clear away, the land beyond the wall grows green and full of life: once we can see clearly and move beyond our walls, we can all thrive.
RM (our prophet), raises his fist: triumph, greeting the new world
… I can’t even get into all the walking up the Pride Rock/Lion King references buuut basically Jungkook = Simba and/or maybe Jesus. There are themes of redemption and revitalization, leading the way to a better future.
I think this is Danny's favorite sweater 😂
I like how you guys explain things that goes along with the lyrics. It helps make sense of it all to me. I’ve seen a couple of other theories and it still kinda confuses me. Definitely keep the format of how you explain things with the lyrics first. 💜
Wohh this is deep ...memebers must have been digging deeper to express such deeper emotions omg !
And the staff in the production of this mv must have studied a lot wow ! Hella work but its work of an art 💜
This was great!!! I was looking forward to all the explained but thanx for mentioning Bookish Theories. Plus, I look forward to David's explanation of UGH!!
@@sanearmy6153 Because there is cultural context to what they're saying. Just like the explained for Ddaeng, which had tons of metaphors, wordplay and double entendres, the same is happening for UGH.
This has always been the thing I enjoyed about Bangtan rap line. When they speak on something or someone, they are very concise in ripping folks to shreds. It's almost a shame some folks aren't bright enough to know how bad they got dissed. I enjoy that a lot.
@@sanearmy6153 Yeah, if you haven't already, go checkout Danny and David's DdaengE EXPLAINED. You'll understand more of why ARMY loves these vids so much.
Finally..
Have been waiting for this !!
great job. i can't imagine how much time went into trying to decipher all the hidden meanings.
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS THANK YOUUU
I’ve been WAITING for this video. Almost as excited for this as I was for the comeback.
thank you for doing this!! we really appreciate it xx
I think the biblical allusions were used to convey that the journey through one's mind is a spiritual process. Great explained video!
This was an amazing analysis! There’s so many theories but you thought of a lot I didn’t even think of! *thank you so much for making this video and doing all the research you did*
Love you ! Peace from New York!
you forgot to explain the "no more dream" in the end
ugh is the most looked forward explained now! thank you!
I feel like this is the best explanation I’ve seen. Nice job!
This was absolutely amazing great job Danny
Thank you guys for making these videos even though they aren't monetized! I really enjoy watching them, because you two are able to draw out points I haven't seen many others mention.
Yesss been waiting for this:)
This is really, really thoughtful and terrific. Thank you for sharing it!
Awesome 👏 stay healthy Danny! Thanks for your in-depth analysis. We are witnessing your growth here as well. The individuation process continues well into advanced age. BTS brings this process into our awareness with their music and lyrics. It’s a great journey connecting with people along the way. That scene where Joon leading everyone to the open wall is so symbolic. What a production!
the line "find me and im gonna live with ya" has always interested me. i think its referring to a confrontation and assimilation between the self and the shadow - like in the novel "a wizard of earthsea", the only way to end the conflict with your shadow is to accept and "live with" it. so to me this line is a direct statement to the repressed elements of the self, which always pursue us hungrily (like ged's shadow being) until we face them and name them as ourselves.
Was waiting for this video! 🙏🙌
You're Awesome Dany, thank you for your hard work!
I was waiting for UGH!!!!
BTW keep doing this type of content. It really helps us .
Thanks dkdktv. 💜💜💜
They said they'll be posting it on Friday.
One of the best explained you guys have done yet! It was so good!
Thank you Danny! So very much appreciated!!
The little boy with a drum is a personification of Joshua who in the old testament blew his horn and the walls of the city of Jericho crumbled to dust. The drum is substituted for a horn here. But there's also Jungkook blowing his conch shell and that's horn like in terns of sound.
THANK YOU so much for breaking this down with logic. I felt a lot of what you were saying when I watched the MV, but didn't know how to express it with the correct references. Strong work!
I do think the there are also references to Herman Hesse's Demian, as so much of the visuals in the ON video harken back to Blood, Sweat, and Tears (the blindfolding, the black spidering under the skin, biblical references, etc).
This video is such a series finale in a sense, that combining all past symbolism from other videos seems to make sense.
Thank you so much DKDKTV for these explained series. It does really help us grasp what these brilliant minds of BTS are trying to convey. Much much appreciated. You have a great mind yourself. Indeed great minds think alike.
I WAS WAITING FOR THISSSSS
i rly appreciate how much thought and research you guys do even as bts’ music (and your subsequent explanations) has evolved away from just culturally korean concepts/social commentary. i hope you’ve learned a lot with us on this journey 🤓
these r always so fascinating to watch danny!
I am thankful for your hard work and efforts in this review..awesome stuff...I always look forward to whatever you and David has to say...love from Jamaica
Well done, Danny. I really liked this interpretation 💜
Eye-opening and thought-provoking. This was great. Thank you 🙂
I really enjoy your videos man 😊 keep up the good work and thank you for what you do!!!
4:09 So proud. SO PROUD! You got it. Perfect. Well done!
Yess!!! i was waiting for you to talk about this x))
I love watching videos that are like an essay for school. It gives everything such a good structure
danny you did an amazing job with interpreting this video! you can see how much work you put into the research and everything! i do not analyze videos myself bc i have tried before and it is really time-consuming and there was a lot to take in for this mv in particular. but your analysis made a lot of sense and so many more things are making sense after watching this explanation video. im not a christian nor have i read the bible so it's a bit hard for me to make any comments about that but again, great job!!!
Hi, I've just discovered your videos and I'm really thankful to you guys!! The you guys explain the videos is very clear and truthful ! Thank you so much, keep up the good work! Borahae 💜
wow danny im impressed ! thank you for your hardwork
YESSSSS FINALLY, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS
Very nicely done, Danny! I think we all can talk about this MV for a long time because it is so deeply layered. And then let's layer on each individual's interpretation which contains their own deep layering of life experience and "awakeness" or enlightenment or consciousness...whatever you want to call that state. That combination of specificity and ambiguity is really thrilling, actually.
aaaa my favorite explained series
Thanks for having a central theory to ground your video. Really feels like an academic paper lol
Thanks for your interpretations, and thanks for posting! Love it and Love you guys! Thanks again!
I always see your videos and go back to the song to appreciate it better. I am so glad I found this band and gladder that I found this channel. Also as the student of psychology I am loving series of album so much more
Very good Danny! You explained an extensive theory very concisely and very well. Thank you for the vid, and all your hard work!
It's all a matter of interpretation at the end of the day and we could all have different ideas but this video puts the majority into a great starter pack and even deeper in the song. Although I think analyzing the music video as well and further will give us greater knowledge and references, this was still a great explanation into the concept. Keep up the good work Danny, it's appreciated!💗
Thank you thank you thank you... I always love my therapy sessions with DKDKTV
Thanks for the video guys!!!!
Jaang! Great job Danny. Also thank you for your time & effort with this Explanation.
Appreciated this. It’s nice to hear logical explanations where someone figured out the right words
Thanks for this. I was too lazy to investigate all the theories, and you just resumed them for me in an orderly and structured way. 🤗🤗🤗
*HERES THE TEA SIS*
My mom’s thoughts on this as a Harvard graduate:On”reference the Bible alot. Taehyung represent Jesus on the cross as he is laying on the ground with his arms wide. He looks and the little girl and smiles because it will be ok. The animals and the boat represent the destruction of the world by flood (Noah and the ark). Durning the dance break it becomes very dark and there is fire that is coming down from above representing the earth being destroyed by fire. After the fire the door is opened to a world that is recreates as the plants grow from dead trees to green trees.
The gate open was like the gates of heaven aka the new perfect world.
The birds were used by Noah to see if the land was ready after the flood
The conch is a reference to Lord of the Flies and represents the leader aka the youth are incharge.
I agree on everything but your last line. It just doesn’t fit into the rest of the explanation. Thx for sharing! 💜
ON MV is a masterpiece, so this explanation :D
This is the best explanation I've seen. Although I think the song and video work on a number of different levels. I think the young girl with Tae represents ARMY (as well as his anima). And that BTS are trying to say that ARMY has helped them in this journey. And then at the end, you see Jungkook running up the rock - he looks as though he's ready to run through and past the others. It's also reminiscent of Tae's (and Jin's) dives into the sea. I think that symbolises that the process continues - there is still more to discover.
I was looking forward to ugh explained tho lol
They said it comes out on Friday
Worth my waittt
"It takes a fool to remain sane" is a song by swedish indie/glam/rock band The Ark and that song is about trying to stay "sane" in society :D
Oh my goodness I’ve been waiting on this video
I have been waiting for this....... :)
