I have two moods, I call them Suga and J-hope.

“Let’s go not so fast, let’s go all together” maybe i cried

bruh, you need a psychology degree to stay in this fandom.

This is what Namjoon said at the UN

I'm just happy that I was born in this generation and witness BTS music

So basically, bts told us no matter what u do in life, just trust/love yourself and your choices because this is your life and nobody else’s, wow. They’re like the best motivator in my life. Also, thank you for making these explained videos, it really helped me understand the music/music video and it also gave more depth to it.💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

There is absolutely no way I would’ve known any of this stuff by just watching the mv omg

Me: listening to bts songs and all the theories Mom: what u doin? Me: maa, I'm studyn psychology!

As someone who is a graduate student in Human Development and Family Studies, your analysis seems pretty accurate to me. Granted, I have limited knowledge on Jungian theory because psychoanalytic theories are not heavily focused on in my department. BUT Freud and Jung have a huge influence in the art therapy field (which is my bachelors degree) so I totally understand and love BTS's MV's on the psychology and artistic level!

lys: her is persona lys: tear is shadow lys: answer is ego

I'm a (marriage) therapist. Ego is the important final step because it's the step you need to take before the "self". Jung theorizes that a person needs to be in their Ego majority of their adult life. It helps if you think of Ego as interchangeable as you find want you like and dont like which can change as you grow. You can only reach your "Self" (or self actualization if you like Maslow) when you have formed a healthy Ego. Now the Ego can be unhealthy if you develop unhealthy defenses and habits as well, in which case you will not be able to reach your Self. In a way, you can think of Ego as the Journey and the Self as the destination. Jung believed in a healthy journey for the majority of your life before the destination. Usually, when one talks about Jung, you have to talk about Freud bc Jung was his student. Jung didn't agree with most of Freud's theories, so most of Jung's theories are in counter of Freud. I hope this helps!

I love how I can watch hours of people explaining BTS music videos, story lines, and learning korean so I can watch bangtan bombs but yet- I can't read 5 minutes of my science textbook before I end up back on youtube again.

Don't you just love learning about this stuff because of BTS and dkdktv like you more interested to this then learning in actual school like what!!

Tbh, if he is driving away from them, I think the signs could mean that J-hope knows his own way and doesn't need the signs to tell him the way because he trusts himself (and that wherever he goes and whatever choices he makes, its his own way) I could be completely off tho...😅

In Halsey's song 'Suga's Interlude' Suga had a line there which says," Whatever the path I take is the path I choose" I think this song is also linked in the album

the connection you made to Answer: Love Myself is so interesting... you're right, the ideas are very similar. Its cool to see the same message within the different contexts of the LY series and MOTS, serving two different purposes/meanings

Have you known in the history of music there being a group that has their fans analyzing every song they sing? BTS has accomplished this. We are actually thinking about self, and things around us. Thanks, David for the analysis .🙏

Y’all over here dissecting all these wonderful theories and I’m just over here like “oh Hobi looks real cute in this MV” I’m big dumb

what... you're telling me that the “numerous stars” that they mentioned in answer: love myself is actually.... us? CRIES

I’m telling you man I think that BTS has one of the best messages out there- Loving yourself the one thing you need the most to shape who you are and who you will become in the future

The Love Yourself trilogy was to make us love ourselves, and the Map of the Soul series is for BTS to discover who they are and thus accept and love themselves. That's it.

Just two snippets of linguistic detail you may want to know: EGO is simply the (Ancient) Greek word meaning "I, me". (εγω ειμι = I am) ID is the Latin word meaning "it, this, that". It is not an abbreviation or acronym. Oh, and the first GOD shown is the Old Norse Óðinn (Odin, Wotan). His role is complex, but among other things, he is the god of poetry, magic and religious ecstasy. Not only did he give us the runic alphabet, but he also stole the mead of poetry from the giants, and brought it into the world of gods and humans. His two ravens are Huginn (Mind) and Muninn (Memory). All poetry is his domain, so he would definitely be the rappers' divinity, if anyone is! Old Norse poetry was not composed on paper, but was passed on orally, and meant to be proclaimed by the bards. There may have been a musical factor involved, but we actually know next to nothing about this ... ###

When I saw the tailor shop, the first thing I thought of was Kingsman. Didn't realize it was actually connected. Nice.

Has nobody noticed when J-hope walked/danced next to the wall with paintings that there were a lightened room in that building? It could be Yoongi in I Need U in his burning room

EGO: It refers to the psychic instance that encompasses a set of ideas, feelings and perceptions of a conscious type and with which we identify. Jung pointed out that knowledge of the ego-personality is often confused with self-understanding. Anyone who has any ego-consciousness at all takes it for granted that he knows himself. But the ego knows only its own contents, not the unconscious and its contents. People measure their self-knowledge by what the average person in their social environment knows of himself, but not by the real psychic facts which are for the most part hidden from them. EGO: Se refiere a la instancia psíquica que abarca un conjunto de ideas, sentimientos y percepciones de un tipo consciente y con el que nos identificamos. Jung señaló que el conocimiento de la personalidad del ego a menudo se confunde con la autocomprensión. Cualquiera que tenga alguna conciencia del ego da por sentado que se conoce a sí mismo. Pero el ego solo conoce sus propios contenidos, no el inconsciente y sus contenidos. Las personas miden su autoconocimiento por lo que la persona promedio en su entorno social sabe de sí mismo, pero no por los hechos psíquicos reales que están en su mayor parte ocultos para ellos.

Now everything makes sense. Intro: Shadow Your Shadow it's a part of you, and you can't deny it Black Swan: You have to face and embrace your Shadow in order to love yourself Outro:Ego Once you become aware of all the parts of your soul, you can face every challenge and make everything your way Thank you so much DKDKTV for your thoughtful videos, love you guys!!

As a psychology major, I can tell this explanation is really good, and they pointed out some things which I missed. Very good work👍👍👍

What if JHope was doing the Ego part, because Yoongi did the Shadow, and RM the Persona ? Ego was the only one missing, and all this song's help you to be yourself. It could also represents the demons of the 3 boys. RM always had trouble to accept and love himself. Yoongi go through depression, and social anxiety, he always fight is shadows. JHope is someone who loves himself, enjoy is life as an idol, and live is dream, and can't stop thinking "what if" I've understood the song this way, with the two others songs

Thank you for the explanation, not only this one but for all your hard work (both you and Danny)! BTS have been helping me get to know myself and your explaining is a part of that help. God blees you guys and 'you nice, keep going" ♥

This song is how Jhope learned "I don't care"

Bts made me curious about psychology, but you guys have convinced me to buy the book haha. Excelent job

BTS made music fun again, at least in my opinion. I love some western artists but I've never waited so long for their songs and etc. Also the way the boys connect with fans and how genuine they are is something completely different. They’re very humble event being crazy famous, they don’t act like celebrities and this is so rare to see nowadays

I love how all of jhope's songs sound so bright and cheery while in reality carry very profound meanings. Mama's still the best one though, the cheery song got me crying everytime

I’m literally crying, Jhope is so amazing 🥺❤️

Gender identity thing is so true tho, i really haven’t thought my desire to read Jung and Freud like 2 years ago would help me with BTS

It will never cease to amaze me that BTS are basically a prog rock band stunting as a boy group.

The message i got from the song is for us to be happy we have to accepted who we are first to now because that’s who we are and we should be proud of ourselves including the sides we ignore because that’s a part of us.

6:39 "oh and don't miss the chickens from CNS" i don't know why that was funny to me ajdhkaf

Jhope was the perfect choice for Explaining the 'Ego' in the Mots7 as Jhope is the most funny, shiny personality when inside this a person has suffered a lot of pain that's why Jhope was Perfect In compensating Ego.

I’m really curious to know who makes these ideas for their MV (he must be really smart 🙌🏼)... I know that Bts writes and produces their music but I know that they don’t really stay behind the ideas for their MV

Wow! David...your brain... *It amazes me* This reminds me of Shooky's grandpa "life is a series of making choices, have faith in your choices, always"

Ppl who don't know what bts has been up to these last few years and are just seeing this mv or hearing the song must be like 'sick melody, but what the heck is up with all this ego stuff??' :") (personally, I srsly love this song and can't stop listening to it)

This song is deeper than I let’s on. It looks so cute and fun, but it’s also very meaningful

Great work as always. It's so interesting to see the similarities and the differences between the explanation/theory videos on the BTS songs

Thank you so much for this, David. I really appreciate all of your hard work to better educate us!

6:22 i personally think that this part indicated how hobi used to question parts of himself , like a persona for armys , a shadow for himself etc as the lyrics in the part says “Oppressions all resolved (for the 7 years of hardwork part like he became successful so now his oppressions are all resolved) Into my heart come answers from my most trusted (this comes right before the one soul part)” i think this means that people who are really close to him or fans , they told him or made him realise that he need not question himself , that his soul , his smile , his hope , they’re all part of himself , that he’s a combination of everything and that’s okay

Among the "Korean" things that I have been led to beginning with bingewatching on Kdrama to following BTS, listening to this "explain" channel is my favorite. Keep it up guys.

thank you for always putting so much effort in all your videos. thank you for educating us and dissecting bts' songs :'''')

Very impressive explanation of EGO! I had some psychology in college which I found interesting but it takes in depth studies to really get a grasp of this science. I am surprised and amazed by BTS members coming up with theories of this magnitude. I am also pretty amazed by you seeing this so easily. I totally agree with your assessment and explanation. This just makes me admire BTS more again and again. I just can't grasp how these young men that work and practice around the clock have time to have such knowledge even with a genius among them. Surely RM isn't the only genius? It seems like several of them are if not all 7.

So basically from LOVING MYSELF to TRUSTING MYSELF....💜

Suga :shadow Jhope:ego RM:persona

I am learning so much from a pop band. Seriously can't believe it. I am glad I became an ARMY this year. Better late than never.

5:55 the sign changes from Hope Records to Hopes Record, but if you look closely it changes back

10:37 A wild jordan peterson appears

I'm always waiting for your BTS mv explanation since I watched your explanation on their Ddaeng song..You are amazing..Thank you so much..

I remember learning about the psyche in my mythology class in college (we were learning about the "hero" or "villain" pysche and how they're shadows of each other) and that chart just brings flashbacks 🤣

You helped us understand the cultural perspectives and what the Korean words meant. That was important to understand the video.

Thank you very much! I am always waiting for this!! 💕

Once again, top quality content! Thank you 💜💜💜

This is brilliant. I’ve been fascinated by Carl Jung’s theory and concepts for awhile and BTS presented really well. It’s much deeper than the way you presented but BTS pretty much outlined the whole concept. Props to showing the clip of Dr. Jordan B. Peterson. I love the man and he truly changed my life. Please, if you want to know more about Jungian concepts, watch his lectures. He’s an expert on it and a brilliant man. Jordan Peterson really is an eye opening person with all his lectures on life, philosophy and psychology on his KZfaq channel. I was astonished and couldn’t stop laughing with joy with that clip of Peterson. So thank you for that and this video explaining it. Following BTS since 2015 on this journey was and is amazing. Looking forward to the future~ 💜

I was waiting for this 💜 Thanks 🤜🤛

What a fantastic analysis! Great job, thank you! 💝

Ok. I teared up a little bit. I love how BTS makes their songs so meaningful

Perfect vid and explanation, as always. I always eagerly wait for these to come out hehe

I really needed this thank you :)))

I don't think the "closet" Theory is right, I thought they only wanted to do the kingsman scene. And hoseok going through the door confidently means he accepted his choices fully and is confident.

I’ve been waiting for this since the mv came out

This is what I really needed! Thanks for the perspective!

Thank you David! ❤️

This just became my favourite breakdown. So well thought out and explained with an uplifting message at the end. Thank you!!

I love this video thank you so much. I learned new things and i love how you concluded at the end. It gave me hope 💜💜

Why am i seeing this just now? Thaaaank you so much for making this video 🙏💕

I loved this explanation, Thank you David!

Thank you so much, David! I love this series. I find it very educational. 😊

This was so wlel done! I'm so happy you dod this for us David. I hope yoy get the sleep u deserve! I was really waiting for a 'Explain vid' while looping the mv, trying to understand it all myself! Lol

Awesome job David. Thanks for this!

This explains a lot thank you DKDKTV this helped me a lot I've been waiting for this!!!

I love how you explain everything and understand the point of view from BTS but also yours too.

Thank you for this breakdown! I’m learning so much, it make me happy 😁

Wow! What an amazing explanation! Thank you for taking the time to analyse and share this with us!

David, you did it again! This was awesome! I really love your explain series!

Why am I legit crying. This I's my upbeat song every morning now I see way more into it!! Thank you

Great job David! The explain videos on this channel are always a delight!

I just discovered your channel! And I love it!

Thank you for your hard work. I always wait for your explanation. Really thanks!!

Really good video as always thank you!

Thanks for all of these BTS explained videos!! I'm absolutely in love with them! On my own I would have missed out on almost all of these.

David, I love your explanation series it always gives me an insight that I didn't see and makes me look at the video in a new light. Thanks! 💜

I can see that you really enjoyed explaining this. I enjoyed the explanation. Thank youuu!

Thank you for your hard work. I really do appreciate this so much. 💜💜💜💜

Respect for such a great analysis! :)

Aahhh thank you for putting so much thought into your videos 😭♥️

David, thank you for this explanation! It helps me a lot to better understand the hidden ideas in the MV.

this is exactly why i love bts, they don’t just throw random words together and call it a song they really think deep about lyrics and how it affects them and armys. 💜

Damn, I love your explanation videos so much. Thank you 💜

Thank you for explaining this. It makes a lot of sense now 🙏🏼

thank you so much!! this really helped me understand

Great video as usual! Thank you for this great content 😊😊

You guys are the best in explaining: very informative and well delivered. Most importantly it’s very professionally portrayed which can go far in these days of KZfaq since many comes off so amateurishly, really appreciate your polished content.

Awesome job David! Love the fact that each member got to talk about their own journey in the songs. Seems like Bang PD gave them the topic and study materials then they go write their songs. BTS is a school for life journey.
