BTS is officially back with their sixth extended play, Map of the Soul: Persona and the music video for their new single, ‘Boy With Luv’ feat. Halsey released on April 12 at exactly 6PM KST.

Halsey with “the boys with love”, BTS!

Map of the Soul: Persona is a new album that follows Love Yourself: Tear and Love Yourself: Answer. This album which precedes the band’s Love Yourself: Speak Yourself world tour, is expected to reach new heights in sales and charts considering BTS being one of the most popular musical acts of today.

If you have already watched the music video, you would know that it is a highly artistic and genuinely bright work of art with profound messages to be learned.

The Boy With Luv is a smooth example of musical theatre. It starts with an appearance of the popular American singer and songwriter, Halsey, whose character seemed to have been waiting inside a ticket booth and then rushes to close it as soon as she realized that something is about to begin.

The next scene went on to show an outdoor building sign titled, “Persona”. The camera eventually reveals BTS members in their majestic pink and white clothing—ready to snatch our hearts all over again with their mighty fine existence.

Park Jimin opens the song with the sweet first lines saying, “I’m curious about everything. How’s your day? Oh, tell me.”

We love this Persona.

BTS has been teasing fans with their “curious about you” posts on social media and finally, we now know why. This song is like a poem from a boy who constantly wonders and cares even the small things about… you.

While it seems like a normal romantic song, we know it is much more than that; and the music video is here to take us into a whole new world with BTS!

Now, let’s talk about the keyword for this comeback. Persona.

Looking at the music video, it is clear that it holds BTS’s story from debut to now. They are looking back into their first take on love and expressing a redefinition through music.

We can see a display of growth as they sing and dance from a normal diner to a grand broadway stage. This is somehow similar to the character from a 1952 American musical-romantic comedy film, “Singing’ in the Rain” (poster is often seen in the MV), who came from being a nobody to somebody that is adored by many.

Espousing individuality is the peak of human development.

From country boys to global stars. It is a success story celebrated in a beautiful music video in which BTS reveals each of their “Persona” as musical performers.

They say the brain of a piano player is significantly different from other people.
Suga is a different kind of normal. A very admirable one.

Map of the Soul: Persona is the first album in BTS’ MAP OF THE SOUL series. It is based on the book on the theories Carl Gustav Jung created for psychology called, “Jung’s Map of the Soul” by Dr. Murray Stein; an author who was pleasantly surprised and impressed by RM’s speech at the United Nations (UN).

We are all here for it, RM.

In an interview during the ‘Speaking of Jung’ podcast, Dr. Murray Stein said that he saw RM as a boy with a sense of self. It was evident in the way he introduced himself during his first UN speech.

“An idol and an artist from a small town in Korea.”

In their album’s comeback trailer, RM’s Persona dropped a lot of hints as to what this era means to BTS. He is a boy who is still on a journey of identifying his core self and the different personas within himself, as well as respecting and acknowledging those sides of his character that made him who he is today—a person who is loved by many.

Someone who constantly tries to accept his own shadow, which is usually unwanted. Someone who tries to keep himself grounded every day and tells the world that self-love is daily work.

It was something that was very beautiful to hear from a young man.

RM did an incredible job with that comeback trailer. We are reminded that being always oneself is fundamental to be happy; that we all have to learn more and we never stop doing it!

“Who looks outside, dreams; Who looks inside, awakes.” -Carl Jung

With this album, BTS will resonate Jung‘s thoughts and ideas with their fans around the world. The songs in it will certainly contain hopeful messages that are highly valuable and needed for everyone to study and integrate into their daily lives, just like what Dr. Murray Stein said. Messages that can provide inner guidance and a calling to take responsibility for our own lives and everything around us.

 [Suga]
널 알게 된 이후 ya 내 삶은 온통 너 ya
사소한게 사소하지 않게 만 들어버린 너라는 별
하나부터 열까지 모든게 특별하지
너의 관심사 걸음걸이 말투와 사소한 작은 습관들 까지
[J-Hope, Jungkook]
다 말하지 너무 작던 내가 영웅이 된 거라고 (oh no)
난 말하지 운명 따윈 첨부터 내 게 아니었다고 (oh no)
세계의 평화 (no way)
거대한 질서 (no way)
그저 널 지킬 거야 난
(Boy with luv)
 [Suga]
Since I’ve known you ya, My life was all you ya
A star named “you” make the little things
not trivial
From one to ten, everything is special
Even your interests, gait, tone
and every little trivial habits of yours

 

[J-Hope, Jungkook]
Everyone says that I used to be so little
and now I became a hero (oh no)
I say, something like “fate”
doesn’t suit me from the beginning (oh no)
World peace (no way)
A great order (no way)
I’ll just keep you safe
(Boy with luv)
 [V, RM, Jin]

[RM]
툭 까놓고 말할게
나도 모르게 힘이 들어가기도 했어
높아버린 sky, 커져버린 hall
때론 도망치게 해달라며 기도했어
But 너의 상처는 나의 상처
깨달았을 때 나 다짐했던걸
니가 준 이카루스의 날개로
태양이 아닌 너에게로
Let me fly
[RM]
I’ll be honest with you
Sometimes I was a little arrogant
Elevated sky, expanded halls
Sometimes I prayed let me run away
But when I realised that your pain is my pain,
I vowed to myself
With the wings of Icarus you gave me
Not to the sun, but to you
Let me fly
[Halsey, Jungkook, V]
Oh my my my! Oh my my my
I’ve waited all my life
네 전부를 함께하고 싶어
Oh my my my! Oh my my my
Looking for something right
이제 조금은 나 알겠어
[Jimin, Jungkook]
I want something stronger
Than a moment, than a moment, love
Love is nothing stronger
Than a boy with luv ^^
[Halsey, Jungkook, V]
Oh my my my! Oh my my my
I’ve waited all my life
Wanna be with you for everything
Oh my my my! Oh my my my
Looking for something right
Now I understand a little bit
[Jimin, Jungkook]
I want something stronger
Than a moment, than a moment, love
Love is nothing stronger
Than a boy with luv ^^
