Yesss post it!! o.o

Alrighty 👀

So this particular theory is not related to the story itself per say. But it’s still about this entire thing. I personally call it, the “HYYH Effect”. 

This is something we all have established by now. 

It IS Boy meets What. 

But, there’s a certain mix up of orders. 

Boy meets W H A T

But according to Outro : Her, 

It's 

“All of my Wonder

You’re the answer

I call you Her, Her

‘Cause you’re my tear" 

Now it becomes W A H T

To add to all of that, LY : Her released first and now it’s Wonder. 

So it has become H W -  - 

Now’s the part I would like to add. 

Everyone saw Boy Meets What. 

Her : Serendipity 

Wonder : Euphoria

Answer : Epiphany 

Tear : Singularity 

Please looks at the initials of the Intros. 

Serendipity Euphoria Epiphany Singularity. 

S E E S. 

Sees. 

Now here’s my question. 

BOY SEES WHAT?

BTS BUTTERFLY EFFECT THEORY

Okay so couple weeks ago I watched the movie butterfly effect and with the last highlight reel I’m basically sure about this theory.

So, for the ones who have not seen the movie it goes like this (I strongly recommend you watch the movie though);

A boy named Evan, goes through hard times during his childhood and his teenage years. But he cannot remember these key moments in his life he blacks out and wakes up after everything is done. He starts writing down everything in his journals so he can keep track of everything.

Later in his life he realizes that he has the power to go back in time and undone his and his friends’ mistakes. He does this by looking through his journals and recalling the memories he must go back to. He goes back dozens of times but every time he undoes something, another one goes wrong. In a surprising turn, he finds out his dad had the same abilities and his dad did the same in his lifetime by looking at the PHOTOS he took. YES photos. Does it sound familiar? Because it should. Who do we see always taking vids and pics throughout the whole HYYH + WINGS eras?

Jin is Evan in their story, trying to save the boys over and over again, trying to make everything right. See also, how exhausted Jin looks in the end of the most recent highlight reel. He’s been trying to save these boys for so long.

‘Coincidentally’ one of the times Evan uses this ability in the movie is when the girl he loves commits suicide and he goes back to save her. Which we see Jin do in Highlight Reel 3. Whenever Evan goes back in time and changes something their lives change, things disappear, the way their lives go change, but there are always reoccurring scenes. Throughout HYYH and Wings there are scenes we see too often but always in different settings. Almost like these things happen but in parallel universes. The parallel universes that Jin creates every time he goes back in time to save the boys. Few of them are;

Taehyung with wall painting and graffiti

Taehyung getting arrested

Yoongi with his fire obsession and his piano

Jimin with water

Hoseok with pills

Jimin / Hoseok in hospitals

Jimin drowning / in or around bathtubs

Namjoon with a lollipop

Namjoon with phone boxes

And of course, the obvious; couples

The never-ending connections between Jungkook/Yoongi, Jimin/Hoseok and Namjoon/Taehyung which not so surprisingly leaves out Jin, because he’s the one trying to save them.

In MVs there are a lot of scenes implying the butterfly effect itself for instance

In highlight reel Jin said: “Yesterdays many encounters and goodbyes existed for this moment. Every alley and crossroad I walked through were all meant to lead me to this place.” Saying that every little thing done in the past led him to the place he is now, which is basically the definition of butterfly effect.

Or for instance in I Need U Japanese Version MV when Jungkook burns the flower in his hand, the camera instantly cuts to the photo of the same flower behind Yoongi starting burn as well, meaning Jungkook’s actions affect Yoongi’s life.

There are a lot of butterfly imagery in the MVs as well. Not even mentioning there’s a song called Butterfly and one of the album’s name is WINGS.

So, let’s talk about hyyh1 and hyyh2. My theory is that HYYH2 could be a different reliving of HYYH1 where Jin had to go back in time because well, our boys fucked up. With Taehyung killing his father/ brother, Hoseok swallowing those pills, Jungkook getting in a car crash, Yoongi burning himself in his hotel room and Jimin drowning himself. HYYH2 with Run MV is Jin’s another attempt so save these 6 boys. Also at the end of BS&T Japanese Version we see Jin going to the place Namjoon works and saying, “Long time, no see” where Namjoon is startled to see Jin. This could also contribute to the theory that after everything went downhills in BS&T jap verse, Jin fighting with Taehyung included, Jin had to try again.

I believe their hairstyles and colors as well as their clothing style changes between I Need U and Run eras to imply a different universe, but we can never be sure.

I want to note that in Run MV where the boys are vandalizing the cars in the tunnel Jin is the only one sitting in the car not doing anything and when they start to run he’s the one who gets them out of trouble, he’s the one who’s waiting to save them. 

If we tie things with the Korean version BS&T MV it explains the duality of the universes. Jin sees another dimension through the mirror in the end of BS&T which could be tied to HYYH era as every time Jin tries to save the boys he creates another universe. BS&T also shows the evil temptations the boys are facing and Jin once again sacrificing himself and saving the boys.

Also coming to the Highlight Reels, to me, as the whole story is still connected to the book Demian by Hermann Hesse, the girls represent their Beatrices. In the book, Sinclair thought he had fallen for a girl he saw in a park and named Beatrice. He thought about her as the days went on and finally decided to paint a picture of her. As he painted he realized what he was drawing resembled no longer a girl but the face of a young man. He finished the painting only to realize he had drawn Demian. Because Demian was the one he was longing for. The pairings Jimin/Jhope, Jungkook/Yoongi and Taehyung/Namjoon are Sinclair and Demian to each other.

the demian connections were also said by @/angelakiss_tale on twitter so kudos to them for making me realize.

I’ll add things as I connect the dots, I’ve still yet to understand all the individual stories told in Highlight Reels. Especially Jihope+the girl story dumbfounded me.

IT’S A SECLUDED TOWN 

WHERE RULES ARE DIFFERENT AND THERE IS A SECRET

A CHILD HIDDEN AWAY THAT HOLDS ALL THE PAIN OF THE VILLAGE SO THAT EVERYONE ELSE CAN BE HAPPY

EVERY YEAR SOME PEOPLE FROM THE TOWN GO TO THE CHILD TO SAY THANK YOU BUT OFTEN THEY DON’T

THEY LEAVE THE CHILD ALONE TO SUFFER IN PAIN BECAUSE THEY CAN’T BARE TO SEE WHAT THEY HAVE TO PUT SOMEONE THROUGH IN ORDER TO BE HAPPY 

IT’S CALLED THE ONES WHO WALK AWAY FROM OMELAS 

IT HAS TO DO WITH THE REALMS OF UTOPIA AND DYSTOPIA

Euphoria: Theme of Love Yourself Analysis/Theories.

DISCLAIMER: I just want to preface this post by saying, anything talked about here is strictly theory. Theory/theories about the storyline(s) throughout the MVs that BTS have made. These theories are a mixture of ones I’ve seen online as well as ones my mom (A fellow ARMY) and myself have come up with. I am not trying to copy or steal anything, just getting ideas/ thoughts out there. :)

We see see Taehyung jump in the water (From the Butterfly Mv)

We see clips of everyone being suicidal,

When Seokjin is in the black room with the window, it reminded me a lot of Jungkook in the Begin MV. Dark room, nothing but a bed and a window. Then he goes over to the window and yanks the curtain or the veil. We see him watching all the guys relationships falling apart. But can’t do anything, because he’s merely observing them through the window. (A window to a parallel universe?) Maybe it’s not Tae’s bloody hands like I had first thought, maybe it’s Jin’s maybe he feels like because he left them, their problems are his fault. Or maybe he feels guilty because of what happens to Jk in the LY highlights.

We see a scene of Jimin and Hoseok in the hospital together.

Jimin looking after Hoseok as he turns to walk away, Jimin looks like he wants to cry or like he wants to say, “Where are you going? Don’t leave me.”

Jin and Namjoon at the gas station Rm’s always shown at, Jin picks up the money Namjoon threw down, maybe trying to help or reconnect with him?

(Clair de Lune playing in the background of that scene with Jin and throughout the first half of the MV The piece is all about the moon. It’s name even translates to light of the moon or moonlight in French.)

( It also reminds me a lot one or more of BTS’s songs.)

It’s also based on a poem called Clair de Lune by Paul Verlaine.

Here’s an excerpt from it that caught my eye specifically : Your soul is a delicate landscape Where roam charming masks and bergamasques Playing the lute and dancing and seeming almost Sad under their whimsical disguises.

Whimsical disguises? Hiding your true self, being caught in your own Lie. Not facing yourself perhaps? (Could it somehow play into DNA and Serendipity?)

We see Jungkook dragging Yoongi out of his burning room (Which he set on fire in “I Need U” in what is thought to be a suicide attempt. )

They’re all running, in the hallway in the hospital, outside. It’s keeping in theme with

When Jimin’s running down the hall of the hospital, when he’s running towards the door, the light, the walls everything around him was yellow. In general the scenes with Jimin in the cafeteria like area, the room has this warm yellowish color to it.

We see all the pair off of the guys interacting both individually and all together. Most of them are light hearted and happy, unlike those in past MVs

The  two scenes where their in all white and in front of the sea, gave me a lot of You Never Walk Alone vibes.

White was also the color of the lily petals. Then we see Seokjin in the same place Taehyung was, at the top of the structure he had jumped off of in Butterfly.

It’s been theorized that Seokjin committed suicide, maybe he went back in time, broke the loop he was living in to trade places with Taehyung. Maybe as a way to ask for forgiveness or to make up for his mistakes.

(Which to aid the theory that Seojin is dead,  it’s a known fact that if there’s anything related to having no shoes, it’s indicative of that person’s dead. That was a big theory/ thing that happened with the Beatles. It would make sense though, because it seems like Jin’s always alone and never has shoes. Maybe it wasn’t a suicide, may he sacrificed himself or made a deal with a dark force in an attempt to help the guys stay together and continue to be happy and live on without him.)

Also it’s been pointed out that Jimin’s striped shirt is very similar to the one he wore in the Spring Day Mv. Which also at the end of that MV we see shoes hanging from a tree.

Shoes hanging from a tree branch has and is used to indicate that someone’s died, usually in cases of suicide

Hyung is this all? Or is there anything else you hide from us? (Translation of the phrase at the end of the MV.)

Then we see a clip of Jungkook getting ‘hit’ by a car. Which could mean… Jin never told them it was him that hit Jungkook.

HOW EUPHORIA AND THE 4TH HIGHLIGHT REEL ARE RELATED

Everything that happens in Euphoria is a continuation of the ending of Highlight Reel #4 (I’ll call it HR4).

At the end of the HR4, Jin is wondering

So he changes his clothes (which I’m assuming is a metaphor for entering an alternate universe) and goes off to find out the answer to his question.

The first shot we see of Jin in Euphoria is this

Here he’s wearing the same clothes that he was wearing at the end of HR4

Then after Jin arrives,things start getting a lot better. We see the same scenes that have happened in their lives before

Happening again, but in a ‘happier’ setting.

So it looks like while Jin can’t change the events that happened, he can change the circumstances, and make his friends happier while facing the same situations. Also,they’re all wearing white clothes.

White is a colour associated with light, goodness, innocence, purity, and virginity. This further emphasizes the fact that Jin was trying to erase everything bad that happened to them, and regain their innocence. But Jin knows he’ll have to pay a price for keeping this alternative universe alive, just like he says at the end of HR4

So he knows that at the cost of his friends ‘euphoria’ (i.e. their happiness), he will have to make a sacrifice, perhaps symbolized by the jump he’s about to take

But Jin knows what he has to do, and he happily accepts his fate.

Because maybe, making things better for his friends is Jin’s personal idea of euphoria.
