Bobby ‘Runaway’ - My theory about the M/V
This is a really deep and meaningful MV in my opinion because it represents all the struggle Bobby has been through.
Kim Jiwon, the little kid from Virginia that dreams to become a successful artist.
Bobby, his present self, mature and successful, but it may also represents the future self that he dreams to be.
His broken heart. He was really young when he left Virginia (his family, his old life, his old self) to pursue his dream and that really affected him.
His crushed hopes. The reality was more tough that he ever imagined and sometimes he maybe felt like giving up, drowning in his own loneliness.
Bobby feels lonely and broken, so the hospital can be the symbol of his feelings. He is by himself, crying and trying to escape.
The ideal version of him is guiding the child him to the success (driving is an action that shows control). He is determined to become the version of him that he wishes to (to pursue his dream), even though it’s hard to deal with the responsability of living on his own at a very young age, far away from his family (the sad Jiwon from the third picture).
His future self is looking back (the second picture) at the old self contemplating all his choices.
A symbol of life changes, crossing a path into new or strange territory of life and also dreams and hopes.
The link beetween the past and the present. Pooh was there for him when he was all alone with an uncertain future.
“We may be apart, but if we pray it’ll be just like being together. So I’ll pray hard, I want you to pray too” - Bobby’s mother, WIN: Who Is Next
That’s all I have for now :) I’m not really sure about the meaning of those sneakers... what do you guys think? Sorry for any grammar errors. I did my best!
Congratulations for your solo debut, Bobby! iKONICS are here for you!
