blood, sweat, & tears mv members’ symbols observations
helloo i’m here to list from the mv what i examined were the tangible symbols connected to the members cuz i just realized theyre also in the bst mv so im just here to point them out LOL
in no way am i like theorizing as a whole. i’m just pointing out the obvious. and doing tiny detail theories here and there.
Blood, Sweat, & Tears MV
a LOT of this shit is iffy too like i don’t know some things i’m just flat out guessing.
INDIVIDUAL MEMBERS
all the members have a reoccurring theme/item that holds close to them the majority of the mvs.
Suga- fire: -the smoke in the room (1:30) -the lighting of the candle (1:37)
Namjoon- lollipops/cigarette: -smoking or smoke coming out of his mouth (3:48)
Jhope- pills: -actually i didn't observe any symbols for jhope here. maybe i missed it.
V- heights and jumping off ledges: -he is on the ledge of a balcony (0:59) - more balcony scene but jumps off (3:18)
Jungkook- ???, feathers: -i actually really don't know jungkook's tangible symbol. i understand he's lowkey tied to the bird from his solo film so cud be birds and flying on the swing? (1:11) or it's him stuck midst hit by car crash. - starting to think it's birds or feathers. it seems to be feathers at (3:35) just like the feathers in his fence area during young forever mv
Jin- flowers (and being alone): -he's at the head of the "religious feast"-like table (2:38) -flowers at (5:55) just like flowers in run and i need u
Jimin- apples and water: - he's holding an apple (?) i think at (3:16) -surprisingly not wet in this mv hm.
CONNECTIONS-
how it seems that members are paired throughout run, i need u, etc whilst jin is alone. (pairs are- suga & jungkook, namjoon & v, and jhope & jimin)
JHOPE & JIMIN: -jhope in the TUB (1:57) of water. shows the connection to jimin because jimin is always wet/underwater -jhope stroking the tub lowkey looks like a comforting gesture to jimin (2:26) - lowkey not being serious here but jhope rudely kicks jimin's water. also starting to want to call it jhope's holy water tub trying to purify jimin. (3:31)
NAMJOON & V: -V being under the sheets (2:03) shows a connection with namjoon in epilogue: young forever mv! when namjoon had his intro scene there, there were similar fabrics tied to his beginning fence area. -V is once again under sheets as he's being unveiled at (4:46)
SUGA & JUNGKOOK: - tbh i didn’t see any o.o might’ve missed it?
AND THEN JUST OVERALL HOW ALL THE MEMBERS' STORYLINES/BRIDGES CONNECT.
in the very beginning all the paired members as i stated above are mixed up. namjoon and jungkook, v and jhope, suga and jimin, BUT jin is once again alone looking at the painting.
JUNGKOOK & NAMJOON: - mentioned before how they paired in the beginning -jungkook has a lollipop (1:26) -the bird being burned (1:41) (which can also be tied to suga with the fire) -the green candle drip (2:08) onto jungkook. at this point i'm associating the green substance to namjoon bc of the drink. and jungkook eats it at (2:17) - another lollipop on jungkook at (3:00) the room at (3:01) is hard to tell but im thinking its namjoon and jungkook
SUGA & NAMJOON: -when suga's scene ends in the beginning by igniting a fire on the candle (1:37), it is next to namjoon's green drink.
V & JHOPE: - mentioned before how they paired in the beginning - jhope shoots an arrow and it "hits" V (2:46)
SUGA & JIMIN: - mentioned before how they paired in the beginning - together in suga's declared 'room' for the mv (3:14) - very beginning suga covers jimin's eyes and now at (3:16) suga is holding a blindfold. - then at (3:50) suga blindfolds jimin but i don't understand him being tied up coming from anywhere in the past.
INTERESTING OBSERVATIONS:
- at (4:40) v stays behind for jin. v is usually being highlighted in some way such as young forever mv he was the last one to find them AND he was a little behind the rest when they were walking through the airplane runway. i dont know the reason tho.
- can someone tell me what the wall says at (5:46)
CONCLUDE:
overall these observations don't mean a thing if i don't have a theory/reason behind it and theyre all the obvious observations but i mean maybe it'll help someone else idk //shrugs// im out. bts makes me tired with the theories and stuff but i can't stop LOL
