A bts_bighit fan explains the meanings behind 'Map Of The Soul:7' 💫
Here's everything BTS did last week: release their new album, Map Of The Soul: 7; have that album become the best-selling album of 2020 within an hour of its release; debut No. 1 on all real-time Korean music charts, an achievement known as a"Perfect All-Kill" in K-pop circles; and made the ARMY's emotions go haywire — all in a day's work.
BTS' leader, RM, put it concisely at the global press conference for the album's release: it's a look at the past and a welcome to the future."Looking back at the seven years, going back to the beginning, there were times we were completely clueless, times we made mistakes, and things I feel we did well on," he said."But going back, thinking of how each of the other six members were beside me, I think they did really well, and I think a lot about how fortunate I am.
BTS' art film for the track"Black Swan" opens with a similar-sentiment quote by Martha Graham:"A dancer dies twice — once when they stop dancing, and this first death is the more painful." It lays bare their fear of creative burnout, and it's eerily reminiscent of the pilot episode of Burn The Stage, where RM says:"Some days I don't want to work. People think I always work hard, but sometimes I just lie down and sleep.
For example, their music often references elements from a past era. Titularly,"ON" directly mirrors the group's 2013 song"N.O," and the song's music video sees the band decked out in black-and-white, as they were in"N.O." Their dance formations recall those in 2016's"Not Today," while lyrically, member Jungkook references their most famous track,"Blood, Sweat, and Tears," on the bridge, singing:"My everything… my blood and tears.
