I told you a few times that I can't wait to analyse Spring Day
So here I am, recording this video! And it wasn't that easy
It was the opposite - very difficult
Because this MV was based on many texts and movies and everything
Frankly speaking, I'm thinking about recording another part of Spring Day analysis
Not based on obvious things,
but based on books that, in my opinion, CAN be related to Spring Day
Things I noticed and other books connected with Spring Day
If you are interested in such video, let me know in the comments and I hope that you will like this part as well!
In this part, I'm gonna talk about obvious things like Ursula Le Guin's story, The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas
You perfectly know that it's directly related to Spring Day
I'm also gonna talk about the choreography because it seems very meaningful
Also the movie No Vacancy
And of course I'm gonna talk about the Sewol ferry disaster
There are many, many theories. I hope you like it so... Here we go!
Spring Day is a really difficult MV to analyse
But it's also beautiful, artistic and has many hidden symbols
I know perfectly that there are as many theories as people
But I wanna focus on what we know
BTS in their videos and lyrics want to tell us about the passing youth
It's just a metaphore quite often
For example, Suga in 'FIRE' MV, jumping over the fence with YOUTH written on it
In the Japanese videos, we often see 'YOUTH IS NOT COMING BACK' written in many places
I want to focus on this type of interpretation, on this passing youth
I will share my point of view with you
I will tell you what I noticed and also give you some facts
What we see quite often in this MV, is the huge 'OMELAS' writing
It's from Ursula Le Guin's story
The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas
The story is really short, it has 6 pages so if you wanna look at Spring Day MV from this point of view, you definitely should read it
At first, I should tell you what Omelas really is
Omelas is a perfect place, an utopia
Everyone is happy, there is no discrimination, no social hierarchy
Everyone is happy, loving and loved
But there is a high price for this happiness
One child has to be locked in pain, dirt, suffering, with mental illness
People who live in Omelas get to know about this child when they're old enough
Usually between 8-12 years old
And what happens next... Of course, I have a perfect quote for you!
No matter how well the matter has been explained to them, these young spectators are always shocked and sickened at the sight.
They feel disgust, which they had thought themselves superior to
They feel anger, outrage, impotence, despite all the explanations.
They would like to do something for the child. But there is nothing they can do.
If the child were brought up into the sunlight out of that vile place,
if it were cleaned and fed and comforted,
but if it were done, in that day and hour all the prosperity and beauty and delight of Omelas would wither and be destroyed.
To exchange all the goodness and grace of every life in Omelas for that single, small improvement:
to throw away the happiness of thousands for the chance of the happiness of one:
that would be to let guilt within the walls indeed.
Sometimes those who know the truth never come back
They leave Omelas, they walk ahead into the darkness, and they do not come back.
The place they go towards is a place even less imaginable to most of us than the city of happiness.
I cannot describe it at all.
It is possible that it does not exist.
But they seem to know where they are going, the ones who walk away from Omelas.
If you watched the previous BTS THEORIES videos, especially since 'Blood Sweat & Tears'
then you know perfectly that I'm Hermann Hesse's Demian's maniac and that I love quotes!
In this case, I found many connections between Omelas and Demian
It's really incredible and I'm gonna tell you about it
Especially this particular quote
Walking away from Omelas makes me think about Sinclair from 'Demian'
He also, after getting to know the truth and the 'other' world, had gone away
If you want some quotes, I already gave all the possible quotes from 'Demian' in the previous videos,
And in this part, I will give you quotes from 'Omelas'!
There was no 'sin' in 'Demian', it didn't exist,
There was no good things and forbidden things
We have to know what's good and what's bad
Sometimes the 'bad' actions are right so we have to decide what we can and what we cannot do
Here, in Ursula Le Guin's story, there is also no 'SIN'
It's almost the same thing as in Demian
Again, I recommend you watching the previous vids for 'Demian' quotes
And now I'm gonna give you a few quotes from 'Omelas'
Only pain is intellectual, only evil interesting.
This is the treason of the artist: a refusal to admit the banality of evil and the terrible boredom of pain.
If you can't lick 'em, join 'em. If it hurts, repeat it.
Happiness is based on a just discrimination of what is necessary, what is neither necessary nor destructive, and what is destructive
One thing I know there is none of in Omelas is guilt
The quotes I just gave you is exactly the same thing I learned in Hermann Hesse's book
And it's absolutely amazing
We see that BTS sticks to one concept
One and only concept, they have a message
And they want to share it with us
Walking away from Omelas is related to not being able to accept this utopia and ideal world
There is no life without getting to know every single aspect of it, including a sin
This can be found in '1984' by George Orwell
The quotes from this book appeared in a BTS Begins video
And I talked about it when I was analysing Awake
So if you have no idea what quotes I'm talking about, check the video with 'Awake' analysis
But we can see that all those videos are perfectly related to each other and connected
But what does it have to do with 'Spring Day'?
Now I'm gonna tell you about it because there will be a lot
Spring Day has many threads, the main one is passing youth
the other one is 'You Never Walk Alone' which is also the tittle of this album
So we are never alone
Even if we grow up, we still have friends
Friendship is really binding
and BTS shows it very often, not only in the MVs but also in real life
The MV starts from V at the train station and we see a Korean writing 'IRYEONG'
in both ways - in hangul and also romanized
And, in spite of appearances, there is nothing strange about it
Because if you Google Iryeong, of course in hangul, all you find is a trains timetable from the Iryeong station
So even if we want to make something up here... We just can't
What's really important here is winter since the title is 'Spring Day'... So why?
Besides winter, the train also is really important
You can see it not only when V waits for it
but it's really meaningful throughout the MV
There is a reason for Rap Monster to change the carriages all the time
And his part of the song already gives us a huge hint
It's all winter here even in August
My heart is running on the time
alone on a Snowpiercer
A never-ending winter and Snowpiercer... What is Snowpiercer? I explain!
'Snowpiercer' is an English-French-South-Korean movie
directed by Bong Joon-ho
The story is about the collapse of the civilization and the end of human population
and also a sudden ice age created unintentionally in order to stop global warming
Snowpiercer was a globe-spanning train powered by a perpetual motion
with people who were able to survive
It travelled a circumnavigational track with an unknown destination
The society in Snowpiercer was seperated into 3 classes
The elite was living at the beginning of the train, in the first carrieges,
Workers who kept the engine working were living in the middle part of the train
and the last carriages were for poor people who were the last to get on the train
Of course, the social classes and power can be related to what I've already said a few times in the previous videos and what could be found in 'Demian'
We have to live according to someone else's expectations and accept the power
Maybe BTS wants to tell us that after you walk into the adulthood, the problems begin and you have to live up to someone else's expectations
We can also think about the fact that the train's destination is unknown
and it's the same with our own lives - we cannot know what will happen next and what the future brings
Also the one and only truck seems really important
It can symbolize the fact that we have a certain path in our lives but we can deflect from it and do something to change our future
But back to Rap Monster - walking along the train and changing the carriages all the time is directly related to the 'Snowpiercer' movie
Poor people were used by the rich ones and in order to rebel, they decided to capture the train, carriage after carriage
Maybe Rap Mon's wandering along the train symbolizes some kind of rebellion
and this rebellion is related to Omelas
The train trip will be 'walking away from Omelas'
and walking away from Omelas is connected with growing up
Rap Monster walking into another carriage and he sees a really carefree scene with the rest of BTS - there is joy, fun and happiness
The room seems a bit like a motel room
and I have to mention here that in this MV, Omelas is a motel
So if the scene takes place in a motel room, it means that it happened in Omelas
it happened when they were young so these are Rap Monster's memories
We see a scene on the stairs in sepia
It looks a bit like memories, like something that passed
Jin is downstairs and he makes a camera frame with his fingers
he creates new memories and BTS is going upstairs - it look like they're walking away from him
He is the oldest one, he grew up first and it was the reason for drifting apart
We see the Omelas motel and there is Suga and J-Hope right in front of it
and Rap Monster joins them
Jin, as the oldest one, left Omelas already
J-Hope and Suga were the next ones to leave Omelas
Rap Monster is a bit younger than them so he will be the next one to leave Omelas
Even though the four of them left Omelas, we still have 3 members left - Jimin, V and Jungkook
We see Jungkook alone in the train
The truth is - he is the youngest one and we can see it clearly in Spring Day
The carousel is the best example
Jungkook stands in the middle and doesn't move and the rest of BTS move really fast next to him, like they're walking away, drifting away
but he finally joins them
We can see 'You never walk alone' written on the carousel
It gives us again the thought that even if we grow up, we are never alone
we have our friends and we always will
Coming back again to the motel Omelas
We have a neon 'NO VACANCY' in front of it
Many people noticed that it's related to the movie 'No Vacancy'
Especially because the movie is about 7 friends
they go for a trip and stay in a motel
So it does make sense
I watched this movie, I already told you about it... But I watched only half of it
I still can't force myself to watch it because it was just... Disgusting
I didn't notice anything related to BTS in this movie
just the fact that there were 7 friends and they stayed in a motel
If there is anyone who watched it till the end, please tell me in the comments if there is anything else related to BTS
The important thing is just the title - no vacancy
and it makes sense because it's a motel
I was thinking about the connection between this movie and BTS theories and Spring Day MV
and I couldn't find any solution
and suddenly, in the middle of the night, I came up with the brilliant idea
In my opinion, the movie has nothing to do with the BTS Theory
It's only about the fact that there are no empty rooms in Omelas, no vacancy
BTS grew up and they walked away from Omelas
They possibly sinned, got to know the truth and the 'other' world
They can't go back, there is no place for them in Omelas
There is a scene in a laundry room and the laundry can symbolize a new beginning
Leaving the dirt behind us and a new, clean beginning
What's really interesting, we see mountains there and in Ursula Le Guin's story...
Far off to the north and west the mountains stood up half encircling Omelas on her bay.
So, in my opinion, it's directly related to the story
We have, as always, two ways of interpretation the fact that we see Jin against the background of mountains
First of all, Omelas was surrounded by mountains. It wasn't Omelas but what was AROUND Omelas
Jin was the first one to walk away from Omelas - so he just left
Second of all - this idea hit me like a wrecking ball
Those mountains symbolize Omelas
Jin always seemed different, he was aloof
so maybe he chose the ideal world and he stayed in Omelas
And the proof for that would be the scenes from Blood Sweat & Tears and Awake
he threw away the apple - the symbol of sin
The mountain of laundry scene is very controversial
and many people believe in the theory that it's related to the Sewol ferry disaster
Houndreds of Korean students died and the crew survived
In this theory, the laundry symbolize those students
It makes sense especially when we see it against the background of clouds and it looks like water or the sea
And it makes sense if we relate it to the Snowpiercer movie where the elite had power
The ferry crew told the students to stay in their places and that's why they died
However, Rap Monster never said that this theory was real - he only said that there are many interpretations and it depends on us how we analyse it
I suggest you to read the lyrics
Is it you who changed or is it me?
I hate this moment, this time flowing
But we changed, you know? Just like everyone
As you can see, those lyrics tell us that as time goes by, people change. Sometimes they change so much they cannot recognise themselves
