My dad is graduating his with PhD this graduation season and he sited this album in his document that’s how powerful this album was. A 45 year old, African Zulu man mentioned a K-pop band in his PhD. It wasn’t a deep dive but it helped him in his research.
Tell your dad congrats on the PHD.
Kiss your dad for me ❤
#Jimin said in one of their earlier concerts said that "In the beginning, I waa not impressive. I have become to what I am today because of the help of my members, these amazing people. BTS is amazing, is'nt it?"
When BTS were asked by Jimmy Fallon in their online inteerview during the pandemic what to him is secret of success, #Jin answered, "Choose to be with good (genuinely nice) people."
When asked why BTS are the best performer, #Suga said, "Because we (BTS) are good. BTS practice alot for ARMY to make them happy and proud [of themselves] for coming to see/watch BTS show].
JHope once said said that he is proud of his Team and thankful that no one in the team would complain at work.
#V also said that struggling (difficult situation) is not very hard when you are sorrounded with truly concerned people who is willing to walk with you at such time.
#Namjoon once said that "If I am the best leader for BTS, it is because the members make it easy for me become the best leader."
#JK once said, "You (BTS) all brought me up. I was only 15 when I joined BTS and you were all kind (considerate) to me. Thank you for taking good care of me."
#BTS are genuinely good people and have certainly evolved into amazing, caring, intelligent and intellectual people.
Thank you.
The shadow lyrics: "dont let me shine" says that embrace our shadow, but dont glorify it. The self control suggested here is savage ❤❤❤
This is so timely. I am the youngest of 4 & will be turning 58 soon. We were all talking last week & they wanted to know what I wanted to do for my 60th birthday in early 2026. I am figuring BTS will be doing their reunion tour by then & said I wanted to go to a concert. I'm pretty sure I could feel some eye rolling😁. Anyway, I mentioned I wouldn't waste this much time on a group unless they were worth it.
MofS:7 is what made me a full blown ARMY. I spent the early covid lockdowns reading the various MV comment sections & reactors' analyses. I was almost more blown away by the intellectual & respectful discussions happening than by the music itself! I knew I found my people🙂. All because of an extraordinarily talented group of young men over 1/2 my age from the other side of the world.
Thank you for making a video that I can share with them to explain what makes them so special to me 🙏💜... whether they will take the time to watch is another story...😄
... as far as The Rose... that was another covid lockdown discovery for me. They are another group that I really am growing to enjoy more & more. Haven't fallen down the rabbit hole yet, but have been circling it & peaking into it for a while😄!
I love this post. I am 71 and historically a progressive rock metal music person, so my friends and family are stupefied by my obsession with this group. I was amazed myself. LOL. But yes... it is the message and depth of their creations that keep me entranced.
Yes!! Same here. I fell in love with them after finding them on my PS4 VR Game Beat Saber during the shutdown. That's one of the things that makes me so angry about the covid hysteria is it took away there a map of the Soul 7 tour. It would have been explosive! It is my favorite album of theirs and I got every one of them during the lockdown. I watched every video I could of them. Thousands of hours and I still watch them everyday. I'm 59. In America. This album was brilliant. Me and both of my grandsons now are 100% Army. During the lockdown with all my albums that I got of them which is about 8 or 9 of them I took the picture books and made Christmas tree ornaments out of the pictures and I have a little tiny fake tree with colored lights on it and all their ornaments on it that I leave up all year long. I adore them. They kept/keep me sane in an insane world. The lyrics are excellent in touch everybody worldwide. Bless you sister. ❤💜 I also found The Rose last year and if you haven't checked them out they are amazing also.
Thanks for sharing your stories. I’m 67 and saw SUGA on Jimmy Fallon. My oldest granddaughter is ARMY and has been for a long time, so I worried when I found out their conscription. I fell hard after seeing JK and his Golden album releases. I have fallen down the bunny hole, lol more like dove head first, since then. I love hearing all of the reactions, analysis, and raves. We need more ppl like them.
I discover BTS just recently and more I listen to their music, the lyrics ,more I learn about their journey more I want to know about them. Only listen to their music now , and oh I love the Rose to. Also fabulous. And I am 70😉
@@ghyslainemichaud9978 🥀🖤 💜 I love The Rose and fell in love with them last year when I luckily got one of their videos in my feed. Wow. Woosung is amazing, he has many albums out by himself while his brothers were serving in the military. I love him by himself and also with the rose and I'm so glad to see them just getting bigger and bigger. I have their last two albums and Duel is my favorite. I wish I could get their older albums but I am in America and can't get them so I settle on my playlists of their older stuff. I will be adding their picture ornaments that I made off of their picture books from their albums to my BTS tree.💜🖤🥀 BTS & THE ROSE are the sons I never had😁❤ their stories and their Journeys so amazing and heartwarming it just warms my soul.
I really looked into BTS from Map of the Soul as I'm degree was in Psychology and I've learnt were my thoughts, emotion's, responses stem from. So when I found the Map of Soul Album it made me smile and realise just how much these 7 young men are willing to dive into their own lives, experiences and though processes and recognise where their actions and though's come from. Intrespection is key recognising behaviour patterns, and where they stem from and learning to accept we are all works in progress, learning along the way and learning to new ways of seeing things and living in harmony with ourselves accepting our selves.
I just subscribed to your channel because of this video. Excellent overview of Jung’s theory and how it is represented in the Map of the Soul 7 album. I have my Masters in Clinical Psychology, and this is spot on. When I was 12, I experienced very traumatic physical injuries due to being hit by a car. This led to 19 surgeries in 6 years (I have had a total of 37 now). According to Erik Erickson, a developmental psychologist, the period between ages 12 and 18 is when you form your self image. Mine was formed around being seen as a hero for bravely going through these surgeries with a good attitude. This became my persona.
As a 20 year old, I couldn’t hide my shadow self anymore which encompassed all my fears and sorrow that I had suppressed for 8 years. I was afraid to show people this negative side of myself, fearful that I would be rejected. I had Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome. I underwent intensive counseling and I was finally able to embrace my shadow, my sorrow, as a part of me thus gradually overcoming PTSD. The Persona and Shadow were merged with my Ego.
I only shared my experience because I feel it really demonstrates or illustrates the structures that Jung had outlined. Every person does go through this, and Erik Erickson described the 20’s as the trying 20’s. The beautiful and deep lyrics of BTS really helps young people, and older ones like me, understand and accept one’s true self. I think then it is a process of learning to be one’s authentic self with others. This becomes the beautiful journey of life. It’s not perfect, but embracing the imperfect leads to self acceptance.
Very insightful breakdown of this album. This makes me understand and appreciate BTS even more! Thank you for this!
I am reading the book by Murray Stein that has the podcasts in it and more. It breaks down each song and makes Jung more approachable to the average person. The name of the book is “Map of the Soul 7- Persona, Shadow, & Ego in the World of BTS”.
Apparently RM and Suga were seen with one of Stein’s more technical books regarding the teachings of Yung. A student told Stein about BTS and his book. The same student later told him about MOTS Persona and sounds like he jumped into the rabbit hole and was ready for MOTS 7.
So far it has given me even more respect for their music.
I would love for you to dive deeper in the Suga's "Shadow" -- truly epic and moving. Would love to hear your thoughts.
Jung is pronounced Yung.
Also there is a series of podcasts done by Laura London with Murray Stein. You can find them if you search 'Speaking of Jung'.
They discuss every song in detail and also talk about bts as a group. Murray stein provides a lot of insights about the concepts.
Murray Stein of course being the author of Jung's Map of the Soul. I mean hearing stuff about bts straight from the author of the book their album is based on is a huge deal.
Murray Stein also later wrote 3 short books analysing BTS'S music.
Thank you for this comment. I appreciate knowing about the podcast and the books.
For those wondering, I went to look them up, and the books are called:
Map of the Soul - Persona: Our Many Faces
Map of the Soul - Shadow: Our Hidden Self
Map of the Soul - Ego: I Am
Also, it appears that the episodes of the podcast where they discuss BTS are 42, 44, 53, 54, 55, 67, 77, Q18, 92, 97 and 111.
@@NanciBKThank you for finding this and posting it. I’ve already started listening
Thank you for the reference to the podcasts! I am listening to them now. It is so important to really understand what an incredible job BTS has done with MOTS, not just to understand the complexity of the subject matter as explained by Jung, but to apply it to their own situation, and then to do so with such authenticity, poetry and lyricism. I am beyond awed by the sheer depth and intelligence of these young men….
I found out about The Rose because of Suga
THIS is what sets BTS apart from other Kpop groups. Their song lyrics spark conversation on mental issues, human development, emotions, ambitions, social issues, dreams, struggles etc. that ordinary people can relate. Haters and kpopers couldn't comprehend that it isn't just about the ability to sing and dance (like what SM stans are proud about their faves although I think no kpop group had surpass or at BTS' level in stage performances so far) but substance AND artistry which (i think) more than 90% of kpop groups lack in that aspect.
Thanks for your analysis and thoughtful discussion of BTS and their work. I have been a fan but did not become army until later. As others have said we find BTS when we need them. I found them when I needed to figure out what is next for me as an empty nester. I don’t have the answers yet but BTS and other fellow army are helping on my journey. A proud 58 year old army.
Yes please do a deep dive into Shadow! Thank you!
One of me faves of Yoongis!❤
It’s a phenomenal album and I’m just talking in terms in of the musicality and lyricism.
I am grateful for the fact that you put into descriptive words and cohesive concepts, ideas that might come to me but that I could never articulate in such an understandable way. Thank you once again for increasing my appreciation of BTS! 💜
It's pronounced 'YOO-NG' (like young, but yoo-ng)
I see Carl Jung as a heavily Christian mystical author. I like his mythology. And I also liked how a Jungian scholar, Dr. Murray Stein, analyzed MOTS
Thank you so much for this video. Map of the Soul was my first comeback as a new Army. Each song new and precious. I even had my first concert tickets that got canceled 😞 But today hearing you go through the thought and emotion of the songs brought me to tears in the best way possible. Realizing at age 50 Bts and their music represents a lifetime of what it means to live and grow up. It's the constant learning and discovering of ourselves and our place in this world. Still amazed me how BTS always finds you when you need them most💜
Thank you again! I am so enjoying your analyses of BTS’ songs and albums. I’m fairly new ARMY, and trying to take in and learn as much as I can as quickly as I can, to catch up. Please keep them coming!
Being that it is Suga's birthday and he is my bias. I would LOVE for you to analyze Map of the Soul Shadow 🫶🏾💜
This is very well explained. I love The Rose as well, went to their concert in Oct 2023.
Thank you for the valuable insights into Map of the Soul. The structure of this album is so exceptional. The lyrics are so interesting and beautifully executed. I keep on being fascinated!
Thank you so much for exploring and expanding this album for us all. This is my favorite album because I find it as if talking to me, especially affirming my feelings when RM and BTS talked about it. Truly BTS is wise and intelligent, and the album a personification of each member 💜💖💜💖💜💖
Indeed its was diving into the album 3times already😅
yey! My next fave The Rose, can’t wait for that episode😍💕👊
I appreciate you for sharing your thoughts and insights.
This is my first time sharing a comment.
I love your approach. 💜 greetings from Namibia 🇳🇦
Hello fellow African army 💜
I am glad that you are so patient for introducing BTS to us. Thank you.
Monumental indeed! Thank you
Ik persoonlijk ga gemakkelijk naar ’Bookish theorie ’ om de teksten van BTS beter te verstaan!🥰❤️💜
Ja, die is goed.
Thank you for such a comprehensive in depth analysis of BTS' album. Are you in academe? Anyway, the songs that BTS compose have all their experiences and have also dissected an ordinary individual's mind. They do not hide issues if they think it would help others by means of putting it in a song. They should maintain their friendship for it is being one, they have grown, became mature and will always be a positive influencer globally to us..
Dang!!!! I did NOT know that bts was that deep!!!
Dang woman! Well done!!! 💜💜
As usual, you are so informative . Thankyou. Food for thought.😊
I do enjoy the video. Thank you, like always
Jung is Swiss and his name is German so it is pronounced YOONG. It means “young” and is the most common German surname.
Wow very insightful! As an older and newer fan it seems hard to find the objective information you present here especially with the toxicity of social media. I’ve seen the boys refer to 2018 as a difficult time for them…can someone direct me to articles etc or give a summary of why that was such a pivotal time for them? thanks
Look up Jimin vlog from April 2018. It is about 17 minutes long. Excellent insights in his talk. (Bring kleenex)
Title is "180413 Jimin"
@@fransikayethank you so much❤❤
@pamelamt8895 i think you are the 30th person to ask about this. i'll do a video for you guys.
@@AsianEntertainmentandCulturethank you….there are enough of us newer fans who would really appreciate your professional prospective!
Just wanna say Thank you very much.
❤ and yeah The Rose? Way to go...😊
Oh me encantaría que hablaras sobre Dimash Qudaibergen y su réquiem: "The Story Of One Sky"
Lo encuentras en YT bajo este nombre entre comillas. DQ es muy famoso en Asia, ojalá sea de tu agrado y puedas compartirnos tanto de él como te sea posible si es que cubre tus expectativas como cantante de neoclásico crossover. Saludos y muchísimas gracias x tu arduo trabajo. Bendiciones
Love to hear an analysis of Balming Tiger
Love your videos ! Thank you I agree with It all. Why skip anima animous?
Thank you

Thanks
Thank you! Just dm me or leave a comment for any topic you want me to cover.
This is off topic and I haven't watched the video yet but I will I started watching bts content and listening to their music at the end of 2022 I first heard them in 2019 anyway to get to the point and I'm sry if I'm all over the place as my mind races but I was wondering if u have a way I could get ahold of u personally to discuss some things? I would really like to talk to someone with a level head that can guide me in some things about BTS and that won't jump down my throat and will have an open and honest conversation with me I don't have Twitter and never will for there is too much toxic stuff on there and I get triggered then I get migraines so I think it's best for my mental health and physical health to not get an account so if u would be willing to talk to me I would appreciate it much sey about how long this turned out and hope it doesn't offend u that I wrote under this video thx in advance
Army are always available me including if u like to talk with someone else too 😊
I also never have and never will do Twitter/ Facebook/IG. There are a lot of armies who will to best of their ability to discuss BTS in an honest way. If you have questions and thoughts, take a chance and voice them. 💜
I would really like to start talking to people but like I said I'm afraid the stuff I really need to tak about would trigger some people even though I'm looking to get some clarification and stuff I just want to maybe talk with one person first as I've not talked to anyone before I guess what I'm getting at is I need someone who can pook at all angles no I'm not a shipper or a solo stan
Also I would like to talk to someone privately so I can get my head on straight before I go and start talking and make a fool of myself or say something that I shouldn't or would regret
@melissahuffaker6229 no problem I'm here for you girl where do u want to talk cuz I'm not into social media that much I'm getting ready to open my cooking youtube channel that why I recently open an insta account 😅and I have a fb as well so let me know where you feel more comfortable 😉 😊 💜
I would love it if you would go in to deep with Louder than bombs
Thanks!
Wow! God bless you!!❤ she so deserves it.💜
Wow. thank you so much. I am opening a Patreon. I'd like to give you access. Please dm me on X/Twitter or IG or email me
@@AsianEntertainmentandCulture hey .. I lost the comment that you made to me a few days ago about visiting Kansas, I was going to reply back at a later date and the comment got lost and I didn't know where to find it. I don't know if you are in America or out of the country so I'm not sure how to respond. One thing I can say that if you are out of the country and coming into the states just be careful because the America that is being presented to the outside world is nothing it really is. Depending on what state and city you go to there are huge differences. Love your channel and wish you the very best❤💜 you are a very intelligent and thoughtful person and I love that about this Channel and I hope you grow and grow because you deserve it!!🥀
@@AsianEntertainmentandCultureyou are very welcome, thank YOU for all your important work. We all appreciate you.
@64onehotmama i live in California! I will probably eventually move out of here. It's a very different place now. I am starting to make my way around the US to see where I want to settle. is it peaceful and safe in Kansas?
First here 😊 hi dear

@@sandyitaka8471 oh wow. thank you for letting me know. it means a lot. I am not expert, of course and am not a psychologist but if you need someone to talk to or want more videos on something that you are curious about, just let me know.
@AsianEntertainmentandCulture will definitely do I was depressed and still are but I'm getting better actually 🤗 now and bts helped me a lot believe it or not 😅 if I can contact you somewhere else that will be cool, I'm not that much on social media actually I'm getting ready to open my yt cooking channel that why I recently open an insta account and I have fb as well that it 😅
@@sandyitaka8471 just email me at f at asianeac dot com. I do have IG iamfairlane. Let me know once you've opened you cooking channel! excited for you.
the way i heard people pronounce Jung after this album...
How come you mentioned every single one of the guys by name during map of the soul and how you connected them with the album except V.
I believe she also didn’t mention Jin and maybe Rm by name. She did include pictures/video of all the members during that section of the video.

Thank you for this analysis/ explanations Video of MOTS 7 🙏🥹💜
