'Winter Ahead ' MV slighly has the " Pygmalion " element ( Sculpture come to life ) But Taehyung take the story line a different direction for the screenplay ....... he is Brilliant very creative Such a Genius Artist!! ❤ They both had separate sculptures..... the one with CLOTH on his head is IDOL V created / Manifested by Kim Taehyung &The GIRL Sculpture ( Armys ) Created / manifested by IDOL V You can see both sculptures in same scenes when TAE meet V and MV shoot sketch video on Bangtan tv My interpretation on MV : The STARDOM ( Stage / Theater ) created by IDOL persona V in Red jacket and The GIRL (Armys ) , The ppl arround him in white dress ( his creations ) all these = his Happiness = PARADISE disapeared in the End......... IDOL V just accepts the REALITY that the STAGE , LOVE from Armys , and everything that surrounded by him = PARADISE is just were there for Short period of time ......... after that HE himself the only one ( Real persona Kim Taehyung in black ) he has to RELY on in life.................. ( Black outfit & black liquid on Taehyung head = his personal HARDSHIP as an Artist for IDOL persona V , Teddy bear = his winter bear song refference ...... as this is also winter song or V is Army's " Winter bear" Red butterfly = a new idea of creation idol V just got...........etc
This is a 100% Kim Taehyung video. All those things you mentioned about how beautifully it was shot, the wardrobe, the setting, the creepiness even! all perfectly Tae. And the song, also so so Tae. Hope you get a chance to see the Bangtan Bomb of the making of the mv. Just for yourself to enjoy. Thank you for sharing this with us! 💜
Hi, i am back. Good reaction, ty. Good song. This is a sad song. Aww, Tae. Hugs tight. UwU Good vocals as usual. Good imagery and fits and makeup. But the hidden message, damn. I needed an army explanation video after this. And Bookish Theories dropped one. So pls give it a watch. He pulled a Yoongi! 0.0 I think the lady was army besides being a sculpture. Bday cake celebrating with different army in white. But they are the other sculpture's he made. He is very lonely. Aww. Innocence being represented. He was the fake the copy the sculpture. The real one was bleeding knocked out probably by the fake. sigh. The man's mind is a scary thing. So deep. U don't think of an MV like this to this song. The vocals are so old school, sigh. Taehyung and Park Hyo Shin’s voices blended well. Loved the harmonies. He misses the stage and army. Noticed call backs to BTS song Paradise. Winter ahead without the members and army maybe. Spending a bday alone. The Persona took over suppressed the real Tae. In this case knocked him over unconscious looks like. Trapped butterfly. He tried to off himself maybe but did not succeed because he fake. Gosh this one is so deep. Never heard of PARK HYO SHIN before. Liked his vocals. He and Tae sounded good together. U know i got Black Swan vibes on the 5th rewatch. Hope u watch the other version. Such a perfect waltz song. Borahae. -NY USA 2019 Army💟 @dennybae150 said on 11/29/24 For those who do not know much about Park Hyo Shin, here’s a basic info about him. Park Hyo Shin is one of the best, or perhaps the best ballad singer in S.Korea. He debuted in 1999 and was highly praised for his husky style voice and hitting high notes with such a low tone voice. His highest inspiration when he was young was Luther Vandross. The control he has over his voice is incredible. Because of his extreme singing skills, many singers in Korea do not even try to attempt to sing his songs because they are all difficult to sing and most importantly difficult to show such emotions like Park Hyo Shin does. Park Hyo shin is also highly known in Korea for not singing in the same singing method but being able to show different types of styles and tones for certain songs. He was not very lucky with his previous companies. He faced lots of litigation due to them not paying him for the concert or any events. He also had to endure lots of depressions in his life that I will not mention. But he was able to withstand it all and now he is a CEO of his own company, been doing musicals such as “The Man who Laughs”, “Mozart” etc. And hopefully will be releasing his 8th album soon. Park Hyo shin is highly known for songs like “Things I can not do for you”, “Good person”, “Memories resemble love”, “Snow Flower”, “Breath” and “Wild Flower”. I highly recommend listening to his song “Wild Flower”. It is a song that tells a story about his painful and difficult past but overcoming them and bloom again. Like a wild flower. @steveblevins8793 said on 11/29/24 The story is from Greek mythology. Pygmalion, played by V in this narrative, was a Cypriot sculptor who, in Ovid's Metamorphosis, pledged to remain celibate and devote himself solely to his art. One day, he sculpted a beautiful woman out of ivory alabaster. She was so perfect that he fell in love with her. On Aphrodite's festival day, Pygmalion quietly wished for a bride with the living likeness of his "ivory girl." Aphrodite granted him that wish, and the sculpture became human. This is where V's story and Ovid's story diverge. In Ovid's narrative, Pygmalion marries the sculpture-turned-human. In V's narrative, there is no happy ending -- only the realization that artistic perfection takes human form only in the fictive world of mythology. @leahwarburton said on 11/29/24 My take... The Tae in town - at the theatre, shopping, etc. is the "real" Tae; Sculptor Tae). We see him in town buying a giant teddy bear. Rather a romantic gift, I believe it is a gift for the "Newborn" Tae, whom he created. We then see, as Sculptor Tae is driving home at night, what appears to be a minor car crash in which he is injured. In the meantime the Newborn Tae awakes, alone and confused; believing himself to be Sculptor Tae. The female - and the others - I think only lived in the mind of Newborn Tae. Possibly previous, unsuccessful - or not fully successful - attempts by Sculptor Tae, who reused their clay in the construction of Newborn Tae. Thus Newborn Tae was infused with memories of the other sculptures, who possibly represented people from Sculptor Tae's life. Newborn Tae felt something was wrong, but he didn't know what. He had no frame work to understand who - and what - he was. Until Sculptor Tae, his head bleeding from wounds received in the crash (and head wounds bleed A Lot - I know from personal experience) finally arrives home. It is only then all the fragmented memories come together and he can make sense of them. And realizes that he is not real. Merely the creation of a lonely man. It is a sad moment for him; but at the same time it gives him clarity, and some comfort. At least that's what I think. Not that I've thought too much about it. 😅 Tae is magnificent as always in the MV. And I love his voice in combination with Park Hyo Shin🥰 Edited The Darker possibility is that Newborn Tae tried to do away with Sculptor Tae, and takeover his life. But it was a life built on illusions. And it all comes crashing down when Sculptor Tae , who somehow survived, returned to confront him; forcing Newborn to realize that he could never be the real thing. (And Yes, I am thinking too much about this). @hazelhyman1680 said on 11/29/24 My first impression (with a little revision) was a link not only to FRIENDS, as some suggestions previously, but to Slow Dancing's video. I've not tied up ideas of Pygmalion, etc yet, but: In Slow Dancing, V is shown as an amazing artist/sculptor (multi talented as we see his creations), but very lonely. He creates a digital world from his ideas - even creates an unreal self to interact with the people in his world. In Winter Ahead (just thought-- a head!-) he imagines all sort of things in vivid scattered dreams, creates the statue - and imagines what it would be like if it was real..... But he has actually created a copy of himself, which he has covered up. When he looks at it again, he sees only the face of his unreal self (just V, not Taehyung? we see what was or could have been a 'V' changed into an 'X'.. the X on his 'own' neck saying 'I'm not really V- that's a persona) - - and he breaks the sculpture in frustration/sadness/desire to be himself. He then imagines his likeness 'alive', damaged from the breakage (we got a glimpse of it earlier, left of screen (?) with something fluffy about the shoulders..) and the self- image he just destroyed faces him, leading (like the ending of FRIENDS) to his realisation that he has to come to terms with himself/love himself., and be his real self. Or Is he 'ARMY'? -the whole thing being an allegory...We have made him an idol, seen him in all sorts of situations: on stage, partying, going on walks, watching him sleep (lots of clips of him sleeping!), etc; and they have also has seen him low, depressed, crying, injured. Fans have imagined what it might be like to be with him in all these situations, and how it would be to do those with him......but for fans, those imaginings cannot be a real existence......He is a real person, and although he loves the fans, it is a 'fake/created/idealised love', in a way, because he can't have a personal relationship with all these people. Even if he wanted to break away from the fans at times, he couldn't bring himself to do that because of his idol-love for them and his feelings of wanting to help/heal/entertain them, and the fans would keep coming back for more! He is 'resigned' (in a good way, we hope) to continue his -sometimes lonely life, for the fans. The mansion representing everything that is entailed in his work life - he can't really leave it behind completely. (I know this is way out there, but I wanted to cast in another set of notions!). @annaeseolightwing4310 said on 11/29/24 I like this other set of notions! The ARMY allegory didn't occur to me, but it does tie to the energy of this MV, as well as the FRIENDS and Slow Dancing MVs. BTS members have always acknowledged the symbiosis between ARMYs and BTS. I replied elsewhere that the sculptor who created Galatea in this MV was not PygmalionTae, but actually was GalaTae, because the real PygmalionTae was the guy at 8:50 who appears to be a painting himself from the streaks of paint on his face. Galatea ceased to exist when GalaTae woke up from his dream; he knows he'll cease to exist when PygmalionTae wakes up from his own dream. Taehyung brilliantly conveyed GalaTae's resignation at 9:40. Heartbreaking. The dream dimensions in this MV mirror with the dream states in the FRIENDS and Slow Dancing (where the painting PygmalionTae could've been borne out of a baguette) MVs. I think Taehyung is hyperaware that he's living his dream right now with ARMY's. I feel in the future when Taehyung decides to walk away from being a celebrity to start his family, we will be ready as we connect these breadcrumbs that he laid down for us to follow.

Plsss react to ' Winter Ahead ' MV shoot sketch video on Bangtan tv & V and Lee jung Lee Dance practice video it's insane🔥
I have no idea why the lighting is so WEIRD. It doesn’t look like this while editing, only once it’s uploaded. I’ll work on figuring that out ❤
ok np
