If we’re at four years with MotS:7, that means we are also officially at four years with Moon, which, for me, is not just one of my all time favorite songs, but is also one of the greatest declarations of love between an artist and fandom. Jin’s willingness to speak to his insecurities (“though they say I’m beautiful, my sea is all black…”) and open up about how he isn’t sure he’s enough for US, while so wholeheartedly saying we are, and will always be, more than enough for him, is a level of devotion that you don’t encounter every day. All of the members are invested in us, in our continued happiness and fulfillment, but it’s always been a bit more poignant for me, personally, coming from Jin.
Freaking out at the office when the Black Swan MV came out. Like, we truly had NO idea and I was just supposed to stop my entire life and pay attention???
Y’all should have seen my face when the opening strings of Black Swan hit. And then the contemporary ballet? Frozen in my seat. It’s like they made it for me specifically.
Black Swan was a cultural reset. We all know that.
But Goddamn, the On Kinetic Manifesto?? It hit HARD because at that stage BTS were being pulled up and down with the English trilogy they were like “we back beytches” in true Bangtan style.
Phew. What a moment.
I still remember I had a work brunch and I was listening to it on my way there.
It feels like yesterday but also doesn’t, 4 years MOTS: 7, no one has reached you.
