This is based on the Avatar The Last Airbender / Legend of Korra lore. Essentially the character goes into their [Avatar state](https://imgur.com/cmMSTvm) when they access the knowledge and power of all the previous Avatars combined. It is their most powerful form, but also their most vulnerable state.

So how would you interpret this in the context of BTS? In my opinion, it’s their visibly out-of-body experiences on stage where it almost feels like something takes over and pushes them to outperform themselves.

I remember those [jumps and high kicks in their IDOL era](https://youtu.be/ayGl-igrwy8?feature=shared&t=350), or j-hope’s [Arson performance](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_zOZsm1FON8) at Lollapalooza, or Namjoon’s YTC in Busan [Cypher pt, 3 verse](https://youtu.be/KdMSniLFUqQ?feature=shared&t=241)… All these moments where I was left with my jaw on the floor and dumbfounded about what I had just witnessed.
