rys is seeing BTS

ARIRANG isn't just an album, it's a statement that BTS' legacy is untouchable!!

i love the detail of opening the mv with “you never walk alone”. it’s not only a reference to the album but it also feels like a reminder. the song talks about pain, uncertainty, and just getting through each day, which sometimes can feel like a broken roller coaster. but it starts by reminding us that even when life keeps spinning in circles and feels like that, none of them have to face it alone because they have each other. and somehow that message extends beyond them too. they have us, and we have them. after all these years, i think that’s what makes the reference so beautiful. no matter how difficult the journey gets, there’s comfort in knowing that we’re walking it together. 🤍

THE WAY THIS MV CAN BE CONNECTED WITH BOTH BTS REALITY AND THEIR HYYH UNIVERSE: hyyh: ends with the decision of all of them, not only seokjin, being stucked in the never ending loop of the "never walk alone" carousel with the result of all of them being young forever Reality: it represent their military life, they felt like they were a in never ending loop for being stuck inside, there were only happy memories of them together while they were away from eo

😭😭

I think the world isn't giving BTS enough credits for their incredible storytelling through cinematographic music videos and hauntingly beautiful from their honest emotions, hearts on their sleeves, that even something that is fundamentally monotonous & painful, can be beautiful.

Also, I noticed in the Proof concept photos that the white light shining on each member's face leaks onto them from the door they entered, and this light gives the message, "this door will always be left ajar for you to return." The members returned in Merry Go Round with the wear and tear and growth they gained during the journey from that gap; a message was given that they will be happy as long as they are together, regardless of time and space, but the doors are still infinite and referring to endless new chapters. The doors evolve along with the members, and each door represents an era of BTS. BTS leaves their own mark in the rooms inside these doors, both as solos and as a group. The room behind each door is the memories in the BTS universe.

the big dipper constellation means so much to them that tattooing it wasn’t enough they had to end the mv with it too bcs they’re finally together again 😭😭😭 that’s my seven that’s my family

The military quarters is the top canopy to represent they are in a loop of commitment & active duty that they cannot get out of. The only room with the lights on is RM's. Insomnia. Overthinking. This perfectly mirrors the rigid structure of military life: waking up at the exact same hour, executing the same drills, and following orders without question day after day. they ‘do their best’ to excel in their duties, but they have no control over the speed of the ride

In the last page of hyyh notes jungkook finds himself being upside down, in a place beyond time! The merry go round is upside down in space? BTS are stuck in rooms but doors are open unlike fake love MV while seokjin is in the opposite side. they are finally finding freedom...

Baby J-hope in HYYH who was left alone at an Amusement park near the carousel and Adult J-hope who is still stuck near the carousel

this reference made me think about how they were serving in the military, going through such difficult times, only waiting for their own spring day to arrive. I’m so happy that spring is finally here. I’m so happy they’re back.

SO THE MERRY GO ROUND MV IS AN ALTERNATIVE MULTIVERSE OF BTS HYYH ERA!?!?

And according to critics, ARIRANG by BTS has it ALL 🤷🏻‍♀️

THE WAY IN THIS PART THE MEMBERS WERE IN EACH DOOR ACCORDING TO THEIR ENLISTMENT ORDER OMG 🥹

2026 is the year of horse! It represents action, freedom, speed, and forward momentum. "Merry Go Round" is about BTS' military service & I guess the horse here represents their freedom from that period & moving forward as ordinary human beings.

this spring day × merry go round parallel
