You've waited for a long time for this video
and this time I'm gonna analyse THE NOTES!
I guarantee that they explained a lot
Let's get started!
I'll start from the explanation that we didn't upload any theory video for a long time because of my laryngitis
so I hope you'll understand
but it's better now so we're back to work!
We'll add more theories soon - EXO and BTS mostly
You can look forward to more videos
And now I'm gonna start our topic - The Notes
I think you already know but if not... Then you'll find out now
BTS released the Love Yourself: HER album and this small book was hidden inside
We have 'THE NOTES' as the title
Big Hit already uploaded Jin's note some time ago
I already explained you the whole note when I was starting the Love Yourself serie
It was the beginning when the Highlight Reel videos were released
I hope you remember anything because it'll be helpful now
This note fit to everything back then
and it explained everything
Many of you suggested making a video about The Notes
And then I found out that 14 (in fact 21, explanation in the description) notes were published
Two (three) notes from each member
I put them in order
I'll start from V's note
It was published on December 29th
When V was 10 years old
There are 3 ways to analyse those notes
And I wanna emphasize it right now
First of all, we can say that the year given on each note is the member's age
and I'm gonna stick to this point of view
The second option - the year given on each note is the current year when the action takes place, for example 2010, 2019, 2020, 2022
But if we stick to this method - the notes are from the future!
I don't really like this idea
However, I took it into consideration lately
Third option - ignoring everything written down there!
We can pretend that everything happens in the same year
but the dates are given
But it depends on you how you wanna analyse those notes
In the first note we can read about the relationship between V and his father
We already knew it's complicated since INU was released
I must remind you that it's not about the real V
It's about the character created by Big Hit Entertainment
Because I saw some comments where you asked if V really killed his father
Nope, V didn't kill his father
It's a created story! But let's get back to topic
V killed his father in INU but he fought with domestic violence in Stigma
He tried to protect his mother or sister... Or both of them
We can read in this note a story of V coming back home from school; he sees his father and he hasn't seen him for a really long time already
He runs towards him, he wants to hug him
It's his father! And the bond between a son and a father should be really strong
But then something he never expected happens
and because of that - he doesn't really know what happened
His father didn't welcome him with happiness
He rather welcomed him with anger, he hit him, shouted at him
The only thing that 10 years old V was able to notice were his father's bloodshot eyes
He didn't feel fatherly love - he felt the smell of alcohol
Basically everything we could see in the short part of Stigma
I'm not sure whether I should seperate the notes into each member or each date or anything else
Some notes are longer, some are shorter
The length of the videos would be different
I decided to put the notes into chronological order
The second note is Jin's note from 2nd of March when he was 19 years old
I think this note doesn't help a lot with the theories
but it gives us the basic facts to understand Seokjin's story
2nd of March is the first day of school in Korea
We find out that Jin was living in USA before
He came back to Korea 10 days ago
His father brought him to a new school
But Jin has to repeat 1 year because the school system in Korea is different than the one in the USA
The situation seems a bit weird because Jin describes his principal as the devil
The principal asks Jin wheather he will be living by the rules or not because school is a really dangerous place
Jin's father puts pressure on him because he's gripping his shoulder
he's waiting for Jin to give them the right answer; both men are expecting Jin to be a good student
The only thing that can come through Jin's mouth is 'yes' and it's the moment when his father's grip disappears
Jin is still afraid for some reason
the question is: why?
As you can see, it doesn't really help with the theories
But those notes give us the confirmation for the fact that it's not a weird story about the superhero Jin who is also a time traveller
It'll be a story about the 7 of them written down in a really short chapters
Suga's first note was written on 25th of June when he was 20 years old
I already can say that it's seems very meaningful and it turns all the theories upside down
All the theories related to Yoongi and his connection to fire
It clearly refers to his short film, First Love
and his connection to the piano
The note is really long and very shocking or... At least, it shocked me
The note starts with a scene where Suga takes an envelope from his desk
and a burned piano key falls out from it
It is related to First Love and a scene of burning piano
Thanks to this note we know exactly what happened
It's not related to Jungkook or at least for now it doesn't
because we don't know what the next notes will tell us about their story
We saw clearly that they are connected to each other in the Highlight Reel serie
so we cannot be sure about anything yet
We know that Suga went to his family house
but this house was burned
There was a fire in his family house 4 years ago
a piano also burned back then
I'll cite a right part of First Love lyrics:
The corner of my memory
A brown piano settled on one side
In the corner of my childhood house
A brown piano settled on one side
We also know that this fire caused something more tragic
There was a funeral
Suga's mother died in fire
Of course, the character created by Big Hit!
I have to remind you of this!
We also know that his mother played this piano and showed him the piano
I have another part of the lyrics for you:
I remember that moment
Way taller than my height The brown piano that guided me
I looked up to you I yearned for you
When I touched you with my small finger
I feel so nice mom I feel so nice
Yoongi lost both, his mother and a piano
He loved this piano really much and this is why the scene of burning piano in First Love symbolize the moment of fire in his family house
The moment when he sits in front of the piano relates to his note
A moment when he goes to his house 4 years after the fire
and he falls into the moment of reflection
After mother's death, Suga started to live with his father but he cannot talk with him
Sometimes he thinks about running away from home but he doesn't have the courage to do so
He didn't attend school for 10 days and he can be expelled
When he visited his mother's burned room, he took one of the piano keys with him
But now he throws the key away through the window
He didn't hear a sound of the key falling into the ground
He knows he cannot hear it... Same as he knows that he'll never hear the piano playing again
He will never play it again
However, we can learn from those lyrics that Yoongi never gave up
Back then when I fell into a pit of despair
Even when I pushed you away Even when I resented meeting you
You were firmly by my side
You didn't have to say anything
So don't ever let go of my hand
I won't let you go ever again either
My birth and the end of my life
You will be there to watch over it all
Now you can see that those notes turn the theories upside down
Yoongi has been always shown with fire
Now it suddenly relates to his memories about a dead mother
about fire in his family house
and a broken piano
Those three notes took place before BTS' debut
I think I shouldn't consider them as a band right now
They're rather a group of friends in this story
Those notes happened before in the past
and now let's move to the notes from 2014
The first one was written on 11st of April 2014
It's Jin's note
We already had one Jin's note written in the age of 22
It was the note published by Big Hit on Twitter
If we read one after another, we see clearly that they are connected to each other
The only difference is the date - one was written on 11st April and the other one on 13rd June
Jin describes his trip to the seaside
It's the important sea! Everything relates to this sea recently
We saw it in Highlight Reel movies, in BTS MVs
BTS had a photo together in front of this sea
and they took a trip together to the seaside
They went together back then but now Jin went alone
He describes the sea and says if anything has changed than it's him
He also writes that somehow he recalls a moment from 2 years and 10 months ago
But it vanished from his memory fast
They sat along the sea together and even though they were tired and sad, the only thing that mattered was the fact that they were together
It's a clear connection to the moment from the Highlight Reel: Love Yourself serie
Jin's narration in each part seems like a voice note right now
Of course, those notes are put in some order on the timeline
We have a date and a year
At least it's my opinion and I stick to this point of view
If everything happens in one year, it would change the meaning of all the notes
Jin recalls the thing that happened at the sea
We knew about it when we watched the Highlight Reel movies
But we still don't know what really happened there
Seokjin goes inside the car and drives away
He stops by their old school for a moment
and we see that his mind is full of memories
After some time he drives away again
A few streets later he sees a light at the petrol station
It's a station where Namjoon works
We know that Namjoon is working at the petrol station since INU MV was released
It seems like a really important information because we saw him working there in INU, Japanese version of BST and in For You MV
Big Hit emphasize the fact that Namjoon is working there
We also notice that Jin's relationship with Namjoon is better
His petrol station appeared in his second note
He also visited this station in Japanese Blood Sweat & Tears
and he said to Namjoon that they didn't see each other for a long time
Oh? Jin Hyung!
Long time no see
Jin's note ends here and the next one is a note written by Namjoon
What's really interesting - it was written in the same year, 2014
But it happened one month later - on 15th of May
Namjoon's note seems very depressing, even more than the one written by Suga
Even though it was very meaningful and turned everything upside down,
including the things I was almost sure about till now
15th of May is the last day of school
RM went to class which was actually a closet
BTS treated this place as their secret place
Everything was covered with a thick dust layer
Namjoon had to move a few chairs to go through
Namjoon moved 2 weeks ago
He has no idea whether he'll be able to see his Hyungs and Dongsaengs ever again
older and younger mates
RM takes out a sheet of paper and a pen and he wants to write something
But after filling this paper with black ink,
he instinctively also wrote "You have to survive" on it
It's something we saw many times already in BTS' MVs
In Prologue, in Korean and Japanese INU, in Reflection and Awake
To sum up, this phrase is very imporant and Big Hit tries to put out attention to it for a long time already
Now it appears again and Namjoon seems to be writing to the rest of BTS
It was their secret place so they will probably come back here one day and see his message
As we know, now they contact each other
Namjoon thoughts circle around poverty, parents, younger mates, moving and other things he calls a mess
However, he doesn't leave this paper, he squashes it and hides in his pocket
But before leaving the classroom, he breathes at the window
He writes three words:
'We will meet again' (in Korean and Polish it's 3 words)
He says it's insufficient but it can be conveyed to everyone even if it's unsaid
Namjoon treats it as a promise between them
The moment of Namjoon writing on the window reminds us of every scene where RM wrote 'You have to survive'
But this time he writes a promise - they'll meat again
Another note written in the same year 2014
30th of September 2014
It's Jimin's note when he was 19 years old
We already noticed in Highlight Reel that all Jimin's scenes were with Hoseok
They are friends and they spend a lot of time together
But Jimin envies Hobi
He wants to be just like him
He especially envies Hoseok his talent
When we read this note, we find out from the very beginning that there is a strong friendship bond between him and Hoseok
They come back from school together even though it takes 2 hours to go by feet and 30 minutes to go by bus
But Hoseok is stubborn, he shows Jimin various alleys and short ways to his home
Jimin moved to this school one year ago after he left hospital
We don't know yet what happened and why he was in the hospital
But maybe it explains why Jimin was only sitting on the floor and recording Hoseok
Maybe it was because of his sickness
We also find out that Jimin changed school many times
He also doesn't know when he'll have to do it again
or when he'll have to go back to the hospital
We can presume that Jimin is still sick and he's often in the hospital
Jimin doesn't care about the fact that he doesn't really know anyone at this school
It's because he moved many times so he didn't pay attention to people around him
He has Hoseok as his friend; he's talking on the phone in Jimin's story
He's stepping on his shadow
It makes J-Hope laugh and he ironically says that Jimin's grown up
Jimin stepped on Hoseok's shadow a few more times and J-Hope started to chase him
We see how their friendship look like
Jimin hears the cicadas all of a sudden and he starts to wonder how long will it last
He's afraid of the future
The last part of the note makes us sure that Jimin is seriously sick
A hospital, wondering how long his happiness can last...
All of it comes to the conclusion that everything can end in the less expected moment
We also find out how they met each other for the first time
Jimin moved to a new school and Hoseok was the only one who approached him and spend 2 hours with him walking Jimin home
even though Hoseok's home was in a completely different direction
Jimin didn't know about it and he found out some time later
He was really happy and he wanted his moment of happiness to last forever
To be honest, the more I read those notes and the more I analyse them, the more depressed I feel
Because it's the feeling from those notes
Jin is gone, he recalls the past, the moments they spent together
Suga lost his mother in fire, Jimin is sick and the only thing he has is Hoseok's friendship
I don't know what Big Hit is trying to do but there are so many sad stories written down that they can make a whole drama about it
I hope you can understand anything right now
Again, I remind you that those stories aren't true
It's a story created by Big Hit
V didn't kill his father, Suga didn't lose his mother in fire and Jimin is not sick!
Please, remember about it!
I also say that it's my point of view
However, I've been wondering lately what would happen if it's really 2019, 2020 or 2022
Maybe I'll took it into more consideration later
But it's all for now, I hope you liked it
