The Astronaut.
I am just going to unfurl these thoughts as I listen to the song and lyrics and watch the video. So much symbolism in the video.
Tumblr media
The spaceship crashed and Jin sitting there, watching it burn.
Is the spaceship the juggernaut that is BTS? BTS did crash into the world on debut and the world did not know what had been unleashed upon it at that time. Or is it life in general or time itself? Maybe it represents Jin, Jin’s life. 
Maybe it is life’s (many burdensome) obligations.
Tumblr media
Time has gone by and Jin does puzzles (games) while waiting. Solving his puzzle involves adding words to represent the elements of his time with BTS and Army. “The planet is coming back soon.” The planet is BTS? The planet is home?
His room is full of little easter eggs. The guitar that Chris Martin gave to him. The Music of the Spheres album... posters of Coldplay, amongst other things. And Chris’ cameo appearance as the news anchor on tv...
Tumblr media
Then he sees the signal (light beaming to the sky)...it’s time to go. He’s been waiting and is ready to answer the call.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
His suit is slightly too small... he’s grown a little during the time he’s been waiting. Or he’s lost his original suit and had to borrow a new one? The cut of the black suit seems somewhat old-fashioned, and the color black is very conservative and also a color for mourning. Perhaps it represents something that is outdated... This is an intriguing detail. 
The little girl looks like international Army. And of course, because she represents us, she is adorable... I was going to guess her age but later in the video, I can tell her front teeth are growing in so she’s about 8.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
He puts the helmet on her to keep her safe. Then he looks back at his home... jesus, I’m crying as I write this. 
Tumblr media
And off he goes, running forward to his future, whatever is awaiting. Just like they’ve been doing all these years. 
Tumblr media
That’s a nice neighborhood, I wonder if its a movie set or a real neighborhood somewhere. I am expecting a behind the scenes video of this MV at some point. I think the small town street scenes are for sure a movie set. There are a lot of those in California.
Tumblr media
I love this image:
Tumblr media
He is speeding to his future by himself. Sure of himself. Not afraid in the least bit.
Tumblr media
And then he’s pushing the little girl off to ride by herself. She’s a little scared and doesn’t want him to let go.
As much as we don’t want to, we can do this, guys, we can do this by ourselves (omg the tears!)! WE HAVE TO DO THIS!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
We will have to hold our photos (memories) close to us for a short time.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
We are Jin’s universe.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
When he gets back to the ship, it has settled into the environment and the trees have grown up around it...it’s been a long wait. 
Tumblr media
And then it lifts off. The inevitable... life... time... obligations... whatever it represents, moving on as it does regardless. 
Tumblr media
And the dude in the FORD truck that stops to pick him up. And Jin rides off into the sunset. For now.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The sign at the end... Tejon Ranch? If that’s what it says, that is north of Los Angeles. The scenery matches that location.
Tumblr media
Last scene of the MV when he completes the word on the puzzle... F A M I L Y. 
We hear the bicycle bell and he rises to go see us. The anticipation on his face... (my god, how am I typing coherently at this point...)
I have a dumb question, at the start of the video, what does SBSM mean (appears at the bottom left of all the MVs)?
Tumblr media
And this number in the yellow circle on the top right?
Tumblr media
I can’t believe this song is almost 5 minutes long. I want it to be even longer. What a great song! I think it has great general pop appeal in that potentially non-Army/non-fans will like it a lot. The music video is so sweet and poignant for us who are very invested, and yet, repeating what I said, it has great general appeal as well. The location choice, the girl and the extras in the video are very diverse even though the neighborhood and town have a very “small town” rural feel to them. It is very much a video that western markets, especially the U.S. market can relate to visually. 
As I write this more than 12 hours after it’s release, The Astronaut is still at the top spot on iTunes. Sorry, Rihanna, apparently Armys’ feelings are stronger than everyone expected. I am certain this is taking a lot of industry people by surprise as well. I mean, it’s Rihanna, who hasn’t released music in a long time. You’d think her song would be hugely anticipated. But we are always underestimated across the board.
Beware anyone else attempting to release music when the next solo albums drop. If Jin can do this with ONE SONG, the rest of you are on notice. 
THANK YOU FOR A FANTASTIC SONG AND MV, JIN!!! I LOVE YOU TOO!! WE WILL BE WAITING FOR YOU!!

I am so proud of Jin
Tumblr media
So... hey there, everyone. I had wisdom teeth out yesterday so still a little woozy. But I just woke up and watched The Astronaut MV and I always surprise myself when the emotions hit me. And then I read some translations of Jin’s WeLive and now it all makes sense, all those times we thought we were going to hear an MS announcement and didn’t. And it adds another layer to the Festa Dinner. I need to take my narcotics but I will be back to talk because that’s what I do here. Peace out.
