LY:Tear/Fake Love MV Theories Megathread

[u/anyone-but-me]

Good morning/afternoon/evening lovely people. Please post all of your theories involving the Love Yourself/BTS universe after the release of LY:T and the Fake Love MV here! Happy theorising <3

yoongi and fire (and smirking in satisfaction when everything around him starts to burn?)

Yes, he has that same smirk in Bultaoreune/Fire when the dude was on fire LOL

Yeah!! Someone mentioned that theory of it being the same person in another thread. I was comparing more of Yoongi and his association to Fire.

I also have no idea of Tae's role in the cinematic scenes and how does it all come together... hmmm :|

I for one have never believed Taehyung is "the devil", nor that he's the magic shop guy. It just doesn't make sense when you see that he made a bargain in the magic shop too. He sure has some kind of special role but he's a character who's struggling and needs to be saved just like the others.

The only video where it kinda made sense was BST but that video is extremely symbolic and I always took his scenes to mean that he fell into temptation, not that he's evil.

Hmmm... you might wanna check Singularity MV again. Towards the end of the video, V's ears are of different sizes. Which relates to the 'Magic Shop'.

Referring to this from Twitter. Maybe this info will help https://twitter.com/bangtanjewel/status/996059906884059136

Magic Shop thread

[u/frankievsworld → u/iloveoreo]

Oh I didn't know about the ear! Since writing the previous comment I also found out they showed a polaroid of Tae wearing the masked guy's cape. My problem with all of this is still the same though: why would he be shown going into the magic shop to make a bargain if he's the one who owns it?

[u/iloveoreo → u/frankievsworld]

Tbh that is still a puzzle to me too. If I were the put myself in the shoes of being an owner, there must be something Jungkook have that he doesn't. At the end of Fake Love MV, we see Jungkook approaching the masked guy (which I assume is V) and... we don't know what happen afterwards. Maybe the next MV will be a continuation of the storyline, which i hope.

A clue that I have is this: before JK went inside the room, he was clasping a handful of sand but as you see from the shadows, flower petals soar from his hands. This reminds me of the VCR during the Wings Tour Second Chapter where the boys enter a room and suddenly there were rose petals floating Wings Tour VCR

You can check over YouTube, I can't seem to find any pictures of it. So... There might be a connection from that.

There are also petals flying from Jin's hands in the Japanese I Need U MV (or maybe they're feathers, I can't really tell). Too bad I don't know what to do with all this information lol

[u/iloveoreo → u/frankievsworld]

Lol guess we have to wait for another MV ^{^}

Couldn't there be two Taehyung though? Some split personality caused by his trauma. Akin to how Jimin almost saw his other self in the Japanese BST video.

/u/sekai-31 posted a theory about this in a comment below. I think it's definitely possible but I'm still not 100% convinced it's the case.

Maybe Tae notices that Jin's the one doing the controlling? It's like he's aware of the things Jin is doing and he's trapped and need saving? Because in Euphoria, only Tae has the weird look when Jin swapped places with him in the jumping scene.

ARGH HELP
