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

Word babble ahead:

I think Jungkook is the kid trapped in the room from Omelas? In this MV we see him separated from the others in a room. It kind of looks like he went in using the key from Singularity? In addition, when he leaves (The waterfall scene?), all the 'water' or troubles from his room rushed to Jimin, and Yoongi was surrounded by fire. In Omelas, one person's happiness is traded so that everyone else can be happy. So if that one person escapes, everyone else can't live in their perfect world anymore and everything becomes chaotic? (Alternately, Jungkook died in the car crash and him separated is seeing what Jin is doing to change everything, but unable to reach everyone else?)

Edit: I forgot that Spring Day isn't officially part of the BHU, but Omelas Jungkook sort of looks like a parallel situation to the universal storyline.

If Jin is the one messing with the time line as a lot of theories think, could it be first Tae notices (His expression in Euphoria), and now Jungkook is realizing? He keeps looking through walls at other members.

Tae's shot with all the electronics/phones immediately made me think of how social media can be a form of 'fake love', but that's probably unrelated haha. Seeing the "I'M FINE" then "SAVE ME" in the background gave me chills, though.

PS. Yoongi has Converse on in the fire scene, I don't know what to think anymore.

Edit: ALRIGHT I'm going to go with seeing all the SEE NO EVIL, HEAR NO EVIL, SPEAK NO EVIL references as if you replace EVIL with LOVE...it's hard to see, hear about, and speak about the negative aspects of unhealthy or 'fake' love. During the choreo it seems that they do it at specific times during the chorus.

i like ur theory abt jk realizing! before jin's room started to collapse, the wind hit jk. maybe this is a timeline where jin just couldn't save everyone (considering the theory abt jin time traveling is true) and jk is realizing the affects its having on the current timeline they're in now.

Aah good point! I wonder what Jin is giving up to keep resetting time, is that why his room started collapsing here? Also the lamp goes from Jin to Jungkook - I wonder what that represents.
