I have decided to do an ARMY Rewind 2020! I have also, very quickly, come to the conclusion that this is a huge undertaking. Therefore, I will be uploading them in monthly installments and then combining them all at the end of the year. Enjoy! (Dates are in U.S. Central time zone--for example, Hoseok's birthday took place on Feb. 17 in the U.S., even though his birth date is the 18th. It will be listed under the 17th.)
(NOTE: MAP OF THE SOUL : 7 was released this month -- this is a long wrap-up. You have been warned! <3) HOW TO WORK IT: It's easiest to use CTRL+F if you're on a computer/laptop. Search for a date (e.g. JAN 10) or term (e.g. YouTube, views, streams, etc.). If you're on mobile, you simply have to scroll, I apologize.

sorry - English Ver. - Ilona O'Connor
(original by The Rose) [Woosung] As the stars come out tonight And the wind blows through the trees For not coming back, I’m sorry For leaving you here, I’m sorry The shining of the city lights I hear a voice blow through the trees For not coming back, I’m sorry For leaving you here, I’m sorry Even though I’m late, I know, oh [Dojoon] Tonight I see your blurry face Reach in the air towards your place Why is everything so hard once again? [Jaehyeong / Hajoon] I’m lonely We are Bulletproof : the Eternal - English Ver. - Ilona O'Connor
[Jungkook] Then, we had nothing except our dreams Nothing but fog there when we looked down [V] We stayed awake when singing turned to screams Dancing until our feet dug ruts in the ground [j-hope] (Ayy) And so we continue to shout, "Give it all out!" Keep on fighting with the world Don't wanna die But so much pain, 'n' too much cryin' It makes me wanna blunt my blades [Jin] (V) (Oh, I) We were only seven (I) But we have you all now FAKE LOVE - English Ver. - Ilona O’Connor
[V] If it was for you, I could pretend to be happy even when I was sad If it was for you, I could pretend to be strong even when it got real bad [Jungkook] I wish love was as perfect as it could have been I wish that all my flaws could have stayed so hidden In this dream that couldn’t ever come true, I grew a flower that could never bloom [Jimin] I’m so sick of this fake love, fake love, fake love [Jin] I’m so sorry but it’s fake love, fake love, fake love Epiphany - English Ver. - Ilona O’Connor
[Jin] You know, I was so sure, I loved you and I know you never loved me back I changed myself for you, pushed down myself for you, I even wore a mask But as I keep changing, I’m realizing that it hurts to keep it in So I’m done with that because I know that I’m comfortable in my own skin I’m the one I should love in this world Shining so brightly, I feel it now inside me I only know it now, so I love me I’m not perfect, but I’m so full of beauty I’m the one I should love Don’t Leave Me - English Ver. - Ilona O’Connor
[V] I’m listening to the words you’re saying as they’re spilling out fast And somehow it’s still hard to tell apart just what is what [RM] I’m starting to feel hollow Though your footsteps I follow I’m walking around in the shadows And it is still hard to see what is in the light, now, what? [j-hope] I know you’re the only one that is hiding my answer And before this night starts to end I wanna know everything At last, I have returned with Part 2 of my 'FAKE LOVE' music video explanation! This one will cover mostly the music video, but I may reference the trailer, so it’s probably best if you go check out that theory first. Come on back when you’re done!
Just so everyone is with me, I will be using the EXTENDED version of the official music video for this theory. It has the most amount of stuff in it, therefore, it is probably the most complete storyline-wise. Also, I have to give credit to @serendipitae and @sleepyheadmk786 on Twitter for prompting me to think about 'FAKE LOVE' in this way! I have to admit, I very much just took 'FAKE LOVE' at face value the first few times I watched it, and of course, I didn’t understand any of it. You guys really helped me understand what it meant! (Or at least what I think it means. :3) Thanks again. The main point to keep in mind here is that this video takes place in that weird miniature gap between HYYH and Love Yourself. 'Euphoria' MV does come before this video, so this is during that weird time where everyone is kinda split up and doing stuff on their own, but before and during the time when they hear about Jungkook’s car accident. I know. It sounds weird, it is weird, and there’s not a lot of time in that span. Just go into this theory with that mindset, and I promise I’ll do my best to make it all make sense. Scenery - English Ver. - Ilona O’Connor
[V] As I walk past this street full of gold Petals blow by as you’re walking through Can I hold, hmm, the image of you? I can barely hold my feelings in As the moon rises, I’m watching you Tell me when, hmm, can I sing for you? Moonbeams shine through the trees down on us And through these, we’ll be fine, this I know In less than fifteen words, Big Hit sums up the contents of their trailer right at the beginning of the video for once, making it super easy for us to leap directly in. This trailer is all about the transition from HYYH to LY. 'FAKE LOVE', therefore, takes place after 'Euphoria' in the timeline, being the bridge between the two eras. We can see this by the items they trade and receive.
Interlude : Shadow - English Ver. - Ilona O’Connor
[UPDATED 03/09/20: Added second verse] [Suga] I wanna be a rap star I wanna be the top I wanna be a rock star I want it, all mine I wanna be rich I wanna be the king I wanna go win I wanna be Last Of Me (Best Of Me Sad Ver.) - Ilona O’Connor
- song by BTS, instrumental by Smyang Piano, lyrics adapted by Ilona O’Connor - [Jimin] When we said that we loved us When we knew we would be "us" Tell me those memories, just one more time [Jungkook] When I said that I loved you And I'd never forget you Remind of those memories, one more time Recently, I saw a tweet on Pinterest from a fellow ARMY (@all_hail_bts) pointing out the wheelchair in the music video for Run. This got my brain gears spinning, as I very quickly came to the same conclusion I’m sure many of you have come to at this point -- the wheelchair in Run most likely connects to the wheelchair Jungkook is confined to after the car accident in the Love Yourself Highlight Reel. Eventually, I ended up with a whole full-blown theory on this wheelchair, but to explain it, I first have to explain a theory of my own that is the catalyst of my wheelchair theory, and that is that:
Answer : Love Myself - English Version - Ilona O'Connor
(Original sung by BTS) [Jimin] Open your eyes, when the world’s gray When your heart beats so very fast and you pray [Jungkook] In the mirror, your face asks again “How many times do you need to hear this question?” Run (Ballad Version) - English Version - Ilona O’Connor
(Originally sung by BTS) [Jungkook] Run, run, run, yeah [RM] You’re the sun that rises for me, the only one I see I’m blooming fiercely for you, but you still turn and leave It’s too late now, too late now It’s too late to survive now No matter what I do, I’m still calling out to you AUTHOR'S NOTES:
- Not a single bit of this story is happy. None of it. NOT A BIT. You have been warned. - Speaking of that, trigger warnings: this contains abuse, violence, suicide, mentions of overdosing, car accidents, fire, and mentions of blood. If any of that makes you feel uncomfortable, this might not be the best thing for you. - Please note that I have included Author’s Notes, which will look like [Author’s Note: This.] Some of these are my own (sometimes sarcastic) commentary, but some of them really are relevant to the story, so try not to skip over them. Of course, I mean no offense by any of my notes, they’re simply some of my thoughts as I wrote out the plotline. - Also, fictional warning! Don’t worry, this is all fiction. The character’s names are the same as the band members, but this stuff hasn’t actually happened to them. - The years are based off of Seokjin’s (Jin’s) character’s age. Year 19 means he was 19, Year 20 means he was 20, and so on. The boys are all younger than him. - This is based off of xCeleste’s video on the entire storyline. Check it out, it’s an amazing video that goes pretty in-depth for an overview! - This should go without saying, but this is, of course, just my take on the plotline. There are many different interpretations, so if yours differs or if you don't agree with my version, that's fine! As long as the plotline makes sense to you, it's correct. <3 - This is complicated, so get ready for a wild, wild ride. Not to mention it’s not over yet, so there’s still a lot of unanswered questions. That being said, here we go. AUTHOR'S NOTES:

(Originally sung by BTS) [Jungkook] Don’t think of a single word to say Don’t think of a single thought to pray Ayo, oh, please don't let it drift away, yeah [V] I cannot believe that you’re finally here It feels like a dream even when you’re near Ayo, oh, please don’t ever disappear, yeah Born Singer - English Version - Ilona O'Connor
(Original sung by BTS) [Jungkook] I’m a born singer, a bit late to say it, I know I swear The mirage that always used to fade is finally within my grasp It’s here [V] I’m a born singer, maybe it’s too early to say But that doesn’t matter to me, I’m good Whoa whoa, yeah, yeah, yeah Euphoria - English Version - Ilona O’Connor
(Originally sung by BTS - Jungkook [Jeon Jungkook]) [Jungkook] You’re the sun that has risen in my life Though my childhood dreams seemed so full of strife What is this feeling rising within me? I cannot believe it, I’m so happy |
