Map of the Soul, the Jungian process of becoming as framework of the album, fortified Big Hit and Bangtan’s goal as artists who produce and create art and music for healing. Buongbuo ang concept ng album as a journey into the self towards individuation - the state of becoming; the process of completing a life cycle. Dr. Stein’s analysis explains Bangtan’s path. At the time of writing and publication, the pandemic hasn’t yet disrupted the world. Stein concludes that Bangtan is a Kpop band that will remain true to its roots but ready for challenges of a global scale. We have seen that happen in the past two years! The album’s Intro and Outro are perfect “book ends” to the MOTS 7 album as emphasis on the individuation process of the self. Ang husay ng production team!
This is Jhope singing with joy and confidence on his discovery of his true self. Don’t we all want this for ourselves too? That affirmation of who we are begins from deep within.
“Only one hope, only one soul’
‘Only one smile, only one you’
Definite answer to the truth of the world
Only one and unchanging me, right”
