"One of the things I learned making this film is just how heavy the crown that they wear is, like to be able to make amazing music, but also have to represent an entire country to the world. That's so unique to a band like BTS, and I wanted to make sure that we really underlined that in the film."

"I'm deeply honoured to perform at Gwanghwamun, the most historic place in South Korea," Suga said. "We named the album Arirang and chose Gwanghwamun as the venue to reflect our identity."

My thoughts on the ending, where she’s back in the museum, but all wet, is this: she wasn’t really there on the boat - she didn’t go through what BTS went though, but emotionally she went through it with them - she came back with it all, but the smile tells us she doesn’t regret it. She’s glad that she went on that journey with the group.
There’s A LOT more going on in the MV, but that’s my current take on the story.
5/5
The music break halfway through is when military service starts. From then on, she’s devastated. The members come in and out, but not together and there’s a separation between them and ARMY. The only time we see the members together, they are in uniform completing their service.
3/5
