At midnight on November 5th, BTS’s youngest member, JUNGKOOK, revealed the universe he wanted to share with ARMY, the name given to fans of the group.
Many pieces seemed to be ideal for representing JUNGKOOK and his character. A young person passionate about sports, music, drawing and video games who has already shared or brought up this type of hobby with the public in the past, so we could expect a room with sports equipment, screens computer or even easels, it is finally a studio which is presented to us by the singer.
Thus, “JUNGKOOK‘s room” is made up of a sound barrier, multiple speakers and is plunged into darkness. This choice of the artist, shares the fact that what makes him JUNGKOOK is the music, his fans. He is what he is by his profession that he lives with passion. The singer has already said this on several occasions during the program or through posts on social networks. In his eyes, nothing represents the person he is better than the one he is on stage since it is his job that made him grow, meet the members of the group who raised him and made him mature. (as we can see from the music “Begin” written by JUNGKOOK) and it is this job that taught him the Vision of the World that he currently has. The piece therefore remains faithful to the singer’s own.
In addition, the room is plunged into darkness, no light is on which creates the feeling that the working day is over, that the premises no longer need to be lit, thus transmitting an impression of silence and of loneliness.
This aspect offers a contrast to the public, a studio with various speakers should normally play music, be a noisy place, have an energetic and lively atmosphere. However, the “JUNGKOOK room” is the opposite total. Has the artist sought to represent the current situation in which the middle of the stage is almost at a standstill?
In view of the concept of the new album “BE” which is, as a reminder, to use the time “offered” by this period to create an album from scratch and to share each step with the fans, it is possible that JUNGKOOK has wanted to illustrate how artists lived this period. Thus, with the lights off, the door closed could give the impression of being completely stopped, stopped or even suffocated, but the heat that also emanates from the room, the writings on the walls and the soft light that emerges behind the sofa can submit the idea that despite everything, artists compose, create and manage to find their place in this new daily life.
The idea that they will find comfort in this room can also be materialized. Indeed, the color blue is a color synonymous with comfort, appeasement and the fact that JUNGKOOK wears sleepwear reinforces the idea that he feels good in this place despite the coldness of it, conveying the idea that during this dark period artists find comfort in their work, for him, music.
The promotion of their album continues every day on BTS social media at midnight until the release of the album called “BE” which is scheduled for release on November 20th.
