Hi everyone!
For the benefit of my readers who are not on Twitter, I wanted to share with you here further proof that most of BTS lyrics are based on their real lives, and that the lyrics we have been analysing are all canon.
I said in A Perfect Christmas Love Story:
As at 15 December 2012 (“middle of December” ), Namjoon was feeling very lonely and did not have a girlfriend. He did not have a girlfriend because: He couldn’t match up to anybody and BTS was debuting soon and K-pop artists are not allowed to date.
Namjoon found it hard to write love song lyrics if he can’t experience love and doesn’t know what love is. Thus, he believes that dating should be encouraged so that they can experience love and write about it.
These lyrics tell us that Namjoon draws on his personal experience to write song lyrics.
However, as we all know, Namjoon proceeded to write many many love songs after 2013 including I NEED U, I Know and of course Trivia 承: Love.
Thus, Namjoon must have started secretly dating and experiencing love after 15 December 2012 to be able to write the many (high quality and intimate) love songs throughout the years.
The Interviews
The following was said in this interview from 2.34:
Question: Are any of your songs written from personal experience?
Yoongi: Almost all….
Joon: I think… like um… Most of the songs are from our personal experiences… Most of the songs and the lyrics from our songs are really, you know, true, and close to the real life of us.
BTS have already told us many times that they write lyrics based on their experiences and lives – so why wouldn’t Trivia 承: Love, Serendipity, A Perfect Christmas, I Know, etc not be based on Joon’s real-life love story and experience?
In another interview (thank you @tayteh1!) from 13.10, the following was said:
Question: Who are your Musical Inspirations?
Namjoon: (At the end) Seokjin *cheeky wheeze*
Namjoon told us that his musical inspirations are from Seokjin, so why wouldn’t many of his songs not be about his memories with Jin?
What does this mean for us?
In short, I believe we simply need to continue to read the song lyrics from the perspectives of the authors. 😊 I am sure we are on the right path.
Have a wonderful day!
With much love, G
