An inside look at RM's "Bicycle" and V's recommendation on Weverse

Today, and giving continuity to the FESTA month, the leader of BTS, RM, has shared with us a personal and calming song, "Bicycle," through the BTS Blog. In the notes, he has explained he wrote it while actually riding a bicycle. He mentioned that Mono was released three years ago, so the FESTA days were a good excuse to write something personal and release it.

This is not the first time that RM shares his philosophy on nature, how he connects something so simple as a rock with something so complex and delicate as the soul. It seems like he can easily connect with what surrounds him, understanding every single part of his own world. In "Bicycle," we can hear how the people have been living due to COVID-19, in a complete state of quarantine, with no one outside the streets. He complains a little about it; however, he finds a way to search for something positive in the situation, describing that riding a bike on an empty road is not as bad as it seems. He pulls out analogies of people and their hearts "floating like an island," perhaps trying to explain or represent the hopes and dreams that, for this pandemic, couldn't become true.



The fact that he uses a bike as a point of freedom is also quite astonishing. RM captured his own feelings while "feeling the rooftop and smelling the truth," very positive about what is next: When pandemic is over, and everyone could start their lives again, with no worries and that type of freedom that only a bicycle is capable of giving. He invites a dear friend, ARMY, to ride a bicycle with him so that they can also stop being afraid and realize how lucky they are to still be breathing.

But not only RM shared thoughts today. Outside of the FESTA Calendar, V posted a link on Weverse. This link contains a video from Matthew Chun, an original content creator. In the video, called "17 and Lost Memories", Chun points out some details on his early years, how things have changed at the same time he was growing up, meaning that everything evolves, even ourselves with what surrounds us. His topics are all focused on photography and filmmaking, showing his talents and passions. 

This young artist has recorded everything he does based on a Korean saying, "The only thing that lasts are photos" [남는 건 사진 밖에 없다], a phrase that his mom has told him while he was a kid. He didn't understand it until he wanted to register every important moment that has lead him to the next big step. The ideals, or the philosophy, that Matthew Chun wants to share has reached V, someone who is extremely fond of photography and has a great eye when it comes to taste in specific fields (mostly, fashion field). 

V wanted ARMY to hear and see more of Chun's projects, posted all on YouTube, and he got it: the video reached a million views in few hours since the post on Weverse (it had been uploaded a month ago), and the comments section was filled with love and support towards the artist, who thanked V and called him "goat" [Greatest of All Time], a description that V used on his Weverse publication by representing it with emojis. 

ARMY trusts BTS like no other. The bond between them is absolutely incomparable and has not be seen between any other artist and fandom. People also dared to compare ARMY with a "cult," and when it comes to sharing ideals and art, BTS knows how influential they can be with their fandom. They use that as their special perk, and through that, they help a lot of young and underrated artists to get reached; they also help through their words and actions to those social communities who need a voice, they help NGOs the most, and they all do it in a way that ARMY can continue their goals and can become more of a human being, connected with nature and art. 

Definitely, BTS has a voice and is ARMY.
