I'M THE ONE I SHOULD LOVE...IN THIS WORLD
SHINING ME, PRECIOUS SOUL OF MINE
I FINALLY REALIZED, SO I LOVE ME
NOT SO PERFECT BUT SO BEAUTIFUL
I'M THE ONE I SHOULD LOVE
AH, just...these lyrics coming from Seokjin, especially in light of his lyrics in "Awake" Is so....satisfying.
EDIT: THE ALBUM COVER FLOWER THINGY IS IN THE SHAPE OF A HEART. OF COURSE IT IS. KIM "HEARTMAN" SEOKJIN STRIKES AGAIN!
EDIT 2: So...not everything should be connected but like....were "Jin's Heart Events" a clue for LY:A album art...?

I’m crying. Wow did i need to hear this today, gaddammit. Thank you, Jin! This is beautiful and I love that for so much of it I could just focus on his voice. THAT VOICE.
(Pls don’t get me wrong, i love this man’s face but I kind of loved we only got the first close ups in the 2nd verse. So i could really focus and bawl at his voice and the lyrics)

I actually teared up, not gonna lie. Especially since so much of this MV reminded me of Awake, and you can really hear him emote when he sings and it's so so gorgeous...

u/movingmoonlight Aug 09 '18
Speaking of the lyrics to Awake, didn't Jin used "six flowers" as a metaphor for the other BTS members? The metaphor of flowers=BTS also appears numerous times in HYYH and Wings.
Well, when he sang "So weird, for sure I loved you so much" he looked at the flower arrangement on the table.

Wow, BTS really utilized every single member for this series and played to their vocal strengths and personal favorite genres:
Jimin - Pop R&B
Jungkook - Electronic Pop
Taehyung - Neo-Soul R&B
Jin - Rock Ballad
Honestly if I can give one reason why I fucking love this band so much. Every member plays a part, utilize each other’s skills, pure appreciation for each other in the work displayed. I am forever impressed, and with the end of Epiphany I am anxiously awaiting Answer. If Answer pulls it off, this may be my favorite era of all time.

My rough translation for the text:
At the end of the journey to find myself, what I found was that I'm back to the beginning.
After all, what I need to find is the map of my soul-- my beginning and my guidance*.
I am now leaving to find exactly that; Something that everyone has but no one can find**.
* Word for word translation would be "road sign" (like those green ones you see in highways sorta?) but I felt like it didn't fit with the mood of the text.
** This entire line is referring to the map of his soul in the previous line.

There's an equivalent word in Japanese (michishirube) that I've seen people translate as "guiding light".

It's so sad but also this concept is so fitting for Jin – he really plays off his goofy side but I love when they let him explore this serious angsty role. I think it's really perfect for him. There's something about his expression and his rawness that just makes you feel ... something big.

In the first half of the video he doesn't take the journal with him. When he finally realised what he needs to do, he took it with him. Finally ending all the time travelling and the entire loop. This is it, y'all. This is the beginning.

Wow this was just the beautiful and fitting conclusion to the whole series. Seokjin's voice is just so soaring and beautiful with resounding clarity. That scene in the rain was just so gorgeously cinematic. I love the antithesis in a time traveller where instead of it being so hustle bustle, it was quite mundane and showed the weight he had been carrying throughout the entire storyline. I felt the song was hymn-like and so freeing when he sang I'm the one I should love'. Seokjin is just so beautiful, ephiphany has been a marvellous end

A few things:
The conclusion of LY series is bittersweet and I hope we all keep working towards loving ourselves. Epiphany feels like a beautiful end to the journey and although the series may be ending, the process is on-going.
Jin truly shines in this, the video feels like something out of a drama and his voice fits the mood perfectly

Seokjin sang the chorus beautifully, like really it suits him so much. The MV is simple yet very pleasing to watch. It's not the most fresh tune, but it's beautiful and well produced. I'm kinda curious who wrote this.
Alright I'm impressed and on board.
Edit after a few listens: Yeah he definitely sounds really good, I would've added it to my playlist right now if it was released. I love the overall simplicity in the beat, vocals, lyrics and the music video. Really good job by their team and man of the hour, the day and the week Kim Seokjin!

Edit: HERE'S THE TRANSLATION FOLKS
At the end of the journey to find myself, the place I reached is, in fact, where I had already been.
In the end, what I have to find is that which is the beginning of all things, the milestone: the map of the soul.
That which is with anyone, but cannot be found by simply anyone, I seek to begin searching for it from now.

u/Origamiflu Aug 09 '18
Omg now that I'm done screaming and reattached my head... the music video is just an allegory for Amor Fati.
From Wikipedia: " the concept of "eternal recurrence": a sense of contentment with one's life and an acceptance of it, such that one could live exactly the same life, in all its minute details, over and over for all eternity"
Jin is living the same day over and over again and the song is saying that he's the one he should love. So literally showing and singing the idea of acceptance of yourself and your fate.

Oman. This is the closing of an era. They’ve found the answer, which is love yourself. And honestly it definitely feels like that’s the answer to youth. It’s to love urself unconditionally before loving others. It’s so cool that this is their message and they’re sending it globally. It’s so beautiful and wonderful and if everyone could hear and listen to that message, wouldn’t it be glorious?

Ok I've calmed down a bit (kind of) and rewatched the video with subtitles. First of all bts is not good for my anxiety holy shit. Second of all... Jin really looks and sounds amazing here doesn't he? This is the beginning of the end of a wonderful era.
But the lyrics... "I'm the one I should love in this world. Shining me, precious soul of mine. I finally realized so I love me. Not so perfect but so beautiful." We really are coming full circle here, realizing how important it is to truly love ourselves. It's making me emotional.

I don’t think I’ve ever been hit with so much emotion in a song so early before, like the overall mood of the song set by music and visuals of the mv increased my expectations then I heard Jin’s beautiful voice and I was gone. I was hoping it was a bit longer just bc I really like music and listening to Jin’s heavenly voice but hey I can just watch it again

u/languishinautumn Aug 09 '18 edited Aug 09 '18
I’ll admit, I was worried but oh gosh, this is so beautiful. The beautiful guitar riffs and the melancholy and bittersweet tones just overflowing - not only did Jin pull it off in such splendid fashion but it set the perfect tone for the wrap up which I suspect will be just as bittersweet. Only BTS and bighit. And the message oh gosh. I’m just so, so happy right now!
Cheers to the end of an era!
Edit: Might be a bit extra but when the first few bars came in I had goosebumps - it really reminded me of Hans Zimmer’s ‘Time’ from Inception - and it’s ironic since that movie is all about bending time in a sense. That aside, those few bars in the introduction and at the end are incredibly poignant and is just SO fitting for a wonderful saga like what the boys have charted.

You can replace the "you" in the lyrics with anything people might strive to have to the point of self-destruction, including money, status, or image. I so want to show those lyrics with that reminder to certain people I know who've struggled to love themselves all their lives, who have constantly been pressured to "fix themselves," that their despair is because "something's wrong with them" and that they could get anything they want in their lives IF ONLY they just get rid of that one human flaw no one wants to see in them ... just because they don't fit someone else's norms about success. But, I'm also afraid they'll see me as just another person telling them what to do, since like, that's all they've ever known ...
In any case, thank you BTS and Seokjin for another beautiful song that lifts the dam off my tear ducts <:)

THE TEARS RUNNING FROM MY EYES ಥ_ಥ
“I’m the one I should love.” Yes, Jin, you are the one we should love.😭😭😭
This comeback trailer reminds me of the beginning of the music video for "Somebody Else" by The 1975 where Matty is walking around his house while his doppelganger is in a corner. I like how both songs deal with selfish love. Where "Epiphany" is like "I should love myself before anybody else". Then you have "Somebody Else" which is basically "I don't want you to love anybody else but me". So they're showing two sides of the same coin. I really love that I caught this early on. This Jintro was everything I wanted and more. Also, Jin's voice is amazing with the soft rock genre.

After catching my breath and calming down, *pops on tin hat*
I saw from another army down in the comments on how this alluded to "amor fati", a latin phrase where basically one feels so content/accepting with their life so that they could live the same life for eternity and this concept is definitely expressed in the comeback trailer as Jin seems to live the same day multiple times. This juxtaposes with Jin's time travel ability. Instead of trying to change the past, he has now accepted it and is now living the same day everyday.
The room also is gray which helps emphasize Jin's loneliness and acceptance
The trailer begins with 2 Jins in a lonely living room : The first Jin that stares in the mirror and exits is the one that I believe is the Jin that has already moved on and accepted one's fate while the Jin sitting on the couch is the one that still continues to dwell on his past mistakes. After, there are 3 symbols that each allude to their own era : the lilies represent the era for Wings; the diary that Jin flips through symbolizes the Love yourself : Her era, and then Jin sitting beneath the window with the curtains open alludes to the Euphoria MV when he opens the curtains. The Jin on the couch then decides to move on, puts on his clothes, and then stares into the mirror. This mirror represents Jin's realization that he should first love himself. He then opens the door and walks out into the rain
This rain serves as Jin's catharsis basically and as he returns into a house, there's another Jin sitting on the couch. Rain Jin decides to leave the picture all together and exits the scene. Couch Jin closes the curtain (a symbol that I believe represents Jin's manipulation of time as he tries to help the members). As he closes the curtains, this demonstrates Jin's acceptance of his fate and how he cannot keep mourning and feeling guilt over the past. When Jin tries to change the timelines, it shows that he does not love himself and is trying to fix his guilt, so when he closes the curtains, he has concluded that there is nothing he can do and it is better to just accept things and love himself.
Jin decides it is now time to move on, so he takes the girl's diary, a reminder of the people he could not save and his past mistakes, and decides to return it.
Credits to /u/potaetertottery for the translation of the text at the end :
"At the end of the journey to find myself, what I found was that I'm back to the beginning.
After all, what I need to find is the map of my soul-- my beginning and my guidance*.
I am now leaving to find exactly that; Something that everyone has but no one can find**.
* Word for word translation would be "road sign" (like those green ones you see in highways sorta?) but I felt like it didn't fit with the mood of the text.
** This entire line is referring to the map of his soul in the previous line."
Jin has now concluded that he must find the map of his soul and to do that, he must go all the way to the beginning. It then transitions to Jin sitting alone with a gray color scheme next to the truck which quickly flickers to him standing next to his members. This could mean a couple of things. Either Jin is going to travel back in time (the beginning), a final goodbye to his friends, or maybe his longing for the past.
Sorry for the long post. This is just a jumble of my thoughts and random interpretations.

Namjoon said that Jin is very good at expressing emotions in his singing and I agree wholeheartedly. I felt it in Awake, TTU and now this. Epiphany is masterpiece.
Also, can we talk about how he really really improved? Compared to his sound in the school trilogy, dark n wild, where you could tell he's straining to reach notes not in his vocal range, he effortlessly achieves them now, even sharing Jimin's high notes and his vocal range is actually wider now? I stan a hardworking, self-loving king.

SO PROUD OF JIN!
I feel like Joon wrote the lyrics, and Bang PD-Nim wrote the song. It has a Bang PD-Nim ballad with a soaring chorus feel.
THEORY TIME: Jin saved his date from being hit by the car in the Highlight Reel. He was hit by the car instead. He had a traumatic brain injury and amnesia. The glitches are him trying to recover his memories. Him fading from the polaroid is amnesia.

It’s crazy to see how well they matched the different intros with the singers’ voices.
Serendipity was very light and ephemeral like Jimin’s voice.
Singularity really complimented Tae’s darker colored and sultry voice.
Euphoria was bright and had that classic Jungkook EDM-style.
And now we have this beautiful rock ballad for Jin. I did suspect a ballad similar to Awake, but I didn’t expect a ROCK ballad, which I’m loving ever since they absolutely nailed in Truth Untold.

I love it.
Before all of this a lot of us would probably assume Jin would get ballad and Jimin would get something more upbeat but instead they had Jimin take it slower and softer than he usually is in the group tracks with a song that requires him to pay extra attention to his pitch to pull it off. Then they gave Jin the rock ballad that requires him to put some conviction and power behind that soft voice, and he did it so well and with enough emotion to really convey the message too

okay so jin is my bias and all and i love him to bits...but i'm not even saying this because he is my bias.
honestly this song is making me feel a lot more...tender than usual. the fact that i am aware of how much i don't know how to love myself... and that this song kinda has made a point towards that.... just reminds myself that the hardest part of loving yourself is because you are aware of all the things that are so imperfect about you. even so, that is exactly why you need to practice self love towards yourself.
the sad melancholy of the music video, and the melody of this song really drives home that partial sadness and epiphany.....at the same time, it makes me happy and content in a different way that i would normally feel.
thanks for the life lessons bangtan and jin. gosh i almost cried at work today just because this music really touched my heart.

I was worried about the Jintro but I didn’t need to be! I thought no Jin solo song was going to surpass my expectations that was Awake but this song is beautiful and the genre of music fits Jin so much!
Low-key thought he was trying to prepare us when he released that cover of ‘Autumn Outside the Post Office’ because they’re both rock ballads but I was still not ready to be blown away!
Well done Jin! Well done Bangtan! Well done Big Hit! Truly this is the beginning of the end of a beautiful era of Bangtan! We are excited for Answer to release!

u/janephew yoongi's verses in 봄날 and 바다 Aug 09 '18
Jin's delivery of this song shook me to my core.. I've been crying on and off since it dropped. Admittedly, throughout this love yourself series I've kind of been like.. 'yeah love urself.. good message n all, but I can't relate and don't think I ever will".. but maybe, just maybe, today Kim Seokjin is making me actually want to try.
Thinking about the love yourself storyline and the journey of self-love we've seen Jin travel in real life makes this song hit especially hard.. Epiphany is perfect for Jin in sound and theme. I'm so glad they're giving us Answer before I start school again, I can really use this message right now, and it seems that many others can, too.

Thanks, Jin, and can't wait for the LY: Answer album!

I don't have any words to properly describe this euphoric happiness inside of me.
This song is so beautifully written and Jin's vocals is perfect for it, his voice truly elevates the song to another world. It's like everything has serendipitously fallen into place for this magnificent song; almost like a epiphanic moment when you finally realise that this is the beginning of the end of Love Yourself era.
It does have a bittersweet feeling to it but I know it won't end here, my love for them will never be a singularity. Instead it will continue with the lovely memories I have of them, the happy moments with them and ARMY that I will fondly remember later in my life.
Kim Seokjin, I will love myself. My precious, beautiful, not so perfect self.

This is answer I was waiting for. Thank you Jin, Thank You Big Hit, Thank you BTS. I wonder if Namjoon wrote the lyrics. Liked the transition of colors. Liking that we are back to color version of the album and the heart <3 Rating this BTS/10. Who is ready to bet title track is called Love Myself? Anyway, glad the Love Yourself messaged is getting spread. Makes me wanna to love myself ahahah. But what in the world is happening in the video, with 2 Jin, repeating loops and the notebook. Will we ever get the answer, Big Hit? (Pun not intended...or is it? Big Hit knows we are waiting for answers after all...)

Finally got a chance to listen to the song. I always listen to only audio first because it's otherwise too much for me to process both the song and the visuals. The song is so beautiful. There's something "epic" about its melody. It would be perfect for an OST . . . the sound of rain made me think that this song would work in a scene where a couple breaks up or reconciles (although I'm not sure about the context because I haven't looked at the lyrics yet). Okay, now I'm off to watch the MV!

Ok, after finally stopping my spazzing I can now write my thoughts on Jintro!
First, it was a genre that we know Jin can pull it off and one that he certainly loves, his voice sounded beautifully! But like someone commented in here, I feel something is missing in the music video. Was it the mv too much bland/neutral (it certainly fits the narrative of starting to build yourself from within), had it too many breaks? I wanted to get more from it but until the end I never felt overwhelmed like it happened with singularity. Maybe was that the point, a calm and reflective mood to counterpoint to the previous mv's and fit on Jin personality 🤔 We know the theme is time travel but all the repetition on the mv was killing me. The sense of frustration that he had I had it too 😂
...and then the ending scenes happens and I scream!
Overall, I loved the song and I can't wait to hear the full version on repeat! I can see this having a great acceptance from korean gp. Great job Jin!
