[𝐴𝑠ℎ⁷ 🪭 @kthnoir7]

In this mv, Members showed them reflecting on the years they spent separated from their real world, while asking whether the cycle that shaped them is a prison or a home.
I thought it in 3 parts.

1. The literal layer: military service
The endless corridors, identical rooms, flickering lights, repetitive movement, monochrome palette, and the carousel all mirror military life.
A merry-go-round moves constantly but never truly goes anywhere.
You wake up. Repeat the routine. Another day passes. Repeat.
The ride keeps moving, but you have no control over its speed or direction.
This is why the military imagery and carousel imagery feel fused together.

2. The psychological layer: each member confronting his own "shadow"
This is where the Jungian theory and Fake Love connections become important.
The rooms don't feel like physical locations.
They feel like internal spaces.
RM → awake room, insomnia, endless thinking.
Jimin → chasing the carousel/old memories.
Yoongi → storm, flying papers shows chaos, public scrutiny.
Jin → crossing the corridors while darkness follows him as if He's trying to get rid of smtg (pain/past self or pathetic memory) but it keeps following him. Cause The black liquid is probably not a monster.
It resembles what Jung calls the shadow: fear, guilt, loneliness, grief, exhaustion,entment.
You can leave the room.
But the shadow follows.
Notice how it never truly defeats them.
It simply exists.
That's a very BTS message.
Not "we conquered pain."
More:
★We carried it with us and kept moving.

3. The meta layer: BTS's entire career as a loop. This is where HYYH, Spring Day, YNWA, Fake Love, Monochrome, Proof, and even the solo era connect.
The carousel isn't just military service.
It's BTS itself.
A cycle of:
★debut
★growth
★success
★sacrifice
★separation
★reunion
★new beginning
over and over.
The spaceship, infinity imagery, doors, corridors, alternate rooms, and references to past eras suggest BTS are traveling through their own history.
Not escaping it.
Revisiting it.

BTS constantly open doors themselves.
Throughout their career:
HYYH
Wings
Love Yourself
Map of the Soul
Proof
now Merry Go Round
doors appear whenever a new chapter begins.
The message seems consistent:
★Nobody opened these doors for us. We walked through them ourselves.
In Merry Go Round, the doors feel like eras, memories, and possible futures.
Each room contains a different version of BTS.
Jin and Taehyung
This is the most interesting part.
If viewed through HYYH:
Taehyung is often the first to sense something is wrong.
Jin is the one burdened with correcting the timeline.
In Merry Go Round, it almost feels like a passing of responsibility.
Taehyung disappears as Jin arrives.
Not because they're enemies.
Because their roles are changing.
Almost like:
"I've been holding this place while you were gone. Now you're back."
Considering Jin was the first member discharged, this reading works both symbolically and emotionally.

Why Jimin follows the carousel?
Not because he's trapped.
Because he's afraid of losing what the carousel represents.
The carousel is:
BTS
youth
memories
togetherness
He isn't chasing a ride.
He's chasing a promise.
The same promise from Spring Day:
No matter how long winter lasts, we'll meet again.
The actual ending
This is where I disagree with the "they escaped the loop" theory.
I don't think they escaped.
I don't think they wanted to.
The final message feels closer to:
★We discovered that the loop itself wasn't the enemy.
The military years ended.
The loneliness ended.
The waiting ended.
But BTS will always be riding another merry-go-round:
new albums, new eras, new challenges, new universes.
The difference is that now they're riding it together again.
That's why the MV feels strangely hopeful despite all the darkness.
The ending doesn't say:
"The ride stopped."
It says:
"We're all back on it now."
& for BTS, that is home.

The historical symbolism of horses in the "Merry Go Round" MV and how it reflects BTS's military service. 🧵

[💜Just Me⁷Just AB Just Arirang ⊙⊝⊜💜 @A2theB2theWat]

@y00ngipurrs I thought this too. The horse that is projected that Jimin and Jin see and Hobi's room where the horses roam freely. In the animation the horses also run out of the merry go round. They are the ones who spin infinitely, entertaining as others get on and off. Not an easy life

[⊙⊝⊜ @ameviil]

merry go round and film out mvs might be connected

in the merry go round mv the members come back through "doors" and sit on their chairs and start talking but the place looks old and abandoned for a long time. the "film out" mv was actually a music video filmed with the thought that bts would enlist in 2020 and there the members seokjin was controlling the "doors" but their house was colorful 7 members came out of 7 different doors discovered things but the house aged during this process but despite this because they were together again they returned to that house and they will revive that house again and “they never walk alone"

the way i’m at kavalan distillery and the tour guide just out of nowhere goes “Before your tasting begins, everyone should know RM of BTS loves our olorosso sherry cask whisky.”

[𓍯⁷ @teeheehyung]

The military quarters is the top canopy to represent they are in a loop of commitment & active duty that they cannot get out of.

The only room with the lights on is RM's. Insomnia. Overthinking.

This perfectly mirrors the rigid structure of military life: waking up at the exact same hour, executing the same drills, and following orders without question day after day. they ‘do their best’ to excel in their duties, but they have no control over the speed of the ride
