the woman on the boat represents us. bts are not physically there. it's a metaphor, and their way of telling us that they're accompanying us in the journey of life. through our hardships and our pains, they'll be here. they could spend a lifetime watching us. #SWIM
Iโm always thankful for Namjoon because he understands our collective generational experience even when our culture, language, religion is so different. That to me is why heโs such an integral part of what BTS stands for and how it brings together so many people around the world

T/N: The article is an op-ed in The Joongang Daily by Heo Jiwon, a psychology professor from Korea University. Titled "Don't be fooled by the brains of today", the article talks about how difficult it is to be happy. Our brains, as they exist today, were not designed to be happy, they evolved to always look for danger. For 700 years, the human brain has been constantly anxious, in order to survive. That's why, if we want to be happy, we have to come up with our own more sophisticated strategies.
The author recommends two: to savour every moment and to search for enjoyment. She asks the reader to savour every little thing - a bit of warmth on your face, nice weather, the kindness of another person. While it may be difficult and seem excessive, it is important to find joy in every moment because if we don't, we start to see our lives very negatively, and that makes it harder to keep on living.
