WINGS #7, AWAKE- Theory and Hidden Secrets

The Theory: Jin is the cause of everything. [Oh, yeah, blame everything on Jin.]

Theme: Leaving everything behind, admitting defeat, acceptance. [AKA THE ULTIMATE LETTING GO SESSION. Jin is on to Elsa. He IS a princess, maybe he can upgrade to queen/empress.]

[0:00] Theory Number 7, here we come. We don't know whether to thank you or sue you for pushing our homework back another 6 hours. [We had to break something to calm ourselves down before starting this, so we don't end up smashing our laptops. Stress eating was a nightmare and a pleasant dream.] Now, fam. [Trying to be hip with the kids, attempt #1][We are kids. -.-] We know that this theory is very long, but please read till the end for the JUICY PACKED PUNCH. [wtf.] If you wanna skip to the end, go ahead. Don't forget to like doe. Jk, it just won't make as much sense.

[0:08] You guys know the drill, another quote from Demian: The Story of Emil Sinclair's Youth: "The bird fights its way out of the egg. The egg is the world. Who would be born must first destroy a world. The bird flies to God. That God's name... is... Abraxas." Thank you Rap Mon for that delightful quote. [AND HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!] So, as we know, birds and 'freedom/rebirth' has appeared several times in these theories. And Abraxas has appeared before as well. In the novel, Abraxas is symbolized as a bird, or more specifically, a bird breaking out of a globe/egg. Haha, guess what? Globe and world are related! Whattt, I know, right? [Sarcasm intended.] Also, Abraxas symbolizes the interdependence of all the good and bad of the world. Therefore, one must realize this, or break out of an egg in other words, in order to see the good and evil in the world. By breaking out of an egg, or 'destroying a world', one can grow up. See, from that one quote, we already touched on things that have been said before. That was easy. [Not sponsored by Staples.]

[0:34] As expected, we see our beautiful princess Jin rocking that gray hair. [Don't worry Jin, you're not THAT old. You have no wrinkles.] He sits in front of an apple, a bunch of utensils, chinaware, a vase, some candles on a candlestick and a bottle or something filled with red stuff . Right off the bat, we can identify two things that we have seen before. The apple is an obvious relation to Jimin and his crazy apple eating skills and the vase filled with lilies are from the 'I Need U' MV with Jin. [The vase isn't there, but there were lily petals featured with Jin.] And that music though. It's uncomfortably relaxing, especially because we know that this video is going to be confusing and depressing AF. [Thanks BigHit.] Earlier, A.K.A less than a minute ago, we mentioned something red in a bottle. If you didn't know, that red stuff? Yeah, those are pills. In Rap Monster's teaser theory we had a little paragraph talking about their "2015 BTS LIVE TRILOGY: EPISODE I. BTS BEGINS" photoshoot where, Jungkook had almost the same tattoo as Rap Monster. In the same photoshoot a Jin posed for a photo where he was holding a red pill near his mouth and holding a whole glass filled with red pills.

[0:39] There seems to be a buzzing noise coming from Jin's earphone, or whatever that is. [Like we said, Jin ain't old, he doesn't need a hearing aid yet.] Jin takes out the earbud, and the buzzing stopped. The buzzing sounds like something when you get bad reception of something, so it could mean that his ties with the other members isn't exactly the best, even though there is still minimal contact. Once he took it out, the connection is gone, like he gave up. Once again from their "2015 BTS LIVE TRILOGY: EPISODE I. BTS BEGINS" photoshoot, Jin posed for a picture having one of these earpieces in his ear and also holding the glass of red pills.

[0:48] Jin the apple inspector, huh? Can't expect anything less from a chef, amarite? But seriously, while Jimin ate the apple, [which was a representation of killing himself aka a new beginning,] Jin just drops it. [Poor apple. Jin knows not to treat food that way.] Does he not want a new beginning? Does he know a rebirth that it has no benefit for him?
