Carl Jung and his Map of the Soul
BTS’s MOTS series is said to directly reference Carl Jung’s analytic psychology. BTS has done so following Dr. Murray Stein’s collation of Jung’s work in his book Jung’s Map Of The Soul, which was non-coincidentally sold on Big Hit’s website for a while.
Jung was actually somewhat of a disciple and friend of Freud — at least for a while. The pair even toured together teaching psychoanalysis (a voyage the American Psychological Association refers to as “the most famous conference in the history of American psychology.”) However, Freud's interest in theories around sex and Jung’s interest in alternate sciences — such as religion and myth, which he referred to as “the collective unconsciousness” — ultimately (and vastly) differentiated their work and contributed to the end of their rapport.
In Jungian psychology, there are four major archetypes or divisions to one’s self: the persona, the shadow, the anima and animus, and the self or ego. Apart from the anima, BTS seems to be referencing Jung’s archetypes in their comeback trailers. Jung, if our persona is the conscious way in which we present ourselves to the world, our shadow represents qualities present in our unconscious that we choose to suppress. The ego would be full interaction and realization of all archetypes.
In order to come to terms with one’s self, Jung highlights a process he calls the “realization of the shadow” as “the growing awareness of the inferior part of the personality, which should not be twisted into an intellectual activity, for it has far more the meaning of a suffering and a passion that implicate the whole man.” He continues saying, “The ‘man without a shadow’ is statistically the commonest human type, one who imagines he actually is only what he cares to know about himself.”
Apart from the very titles equating to each archetype (and the looming concept of “hero”) BTS has referenced Jung directly a couple of times. The blackboard on “Intro: Persona” also contains a few of Jung’s quotes and they are explicitly credited. Apart from the quote RM recites in the video, the blackboard also displays another of Jung’s cites reading, “I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become.”
The words “love,” dreams” and “happiness” also appear multiple times on the blackboard. Thematically, these could potentially be matched to each of the comeback’s trailers. “Love” is a recurring theme in “Persona” (and perhaps more obviously in its corresponding title track, “Boy with Luv”) while, in “Shadow,” Suga grapples with the juxtaposing realities of following one's dreams.
