What To Expect From ‘ We Are Bulletproof’ Album?
BTS’ music always has been a part of serious discussion as their music holds lots of matters that are otherwise not talked about. Suga once mentioned that their songs reflect a hundred percent of their personalities. Now, when the date of the new album has been announced, ARMYs has gotten into work mode as they try to find out what the album may offer by making theories. The theories are not just bluff as they are backed up by previous musical relevance and other observations.
The ‘We And Me’ Theory
After the teaser for the album got released the fandom has been quite busy, making theories out of it. Every album of BTS follows a specific storyline that requires an in-depth understanding. As a result, Twitter has been flooded with many theories, however specifically one theory became quite popular. It’s the ‘We And Me’ theory.
The album has been named We Are Bulletproof, and according to the theories if the ‘We’ is rotated then it becomes ‘Me’. It immediately takes us back in time during the Fake Love era when it was written ‘I’m Fine’ and when rotated it became ‘ Save Me’. Epic right? Just like it happened with Boy In Luv and Boy With Luv, N.O and ON.
It seems the members have been giving us hints regarding the album for quite some time. In RM’s Instagram post one can witness, how he has mentioned ‘Me’ and ‘We’.
We Are Bulletproof= We Are Bangtan
Now, the full form of BTS in Korean is Bangtan Sonyeondan which in English means Bulletproof Boy Scouts. Once J- Hope mentioned that the name holds a special meaning to it as it wishes to block stereotypes and criticisms that get pointed toward the youth like bullets. Fans think that the new album can mean that Bangtan is bulletproof.
The boys once mentioned they were afraid that they would lose ARMYs during the long pandemic, however, they have always shown their love for the fandom and now when they are holding concerts, the first thing they said is ‘ We Are Bulletproof’. A line from Bulletproof: Eternal does cross our mind-
‘ We Were Only Seven
But We Have You All Now’.
It’s been 9 years since the boys debuted, a lot of emotions work together as they have paved a long way. Starting as nobody to being legends, the journey though beautiful had its ups and downs. We may get to witness all of that in the album. Though why it’s in black and white is still a mystery that needs to be unveiled.
The Theory Of The Logo
The logo in the teaser of the new album is not only a single one but an amalgamation of many. At one point it feels like a mirror image. Some ARMYs have picked up a very interesting theory which states that one logo is like an open book and when its pages are flipped like the new logo, it makes us remember the past days of BTS and finally lands into the present they are in.
Well, this is not where it ends as some ARMYs have noticed that in the new logo, there are a total of nine reflections. The number may be significant as this will be the 9th anniversary of BTS and the black and white tone might have a reference to their debut times. The teaser also provides an insight into it as it started off by showing just debuted BTS and ended with them performing Butter. That’s some serious brainstorming theory right there.
Whatever BTS may bring to the table we all know that it’s going to be amazing as they are the best at what they do. Holding the anticipation, we will just wait for yet another series of records to be broken and formed.
