BTS “Spring Day” and Sewol Ferry Tragedy
Here are some connections I found between the “Spring Day” MV and the Sewol Ferry Tragedy. Never forget 0416.
1. Perhaps the most distinct tribute to the tragedy takes place in the carousel scene.
The color yellow has been used by the Korean general public to symbolize the Sewol Ferry Tragedy.
In the MV, the yellow ribbon are seen tied around the carousel, similar to the yellow ties used by the victims’ families to grieve their loss.
2. In addition, Jungkook seems to be the “main character” of Spring Day. He is the only one standing still in the scene above, while the rest of the members are moving around. Ever wondered why?
Out of the 300+ victims, over 250 were high school students. Kids on their middle school graduation trip to Jeju Island. ‘97ers.
3. Jimin picks up sneakers from the sea.
They could be anyone’s shoes. However, in Korea, most schools require students to change into specific indoor sneakers when inside the building. White, rubber soled shoes to be exact.
4. Lastly, the thumbnail.
It’s a beautiful still frame of Jin. What correlation could it possibly have with the Sewol Ferry Tragedy? I’ll let the pictures do the talking.
Take a look at the time stamp from the MV. 304.
As the the 3rd anniversary of the Sewol Ferry Tragedy is nearing, I can’t help but mourn the loss of 304 innocent civilians. As a Korean and as a human being, I will never forget April 16th. In 2014, my family donated money and joined the protestors in the streets of South Korea after the travesty, but there is still so much left to do. Justice has not yet been served and unfortunately, may never be served for the corrupt handful that ruined hundreds of lives. I hope the victims of this tragedy rest peacefully, and I hope the victims’ families have found some source of solace, some glimmer of hope, in the dark, endless tunnel. Lastly, I am proud of BigHit and Bangtan for refusing to cower behind the corruption of those in power. Dream, hope, forward, forward. #Remember0416
