I'm sorry --- is this THE 'grey scale video'?
(the video that Jungkook referenced as what he watched that made him choose Big Hit)
This video was filmed in 2010, written by RM and produced by him and Pdogg, to be a promotional video to attract more recruits to audition for Big Hit. It was one of two songs RM wrote for that purpose. (I have no idea why the end of the video cuts to just lyrics, but oh well.)
READ THOSE LYRICS. If you were a 13 year old boy, kind of aimless but wishing you had some type of passion, those lyrics would be a siren's song. 13 year old me would have followed Namjoon anywhere too after hearing this song.
In my imagination - this is now officially the video that made Jungkook decide to follow RM.
Also -- 15 year old RM is very cool. Mad respect for writing this song at that age.
And I love that Big Hit used RM's own words (no one else is credited at all on those lyrics) to recruit people. They didn't try to fancy it up at all -- they were really out there putting all their money on proving that they wanted people who could tell their own story. And I am HERE for it.
