Bangtan Universe retrieves storyline with Seokjin as time traveler

In the Bangtan Universe storyline, Jin is the time traveler who tries to constantly switch between different timelines in an effort to save the members from their evident endings. Like in 'Fake Love', Jin here faces a dead end too, stuck in a frame while the world explodes, reflecting one more failed attempt.

This melancholic sentimental ballad is also getting the praise for showing top-tier BTS vocals with harmonization to die for. Shedding light on the storyline, a fan said, "In BU, Taehyung tries to help Seokjin several times but Seokjin refuses to accept help thinking he can solve the loops alone.. this looks like another one of those moments. Seokjin disappears from the frame once again for another loop."

Fans have taken to social media to praise the MV and speak of what it made them feel. A fan shared, "The film out is so sad. It's like trying to reach for someone that's already long gone and they only live in your memory now!"

Another ARMY member posted, "Kim Taehyung's vocals are just so heart wrenchingly beautiful, the emotion he carries in his voice, the way it just pulls you in, his voice sounds like home. #FilmOutNow!"

One fan noted, "I just noticed that from fake love and film out it’s always seokjin and jungkook are they the one who destined to meet but then they are in different world/time? and u notice in fake love jk is the one who running while in film out it’s seokjin."
