The love-hate relationship he has with Seoul spoke volumes to me personally tbh. I'm born, raised and still living in the city I'm in (the capital of the country as well) and I feel attached and detached to it all at the same time. Like I feel like everything's too much but I can't make myself leave this city because I'd feel even more lost otherwise. Minus the finer details of the song (the fish smell in Chunggyecheon, etc.), this is basically my whole relationship with my homecity.
Also I'm so sorry for the rant/random thought vomit omg this song really just hit me hard akdsksajsg
I had looked up the lyrics already, but the video really adds another layer to it. You can feel the posotives and negatives espoused in the song. This is kind of a better attraction video for the city than the group's official ones lol
Since it's not translated in the video, when Namjoon takes the call, this is what he says
3.30: Hello? Yeah, Iām at the Han River, but Iām leaving now. // Yeah.

just when I decide that visiting Seoul could actually be affordable (Ibis hotel, here I come. Even cheaper than a bullet hotel, pay attention Tokyo), this happens
for me this song had the best production and mixing. the instrumentals in the chorus is just, everything.
and those lyrics, especially 'it's a nice place to live if you're rich' lol, tell me about it! i think this phrase could be applied to a lot of cities these days.
