taehyung

• bottles
  • most of taehyung's solo scenes involve bottles. in the beginning he is seen sitting next to them and walking away from them. (x).
  • i believe that bottles are a symbol of anger and violence (and abuse). so he hates the sight of them. he even takes his anger out on a red bull can, which looks like a beer can. where he hits and spits at it. x
  • it is symbolic because tae also uses a bottle to attack his father. x

jungkook
