Park explains that “Mono” is a highly autobiographical body of work, and the evidence lies in the very first song of the mixtape. The track is named “Tokyo,” and its first line says, “Wake up in Tokyo, feel like a torso, I know it’s time to go.” In the previous 4 years, followers have give you many interpretations for this line, however most of them targeted on the that means of the phrase “Feel like a torso.”
Park, nonetheless, explains that the primary few phrases, “Wake up in Tokyo,” carry extra significance right here. “Wake Up: Open Your Eyes” was the title of BTS’s first-ever tour in Japan in 2015.
In a method, that is the place all of it started. Back in 2015, when the Japan tour occurred, they weren’t very well-known, they had been fairly new. They might’ve simply disbanded, failed, like so many others. And that’s the factor about this album, much more than his different works. It’s a really private one, I really feel.
