I might be over-analyzing things but hey… Okay, first of all, we can see that it opens up with Jiyong in a throne with his ever lasting long hair.

This reminds us of Rapunzel, right? The long haired princess who got confined at the top of the tower because of the evil witch. Well, in this case Jiyong got confined in his ‘cell’ for too long that his hair grew. The evil witch is probably the haters who attacked GD after his ‘incident’. Now, these are the people who attacked Big Bang… See the sign of the people with the masks and the no symbol on these army’s shileds? Some say they represent VIPs, but I think these represents Big Bang themselves- remember on their concept photos they had oxygen masks? It may not be the oxygen masks but that’s because it is the gas masks- the ones used during the war that prevented the soldiers from inhaling gas that could cause death. Now, there are three signs on the shields that says “Stop Music” and “Stop Singing” and the other one at the back that says “Stop Dancing”. These are from the people who doubted Big Bang after the ‘incidents’ happened- they believed BB will disband as they’re on the verge of the 5 year curse. Now this part comes in… This is the point where it shows how Taeyang melts after being frozen for a long time which suggests that the ice around Big Bang- the one that kept them still and unable to move- is slowly melting. A sign of them becoming alive. From this scene, the army wearing black suits are the people who attacked Big Bang whereas the army wearing the white suits represents the VIPs. This scene shows us how the VIPs fought those who has hated/ attacked Big Bang by trying to take down the barrier that prevents them from getting closer to the ‘anti-big bang’ army. This scene just probably suggests that all these happened around Jiyong, the King. VIPs around the world defended Big Bang with all they can. They fought Big Bang’s fight. This is a hard-fought battle requiring great physical and/or mental effort to accomplish and endure. Now, this scene with Daesung… After I saw this scene, Daesung being chained on the wall, I immediately thought of time where he talked about how he locked himself on his room without eating, sleeping, or talking to anybody after the ‘incident’ happened. This scene represents it because no matter how hard he tries to free himself from the chains, he’s stopping himself from doing so just like how he stayed in his bedroom in their dorm despite how much he wanted someone to come and comfrot him.

This scene really intrigues me. See the scratch marks on Seungri’s body? It looks horrible doesn’t it? It looks fresh and deep which means that it’ll probably cause a scar. This implies to the fact the after math of the ‘incident’- how everybody went against them except for those who stayed loyal towards them- will cause a scar on them despite how much they try and forget it or how much they try and move on. They will never forget the hardships and days of pains they struggled ot overcome. Those cat women around him probably represent those who scarred them. No matter how the wounds had already healed, they will always be there around them to make a brand new scar.

I love this scene so much. It shows how the VIPs, the people with the white masks, caught Daesung when he fell. Daesung (and probably the rest of the BB members) was afraid to fall at first but they saw how VIPs reassured him that we’ll be there to catch him so he jumped and fell but as promised, we caught him. We supported him and brought him the strength that he needed. We helped him and Big Bang through all the tough times.

This scene just shows how Big Bang managed to overcome all the struggles with the hep of thos people around them who never lost faith and loyalty towards them. The people with the white masks are also there with them which probably just means that they’re united as one with Big Bang and together they’re strong. VIPs + Big Bang= one big and strong army no one can bring down.

NOW, THE KINGS ARE BACK IN THEIR RIGHTFUL THRONE WITHOUT ANY HINDRANCE AFTER THE HARD-FOUGHT BATTLE!

Top 10 Biggest Brain Damaging Habits

1. No Breakfast

People who do not take breakfast are going to have a lower blood sugar level.This leads to an insufficient supply of nutrients to the brain causing brain degeneration.

2. Overreacting

It causes hardening of the brain arteries, leading to a decrease in mental power.

3. Smoking

It causes multiple brain shrinkage and may lead to Alzheimer disease.

4. High Sugar consumption

Too much sugar will interrupt the absorption of proteins and nutrients causing malnutrition and may interfere with brain development.       

5. Air Pollution

The brain is the largest oxygen consumer in our body. Inhaling polluted air decreases the supply of oxygen to the brain, bringing about a decrease in brain efficiency.

6. Sleep Deprivation

Sleep allows our brain to rest. Long term deprivation from sleep will accelerate the death of brain

7. Head covered while sleeping

Sleeping with the head covered, increases the concentration of carbon dioxide and decrease concentration of oxygen that may lead to brain damaging effects.

Working hard or studying with sickness may lead to a decrease in effectiveness of the brain as well as damage the brain.            

9. Talking Rarely

Intellectual conversations will promote the efficiency of the brain.
