Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
복잡해진 마음, 숨을 내쉰다
오늘 뭐 실수는 없었었나
관객들의 표정은 어땠던가
그래도 행복해 난 이런 내가 돼서
누군가를 소리 지르게 만들 수가 있어서
채 가시지 않은 여운들을 품에 안고
아직도 더운 텅 빈 무대에 섰을 때
더운 텅 빈 무대에 섰을 때
괜한 공허함에 난 겁을 내
복잡한 감정 속에서 삶의 사선 위에서
괜시리 난 더 무딘 척을 해
처음도 아닌데 익숙해질 법한데
숨기려 해도 그게 안돼
텅 빈 무대가 식어갈 때쯤
빈 객석을 뒤로하네
지금 날 위로하네 완벽한 세상은
없다고 자신에게 말해 난
점점 날 비워가네 언제까지 내 것일
순 없어 큰 박수갈채가
이런 내게 말을 해, 뻔뻔히
니 목소릴 높여 더 멀리
영원한 관객은 없대도
난 노래할 거야
오늘의 나로 영원하고파
영원히 소년이고 싶어 난 Aah
Forever we are young
나리는 꽃잎 비 사이로
헤매어 달리는 이 미로
Forever we are young
넘어져 다치고 아파도
끝없이 달리네 꿈을 향해
Forever ever ever ever
(꿈, 희망, 전진, 전진)
Forever ever ever we are young
Forever ever ever ever
(꿈, 희망, 전진, 전진)
Forever ever ever we are young
Forever we are young
나리는 꽃잎 비 사이로
헤매어 달리는 이 미로
Forever we are young
넘어져 다치고 아파도
끝없이 달리네 꿈을 향해
Forever we are young
나리는 꽃잎 비 사이로
헤매어 달리네 이 미로
Forever we are young
넘어져 다치고 아파도
끝없이 달리네 꿈을 향해
The lyrics of “EPILOGUE: Young Forever” by BTS depict the feelings and thoughts of a performer after a successful show. The performer exhales loudly after the show, wondering if there were any mistakes, and contemplates the reactions of the audience. Despite the complexity of the emotions being felt, the performer is happy to be able to move someone with their art; even if it means holding onto lingering emotions. The words "더운 텅 빈 무대에 섰을 때 (Standing on the scorching empty stage)" suggest the struggles of an artist who hides their vulnerabilities and feelings, even though they stand on a stage in front of thousands of people. Throughout the song, we get a glimpse of the artist’s perspective on the pressures of fame and success, that as they become more successful, they lose more of themselves and their emotions become more complex.
However, the song finishes with the reassurance that it is okay to not be perfect, that no one can have a perfect life, and that it’s alright to feel empty. The lyrics “점점 날 비워가네 언제까지 내 것일 순 없어 큰 박수갈채가 이런 내게 말을 해, 뻔뻔히 니 목소릴 높여 더 멀리 (Bit by bit, I'm being emptied out there's no such thing as this being forever, in this huge round of applause, it tells me; arrogantly raise my voice louder)” encourages people to keep going even if they are feeling down or empty, to run towards their dreams, to be persistent, and to learn from their mistakes. The song ends on a positive note with the words "Forever we are young," symbolizing that there is always a hope of renewal and that we should cherish memories that keep us young and optimistic.

Kim Namjoon was first member to join BTS. His mom opposed him joining BTS because she wanted him to study well. He used to work so hard with the productions yet his mom would break his computers and mics so that he would concentrate on his studies.
Kim Seokjin , who joined because of his visuals, got criticized that he had no talent in singing but he proved all of them wrong. He wanted to make his mom proud and wanted his mom to have something to brag about her son to their judgmental neighbors.
Min Yoongi , whose parents didn't support him well in his music career, had to manage his life on his own. If he had to take the bus, he didn't have money to eat. If he spent it on food, he couldn't take the bus. But now, he's earning millions.
Jung Hoseok had earlier auditioned in JYP but was not accepted in the later half. Being a street dancer and having so much talent, he almost gave up and wanted to leave BTS but his members apposed him in that and he definitely didn't let them down. Yet, he was judged because of his visuals. He auditioned because he wanted his father to be proud of him.
Park Jimin , who had to starve himself only because people called him 'fat'. He came all the way from Busan to persuade his dreams and used to practice so much that once he slept for only 3 hours. That is what has made him perfect today.
Kim Taehyung lived with his grandmother for 15 years to support her in her farm. He had always been a part of BTS but was never shown in any promotion-not until they debut. Taehyung said he used to practice filming log so that when he's finally announced as a member he can do a lot of for his fans.
Jeon Jungkook came to Seoul from Busan in a very young age persuade his dream. He even traveled all the way to America to learn dancing. Once Jimin caught him crying alone and when Jimin asked why, Jungkook said that he misses his family.
BTS , they might be global legends today but they had their own hardships too. So please stop calling them overrated and learn to respect them. They deserve what they're getting today.

There is something I don't understand ... If you're a real fan of BTS, I don't understand why people forget to watch this masterpiece. For the beauty of the song, for the beauty of the MV, this video deserves so much more views.
EDIT :
When I said that a year ago, I was thinking more of the following fact: why do people prefer to stream their biggest hit songs rather than the neglected ones?
In the comment section, I was called a dumb because I said that, but it wasn't mean at all on my part. Nor was it a reproach I made, just a fact that I noted.
Sure, I know there is the version of 1theK, but even with it, the "Young Forever" MV is ultimately not at all popular. I was just wondering why, because I still find it curious. No need to throw stones at me, and to insult me for free.
I obviously understand that this is a song that transmits a lot of emotions, and that it is not necessarily easy to listen to.
In any case, I simply regret that this MV is not better known in the videography of Bangtan, and finally, I just purple every single ARMY who will read this message with hindsight and kindness, as they are with BTS themselves.
Take care of yourselves guys ! Saranghae !
