BTS' Kim Namjoon captured dynamic emotions through his versatile acting in the music video for Come Back To Me

In the music video for Come Back To Me, BTS' Kim Namjoon was initially spotted at a party having drinks with his friends. Subsequently, RM crossed several dimensions through the door, where he found himself in different situations, experiencing dynamic relationships and emotions.

At first, he lived as the breadwinner of a family where his wife and daughter were brushing together. RM felt unhappy with them. The scene changed, showcasing him fighting with his lover, who kept shouting at him till he ran away.

At the same time, he was also being chased by another girl. In the next scene, RM was seen as a child being pampered by his parents. However, throughout experiencing dynamic relationships, he was depicted as confused and stressed.

Subsequently, Kim Namjooon faced another person who looked exactly like him and was in the same situation. Soon, his older version transformed into an unknown lady who giggled with him and talked.

RM found himself in a similar situation where he was a breadwinner of a family, a lover, and a child again. However, in this dimension, he found his real self and was spotted smiling in each relationship.

As Kim Namjoon returned to reality, experiencing the dimensions in two different moods of life; confusion and happiness, a lady beckoned him, and he exited the dimension through the last door. As Namjoon and the lady exited, there was a maze that provided an aerial view of the different homes without roofs that RM seemingly lived throughout the music video.

Through Come Back To Me, Kim Namjoon crossed different dimensions, which made him live in alternate realities, showcasing the contradiction between reality and imagination.

The rapper succeeded in showcasing his versatility as an actor and artist. RM's voice was accompanied by guitar riffs, whistles, and band sounds.

“It is especially impressive to see RM, who has returned to reality, open the final door and leave the maze-like set with a firm determination to do something. Like this, the video ends by foreshadowing RM moving on to the next, even more expanded chapter."

Without any spoken words, Kim Namjoon delivered a cinematic delight to netizens who came up with different theories about the Come Back To Me music video. They complimented RM's incredible writing skills and genius mind, which made the music video thought-provoking.
