Illecebra makes sense because this entire performance of Filter portrayed him to be enticing; someone you can't help but look at. However, he used arcane because what the performance meant, and what he wanted to portray through the song, is something that will require + https://twitter.com/BTS_twt/status/1315279865084477442
+ you to look deep within yourself and understand each line of the song. A lot of people pick up the catchy tune, the attractive, confident style and the gorgeous outfits and think that that's all it is.. but at the end it's just a "filter" that blurs behind his true self +

We can each pick up our own interpretations which comfort us, for example, many have geniously pointed out how he went again gender normativity with his performance, which stems from his line in the song, "you'll be wanting only me, because you're the one who made me"
So here the word illecebra makes sense too, jimin entices us because he can portray so many things to us. Some of us use him for comfort, some of us consider him a fashion icon, some people simply see him as the other half of their fave BTS ship.. and what not.
"to see more thrilling things, pick your filter", he wants us to look beyond it all and explore the various things his existence can mean to us. He's calling out the narrow minded people, the haters and the media, to recognize his existence as more than the filter they use before
Interpreting his presence
The Outro and the final chorus are especially outstanding, because he says, this is it. The final filter you can use on me is this song, and if you understand what I am trying to tell you, you and I, together, will be able to see the world in a more diverse and positive way
The song itself is a Filter jimin wants us to use, so that we can finally see how beautifully moulded his being is, from his experiences and his life as a trainee and an idol. If you understand this, you'll have a broader view of Park Jimin, the soul, not Park Jimin of BTS.
This song really sets jimin apart, and I think it's his best work. Thankfully, by getting a stage, we were able to understand it in a better way instead of just seeing the overlay of the possibility of sexy clothes and a sexy choreo, you know?
Moral of the song is: at the end of the day, each human is an interpretation of an another, and the filters we use to look at a person, could define the way we look at life as a whole. For someone I am a nice person, for someone I am annoying. If you look at me with a +
Preconceived notion or a "filter", you'll either love me, or hate me. Sometimes a filter stops us from seeing the faults of a human, sometimes a filter makes us toxic and obsessive because that certain mindset protects our existing but negative belief.
