BTS geniusly outlining the entire story of the albums with their intros; a (super long) thread
2CFS
"We are now going to progress to some steps which are a bit more difficult"- beginning their first album with this because they knew that some of these songs had content no artist had sang about in detail. Moreover they aptly tell us how these songs will be for the youth.

This intro might as well be for their entire discography because of how it exactly details their purpose of connecting to people in their youth https://open.spotify.com/track/6iLsw1px2fqrC4xc8YZM2O?si=8lTiFMCMTsWm6Vhz1r2WOg&utm_source=copy-link
O!RUL8,2?
The intro, in literal pronunciation of the album name, talks about how, if we don't realize the importance of living our own life, we will lose the dream we once began our journey with. The songs of this album explore BTS's dreams, their roots, why they do what they do.

Dark & Wild
The dedicated love BTS sang about leads way to insecurity and doubts, as Namjoon takes the intro to ask if his love will ever be reciprocated, what do I mean to you? The song, like the album, outlines the misunderstanding, loneliness that come out of one sided love.

In the previous intro, Yoongi concluded that he needs to live life the way he wants, lest he always stays trapped in others' expectations. In continuation, this intro explores exactly what obstacles come to him as he does so, and how he moves ahead from them.

The album, while exploring the effects of the parting from a toxic relation on the BTS universe's side, explores the obstacles that BTS as artists have had to face and how it effects their lives and mental health. https://open.spotify.com/track/5kKoQjyLorcc6CK6GVslx8?si=nlWoasm9RDKAgqsLNoIH_w&utm_source=copy-link
It's very hard to trace the exact relation between how the songs are put across hyyh 1 and 2; both albums are an intersection of their lives as artists and as the characters of the BTS universe so it can be hard to explain. Sorry if I'm not clear in the above tweets.
Wings
Apt to an album that explores the individual effects of separation and the fall into greed and fear for each member, boy meets evil traces an exact path to how easily they were all trapped in their worst moments and how they rose above them, what kept them going.

The era of the discovery of self love begins with a love that's so perfect that despite the fear of its existence, destiny might be jealous of how perfect our love is. This intro lays the foundation of exactly why we can't love others if we dont love ourselves first.

The entire album explores an atmosphere of newfound love with its songs like DNA and Dimple, along with some newer unexplored aspects of "love" which lead to obsession as well (pied piper) https://open.spotify.com/track/7iV733e1KacKrFRaBNxVEf?si=7J6AP1mEQI6CR6bw_5XqzA&utm_source=copy-link

Officially these are the intros we have; however Epiphany, Euphoria and Shadow - though they weren't exactly intros, they were points of inflexion in the storyline of each album - the turning points beyond which new discoveries and conclusions on the journeys are reached.
Thank you for reading !
