With Lights, we are beginning the progression from the Persona/exterior that the world sees (represented by the theater building's facade in Boy With Luv) to the interior, which we see first in shadow/darkness.
Who's excited for this journey? I know I am!!!! @BTS_twt #Lights pic.twitter.com/mtoBmGqn0u

And there’s no shortage of theories for why that might be, including many fans thinking that Suga may be next up to take the intro for the group’s upcoming album.
Continuing BTS’s “Map of the Soul” series, a popular theory is that their next release will be titled “Map of the Soul: Shadow.”
Yoongi isn't in this circle of #Lights because he is the intro for "Shadow". ? @BTS_twt pic.twitter.com/mAMsjYXC3g

Okay everyone is thinking yoongi is the light because he’s not with the boys but what if this video is in yoongi’s perspective and he’s showing us the light of his life and it’s BTS …??#Lights pic.twitter.com/QlWW5oSh6O

Yoongi isn't laying on the ground with them, because he's watching a projection of them. #Lights pic.twitter.com/yrkOjpjkRm

as carl jung said "to confront a person with his own shadow is to show him his own light” …was that the reason why yoongi was not part of the ot7 circle? he had dark life in hyyh storyline. so bangtan is helping him to find his own light to get out of the dark? #Lights pic.twitter.com/LH6Tv5ufJI

Many ARMY have considered further links between the MV teaser and the “BTS Universe.”
-afraid to jump. And here, remember J-hope went to stop Taehyung from being murderer and leaved Jimin behind. I think this scene looks like, because Jungkook already knows and the cycle has broken, he sees Jungkook on his way. Because he can jump between universes now. pic.twitter.com/lQlJk8klWR

Also, I realized they’re always running, but we don’t know where or why. Maybe it’s something instinctive. They’re trying to run away from that cycle. pic.twitter.com/UvAYGkwH1T

It's perhaps a bit of a stretch, but the color palette of the #Lights MV teaser reminds me a bit of a color combo we've seen plenty of times before in the BTS cinematic universe. pic.twitter.com/xHPBZaVNxo
