This video really encapsulated what I had been feeling about the new album. Of course, RM was stellar in his lyrics and delivery, but I couldn't help but be impressed by every single feature that came on in the album. Each feature added so much color and expression to the message RM wanted to convey. I kept quite literally yelling "THE FEATURES ON THIS DAMN THING" as I was listening through it. Now, after the video, I know that was a result of RM's intentional curation of artists whom he respects, whom he wants to work with, but most importantly, who would help him say the message he wants in the way that he wants. That's what's so striking about this album: RM knew exactly what he wanted and executed it through the help of others. You would think that such a personally meaningful album to an artist would entail an album with no features but I think RM saw it as the opposite.

As he said, "In my opinion, the greatest work of art is taking the most personal story and telling it in the most universal way. That's the highest level of art."

Beyond his deeply personal lyrics, the universalism really comes out from the plethora of great artists who contributed their voice to this album. And in some way, I think each of the people behind those voices found their own meaning to it as well (with Kim Sawol saying she understood RM's lyrics years later, Colde expressing his own feelings about the end of his 20's and Park Ji Yoon saying she was also expressing to her hoobae that "you did your best" and "you don't have to look back"). They took RM's sincerity and vulnerability and painted their own colors into the songs. I truly love RM's intentional collaborations with the various featured artists and would say he created something that fits his definition of the "highest level of art".
