Today, BTS fans are celebrating the second anniversary of RM‘s second mixtape, mono. mono‘s seven songs (“tokyo”, “seoul”, “moonchild”, “badbye”, “uhgood”, “everythinggoes”, and “forever rain”) have left a deep impression on listeners around the world.
Although mono was released in 2018, it’s the music we need during 2020’s trying times. Here are 10 reasons why.
1. mono is a reminder that we are all in this together.
“mono. is a gentle but firm reminder that it is okay to feel, to venture out and wander uselessly before coming back home. A reminder that we are not alone in what we feel – isolation, happiness, abandonment, internal conflict – is what truly makes us human.”#2YearsWithMono pic.twitter.com/6gUZbyxMGX

2. It assures us that the hardships we face today will pass by; “everything goes”.
mono is like a warm hug on a cold day, a good laugh in sad times, or a soft cry in frustrating ones, mono is like a hint of rain in a drought or the gush of wind in a field, mono is everything pleasant i know, it's namjoon's hand extended towards me, telling me everythingoes.

3. It’s the friend who stays by your side when you need it most.
in a world where people only say things like “everything’s gonna be okay” or “it’ll get better soon”, mono is that one friend who just sits with you and says “me too”

7. It’s a comforting voice telling you that everything will be okay.

8. It’s a story that takes us on our own personal journeys.
to me, mono is like a book. every track is it’s own chapter, with its own story & meaning. it’s such a complex yet simplistic piece of art & i can’t thank namjoon enough for letting us in on such a personal journey. his vulnerability & mind never fails to leave me in awe.
