the video above works, but it is uploaded as a reel so you have to watch it in the app.

What I take from this video:
- his mother was absent from his childhood and since his father visited him I assume he lived with his father’s parents;
- due to the lies that have been uncovered, going from his parents being poor farmers to actually at least moderately wealthy with his father owning a clothing store, there is a big question as to why his parents would give him up for no apparent reason;
- both his father and his grandparents have set him up to be a failure.
For one, Taehyung was never good in school, not even as a child, and instead of being pushed as any other child, his grandparents, or grandmother didn’t properly raised him, but treated him more like grandparents due when grandchildren visit them, much to the dismay of a normal parent - letting him do whatever he wanted, let him eat whatever and as much he wanted, telling him school doesn’t matter (??). As a grandparent, if you take the role of raising your grandchildren, then you have to do it properly, otherwise it’s bad for him/her.
He was raised with the notion that in life working for something isn’t a necessity.
Which is why he failed at everything he tried - from school, to saxophone, singing, music school, piano, violin, painting or any other thing he begins to learn. Because he expects to do things without work.
When he then entered an environment with some work/training, his reaction was to quit because it’s hard, but “hard” for him meaning his life wasn’t just about playing anymore.
One has to take this into count. He went from having spent 15 years of his life playing around and not doing much else to suddenly having to do something. That’s not “hard”. That’s normal.
His father, instead of scolding or at least teach him to not give up that easily, told him that if he wants to quit, he should quit. He will always “support and cheer” him up “no matter” which way he goes.
This quote+plus his absence+the grandmother “raising” him in a way comfortable for her and damaging for him, is the ground that caused him to have this pathological need for attention and “love”. Expecting everyone to“support and cheer” him up no matter what, this situation being worsen by the fact that he lives his fan’s obsessive behavior through this quote, has now arenas filled with screaming minors cheering him up for no reason.
Now he sits at home “sad and depressed” because there is no one there “cheering and supporting” for no reason and learning or working is something that he never really did, nor does he want.
Meanwhile Jungkook excels now even at painting.
Jungkook entered BigHit at an even younger ages than Taehyung, his parents equally gave him up, yet there is nothing JK can’t do. No matter the amount of work, he won’t stop until he masters something. Martial arts, singing, dancing, painting, boxing, muscle training, filming, photography.
TH supposed to be in charge over the visual part of the new album (even if it was scripted, but officially he was in charge over how the video and pictures should look), now he ended up being like a staff member and will only be in charge with the schedule. JK took over filming and photography probably because TH didn’t put anything together. Too much work..
Taehyung sits at home complaining on weverse about how depressed he is and waiting for minors to write him how much they love him while the other members around him they all work something.
The fact that the member says encouraged him to not give up had something to do with them and not him. They’re all pushing and guilting each other to stay in the band to not loose everything and in the beginning TH was often the main singer and person. As well as the clown of the band. They needed him in the beginning more than anyone else.
If he/they the band can’t or are unwilling to realize some basic stuff and behave like adults, 10 years from now they’ll be 40 and doing the same things 7 y old kids do.
