Deck Of Cards - Tumblr Posts
All Cards on Deck | BTS Representations
Which card on the deck represents each BTS member?
Jin: Ace of hearts
Ace belongs to the hyungs. Hearts because he’s the nurturing member and the hyung privilege allows him to be next in the hierarchy of suits
Rap Monster: Ace of Spades
Ace belongs to the hyungs. Spades because when I watch the Do You MV, ace of spades just shouts at to me and reminds me why he’s a leader, why he’s a spade. Watch it and you’ll see what I mean. He has the most abstract reasoning for his card.
Suga: Ace of Diamonds
Ace belongs to the hyungs. Clubs because he’s a pointed personality, just like a spade, and he’s also the runner up on a hierarchy. Diamonds to me express the desire for achievement, improvement, etc. Suga is on a sugar high for ambition right now, especially since he has the privilege of living out his music.
J-Hope: Ace of Clubs
Ace belongs to the hyungs. Each leaf on the club represents his versatility in rap, dance, and singing (although he’s not promoted that way). Within the group, you can technically deem him as the “golden hyung: (saw that title somewhere on tumblr and I think it really suits him well. Pun unintended.)
Jimin: Jack of Diamonds
To me, a jack is the underdog of the face cards and he always puts himself in humble position for his members. With all the different suits, he fits diamonds best, but not for the same reason as Suga. Apparently, the jack of diamonds face is a depiction of Hector from the Iliad in the French version of the deck. If you’ve never read it, it’s a classic Greek epic poem. Spoiler alert for Iliad, Hector, unfortunately has a tragic ending under the hands of vengeful Achilles, but he was great in the eyes of his people and family. You can ignore the tragic ending for Jimin, unless you consider his rejected advancements to Jungkook :P (I would not object to Jungkook being Achilles…maybe my next representation will be from the Iliad? Nah, I know someone has already done Greek mythology.) [btw, i don’t ship the members, but I do recognize his rejected advances]
V: 7 of Hearts
Really, he’s the last I tried to represent, it’s actually harder for him than I thought. Not because of his unique nature, I actually find him quite normal (maybe I’m like him so I think he’s normal :P) He could have been joker for his uniqueness, but you’ll see read later why he’s not. I don’t care that he’s been joker twice (Don’t get me wrong, I loved it), he’s not a joker representative.So how to narrow him down? Filter through color, rank, and shape. Color, do I see him more as red or black? Red (hearts or diamonds) basically because I eliminate that he’s not a black personality. Major or minor rank? Minor (diamonds or clubs) for the maknae line. Is he pointed or round? Round. Such a round head and round personality (hearts or clubs). So is he a heart, club, or diamond? I will eliminate club because in the shapes, he’s much more of a heart, and rank and color reasons are versatile so there’s no reason to eliminate them by that. Diamond or Heart? At this point, I’ll put him in a heart. He’s super family oriented and much more sensitive than he wants to show. Seven for Bangtan :)
Jungkook: Joker
A versatile, wide card. Golden maknae makes him kind of cocky many times. For sure, he’s earned the title, but I think it gets to his head a little too much sometimes (I still love him though.) The words “versatile” and “wild” really suits this guy (once again, pun unintended but recognized this time)
