Although only entering service in July 2014, the K2 Panther MBT started its life in 1995, with a South Korean shift in military ideology. The South Korean military shifted towards a "three-dimensional" warfare strategy, and needed a new MBT with a heavy focus on command and control, rather than mobility, firepower, or armor. The result was an auto-loading, 56 ton MBT with a 120mm main gun and a 3-man crew. The K2 Panther has also been exported to both Turkey and Poland.

RM’s world: RM vs Albert Camus

If you know RM (Namjoon) from BTS, you probably already know he's super into art and culture. From the very start of his music career, he's been impressing fans with his creativity, and his style has definitely evolved over time. He’s always exploring different themes and ideas in his music, but one thing that stays the same is how deep his lyrics are and how they often reflect philosophical thoughts. In this video, I want to dive into how RM’s work connects to the philosophy of Albert Camus and take a closer look at what’s going on in his head and his approach to life.

About the Song

Let’s talk about his song LOST! It dropped on May 24, 2024, as part of RM's second solo album Right Place, Wrong Person. This track is super introspective and reflective, which is kind of RM’s thing. It’s all about existential uncertainty, that feeling of being confused about your place in the world.

Now, to really get the full picture of what LOST! is about, you need to watch the music video. The visuals add a lot to the message of the song. But even without hearing the song, you can sense the main theme — it’s all about feeling lost, disconnected from everything, and lonely.

Right Place, Wrong Person

So, RM's album Right Place, Wrong Person really focuses on existential thoughts, personal growth, and emotional vulnerability. It's all about human emotions and the struggle of feeling like you're not quite where you should be in life. The album title itself kind of hints at that internal conflict — like when what’s expected of you doesn’t match what you actually want. It’s full of moments of self-doubt and uncertainty.

Absurdity

In LOST!, RM tackles this inner chaos — the need to find freedom, and the struggle with personal problems.

When you break down the music video and the lyrics, two big ideas come out — rebellion and absurdity. The main character in the song, probably RM himself, refuses to just follow the rules everyone else seems fine with. You know, that idea of just accepting everything with love and moving on? RM’s character questions that. His doubts and inner struggles make him realize just how absurd the world can be. He’s trying to make sense of things, but the more he does, the more chaotic it seems.

The lines "Pick it up, throw it in the trunk, dump it on the ground" repeat throughout the song, and they really show how RM’s character is stuck in this loop of trying to find order in chaos. But after a while, he just accepts the absurdity of it all and decides to go with the flow.

This ties into Albert Camus’ philosophy, especially his work The Myth of Sisyphus. Camus says that life is kind of absurd — humans are always looking for meaning in a world that doesn’t really have any. Camus argues that while life may not have any inherent meaning, we shouldn’t give in to despair. Instead, we should embrace life and live it to the fullest, even if it feels meaningless.

Like Sisyphus, who keeps pushing that boulder up the hill even though he knows it’ll just roll back down, RM’s character in LOST! keeps going. He’s searching for freedom and trying to figure things out, even though the world seems pointless and confusing. The song expresses that desire to break free and find yourself, even in the middle of all the chaos.

But here’s the thing: RM’s character doesn’t try to impose his views on the world or prove society’s absurdity like Camus. For him, it’s more of a temporary, internal struggle. The absurdity exists in his mind, and it’s something he’s just dealing with for now.

Wrapping Up

So, with all of this said, don’t think of LOST! as just one-dimensional. If you spend more time with the song, you’ll see just how deep it really goes. I hope this breakdown gives you a better idea of RM’s creative world and his way of seeing things. There's so much to explore, and this is just scratching the surface.

Cute capybara 사랑해

For those who are interested in Korean language:

"사랑해" means in Korean "I love you", it's very informal and intimate way to say due to 반말 (a plain language you use between friends/lovers, people that you know and they are in the same age/younger)

In Korean language, depending on the level of intimacy, age gap, work/school hierarchy, you use 반말 or 존댓말.

In case you want to sound more polite, feel free to use "사랑해요"

(adding -"요" changes 반말 into 존댓말 - a polite, honorific language)
