The little girl represents ARMY, and before he leaves, he gives her his helmet, either to protect herself or to remember him by, or both. I can't help but think that this is what is happening to us too right now.
But in the end, he came back.

In particular, ARMYs noticed that during the video, Jin had a tattoo on his neck. On closer look, they realized that it was actually braille and spelled out “ARMY.”
Many also noticed that when Jin was doing the crossword, the black spaces were also using braille and spelled out “FOR ARMY.”
When netizens noticed the use of braille in the video, they couldn’t hide their emotions. As always, BTS ensure that they include details to make everyone feel included and represented.
Is the crossword also a braille?!?!😭😭

“I love you”The timing when @BTS_twt #Jin showed his tattoo in Braille on his neck “⠁⠗⠍⠽[ARMY]” in #TheAstronaut MV is timed exactly when the lyrics says “I love you”

The reason why it has been praised so much is the continuous efforts by BTS to ensure they represent everyone in their music videos. Back in July 2021, BTS released the music video for their song “Permission To Dance.”
Fans noticed in the music video was that the members incorporated both Korean (KSL) and international (ASL) sign language into their choreography. The group’s record label later confirmed that this was the case, and the members were using sign language for the words “fun,” “dance,” and “peace.”
Even more recently, BTS were praised for their “Yet To Come” music video collaboration with Hyundai. Throughout the video, people from different countries and backgrounds were shown.
“The Astronaut” is truly a beautiful song, and it’s the small details that have really touched the hearts of ARMYs worldwide. You can read more about BTS promoting inclusivity and diversity with music videos below.
