During '2018 Mnet Asian Music Awards', the VCR played just before BTS' stage declared, "I'll show you the map of the soul. I'll show you the dream."

The concept of 'Map of the soul' was first introduced by Swiss psychiatrist Carl Gustav Jung, who founded analytical psychology.

Jung described 'Persona' as "a mask designed to make an impression on others, while concealing the true nature of oneself," which could also be related to the mask performance shown on 'FAKE LOVE'.
