Theory 3

(By Madi, https://minseoktea.wordpress.com/2015/09/10/mv-analysis-btss-%ED%99%94%EC%96%91%EC%97%B0%ED%99%94-on-stage-prologue/)

Ironically, one of the MV Analysis I wanted to do was of BTS's I Need You considering there were so many theories about the members in the uncut version. Well the 화양연화 On Stage – Prologue saved me some trouble and answers the question of what happened to the members at the end. But before that, here are some titles of the theories I had before and/or came across before the prologue debuted:

All the members die.
All the members except Jin and V die; maybe Rap Monster(?).
All the members except Jin dies.

You'll want to watch BTS's if you're not familiar or just for a refresher. Then read through the theories before you watch the prologue. By being a prologue, it is meant to come first. But remember, their album was called The Most Beautiful Moment in Life Pt. 1. So this is a prologue to part two and possibly an epilogue to part one. You have to close one chapter before continuing to the next.

1. All the members die.

I remember reading a comment somewhere (probably YouTube) that Rap Monster confirmed that all the members died in the end

I remember reading a comment somewhere (probably YouTube) that Rap Monster confirmed that all the members died in the end. Funny enough, I couldn't find anything on that claim. No message, no interview clip, nothing. Skimming through the other comments on YouTube, there were a lot of theories of the members dying. Some went to point out the lilies (meaning of death) and Jin was holding six petals to represent each member. So to go with this theory:
– Rap Monster is killed via the cigarette falling on the money at the gas station.
– J-Hope overdoses on his medication.
– Jungkook meets his end by getting hit by a car after a run in with a short tempered individual.
– Jimin drowns himself in the tub.
– Suga burns down the motel room, himself included, by pouring gasoline over everything.
– Jin commits suicide not being able to handle the others' deaths.
V... uh... well he kills someone by stabbing them to death, so....  

2. All the members except Jin and V die; maybe Rap Monster(?)

I couldn't agree with all the members dying... even RapMon is a stretch. I couldn't see Namjoon dying at the gas station. A cigarette falls on money...which is unlikely to cause a fire, but even if it did, the fumes at the gas station would have had to have been concentrated and high for it to cause an explosion. At no point was the money doused in petroleum, so I can't wrap my head around that's the way he died.

V is seen killing his ex's lover. But at best, unless he killed himself (which there were no implications of), he's going to jail or living life on the run. And I don't see Jin just jumping out of a window. His scenes had no build up to support that theory. So the theory that wins is...

3. All the members except Jin dies.

One plain thing that supports this theory in the prologue video is none of the members show up in any of the pictures except for Jin. One scene that supports this theory is at the end of the video, when he takes the film out of the glove compartment box that RapMon put there earlier, there's only Jin. There's confusion and a sense of "what the hell..." that settles on his face because his memory isn't matching up with what he believes happened. But if you remember that scene, Rap Monster took a photo of Jin and Suga. Suga is nowhere to be found in that photo. If you actually look closer, the photo isn't the one that Namjoon, but Jin did. Yes, what Jin is looking at is a selca he took himself.
