Suga fired a volley of rap chorus verses in the intro of "MAP OF THE SOUL : 7 'Interlude : Shadow'" comeback trailer film released on Friday. The stunning YouTube video mesmerized some 10 million fans across the globe in less than 11 hours.

Many fans predict that BTS will shift its focus more to the psychological side of people's characters as "SHADOW" and "EGO", psychological terms stated by Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst who founded analytical psychology, are the titles of comeback trailers.
