How do GOT7 and BTS see each other?



There’s a very clear divide within GOT7 towards how they collectively view BTS and this is shown with the reversed 2 of Cups that lies between the reversed 6 of Wands and the Wheel of Fortune. The reversed 2 of Cups represents this equal divide down the middle of the group and also an inability to see eye-to-eye on the subject. 

On the side with the reversed 6 of Wands you have a perspective of BTS that says they are literal failures but not in the sense that they aren’t superficially successful, but more so in the sense that they consider them to be sellouts. I was hearing something that sounded like, “they fell off the train” which may be more like, “they fell off the bandwagon.” It’s like they don’t see them as being apart of the KPOP world or the industry and it’s almost like there’s this feeling of being abandoned or that BTS abandoned the industry in some way and therefore are failures. It’s very strange.

However, on the other side, the other half of GOT7 sees BTS as the Wheel of Fortune. It’s literally presenting the exact opposite image of what the 6 of Wands was showing. The Wheel of Fortune presents a big external shift, something that takes you in a positive direction, and how I was seeing this was that BTS, in the eyes of this side of GOT7, didn’t fall off the train, they built a completely new one and are now driving the industry on a whole new track and everyone is benefiting from this. It kind of makes the 6 of Wands feel like a more traditional view as if there are certain ways things are supposed to be done and they’re really changing it up and that aspect of failure is that BTS couldn’t bring “old KPOP” into mainstream global media, but a new “modern KPOP” that they spearhead. That’s what it looks like, at least. 

So, one half is very supportive of BTS, genuinely has a lot of love and positive vibes being pumped out their way, but it’s like the other half sits back and doesn’t really add to that. Like they’re not sitting there openly hating BTS, and I don’t think they do hate them, it’s just like they disapprove of things that they do and therefore do not engage in the love pumping. 

BTS collectively has a bit more of a personal view of things here which I assume has to do with the personal connections between the groups that lends to the understanding of struggle and achievement. I don’t how to describe the feeling because it is just a feeling, it’s very straight forward, it feels very matter-of-fact with how these cards are laid out. Basically, there is the 10 of Wands on top, the 9 of Cups on the bottom, and Justice in the middle. The 10 of Wands is representative of overwhelming struggle and the strength to push through and move forward towards the end goal, which is the 9 of Cups. The 9 of Cups is personal fulfillment and a sense of accomplishment. With Justice in the middle, it’s like saying that BTS recognizes that GOT7 work super hard for everything that they have and, again, it’s very matter-of-fact like, “of course they’re successful, have you seen what they’ve been through? They’ve earned their place.”

Again, it’s a very personal perspective, so have you seen what they’ve been through? Probably not. At least not all of what is encompassed within the 10 of Wands.
