mono series : mono.
journey.
designed in 2018: This pin was the hidden bonus pin for people who preordered the set when I first took preorders for them in early 2019! Thank you guys again for trusting in me and my designs since I revealed the design after pre-orders originally closed.
The design was inspired by mono and by one of the songs in BTS’ discography 2!3! with the lyrics “Let’s only walk on flower paths, I can’t say that”. I feel like Bangtan in general knows themselves that nothing truly lasts forever, but at the end of the day what lies at the end of the flowery road, or any road in general, is you, the person traveling along the journey. The whole mono playlist is just a HUGE representation of Joon’s growth as a person and as an artist, so I wanted to make something that represented, him not as an artist but as a person but at the same time capturing the feel of the album as a whole. A bit older and a bit wiser from that of Rap Monster several years ago. So in this case, to Kim Namjoon, a man who has had many ups and downs in his career, thank you for sharing your story and journey with us, and no matter if the flower road turns into a normal one in the future, I will continue to support you and the rest of BTS until the end.

[ about the series ] : The main inspiration behind this pin series was my love for the playlist mono. by BTS' RM (Joon) Most of the designs are based off of things that I took from each song on my first listen though along with with a lot of heavy influences from Kim Daily. The design sketch process started back in October 2018, and I finished in Jan 2019! This series and playlist in general mean a lot to me, so I’m super excited to share this project with everyone and I hope you guys enjoy them as much as much as I do!
