ok this is just for my reference but i’m trying to make my own theory for the meaning behind loser. obviously, each member has lost something. seungri has lost the love of a partner, daesung has lost the love and protection of a motherly figure, seunghyun seems to be at a standstill between not understanding what he wants and not being able to get what he wants ( perhaps he lost his mind or himself, perhaps he lost his comfort/pleasure ), jiyong has lost his path ( the feeling of belonging somewhere– he lies down at a crossroad because he doesn’t know which way to go, which road to take ), and youngbae has lost the motivation and will to live ( he seems to have given up hope on redemption of sins? ).

EACH OF THE MEMBER’S STORYLINE IN LOSER MV:

Seungri:

At first he seems like a well adjusted man (good clothes, neat appearance, have gadgets ), but in reality he is a quick tempered man (smashes random car and his belongings) who was dumped by his girlfriend (probably beacuse of his shitty temper). Now he is completely obsessed with her (stalking her, keeps calling her phone). When he finally gets a chance to talk to her, she pushes him away. Basically he’s a fuckboy.

Taeyang:

Someone who used to be religious who had lost their faith or someone who tries to be religious but constantly fails (on the cross it said, Sin will find you, or You will find sin. On the ground it says ‘whatever satisfies the soul is truth) and ended up wandering aimlessly in a junkyard. In the end he couldn’t take it anymore ( feeling guilty maybe?) and drew out the cross on the ground as a marker, so that when he jumped to his death, he could fall on the cross like the god that he used to believe in.

Daesung:

A quiet boy minding his own business until he is jumped by a group of thugs. They humiliated him and threw the bandana that his girlfriend gave him. After the incident, he forces himself up to ‘man up’ in front of the mirror, thinking that he should ‘be a man’ and take revenge. He tried to act tough, but ended up crying because deep inside, he is a scared sensitive boy. He ended up confronting the thugs, beating them up, and stooping down onto their level. The bandana laid forgotten. Like the lyric said, a coward who pretends to be strong.

Top: (omg i love his storyline)

An obsessive man who demands everything to be perfect/clean/ in control (white gloves, white room wrapped in bandages, perfect posture) and has issues with other people touching him/his stuff (shown when he picked the girl’s fingers off him as if she’s dirty). At first he is loving and kind, but when his partner does something that he doesnt like, he turned ugly. Unfortunately, the girl decided to be curious and touch his art stuff, and the previously loving relationship turned violent (he chokes her after pulling her fingers off his art). In the end, he hurt her, possibly killed her (blood splattered) and he is no longer in his perfect clean room in his perfect suit, instead he’s wandering along a dirty alley in  his bathrobe and slippers, dirty, bloodied and out of control, finally showing his true side that he’s been hiding outside of the perfect facade.

GD:

A rich and powerful man who is always alone. (at the beginning, comes out of an expensive car with a white men all around, waiting on him. (maybe his fake friends from the crooked video?)) He is shown to be entering an elevator alone, looking miserable even with his opulent surroundings. In his apartment he is also alone, his home barren except for a few furniture that he smashes in frustration. His loneliness is shown as he keeps staring at a phone that never rings. He ended up wandering the streets alone, his extravagant outfit contrasting against ‘normal people’, showing that he is of a different breed. In his loneliness, he walked the streets, nobody ever interacting with him, until he finally laid on the asphalt alone.
