Abstract

The semiotic analysis seeks to find the hidden meaning behind a sign. This study investigates the emotional differences in the song lyrics in BTS Jin's solo projects, Abyss and The Astronaut. The meaning and emotional differences obtained through this analysis are denotation, connotation, and myth. This study uses a qualitative method with an interpretative approach using Barthes' (1964) theory of semiology. The result of the study shows that there are two emotional differences conveyed by the two songs in BTS Jin's solo project. The song Abyss tells about Jin's experience when he felt burdened in the process of knowing and learning other personas in him. The Astronaut, on the other hand, a song about how his fans gave him hope and helped him escape the zone where he felt burnout. The emotional differences conveyed by the two songs are Burden in the Song Abyss and Hope in The Astronaut song.
