*A NOTE FOR NEWCOMERS:* Welcome to our channel. The Bangtan Universe is an ongoing, totally fictional storyline created by BTS themselves. We hope you'll enjoy learning about the characters, plot twists, and secrets slowly revealed. Ask any questions you like. We'll be happy to answer!
Thanks for this amazing video. You have done so much work to condense the story into 17 minutes. I hope newer ARMY won't feel so intimidated anymore by the complex storyline.
Thanks so much! We really do want to introduce more ARMY to the BU, especially right now, while we're in between eras. It's a good time to get caught up.
Thanks for this! It’s a clear and concise explanation of the BU that many of us will refer to as the story continues in 2025. All your videos are very helpful, this one is a great summary!
Thank you. We know the longer videos are more detailed for those who really want to get into all of the content. This was a way to help out all of the information together in an easier to understand format. If you have recommendations or content you want to see, please let us know!
I wonder if the story will continue in 2025. I am sure that, should the creative team at BigHit choose to do so, they may release another book in 'The Notes' series to continue the storyline, but it could become increasingly difficult to maintain the originality and emotion the HYYH series has as the BTS members age and want to explore the topic of youth in different, more age-appropriate ways. They always present us albums that align with their real lives; Wings = temptation of adulthood, MOTS = artistic life crisis. I really can't wait until 2025!
I've read the notes and other material before but this really summed it up!!! Thanks a lot, it also helped since I'm watching the new drama, even if it's an adaptation so they will probably change some things, but they're doing a good job with the story and the actors are great. Anyways, great video, i feel like BTS themselves would love it too lolll
Thank you for this excellent video! I’m counting on you to guide me through this complex universe…. I love how intricately BTS has constructed this story, and dropped clues everywhere, but I’m reliant on our ingenious ARMY to discover and decipher it all for me!
Im not a new army but i always struggled to fully wrap my mind around it. I wanted to fully understand it before watching the kdrama about it Thank you
Thanks, we're glad to help!🙂 If you'd like fuller explanations of the BU, you can watch our two-part series, "Summarizing the Bangtan Universe." We hope you'll also stick around to learn about our theories for the future of the BU.
Thank you - this fills in a lot of gaps for me since I didn't watch the webtoon nor read the notes. Now the things I've watched/seen make so much more sense. I'm glad you're doing this. 💜💜
This will be a very good guide.! You tell the story without getting too bogged down in the details, while telling enough details to make a comprehensible story. That's the hardest part! Thank you! I'm sharing with my FB group if that's ok.
@@MarilynPF Thanks, we're glad we could help! "HYYH" stands for the Korean term "Hwa Yong Yeon Hwa," which translates as "The Most Beautiful Moment in Life." HYYH has become a synonym for the BU because the BU formally kicked off at the beginning of the HYYH era.
I have read BU's plug somewhere else and did not understand a thing, and yet anticipated its release. Thank you for this information. Now I understand. More power😊
Thanks, we're glad we could make the BU clearer for you. If you want more detail on the various events and their meanings, check out our two-part series "Summarizing the Bangtan Universe."
Thank you very much! You've probably noticed the deep video pair already, so we hope you enjoy them - and that you'll comment again once you've seen them. ☺
This is way long over due! Short and concise information,but very important headings. Especially that this is all just a story,no matter what other connections to the boys it might seem to have,it is a fictional storyline. So now,one can decide if they want to do a deep dive into the whole HYYH Universe. Thank you ,truly for this. I'll just bet it was difficult to keep this as short as you did,huh? Knowing the entire story shows how you picked what to show and say. Thank you so much🤗💜🫡
Thank you so much for making this video. The BU is complex, and this was a very helpful overview/summary. I wish I was in the room at Big Hit when this storyline was developed - it would have been fascinating to watch the story unfold in the minds of the creative staff/writers.
Thanks for the the kind words! You might be interested to hear that the members developed their characters. It's funny to think of, for instance, Taehyung saying, "I want to play a guy who murders his father." 🙃
The best way to understand BU is watching the recent drama Begins#Youth. It's a BighHit produced drama that depicts the beginning of the BU story perfectly.
Thanks for commenting, but actually, Begins Youth deviates far from canon, and BigHit was only involved in the early stages of its development - which explains why they didn't make any announcements when it was released. The K-drama has its own story, and although it's very good and has a lot in common with the official BU, the deviations from canon are too significant for you to rely on it for an accurate guide. Instead, you can go the long route, which means watching all the BU-related MVs and reading the (officially released) books; or you can go the short route and follow material made by ARMY experts on the BU. To be clear, we're not saying you *shouldn't* watch the K-drama. Just remember that it's very far from canon.
So are the members the writers of the story lines? It is so dark!!! Almost like they are pouring all possible bad karma into this story to ward it off from anything bad happening to BTS. Their star really took off when I need U came out …the same time the BU was started. Hmmm. Thank you so much for doing this!!!
The members don't write every scene, but they designed their characters and storylines. It's not clear how much hands-on involvement they have these days since, as you said, their star has taken off. The funny thing is, all the way back in the School era, they had laid the foundation for events that wouldn't take place until the Map of the Soul era. For instance, you can see the locked cabinet in the storage room in a VCR for BTS Begins! So BTS were planning for a very long career from the beginning. Thanks for watching, and for taking the time to comment. We hope you'll stick around for our deeper analyses and theories, including what will come next!

Thanks! We're amazed, too, at how much work BTS and their staff have put into the BU. They plan plot points years in advance!

Glad you enjoyed it! Please share it with anyone you think may enjoy a brief overview of the BU from HYYH to MOTS.
I never tried to get into the BU because I didn’t even know where to start. This was very helpful. What does HYYH stand for?
@@MarilynPF Thanks, we're glad we could help! "HYYH" stands for the Korean term "Hwa Yong Yeon Hwa," which translates as "The Most Beautiful Moment in Life." HYYH has become a synonym for the BU because the BU formally kicked off at the beginning of the HYYH era.
@@MarilynPF Hwa Yang Yeon Hwa... The Most Beautiful Moment in Life. 💜
Wow! What a good job! I'm not a newbie, but I got curious to see what you had to say. Well done! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

This video explain Begins Youth actually so much better. I hope new armys will find this video to understand hyyh better.
Thanks!
Thank you, this fills in a lot of gaps for me. Looking forward to a deep dive.
