Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
It may be 5 years in math but the flashback I have on this MV & Album hasn't aged at all & the fact that this MV has started it all for BTS. So why not a thread full of sharing your kind & warm memories with this 😉
This was when I became a fan :’)
5 years!? Half a decade!? Time FLIES, fam! Still some of my favorite styling on Bangtan and the 120938123 theories still flash across my mind as I watch this MV. Everyday in quarantine has been soft hours for the boys, so today will be streaming HYYH today! I remember dancing around my room to this and attempting those body rolls LOL (no lie, I still do this)
Everytime I hear this song, from the first note, that first "fall", I get goosebumps. Can't explain how special it is for me even though I discovered it later on as a newer fan. This song, this album, this era. Hoping for many future beautiful memories with them.
This trilogy is perfection, I don’t think anyone can come up with a better concept that this. This was the lightning in a bottle BTS moment for me.
I came so late to the fandom, so late. But this was the second album I bought after MOTS, and it holds up so, so well.
God I remember waiting for this mv to drop and feeling so overwhelmed it was over! In all honesty I was so shocked at the ‘change’ in their sound and I remember feeling anxious for them whilst watching the first music show performance of it because I thought people wouldn’t warm to this side of them. Turns out I had nothing to worry about lol.
Also I guess I was technically still a baby army back so this was the era when I just KNEW I would be stanning these guys for a while... I just didn’t think it’d be for this long. 🥺
Even though I wasn't an ARMY back then, this whole HYYH era still brings me intense nostalgia and it will always have a very special place in my heart along with the Wings/YNWA era, one of the reasons being that I discovered it during one of the loneliest periods of my life (and fell in the rabbit hole through it).
As a lonely recluse, I've always been drawn to the whole underdog/outsider theme, and in a time when I felt the most alienated, the HYYH era resonated deeply with me. The depression and anxiety that I was going through, and the friendship and youthful freedom/fun that I so desperately yearned for - HYYH kind of encapsulates my teenage era. Although I never went through any of the situations portrayed in the MVs, I could certainly relate to the mental/emotional turmoil that the members/characters were going through and which were also prevalent in the rest of the albums (which contain some of BTS' best songs of all time, imho).
BTS and the BigHit creative team truly have an extraordinary knack for conveying angst and melancholy, or hopeful melancholy, in such a vulnerable yet powerful way. And as an angsty girl in a world that tends to dismiss teenagers' feelings, BTS is the empowering voice for youth that I needed, as I discovered through the HYYH era. It provided a gateway for me to explore and better understand my mental and emotional issues when I felt like no one else in my life could understand me. And for that I say thank you to this whole era, for giving me some of the most beautiful moments in my life (yes, I'm very cheesy, I know).
*Edit: for me, it's quite bittersweet because I love this era so much that I wish I could back to it or during the Wings/YNWA era, but I'm also happy and proud at how much they've grown during these past few years and where they are today, even if I'm not as strongly attached to their current music (which may or may not change in the future). As they said, let's move on - as much as I can't help looking back at my favourite eras and special moments in my life with grief and yearning, I don't want to dwell on the past for so long that I forget the beauty and value of the present until it's too late. As Tae said, we gon' change, and things are always gonna keep on changing whether we like it or not - although that can be a hard pill to swallow, I personally find it important to remember that no matter how much BTS changes, they've always retained their "inner child," or the original spirit of their music and core of their identity as artists (as seen especially in their lyrical content, and there's always glimpses of their old sound to be found in later work like Outro: Her and Respect, two underrated gems), and I greatly appreciate how they've always cherished and honoured their roots the way that they do. If you fall out of love with them or lose interest in their music because of their stylistic change, that's totally fine, too, and your feelings are just as valid - at least you can still leave with the precious gift of beautiful memories and maybe even new friendships, and that will never change even as you move on with your life.
On a side note, does anyone know any good coming of age books or anime or any other media that have similar themes or storylines to the BU/HYYH series? The only one that I'm familiar with is The Outsiders and I need more books or movies like that.
This song, DOPE and Fire cemented my love for their songs when I first started listening to BTS.
