I thought HYYH was over wHY.

I knew something was up because of the bombs, but I really thought it would be the 'so far away' mv not whatever this is ;_;.

I really am not huge into the fandom theories but.......... this is obviously connected to HYYH, WHY they made such a huge deal about it being over.

Kookie looks beautiful though. Why does bighit love stressing me out.

My head hurts.

Ok, I loved this.

First, the narration is from Herman Hesse's Demian which is a bildungsroman. So, I feel like this comeback/album is going to be about the post-youth haze of going through shit and figuring out who you are before you became an 'adult' (which is kinda.. what a bildungsroman is).

I am interested that he's in this nightmare phase with all these throwbacks to HYYH and pictures of Yoongi (aka his HYYH MV partner) throughout. I wonder if they are going to keep that going and have each teaser be one member of the Maknae line with their respective ~hyung line member with the eldest Jin watching over them. As each older member kinda.. pulls the younger member through the mess that is growing up to ~come of age.

I think if the next teaser is jihope or vmon, then this is correct.

We'll see. But I'm excited!! And this was GENUINELY CREEPY.

I'm screeAAAMMMING

can we ever get a break omg. I mean, Suga's third mv hasn't even been released yet (will it ever be tho???) and bam! big hit strikes again. I'm not ready.

I'm super excited tbh, even though I really wonder what is actually about to hit us. New album? new EP? anything else?? It does look like it's related to the INU/Run universe and I'm a little surprised because I thought we were officially done with it after Young Forever.

so namjoon is heard quoting lines that are from the book "demian" by herman hess. people are already speculating that does can be (loosely) based on the book since there are elements of if that you can find in this short film. the book is about a boy emile who struggles between two worlds and finds solace in his classmate max demian, who becomes like a mentor to him. i do hope that's the case and i'm interested to see what all of this will turn into.

lmao bighit is always doing the most with their symbolism/~theories~


give bangtan a break!!! debut that new girl group.

[hinadori.livejournal.com]

What new girl group? The boys have said they don't have any female trainees at BigHit...

[sumo-mo.livejournal.com]

i loved thisssss
i'm too excited for whatever this is

[digitalqueen.livejournal.com]

...thats really bad acting.

could this be a subunit? i think yoongi/jungkook would be interesting

[zuznay.livejournal.com]

lmao i thought he was good until he went into the 'crying and shaking his head' thing, but even that i thought was more cute than anything

[izumichan31.livejournal.com]

I mean the Save Me MV did end with the words 'Boy Meets What'. So I'm guessing that we're about to get the what? I'm honestly not even going to try and decipher what this is though. I'll just appreciate the visuals.

[izumichan31.livejournal.com]

Okay so that sentence in the video is a line from Tomorrow.

"Because the dawn right before the sun rises is the darkest"

Hm..

[violoncelliste.livejournal.com]

this is weird af lmao but why not, let them do stuff. they learn knew things and fans get content

I'm just cackling this is so great

[jaelissi.livejournal.com]

If you just want MVs and music, fine by me. But I like that we get stories and clues and just all round fun content apart from the music side. Keep doing you, BigHit ;)

I watched this basically right after I woke up, and I went from sleepy confusion to hyped fangirl in a ridiculously short amount of time. My thoughts in order:

*sleepy blink* "Huh? Short film? What is this?"
"WHAT? Jungkook what's happening??"
*tidal wave of feels* "BIG HIT. BTS. I CAN'T HANDLE YOU! I LOVE BTS! T_T" *thrashes around my bed*
"Wait. Where is the MV for "So Far Away"? I love new stuff Big Hit, but you better not cheat my Yoongi out of his 3rd MV! You can't do that!"
*reads comments* "SUBUNIT? HYYH CONTINUATION? COMEBACK? I CAN'T HANDLE THIS."

I have conflicted feelings about it maybe being a continuation of HYHH... If that's it I think it depends how they present it.

[lostintheechoes.livejournal.com]

i was not ready, i cried, and i'm confused af.

[saemcrh.livejournal.com]

Part of me is just like "let them rest pls, and let that era die" but the other part is like

[flowereon.livejournal.com]

Mte

I'd protest more lol since it's clear bighit is milking the era a bit but ever since the HYYH series the boys seem more involved in the concept and song and music making (for example no way it wasn't Namjoon that suggested some of those quotes and ideas).

As long as the boys are involved creatively I'm good.

[flowereon.livejournal.com]

Well color me impressed.

The references and the tone are amazing; I can't wait to see what will come out. Concept wise it's delivering, I hope it also delivers music wise.

[mercury-sound.livejournal.com]

I appreciate them taking inspiration from Hermann Hesse, probably one of the most interesting canonical writers of Germany. Also gives me a reason to finally read "Demian". :D

I also think it's interesting that they are throwing it back to School Luv Affair with that line from Tomorrow rather than to HYYH. I'm intrigued.

[annayism.livejournal.com]

the tone of this video is so great. i'm really excited for whatever concept bts pulls out next

[honey-baymax.livejournal.com]

Just give me the So Far Away mv Bighit...

Also I knew that was a drawing of Yoongi as soon as I saw it. Sorta here for more Sugakookie theories.

[minho-lover.livejournal.com]

nothing is making sense in my simple mind lol, but that art pic looked a lot like bby taetae. im all for this if bts is doing a very dark themed song, like suuuuuper dark like this trailer~

[noonakaia.livejournal.com]

I'm confused but I'm excited.
I mean I'm REALLY confused but I'm SUPER excited.

[chimpansee.livejournal.com]

Omg they must rest, for God's sake

[miwa201.livejournal.com]

so i guess no so far away then? shame.

ugh but i'm kinda tired of hyyh. i wish they'd move on. and i'm not looking forward to all the theories again.

[happydirections.livejournal.com]

have hope, dear ;__; i don't think this has anything to do with hyyh? they've said that young forever was the conclusion of that era. this just seems like their tackling a different aspect of a person's live with the way this seems to be based on a book.

[queenhinata.livejournal.com]

me rn

[broadcities.livejournal.com]

can bighit send me a memo or something before they release something like this? i'm still not over ypongi's mixtape and i was still waiting for so far away mv to be released...

the video is gorgeous but i'm so done with all these fan theories. i'm really excited for new music but i also really want them all to rest a bit and explore individual activities. mixed feelings but i'm a greedy, selfish fan so i'm excited

[overflowers.livejournal.com]

I was expecting one of several things to drop at midnight (so far away, puma cf, youth promo), but not this! I am surprised, a little creeped out, but very excited to see what follows. I see people have already started checking out the novel and I love that.
