Get ready to dive into the intertwined lives of the seven boys in the upcoming BTS-inspired K-drama, now officially titled 'Begins Youth'. This highly anticipated series, initially known as 'YOUTH', is finally set to grace screens this year after facing multiple delays. The brainchild of HYBE founder Bang Si Hyuk, this drama has been generating immense excitement since its announcement in 2020.
During a press conference, Bang Si Hyuk shared, "We are working with a famous Korean drama production company to produce a drama where the theme is based on BTS's outlook on the world, and the drama is expected to be revealed in the second half of 2020," as quoted by Koreaboo. 'Begins Youth' promises to delve into the multifaceted universe of BTS, inspired by The Most Beautiful Moment in Life Series, which spans across various media platforms such as the BTS Universe Story game and Save Me Webtoon. The drama takes viewers on a time-traveling journey, exploring the bonds of friendship among seven boys as they navigate the challenges and personal growth that come with their school years.
At the heart of the narrative is Kim Hwan, a socially isolated character who returns to Songju-si, where he encounters six boys. Through their shared experiences of family obligations, loss, poverty, abandonment, violence, and rejection, the characters' connections evolve from suspicion to a deep and unbreakable friendship. As they confront their own family issues, they become a source of support and healing for each other.
The recently released full-length trailer for 'Begins Youth' provides a tantalizing glimpse into each character's individual story, accompanied by subtle references to iconic BTS music videos such as 'Spring Day' and 'I NEED U'. The trailer deftly navigates through the characters' struggles, portraying them with poignant words such as 'Sacrifice', 'Rumor', 'Interest', 'Poverty', 'Memory', 'Violence', and 'Remarriage'.
Despite the intense and dramatic undertones showcased in the trailer, it concludes on a celebratory note, emphasizing the power of friendship. The choice of BTS's uplifting song, 'Mikrokosmos', perfectly encapsulates the heartwarming message the drama aims to convey. While an official release date is still undisclosed, devoted ARMYs eagerly await the moment when the BTS-inspired Webtoon seamlessly comes to life on the small screen in 2024. The excitement and anticipation are palpable as fans eagerly anticipate the unveiling of 'Begins Youth' and another chapter in the immersive BTS Universe.
