Bangtan Universe

g

BTS creates so much content for their fans and among their content, they have created an alternate universe which they call Bangtan Universe. For the past 4 years, their company BigHit, has been working on a storyline using the BTS members with different stories. BigHit has never really explicitly explained the storyline and they have left the fans to make up theories and ideas of what is happening in Bangtan Universe. They release music videos, notes, and short films to tell the story but the content can be sort of confusing and vague, leaving the fans to make a wide range of theories. I was honestly so confused with the storyline because there are two hours worth of videos to connect as well as putting the different notes that can be found in their albums together.

I NEED U was the beginning of the Bangtan Universe storyline
Euphoria was a short video released to explain the storyline.

Earlier this year, a web toon called Save Me was released and made it easier for anyone to understand the Bangtan Universe. The story line became easier to understand and all the videos began to make sense. Bangtan’s Universe story line begins with the boys meeting each other in the high school detention room. From then on their friendship grows stronger but they experience many hardships that make their lives difficult. As they leave high school they part ways and things start to go downhill.

Jin is given the opportunity to go back in time to save them from their mistakes and hardships but every time he fails he has to start the day over. The web toon has 16 episodes and is honestly kind of violent. The web toon connects the notes, music videos, and short films together to reveal the actual events of the story line. The web toon finale left the fans in shock because it ended with a plot twist and left them asking more questions.

“Seven boys. Best friends. Their fates intertwined through the good times together, but also the tough times, as they have gone their separate ways and suffered greatly as a result. When all is almost lost for these boys, one is given a special chance to go back in time and help his friends fix the mistakes that led them down this path. He’ll do anything to save them, but can he? Or is he too late?” – Save Me

Along with the web toon, they released a book full of all the notes that have been released over the past four years. The notes are basically journal dates that the boys write about. They are usually significant events that affect their stories and the misfortunes that they are experiencing in the alternate universe.
