In all honesty, it felt like I was writing a fic. Because come on, these characterizations and story lines presented to us was legit a fic written by BigHit.

Disclaimer: I will be reblogging this with the necessary gifs and images as receipts to keep everyone entertained. But for now, I just want this out of my system.

The HYYH trilogy in itself has been a somber coming of age story telling. Gruesome to the point that a lot of ARMY believe one or more members might be dead, fantastical to the point that a lot also believe that the story telling includes that of the supernatural sense (from angels and demons, to Neverland, to time travel and parallel universes), and yet it feels hopeful with a sense of redemption and growth.

Bangtan never hid the fact that their music grew and matured not only as they did but to mirror what people our age and in our generation might be going through. The sentiments were universal enough to bring in fans from all over the world, finding comfort and healing through the music and concepts.

Without further ado. I share with you guys my Theory for the Bangtan Journey. Mind you, this will be long. I hope you bear with me. I will be posting it in parts as I tell the story of each character.

In all honesty, I don’t ascribe to the supernatural characterizations or literal concept interpretations. By my understanding, the story lines of the characters are all progressive and it just so happens that some music videos (or some parts of them) are more conceptual than literal. They had to exaggerate the situations and characterizations to drive a point. You have to remember, these are music videos and they have to tell a story in less than 10 minutes. They have to keep a concept going while maintaining visual artistry.

Note: This is why I prefer writing concept theories like my Spring Day MV Theory. But this story line has been nagging at me, so here it goes.

Let me tell you a story about a group of 7 boys and their journey towards becoming men.

If you were one of the lucky few who were able to see the Wings Tour Live, then you would have been able to see the Outro VCR. It basically sums up their journey and it poses this question.

 How many roads does a boy have to walk to become a man?

 Their story start with the 7 boys meeting in one classroom (Red Bullet VCR). They were ready to follow the customary steps that a boy had to take to grow up and be a man. Learn basic lessons at home. Learn more in school. But let’s take a step back.

They started to question what dreams they truly had (No More Dream). Whether the road often traveled was the path they had to take to reach the conclusion they wanted for themselves. They bonded together and decided that the dreams they had were bigger and not necessarily confined in the four walls of their classrooms. (We Are Bulletproof pt2 and N.O.)  They have dubbed themselves 2 Kool 4 Skool. Not necessarily a message the society and adults would want the youth to ascribe to. But the message will remain hidden if you do not choose to listen.

In the Red Bullet VCR the boys decided that the system was too much. They walked out of their classrooms, book bags in hand and hung out in an old room as they built their dream for music, playing the piano, listening to booming music. But unbeknownst to the 6, one of them was actually more in tune with what is to come. He knew what lie ahead for the boys who were just starting to build their dreams. Jin. He was older and therefore was a step ahead of everyone in the group in the path of living out their youth.

Society has already played with Jin and it was his role to usher these boys into the ascribed path too. But he decided to let these boys live towards their dreams and just watch over them instead.

Their story takes a side step as the boys slowly learn about love and hormones. But these kinds of urges and heartaches were their first steps into understanding a small part of the world, a necessary part of growing up. (Boy in Luv, Danger, War of Hormones, Just One Day)

As they grew together, their bonds deepened. Slowly their hearts beat as one. Seven boys with one heart. In every one heart were 7 boys. (As mentioned in the Wings Outro VCR. So, No. It is not necessarily schizophrenia.) They loved each other as brothers, showing support, giving comfort. This is where the HYYH Trilogy enters. The most beautiful moments of their lives.

They created their own little world, their own Neverland. A place where no worries seemed to touch them, as long as they were together. Their Neverland was an old abandoned pool, a beach, a field by the cliff, a dark tunnel. It took the form of raggedy clustered chairs, a train yard, a rusty pier, a dingy apartment. It was like a dream, just living and having fun. Their energetic youth. And they kept holding on to the dream that none of it would end.

But life is such and such is life. Reality will always catch up. Their times together started getting muddied by their individual troubles, because in truth, in life, one has to make a lot of difficult decisions alone. Their group started splitting up, each one finding comfort and solace in one other rather than 6. They each found their Demian, their soul brother ushering and helping them in their journey.

Their little dream world that one started and built for all of them to live in, collapsing like a fragile house of cards due to the action of one. The house topples and the pieces slowly collapse. They fight their demons alone. They try to grow and move past the temptations while slowly realizing how hard it truly is to fight and so some of them eventually gave in.

But the one who started it all, the one who refused that their hopes be crushed by the norms still watched over them. He realized belatedly that he had to act, and in his attempt to save each one from their self destruction he gets hurt. This one arc angel of sorts who watched his brothers fall.
