When one talks about global sensation that is BTS, their discography stands as a testament to the group's emotional depth and artistic growth. Each of the seven members¡ªJin, Suga, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V, and Jung Kook¡ªhave poured their Blood, Sweat and Tears into music that spans a wide range of themes. Among the many eras in their career, none is as deeply cherished by ARMY as the HYYH era.
So, what is HYYH? Short for Hwa Yong Yeon Hwa or The Most Beautiful Moment in Life, HYYH represents a defining chapter in BTS' musical and narrative journey. It encompasses three albums: The Most Beautiful Moment in Life, Part 1, Part 2, and Young Forever¡ªa trilogy that holds deep emotional resonance for fans.
The era began with Part 1 (April 29, 2015), continued with Part 2 (November 30, 2015), and culminated in Young Forever (May 2, 2016). This period marked a turning point for BTS, both musically and thematically. Moving away from their earlier youthful exuberance, the group embraced a more introspective and mature sound. The lyrics delved into the fragility of youth, the pain of growing up, and the bittersweet beauty of fleeting moments.
Beyond the music, HYYH introduced a layered and emotionally rich storyline, intertwining each member's fictional narrative into a shared universe. This narrative would later evolve through albums like WINGS and the Love Yourself series, but it was during HYYH that BTS first invited fans into this complex, symbolic world¡ªone that blurred the lines between reality and fiction, and between artist and audience.
The 7-member group is set to make a highly anticipated full-group comeback in June 2025, following the completion of their mandatory military service. While ARMY eagerly awaits their reunion, BigHit Music previously announced that a special album is in the works to celebrate the 10th anniversary of BTS' iconic HYYH era. HYBE founder Bang Si-hyuk also confirmed that BTS will release a commemorative album in 2025 to honour this milestone chapter in their discography.
While all this is happening, a new Instagram account has emerged under the name "s07_220502," featuring a single line in its description: "Youth never comes back" or "Youth is never coming back." The same line also appears in a link shared on the profile.
The account has posted a series of seven photos featuring seven men standing near a vehicle. However, as one goes through each picture, one person disappears at a time until only one remains.?
While it's unclear whether the individuals in the images are BTS members, ARMY believe it is them as BTS has similar photos in HYYH era and are actively trying to decode the meaning behind the posts.
The BTS fandom quickly turned into detectives and began sharing their theories on X (formerly known as Twitter). The majority, however, believe it is connected to the HYYH era. The display picture on the Instagram account also seems to say "HYYH 3".
The group is expected to officially reunite on June 21, 2025, when Suga¡ªthe final member completing his mandatory military service¡ªis set to be discharged. However, some fans speculate the reunion could happen earlier, possibly around the group's debut anniversary on June 13, especially if Suga uses his accumulated vacation days.?
