a guide for armys about the whole bangtan universe and how to watch and read the contents to understand the storylines and ideas behind them: a thread
disclaimer: this thread only shows the way I personally think it would be best to go through the contents to understand everything better. Of course everyone can have different approaches. Also it can have some of my own interpretations of events
the bu is a very intricate place that has been introduced especially during the so called hyyh era which was an abbreviation for "the most beautiful moment in life" or "hwa yang yeon hwa" it is made of three albums describing the life of youth and their transition to adulthood
the bu storylines started earlier though you could see references from early on that would later be connected with the notes. The hyyh album manifested the beginning of the characters and their stories and continued through wings era and love yourself as well as map of the soul
there are a lot of components/ material to understand and watch the bu: heres a brief overview
- mvs
- short films
- highlight reels
- the notes as a book
- the notes from the albums
- literature from various authors
- the save me webtoon

in the bangtan universe which truly started with the I need u mv every member had a story representing a certain aspect of how an individual could be living. through the friendship of the members they started finding comfort in each other to forget the hardships of their lives
although all the members have deep tied friendships with e/o there are certain pairings that come out of the group that will later be important
- hoseok & jimin
- yoongi & jungkook
- namjoon & taehyung
seokjin is the only person remaining alone but connected with them all
- hoseok & jimin
- yoongi & jungkook
- namjoon & taehyung
seokjin is the only person remaining alone but connected with them all
so the first thing I would recommend to watch is the I need u mv. Although in the timeline in my opinion the events in run happen BEFORE I need u i still think its smarter to start with i need u to get a grip of everything

in the I need u mv we see a lot of content that would later play a big role that you should pay attention on:
- the flowers seokjin holds
- taehyung kllling his father
- hoseok collapsing
- namjoon dy*ng at the gas station
- yoongi dy*ng in the fire
- jungkooks car accident
- the flowers seokjin holds
- taehyung kllling his father
- hoseok collapsing
- namjoon dy*ng at the gas station
- yoongi dy*ng in the fire
- jungkooks car accident
you should always watch the mvs with the thought in mind that these are different timelines being shown not everything happens at the same time but they are there to show you how everything could turn out if seokjin doesnt save them
in my opinion run events happened before the I need u events that's why the second step would be to watch the run mv & understand how the members LIVED before seokjin started going back in time during April 11th.

run is very very important because that's the first time the smeraldo flower appears which will later be VERY important and it's the first time you can see taehyung as a kind of antagonist for seokjin in this whole event. taehyung destroying the cards and structure seokjin builds
he's the one who seems in some way aware of seokjin trying to being the things back in place and that's important because later he will be the only one aware of seokjin time travlering and causing sisruptsions in the universe
and the next and very important thing to understand the "start" of bu is to watch the prologue

things to pay attention to in the prologue:
- joons message on the mirror "you need to survive" this will be in the notes later referring to what his father told him
- them going to the beach and being happy
- taehyung calling namjoon after kllling his father
- joons message on the mirror "you need to survive" this will be in the notes later referring to what his father told him
- them going to the beach and being happy
- taehyung calling namjoon after kllling his father
everything AND I MEAN EVERYTHING that happens in the prologue happens in the notes but when you read the notes it's much more detailed on what each member thought and better to understand what happened after
and now we get a better picture:
- somehow is trying to change the timeline and save his friends but cannot succeed
- different timelines are being represented
and now is the time where the webtoon comes into place
- somehow is trying to change the timeline and save his friends but cannot succeed
- different timelines are being represented
and now is the time where the webtoon comes into place
the save me webtoon is the most reliable way to understand how seokjin time travels and how he canr escape the timeless loop..but beware the content could be very triggering for some so if you do not feel comfortable reading it do not

save me webtoon is a true depictions of different timelines and you can see the events from run and I need u especially ! This means that the events from I need u do not correlate with current timeline anymore not fully at least
what you also notice after reading the webtoon is seokjin realizes more that it's not only HIM saving the members but them saving themselves too he needs all their help they need to save each other too that's what he uses as his best approach and THATS where the notes come in
