BTS, marking the end of the Youth Duology! Mini album 'HYYH pt.2'
The moment of youth that burns fiercely, yet is merely a dream once it passes
Still, an unstoppable sprint towards a ray of light ‘RUN’
BTS announces their fourth mini album 'HYYH pt.2'. With the mini album 'HYYH pt.1' released in April showing a significantly grown BTS, they received enthusiastic cheers from youths around the world. 'HYYH pt.2', to be released on November 30, completes the Youth Duology, delivering the brilliant energy of youth to music fans of their age living ‘the most beautiful moment in life’.
[The Energy of Youth]
Seven young men straddling the threshold of their twenties. Just stepping into their youth, BTS sang about the precarious nature of youth facing an uncertain future in their previous work 'HYYH pt.1'. 7 months later, 'HYYH pt.2' sees BTS embracing all the anxieties and precariousness from their previous work and sprinting with all their might. Now slightly acquainted with the bitter tastes of life, they fully suspect that life is not just beautiful. Yet, they run forward nonetheless. All they possess are their poor legs and a fiery heart; there's nothing else they can do but run. In the midst of this powerless youth, they collide, break, and shout out, covered in wounds. It's okay to fall, it's okay to get hurt. That's why this moment is beautiful.
Following the previous album, BTS members RM, Suga, J-Hope, V, Jungkook have again contributed to the producing and composing, showing a more advanced musical growth. The lyrics have deepened, and the songs have become hotter. The Youth Duology may conclude with 'HYYH pt.2', but they are just at the starting point. Never Mind, the sprint of BTS is just beginning.
[BTS Between Dreams and Reality]
In 'HYYH pt.1', BTS captured the precarious aspect of youth against the backdrop of blooming cherry blossoms. And in 'HYYH pt.2', to portray another facet of youth, the sprinting youth, they once again stepped out of the claustrophobic studio.
The gaze of the members wandering over the shabby back alleys of Incheon, precariously on top of container boxes, and over the railway tracks is pure yet rebellious. The image of BTS, capturing the unyielding energy of youth, forms a bond of empathy as it is no different from their peers.
Conversely, the photos shot in Jeju are filled with an unrealistic happiness, like a fairy tale. Colorful costumes, props like soap bubbles, the vast ocean, and green fields highlight an image of paradise that seems to exist only in dreams. Especially, the 'butterfly' that appears throughout plays an important role as a mediator between reality and dreams, intertwined with Zhuangzi's 'Butterfly Dream', delivering a dreamlike feeling where it's impossible to distinguish between what is a dream and what is reality.
[Introducing the title track RUN]
The title track of the fourth mini album 'HYYH pt.2' and the song that concludes the Youth Duology, ‘RUN’, is a hip-hop dance track with added Brit rock sentiment. It starts quietly with a nostalgic electric guitar sound and gradually releases powerful energy towards the end. BTS's song, desperately craving love despite being pushed aside and colliding, overlaps with the image of youth that does not know surrender. Despite being torn and suffering, the recklessness of running towards the end is beautiful only because it is now. It cannot be said to be happy, but like wildflowers blooming in barrenness, it is pitifully beautiful. This is precisely the 'HYYH' that BTS wants to convey.
