The BTS Extended Universe continues to grow.
BTS has a webtoon called Save Me about seven boys whose paths are intertwined. They’ve drifted apart throughout the years and have met tragic fates, but one of them is given a chance to go back in time to save his friends. That concept—along with other BTS songs—is now being adapted into a new television series, titled Begins Youth.
Fans have noticed the parallels between Begins Youth and the ‘Spring Day’ music video of BTS. This isn’t a coincidence, because the K-drama is based on the BTS Universe seen through the group’s music videos.
Trailer
The official trailer for Begins Youth has finally been released. The drama is produced by Hybe Labels, but it won’t have BTS starring in the main roles. The K-drama will star previously unknown actors, but you’ll know who their BTS counterparts are based on the trailer.
