WEEK 14 | A Brighter Tomorrow
As 2016, and promotions for The Most Beautiful Moment in Life: Young Forever, continued, BTS was busier than ever. They continued to explore the VLIVE experience and have fun interacting with ARMY. This week we’ll explore the unique parts of HYYH: Young Forever with remixes of previous songs, more live performances, and the group’s iconic FIRST ever Daesang win.
WEEK 13 | Raise Your Voice
The Most Beautiful Moment in Life: Young Forever, is the culmination of the HYYH era. Largely a compilation album, it contains all of the tracks from the first two albums, but also four new songs. BTS jumped off the cliff, unfurled their wings, and now it’s time to see where they land.

We not only waited out the enlistment days and cursed black-hat cameramen, we also celebrated personal milestones, shared hospital updates, held space for each other when life was heavy, and rejoiced in each others’ successes.
