Hosu (based on J-hope and played by Ahn Jo Ho) struggles with abandonment and interest in Youth. He fears getting close to someone as the thought of the other person leaving him never disappears. But Hosu eventually finds his comfort zone in a group of people who never forget to celebrate life’s tiny bits of happiness with him.
Dogeon (RM, played by Seo Young Joo) has had a challenging life. From figuring out how to pay bills early on to always giving up on his dreams due to poverty, Dogeon’s life differs from his friends.
Haru (Jimin, played by Kim Yoon Woo) carries a secret that he can’t tell anyone. The burdening truth weighs his life down, with flashbacks of the incident recurring vividly and occasionally. The trailer reveals Haru’s urge to unearth the truth so his life can move again.
Jooan (V, played by Jung Woo Jin) has one of the most heartwrenching plotlines in Youth. Jooan is a victim of abuse at home as well as in school. Even though he keeps it a secret from everyone, eventually, his friends ask him the truth.
The youngest character in the drama, Jeha (Jungkook, portrayed by Jeon Jin Seo), is losing interest in life as he stands on a busy road and tries to harm himself on another occasion. His friends become his saviors.
BTS’ The Most Beautiful Moment In Life delved deep into the complexities of reaching adulthood and dealing with the uncertainties that it brings. So after a gripping trailer, all eyes are on Youth to see if it can live up to the hype and do justice to the brilliant narrative of the K-pop history makers story.
