what a writer can learn from BTS's HYYH.

Big Hit is crazy.
No, the creative producers there are crazy.
We don't know the ACTUAL storyline yet (because there's zero explanation to us from them) but they could managed a confusing storyline for I NEED U and RUN M/V, and made us (ARMYs) think a lot about the storyline.

We came up with several theories, which was all make sense, and before we could confirm who's theory is true, Big Hit came and RUINED IT ALL with RUN M/V.

Laughing out loud; this situation is laugh-able, to be honest.

Who is dead? Jin or the rest of BTS?
Who is the man who stabbed by Taehyung?
Why Jungkook punched Yoongi?
Why Jimin drowned himself? What did he read in I NEED U M/V?
Why Hoseok overdosed himself?
Why Yoongi set the fire?
Why Namjoon wrote 'you need to survive' in the mirror?
Why Taehyung jumped to the sea? Why he got a scene in the water in RUN?
Where is Jin on the polaroid picture held by Jimin in the end of M/V?
Why Big Hit deleted the last scene from Prologue?
Where is Yoongi on the polaroid picture held by Jin in the end of Prologue?

The questions above are not even half of our questions.

Some of creative ARMYs were writing theories, and those theories were not based on nothing. They actually searched the base for their theories, and their source were no jokes.
Several bed-time stories come up, a deep thought about the back song Big Hit use in the Prologue, and even a Chinese philosophy.

Well, I'm not saying that ARMYs didn't do an astonishingly and amazingly good job, but those Big Hit's creative producers are the geniuses one in the first place.
They made us THINK, and if we think more about it, there would be another theory come up, and when we try to connect it with the videos, there would be another one!

Basically, I believed, the main storyline itself is a simple one. Maybe a great idea in general. But the general idea itself is the problem. It can creates an ENDLESS storyline, if we want to take a moment and seriously think about it.
We can jump into conclusion A, because it matches the video. But we can jump into conclusion B because, for example, the relationship between Namjoon and Taehyung is unknown. And conclusion C is make sense as well, because the whole videos (In The Mood For Love, I NEED U, Prologue, Nevermind, and RUN) is, probably, connected. And if we want to connect the photo teasers as well, we might find conclusion D.

How can a person come up with such a genius idea? I don't know.
I did read the theories, and I was confused as hell when they released RUN M/V.

So, like the title said, what can a writer learn from this?
The idea. The plot. The confusing storyline. The feromones that can make us interested and think about it all day.

Let's not talk about who's dead, lol. I don't know either. I will stick with the theory that said Jin was the one who still alive, because I don't feel right with Jin's death. Something is missing, but I don't know what.

Actually, the one that makes us interested is the actors, lol. We love Bangtan, we could do everything for them, so that's why we could came out with amazing theories.

The point is, how we create something that can attract many people. In BTS' case, well, they are idols, so it won't be difficult.
But for writers, we need to think about a unique story, a different one, so readers will interested and they will buy our book. This HYYH storyline is a great one of we want to make a serial novel.

Then how we create a unique story like that?
By reading. Read everything. Don't just read the genre you like. Just like in this case; who could tell that the actual plot is taken from Chinese philosophy or by Peter Pan's Neverland?
Well, HYYH is a good thing to be picked as an example.



So, this is the end of the post. I hope ppl don't judge my grammar, lol, I'm still learning.

Tell me what you think!
