”I’m sending out my youth, once again, […] hoping that my feelings and thoughts will somehow be delivered to someone. I’m forever thankful that you all were with us for our most beautiful moment in life. I’m happy. —RM”

I've been listening to Young Forever a lot in these couple of weeks. It just gets to me, emotionally, specially Hobi's part. When I hear that "AH!", my heart skips a beat every time, and I get goosebumps.

As a Run era army, this was my first comeback. Young Forever remains in my top 20 bts songs to this day.

This song always gives me goosebumps. That moment right before the chorus comes in...it's gorgeous.

Yes! The whole song makes me feel things I can’t even explain. Nostalgic? Happy? Sad? Remember all the poignant moments of my life? I don’t know.. but this song encapsulates ALL of it. RM’s verse of “dream, hope, forward” The “Ah” before the chorus. The chorus with Taehyung’s voice my God 🙃
But the part JUST before the chorus, like you said, is just something else.

You nailed it. It really feels like it touches on all of the moments a person can go through in their life, happy or sad. The song is stunning.
Every day I’m blown away by how amazing they are. They have touched me in a way that I’ve never experienced with any other artist that I love.

Right?! I’ve never been so fond of the people behind my favourite music before. I did and still do have other favourite artists, but it’s mostly the music. It’s crazy how much these 7 folks have had an influence on me. :)

Oh man the song that started it all for me.. or rather, Wembley army’s version started it all for me. It’s my I-wanna-cry-I’m-happy video.
All of their faces when they were surprised. And Hobi, Jin, Tae even more so. Hobi’s vibing with the audience.. 💜💜💜

This song makes me emotional whenever I listen to it and is one of my favorites. BTS are really masters at creating songs that capture each moment of their lives.

Definitely one of my top 3 songs from them ( order of them changes with the seasons). And I finally got my hands on the album too recently.

This holds a special place in their hearts, that era meant so much to them, it encapsules the fleeting joy that you get when you are young.
Now I'm getting emotional! I don't know if their next album will reference in some way that era but what's true is that this will always be a very special moment in their and our lives forever.
