Begins ≠ Youth Watch Along Series? Let's plan it!

Hi Borasky!

We can use the #borahour hashtag/account/feed for all kinds of community watch-alongs, and first up we have @staygold613.bsky.social who would like to organize a watch party for the BTS Universe miniseries Begins ≠ Youth. Unfortunately, the show was acquired from the original production house by a Web 3.0 company for distribution, so it was not aired on a platform many people had access to. Luckily we do have high quality files to watch it with English subs!

Begins ≠ Youth

Begins ≠ Youth (Korean: 비긴즈유스) is a 2024 South Korean drama television series based on the BTS Universe, starring Seo Ji-hoon, Noh Jong-hyun, Ahn Ji-ho, Seo Young-joo, Kim Yoon-woo, Jung Woo-jin, and Jeon Jin-seo. It was released on Xclusive from April 30, to May 14, 2024, every Tuesday at 16:00 (KST).

BEGINS ≠ YOUTH is a 12 episode drama based on the fictional story first introduced in BTS' 'The Most Beautiful Moment in Life' (aka Hwa Yong Yeon Hwa/HYYH) era. The recently released 'Merry Go Round' MV included references to the HYYH storyline and that inspired us to organize this web drama group watch. Those familiar with the Bangtan Universe know the content is heavy, but the bond between the 7 boys is beautiful and heartwarming.

So, how will this group watch work? In the same way the virtual watch of playlists during recent Borahours has worked, we will watch episodes at a designated date/time via links provided beforehand and use the #borahour hashtag for discussion. The runtime is between 60-70 minutes per episode. (Note: Episodes will be available for a week afterwards in case you are unable to join the live watch.)

Some questions to help us organize:

What time zone will you be watching from?

(the -DT is for daylight saving time)

What day/time works best for you?

How often would you like to watch?

When would you want to start the drama watch?

Comments for scheduling are welcome on this blogpost as well as on the main atmosphere post. Borahae!
