‘Youth’ contains a plot that shows seven boys who carry their pain and secrets as they come together and help each other deal with it amid the highs and lows.
Seo Young-Joo (RM) is a mature guy from a not-so-well-to-do family. He works part-time but scores well in his academics.
Seo Ji-Hoon (Jin) is blessed with good looks, and his father is a National Assembly member. He is transferred to a new school where he meets the other six members.
Ro Jong-Hyun (Suga) is the quiet one but is accused of rumours that he set his house on fire and killed his mother. He is only able to find peace by playing the piano. It is his friends who help him deal with the childhood trauma.
Jeon Jin-Seo (Jungkook) lives with an insecure family and helps Ro Jong-Hyun by becoming his aide who never judges.
Jung Woo-Jin (V) lives with his father who often played with him but turned alcoholic after his mother left them.
Kim Yoon-Woo (Jimin) has an infectious smile but struggles with his identity due to childhood trauma.
Ahn Ji-Ho (J-hope) loves dancing and was abandoned at the amusement park. Despite all the trials and tribulations, he is always energetic and brings a positive vibe.
The plot of this K-drama will touch on their mental health and how the pressures led them to want a disbandment in 2018. It will also show how J-hope wanted to quit even before the band was formed and how Jungkook’s speech changed his mind. Besides that, the drama will also allow the audience to re-live historic moments like the world tour and scoring a Guinness World Record.
