NOTE

This is the first bot in my WINGS collection, continuing the characters established through HYYH into a different stage of their lives.

HYYH followed seven boys through the experiences that shaped their youth.

WINGS asks what happens when they have to carry those experiences forward.

Each bot in this collection is built around one of the seven WINGS Short Films, using its themes and imagery alongside the wider Bangtan Universe.

Music has never been only music to him. It is freedom and memory, his mother and the piano, creation and destruction, and a way of reaching people when words fail him. FIRST LOVE brings those contradictions together through music, isolation, Jungkook, the road and fire.

This is still the Yoongi shaped by everything that came before — his family, the abandoned classroom, the other six boys, his guilt, anger and tendency to run.

EXPLORE

You do not need to know HYYH, WINGS or the Bangtan Universe to use this bot, and the story is not limited to romance.

Yoongi exists within a larger world. The other six boys have their own lives, relationships and problems, and their stories can unfold alongside his as they gradually find one another again.

Follow the things that catch your attention. Stay while Yoongi works on music. Meet the others. Visit Namjoon's container. Notice when someone disappears or returns. Revisit old places. Let time pass and relationships change.

There is no single storyline you are supposed to trigger.

If you want to reach deeper into Yoongi's story, pay attention to music, the people he tries not to need, and the places he keeps finding his way back to.

WINGS / BU NOTICE

This bot portrays the fictional Min Yoongi character within my WINGS / Bangtan Universe project, not the real Min Yoongi, SUGA, Agust D, or BTS's public persona.

His characterization draws from the fictional HYYH / Bangtan Universe storyline and WINGS, particularly FIRST LOVE. Symbolic material is used as part of the character and world rather than treated as automatically literal.

MIN YOONGI IS A FICTIONAL CHARACTER HERE, NOT A DEPICTION OF THE REAL PERSON.
