“WE ARE SO BACK”— Fans speculate link between BTS' Jin’s upcoming ‘HAPPY’ album and the group’s HYYH era over Smeraldo Flower account IG update

On Wednesday, October 16, BTS' Jin’s upcoming solo album HAPPY made headlines once again as Smeraldo Flower’s Instagram account became active after a long break. The account's latest update followed its last post in May 2022. In the latest post, the Smeraldo Flower account shared a picture of flowers with a text message on it.

“Thank you for your purchase.”

The Smeraldo flower first emerged in 2017, one month prior to the release of LOVE YOURSELF 'HER,' when BTS' Jin tweeted the term "Smeraldo" accompanied by an image of himself with a bouquet of the flower. It offers the mythology and historical context pertaining to the mythical smeraldo flower, which is featured in the BU (Bangtan Universe).

The BU was first designated as the HYYH series, and the fandom frequently alludes to the BU as HYYH. For those unaware, HYYH is an acronym for "Hwa Yang Yeon Hwa," loosely translated as "The Most Beautiful Moment in Life." The BU storyline was introduced in the HYYH series, and BTS subsequently began to incorporate their characters into their music videos and other video content.

Following its appearance in 2017, the Smeraldo Flower account became active again ahead of Kim Seokjin’s HAPPY album release. Fans of BTS' Jin became intrigued by the activity on the Smeraldo Flower account. Therefore, fans speculated some connection between the HYYH era and the idol’s upcoming album HAPPY. One fan on X tweeted:

“WE ARE SO BACK.”

Several other mixed responses from BTS' Jin's fans were seen on the internet. Many admirers commented about the theory of HYYH’s comeback.

“Woooaaahhhhhh.... I read this theory somewhere that hyyh era will come back on its 10th anniversary,” commented a fan.

“The Flower Smeraldo IG account is suddenly active??? Right before Seokjin's comeback??? What do you mean "Thank you for your purchase"??????? What is happening OH MY GODD??” wrote another fan.

“HYYH you'll forever be relevant and watch me connect every dot,” stated an admirer.

One suggested that BTS' Jin’s new album HAPPY might be the opening story for the continuation of Bangtan Universe. Another fan attempted to connect the dots, pointing out that next year marks the tenth anniversary of HYYH and that BTS' reunion is also scheduled for 2025, which might lead to something bigger.

“what if Happy is the opening story for the continuation of Bangtan Universe?? because, you know, Seokjin and that flower are important in hyyh...,” expressed another user on X.

“Okay so this account came online now. Right after HAPPY was announced. We all know how Jin is the one that keeps saving them in hyyh. HYYH??? 2025 is right around the corner. Hyyh 10th Anniversary. 2025??? BTS comeback year. So is HAPPY a transition album to chapter three??” speculated an admirer.

“I mean, JIN is the central of BU so... is it possible that JIN's HAPPY has BU Content???” stated another person.

“oh they’re starting up the hyyh story line with the solos again huh,” mentioned a fan.
