With Jimin's iconic orange hair and legendary performances, fans are hoping for the return of the 'king of hyyh era' in BTS's upcoming album

BTS's label recently announced the release of the group's new album titled 'Proof' with'Yet to Come (The Most Beautiful Moment)' as the lead single, set for release on June 10, 2022.

On the announcement of the title track, fans quickly linked the new album's concept to the group's previous 'Hwa Yang Yeon Hwa' (화양연화) or 'The Most Beautiful Moment in Life' era, which lasted from 2015 to 2016 and included three mini-albums namely The Most Beautiful Moment in Life Pt 1, The Most Beautiful Moment in Life Pt 2 and The Most Beautiful Moment in Life: Young Forever.

The idea of BTS going back to this era absolutely thrilled fans as they remembered Jimin from this era. From his look with his signature orange hair to his powerful and captivating vocal and dance performances on stage, Jimin left a mark on everyone's hearts and minds, especially after BTS covered 'Perfect Man' by Shinhwa, and the performance came to be considered one of the most iconic moments in K-pop because of him. BTS even gained lots of recognition from the general public given that they were still very early into their career and they became known as 'the group with the orange-haired guy.'

During this performance of 'Perfect Man,' Jimin took the audience by storm and trended on every existent online platform as 'the orange-haired guy.' It became such a hot topic for days that if you searched 'orange-haired guy' on any site or portal, including Naver, Twitter, YouTube, and Instagram, the search results would only consist of Jimin. His individual fancam from the performance went excessively viral, and he became a legend instantly, as reported by K-media.

The online chatter regarding his performance and his look was practically everywhere, so much so that even he got to know about it, but only talked about it much later in BTS' variety show RUN BTS episode 141 that aired in the year 2021. In this episode, he talks of the nickname he got as 'the legendary orange haired guy.'

For this reason and more, fans considered Jimin as the 'King of the HYYH era' owing to all the attention he got to himself while also drawing in lots of new fans to the group.

Consequently, just after the title of BTS' upcoming single was revealed, fans immediately got talking about Jimin during 'hyyh' era as seen from popular searches on Twitter, fan tweets, and Twitter trends as they portrayed their excitement and anticipation for seeing orange-haired Jimin once again.

Aside from his iconic orange hair and the 'perfect man' cover performance, Jimin also engraved himself in the hearts and minds of fans with yet another performance, as this was also the era where he showcased his rapping abilities. He teamed up with Suga in a sub-unit performance for the song 'Tony Montana' that unfortunately never got a studio version.

However, the song and its performance was so good and fans have always yearned to get a studio version. It showed Jimin's versatility as an artist, and since Jimin never gets a chance to rap in the group's discography, this is like a golden chance for fans that they want to grab with both hands. The thought of another 'hyyh' era got them hoping and talking about the possibility of getting this song in the upcoming album and ended up getting the song to enter twitter trends as well.

'HYYH' era Jimin is indeed legendary in more ways than one, and it is understandable why fans can't keep calm at the thought of the return of Jimin from this era. He completely dominated and and shined in this era in every possible way and he will forever be a icon to be remembered whenever talking of this period of BTS' career.

I admire Jimin so much! This man worked so hard to achieve the goals he wanted. Over and over again he wrestled with himself to get better & every single time he won. His dedication to perfect his dancing skills, unique vocals & to charm his fans with his loving personality is remarkable. He is truly one of the best artists not only in Korea but also the world.
