Graphic Lyrics: Run

The 'Run' Graphic Lyrics Books is part of the "함께라면 웃을 수 있다" series. This specific book details Taehyung and Namjoon's journey and relationship using the "Run" song composed by BTS. It was announced on June 24, 2020 to be released on June 29, 2020. It was illustrated by Choi Jiwook.

Style
It plays with the concept of an extended horizontal format, as the right-hand pages fold out to endlessly to extend the two boys’ footsteps visually, the pictures expressing their determination to make their dream come true as well as their unwavering relationship. An example of the usage is the scatter of riches that Namjoon wishes to experience and may also symbolise the long hours of work. The concept is also used as a way to show Taehyung and Namjoon's dynamics in their relationship, where the ending shows them together, sharing dreams.



Music
"RUN" by BTS, with credits to RM, SUGA, j-hope, V, jungkook, as well as others, was heavily utilised in the graphic lyrics book. The story correlates well with the 'Run' lyrics. Taehyung and Namjoon share similarities where they wish to run from the current situations they have been thrusted in. Taehyung, who lives in a domestic abuse household and Namjoon, whose family relies on him entirely for financial aid. It correlates with them, thus, the wish to run from responsibilities. In HYYH The Notes 2, this issue was briefly addressed.

Canon Connection
The canon connection in the book makes the Graphic Lyrics to be considered canon. These events have been reflected in HYYH The Notes 1, 2, the album booklets, the game as well as the comic.
