Graphic Lyrics: House of Cards

The 'House of Cards' Graphic Lyrics Books is part of the "함께라면 웃을 수 있다" series. This specific book details Jungkook and Yoongi's journey and relationship using the "House of Cards" song composed by BTS. It was announced on June 24, 2020 to be released on June 29, 2020. It was illustrated by Joseph Park.

Style
It plays with the concept of a vertical portrait, as pages in the book flips upwards or downwards. Both pages vertically form a large picture. The illustrator makes use of the concept to represent both characters "falling" or stretching out the anguish that both Yoongi and Jungkook experience. Jungkook climbing towards the long piano to reach a sitting Yoongi, for example, may indicate a long winding path to attain happiness on both characters. Yoongi falling behind the moon cycles is also meant to evoke in the readers the feeling of "falling" as the pages stretch. It is also used in making the characters feel small as the objects surrounding them are large.



Music
"House of Cards" by BTS, written by Bighit Entertainment, was heavily utilised in the graphic lyrics book. The story correlates well with the 'House of Cards' lyrics. The fear of a relationship collapsing may be reflected in Yoongi and Jungkook's relationship, where both characters has experienced numerous fallouts with others and between themselves. Yoongi cutting off contact with Jungkook is a common occurrence throughout the canon content, such as in the Save Me Webtoon and the HYYH The Notes 1, where fear stems to form an inevitable end. Both also have strained relationships with their families.

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.
