Hwa Yang Yeon Hwa

Hwa Yang Yeon Hwa, or HYYH, is the romanisation of the original Chinese expression “花樣年華” and the equivalent of the Korean “화양연화”. The original expression literally translates to “the age of blossoms”, but a more accurate definition would be “golden years” - referring to a memory or time period in life which felt perfect and dream-like.

The expression is now most commonly used in relation to BTS’ 2015-2016 album and habitually abbreviated to “HYYH”, whose title they translated to “The Most Beautiful Moment In Life” to communicate this sentiment. They use the expression to describe the bright happiness and excitement of young adulthood, including growing up, becoming independent, finding forever friends and discovering oneself, as well as falling in love.

“I loved BTS’ Hwa Yang Yeon Hwa Part 1! I Need U was my favourite track.”
“Same, such a good album! I love how they used a traditional Chinese expression to convey their feelings of nostalgic bliss. They really put their whole selves into their music!”
