About BTS First Webtoon: Save Me
Previously, Naver collaborated with BTS in January 2019 to release BTS first-ever Webtoon with the title, “The Most Beautiful Moment in Life Pt.0: Save Me”.
Furthermore, the “Save Me” webtoon tells about BTS being in an alternate universe with the main character, Kim Seok Jin, trapped in a time loop. Kim Seok Jin keeps reliving his life experience starting from April 11 and will only be able to escape the curse after he saves all his six best friends from their horrible fates.

Seven boys. Best friends. Their fates intertwined through the good times together, but also the tough times. One will do anything to save them, but can he? #BU_Official #SAVEME #BTS

BTS Webtoon to Return with a Fresh Storyline
Unlike the previous project, this time, BTS Webtoon will return with a fresh storyline. As mentioned by Naver Webtoon CEO, Naver and HYBE webtoon collaboration will involve stories about various HYBE artists, including BTS, TXT, ENHYPEN, NU’EST, Seventeen, ZICO, etc.
Indeed, there is yet an exact statement regarding the whole storyline. However, it is highly possible that BTS and other artists’ webtoons will be about their development story as an artist. Therefore, all the webtoons will have a fresh storyline revolving around the artist as they grow and develop in the entertainment business.
“As we create characters of new worlds together, we will showcase webtoons that have new content and which new users can approach as well.”
Kim Jun Goo, CEO of Naver Webtoon.
