The timeline is a chronological list of events in the BU, with information primarily taken from the Highlight Reel and the Notes, which are part of the physical package of the albums from the Love Yourself and Map of the Soul series, one set for each album plus a few additional notes uploaded on the official Big Hit Twitter. After the end of the Love Yourself era, a book was released that contained most of the Notes from the three albums, with several entirely new Notes and some changes in the old ones. The purpose of this list is to structure and connect what we canonically know about the BU, without any further interpretations of the story apart from a few deductive notes about what's hidden directly in the text. It's meant to be an aid for those who want to understand what's going on, or want to draw their own conclusions.
