Two worlds, one heart — stories that breathe between sound and silence.
This page maps the narrative spine of the ByFolkTong Universe: timelines, recurring symbols, and the people who carry them. It’s a living document — updated as the songs walk on their own.
Universe Timeline
Origin Thread
- If I Go — the seed question: “What if I stop? What if I go?” (Kang Junho)
- One Breath (ลมหายใจเดียวกัน) — philosophical voice of the collective.
- วางเธอไว้กลางหัวใจ — the gentle center; Jeff & Diana’s parallel world begins.
Parallel Expansions
- Ashes on the Breeze — time, dust, and distance; the three-layer sound architecture.
- No Wind Under the Wing (Cho Cho) — independence & discipline; the flagship principle.
- Chill Dance Vol.1 — the warm side of the night drive; anchor for natural flow.
Character Arcs
Jeff & Diana
Two people living in parallel — reality and memory — who choose to meet in silence rather than noise.
- First meeting: the lost child in the underground market (Verse 1 memory).
- Silent nights under the stars (Chorus promise).
- Disappearance & return (Bridge → Final Chorus).
Cho Cho / Cao Cao (Forgetter Mode)
Strategy as poetry: wind, suspicion, and the discipline to act only after seeing all directions.
- Principle: Vision Before Motion.
- Quote: “I just want to fly — without relying on any wind.”
- Flagship arc: No Wind Under the Wing.

Artist’s Note
“Every song is a memory I’ve already lived — I just render it so the world can remember with me.”
Tone guideline: poetic-philosophical, cinematic, calm yet powerful. Use this voice for all future descriptions across platforms.
