"Spring of Youth" tells the story of SaGye (played by Ha YooJun), the leader of K-Pop’s most popular band The Crown, who has a super positive personality. Due to unfavorable circumstances, he is suddenly removed from the group. He begins his new life as a university student at Hanju University, adjusting from K-Pop idol to a “normal” student.

There, he meets Kim Bom (played by Park JiHu), a music major with a bright personality and has many part-time jobs to earn money. He develops feelings for her due to an unexplainable sense of familiarity.

As SaGye pursues Kim Bom’s attention, he finds himself facing a romantic rival, Seo TaeYang (played by Lee SeungHyub), a medical student who has a passion for music.

In the midst of the chaos in his life, SaGye forms a university band club with Kim Bom, Seo Tae-yang, Kong Jin-gu (played by Kim SunMin), and Bae Kyu-ri (played by Seo HyeWon). Together, friendship and romance begin to bloom.
