hello armys, its jimin here. how are you all wrapping up the year 2022? our elders always say it, but im starting to believe it more & more as the years go by. it really feels like this year went by quickly, leaving behind regret for how it couldve gone. well, it was certainly a year where we didnt get to see you very often, right? but as quickly as the year flew by, it was a busy one. nearing the end of covid, we finally got to gather with you to smile, cry, and be happy together. we released our album, went on music shows. we were able to have this huge performance in busan, back in my hometown, and we got to see hoseok-hyung and namjoon-hyung release their albums, as well as their well-prepared performances that followed. our seokjin-hyung even went to the military. hehe this year, i started to work on music for the first time and met other writers. this year definitely kept me busy, working on things here and there but still... how should i describe it [i keep getting] a glimpse? just a hint? of [how things were before] all i want is for all of us to be in one space, wherever you are, singing together seeing you all waving your army bombs, listening to you all singing along seeing you smile and laugh. its that memory that i keep looking back on (sigh). maybe its because it still feels like we havent had enough time together for some reason, its harder this year to write down what im thinking. dont really know what im saying anymore. i didnt want to give you any cause for concern nor did i want to keep you waiting and its with that feeling sorry, feeling thankful, missing you and making a promise to do even better [next year] that im waving goodbye to this year. wishing you all many blessings this new year ! this year, please be safe, dont get sick, be happy and ill say it again, be happy i love you, and i love you 💜

sincerely, jimin hehe
