after the show was aired, this is the most number of calls ive received since we debuted.
when i took a look at the screenshots and article titles (people sent to me), there were quite a few lot of provocative and partially interpreted keywords in them such as disband, hiatus, big announcement, etc. its not like we didnt know this will take place nor that we didnt prepare for this but indeed it feels bitter. its not that i was expecting you to watch the entire video where we cry and express everything.
be it a type of an irregular content such as bangtan 'company dinner', or the symbolism of june 13th, the date it was aired itself. that video was completely dedicated to all the armys who have been together with us through the past 9 years. of course, there will be reactions from outsiders saying that were making a fuss, were talking highly and mighty, etc... but to just say that "wouldnt any other artist or fandom say the same thing", theres definitely something special that exists only between BTS and ARMY as much as the contents weve released through the time of almost 10 years that weve been running without a stop.
this feeling is a question that weve received countless times through the interviews so far, but for some reason it is quite difficult to describe in a few words and i find it hard too.
anyways, that was a confession (of love) and confession (of sin) that we had to make to all our fans who have been communicating with us so far without putting a value on that specialty. though those who watched the video will understand, that just as the song title 'yet to come' suggests, its true that what we genuinely wanted to say is that now is not the end. and since only the part where i sob was screenshotted and keeps spreading everywhere (with no context), i also wonder if i was carried away under the influence of alcohol for no reason, indeed, it looks like the courage to be honest always ends up in unnecessary misunderstandings and creates disaster.
what i wanted to say is that were 2 (individual + group), but we didnt twist our words and speak as 1. we spoke 1 as 1, and we only shared all those sentiments that poured out in the process of that through courage and tears. i believe that if you are armys who know us, you will be generous enough to understand that and not once i will doubt that.
what we said in the video is everything. though jungkook or taehyung already explained it well and through vlive, weve always been open about the long-term future of BTS. though there werent times we didnt quarrel and be sulky, i believe that its the trial and error to mature into an adult starting from the social life of our early 10s-20s.
though im afraid that this post will be yet another mess.. or be an act that will fuel the fire of all the existing noises, as the concerned person who spoke the most, i (came to) briefly talk about the main points.
thank you to everyone who watched the video, and sent us good support, love and energy be it from far away or close by. i will continue to work hard to show you better sides as at team and has as individual as well. thank you.
