Hello

It is my last birthday in my twenties. Though I am not sure if it’s because of my professional characteristics, but it feels that a bit of shyness that accompanies the day that is called "birthday." even though i believe that its just a day that isn't too big of a deal in my opinion.. i yet feel so happy and blessed that so many people send their sincerest wishes.

From time to time, i think that love is something that gives and creates a name to someone. to where Kim Namjoon becomes ‘Kim Namjoon’. and it is all because of you, even although it is just one day out of the many 365 days in a year, 29 year old me isn’t just a day that is passing by.

Except I want to be a person who can be as honest as one can be, i wonder, to what extent exactly, could the existence of the untouchable and palpable of a relationship between fans and the artists that possibly go beyond and reach up to.

Can everything just be accepted under some kind of phantasm that is called love? I am still experiencing times where expressing my inner thoughts honestly becomes the heel of an Achilles, and then honesty becomes a wound, but i am still not so sure.

I had said in the past that i was sad and that it was growing harder for me to talk about things. I feel that statement still stands true however. but however, i have grown calmer. because i received so much sincerity that one may or may not receive in one’s life in the form of cloudbursting downpour.

I regarded despondency and futility to be cool, but i realized that i am also someone who is optimistic and positive. isn't that a miracle? lately I've been living with the phrase, ‘why not?’. i want to live by sharing the optimism that i have received from the people around me. and I am also pressing down and holding onto my next songs that will be released someday. yes. But could I show honesty in a more beautiful method other than with music? It's a truth everyone knows but it feels as if it's still not enough.

And that is why I sometimes wonder if i became BTS because of this. because i wanted to do so in various ways. whether it be through programs, interview, or dance, whatever it may be.. how blessed of a life this has become. and wherever i am, these things make me want to see it clearly with my own two eyes and reflect on. they say its destiny when things coincidentally overlap but they also say coincidence is also fate disguised as serendipity.

However, i think that is of a similar reason to why I'm writing this letter to you. it feels as if i would have written this letter in September of 2023, regardless of which version of me i would have been. every time, my birthday letter is describing the place that i have arrived at but done in different languages of love each time. because of all of you, i am living really well. i want to live well. i just want to tell you every time, that i am loving you with the best version of myself.

However else, i cannot hug each and every one of you and with that, my heart transcends with those feelings. no matter what appearance i may take, i wont ask for you to love me. but i will put in the effort that reflects all of the love I have received.

The last birthday inside my twenties is going smoothly simply like this. let us be healthy and happy for a long time, no matter what sky we’re under. Let's meet again after some time passes. sincerely wishing you an early, if not a belated, happy birthday to you as well! thank you.

Hello, to everyone I love dearly.

I proffer you a hello at the tail ending of 2022.

Tomorrow will mark the 15th year since i started creating music, while in the last month of being in my 20s, my first album is set to be released soon.

There are a lot of complicated thoughts tangled/tangling inside my mind, but one thought of all the work i have done, my previous and the current works of mine, was to release this one album, that's the only thing that is being repeated inside my mind all this time.

First of all, thank you all so much. With the trust that so many have noticed/become aware and caught on to my trivial but earnestness of mine. I was able to become more brave and be able to blend music truthfully with the languages that are close to my heart in the current shaping.

I am so / i am really lucky

In all my honesty, i didn't have any thought/could not decide on what song i wanted for the title track. all the songs i have created are equally important to me, seriously.

In the current era of streaming, I feel nervous and a little frightened to have a 4 minute and 33 second song that is only korean/hangul written in its title. But none of the songs were intended to cause any hype or noise from the very beginning! (i really mean it)

Just like ID, an archive [of rkive] i think it is going to be enough if these songs are recorded and bloom inside the minds of many people and their heart. with their everlasting same scent they always had before even after time passes through.

Some of you might have found it a little strange and odd that i had so many other artists participate in my first solo album, but however this album is an album like no other but more like an art exhibit that i curated myself. if you could / but you once look and hear my harmony with them, you will be able to understand the frequencies of the wavelenths created by all the people who participated are irreplaceaable / could not be replaced. they were all my first priority and number one artists that i always wanted to work with and recruit!

I, above all, more than anything, i sincerely owe all of them my time, my debt, hours, months and even years of my life. I have always wanted to become a person like that as well to someone else.

I have already made and recorded so much content and as the release is nearing, i am in the state of feeling alone and empty, so i am home drinking with myself but... as like it was 10 years ago, i am trying my hardest not to doubt that sincerity will be of sincere and with love will surely reach as such love.

Although, i did not plan or design it out fully from the beginning like i did with MONO, like the description states "10 blues included", when you lay down and spread them out, they become so beautiful and so many diverse shades of indigo that were hidden within inside me. so please, i request that you will listen to the (songs) in order.

As i am planning on unfolding this album with loads of my own content that i have thought of since long before now,. it would really be nice if everyone likes the album. but i am still trying to keep my mind set to calm when i thinking if nobody does like it. with the attitude of "well if not, what about it then?" but with the confidence of believing that there is one / there is someone else who shares those blues that pleases you out of ten blues. i will see you all tomorrow.

With these same old expressions, the same gestures but in a more organized way made in wavelengths of frequencies, i send you my words in a letter and i would be grateful if you receive it all dearly.

Wishing and hoping that all of these songs will not be some reckless bravado boldness but with the same courage you all have given to me

핫가이네

he is/you are a hot guy

방송이 나가고 연락을 데뷔 이래 가장 많이 받았습니다.

보내주신 캡쳐들과 기사 제목들을 보니 해체라던가 활동 중단, 선언.. 등의 자극적이고 단면적인 키워드들이 참 많더라고요. 이럴 줄 몰랐던 것도 아니고 각오하지 않은 것도 아니지만 역시나 참 씁쓸합니다. 저희가 울고 짜는 방송까지 풀로 시청해주시고 의견을 남겨주시길 바라는 것도 아니었지만..

방탄 '회식'이라는 비정기적인 컨텐츠 형식도 그렇고, 방송이 나간 6월 13일이라는 날짜 자체의 상징성도 그렇고 오롯이 그동안 9년간 함께해주신 모든 아미분들께 헌정하는 영상이었습니다. 바깥에선 유난 떤다, 배부른 소리 한다 등의 반응도 당연히 있을 수 있겠지만.. 어느 가수와 팬덤이 그렇지 않겠냐만은 저희도 10년에 가까운 이례적인 시간을 멈춤없이 공유해온만큼 방탄과 아미만의 특별함이 분명히 존재합니다.

이 정서는 그동안 인터뷰에서 수십 수백 번도 더 받았던 질문이지만 참 무어라 말 몇마디로 형언하기가 어렵고 힘이 듭니다. 무튼 그 특별함을 아무런 댓가없이 여태 교감해온 모든 팬분들께 하고싶은 고백이자 고해성사였습니다. 영상을 보신 분들은 알겠지만 'Yet To Come'이라는 노래 제목이 시사하듯 저희가 진실로 말하고 싶었던 것은 절대로 지금이 끝이 아니라는 사실이었습니다. 제가 오열하는 장면만 캡쳐가 되고 계속 재확산이 돼서 역시나 괜한 객기를 부렸나 싶은 생각도 듭니다. 솔직하고 싶은 용기는 역시 언제나 불필요한 오해와 화를 부르는 것 같습니다. 말씀드리고 싶은 것은, 저희는 사실 2인데 1로 돌려말한 것이 아닙니다. 1을 1로써 얘기하고 그 과정에 있었던 모든 정서들을 용기와 눈물로 공유하고 싶었을 뿐입니다. 저희를 아는 아미분들이라면 너른 이해를 해주실거라 믿어 의심치 않습니다. 영상에서 저희가 말한 것이 전부입니다.

정국이나 태형이가 또 브이앱으로 잘 얘기해주었지만, 저희는 늘 방탄소년단의 장기적인 미래에 대해 터놓고 얘기해왔습니다. 다투고 토라졌던 적이 없지 않지만, 10-20대 어린 나이에 사회생활을 시작해 어른으로 성숙해가는 서투른 시행착오라고 믿습니다. 이 글이 또 한번의 유난이나.. 노이즈들에 기름을 붓는 꼴이 될까봐 두렵지만 가장 많은 이야기를 했던 당사자로서 간략하게 말씀을 드립니다. 영상을 시청해주시고, 멀리서든 가까이서든 좋은 응원과 사랑, 에너지를 보내주시는 모든 분들께 감사합니다. 앞으로 팀으로든 개인으로든 좋은 모습 보여드리려 노력하겠습니다.

감사합니다.

After the anniversary dinner video was released, i received the most calls I have ever gotten since I've debuted

Seeing the screenshots and article titles that i saw there were quite a lot of provocative and one sided, discriminatory. it’s not as if i didn’t know that this might happen or that i didn’t prepare for this, but i feel quite ill-disposed/bitter. it’s not as if we hoped that they would leave opinions after fully watching the show where we cried and said some things.. Bangtan's ‘Dinner’ is a casual form of content, and with the symbolism behind the date the show was released, June 13 – this video was soley dedicated for ARMYs who were together with us for past 9 years. though of course there might have been reactions from the outsiders who overreacted and who exaggerated and say we think too highly of ourselves.. but what kind of singers and fans wouldn’t have (after all those years) there’s something rare and special between the relationship with ARMYs and Bangtan due to what we’ve endlessly shared for almost 10 years time. though this question about our emotions/sentiments towards our fans, was asked countless amount of times during interviews, it’s something that is really difficult and hard to express in words. anyways, it was a confession that was wanting to be said for all the fans who have been with us until now without asking for anything in return. those who watched the video knows, but the title of the song, ‘Yet to Come’, is as implied, where we honestly wanted to say that now is not the end. screenshots of the scene where i was in tears started spreading around, so i wondered whether or not i shared something i shouldn’t have been brave enough to share. it seems that having the courage of wanting to be honest always creates unnecessary misunderstandings and calls for anger.. what i wanted to say was that we’re not trying to say that “1” is “2” we’re saying ‘1’ is ‘1,’ and we just wanted to share all our emotions that we experienced during the process, with our courage and tears. if it is ARMYs who know us, i have no doubt that you will understand what we say. what we said in the video is all we said.

Jungkook and Taehyung might have mentioned on Vlive well, but we’ve always freely expressed facts regarding BTS’ long term future. though there were times where we’ve quarreled or sulked, but i believe that it was a clumsy errors and trials as 10-20 year olds growing into adults while starting our social life. Though i am scared that these words may become another big deal.. or if it will be as if i poured gas into the flames of a fire, i will briefly give these words as the person who talked the most. thank you to everyone who watched the video and sent good cheers, love, and energy, whether it be from afar or close. we’ll work hard moving forward to show you good sides of us whether it be as a team or individuality.

thank you.
