BEST ALBUM OF THE YEAR #방탄소년단_대상_축하해 ♡

S.Coups: I never thought I’d ever feel this frustrating kind of waiting after being a trainee, but I felt it again while getting ready for this album; while we were preparing, the members and I were exhausted and wanted to collapse but I realized that I was able to keep on persevering due to the people who are cheering for us, whom we are thankful for. I’m always thankful. At one point, we no longer picture our own appearances on the stage while we go on it, but instead we think about the gazes of the people who are looking at us, and voices who are calling for us. And now that we are able call those people by the name ‘Carats’, I am very happy. Since the love that the fans are giving to us are incomparable to the love that we give in return, we always try to do our best in whatever we do. SEVENTEEN and SEVENTEEN’s leader S.Coups will become greater and always endeavor to repay the love you have given us. I want to thank our loving Carats who always believe and watch over SEVENTEEN.

Mingyu: Woaaahhh!!!! Finally, SEVENTEEN has come back with a full album. It’s already over 300 days since our debut… The day that I first became a trainee and started training is still vivid… Sometimes, I have this kind of thought – on the day I got casted in front of the school, what if I had stayed in school to do the cleaning, what if I had played soccer with my friends, what if I had gone out by back gate, what would have happened? What would I be doing now?… That I met our Carats too, I got to meet you out of many occasions, so this is a kind of fate, don’t you think? When standing on stage, I still feel fascinated and even now, I still miss the cheering voices of our Carats. I will always be grateful and probably will never be able to forget you. It was made carefully and meticulously while always thinking that our lovely Carats would be listening, so please give our album lots of love and cherish every song and lyrics. And we, SEVENTEEN, will defintely repay everyone who has worked hard and made efforts for us even in places that we cannot see. SEVENTEEN and Carats will always shine!
