Only 60 more minutes to go for @BTS_twt's press conference!

Reality has now begun to catch up with me. Hi there!

Just a couple more minutes to go. You can catch all updates (as fast as my fingers allow me) of the @BTS_twt press conference here.

Now, let's shine through this morning/night with a little funk and soul~

#BTS #Dynamite #BTS_Dynamite #BTS1onHot100

Annnnnnnnd it's begun!

The members are seated, and are looking classy as ever. But then again, when have they not?

Grins from ear to ear. They're glowing!

V begins by warmly thanking the press for tuning in. He warmly recalls how they're back after the release of #Dynamite with exciting news. Jin also thanks the #ARMY while welcoming the press.

J-Hope adds that this feat still feels like a dream... He goes on to say that this is such an honor for us. It is the energy from the fans that motivated them.

He adds that this love and energy is what allowed BTS to be who they are and for J-Hope to be who he is.

RM: I never thought we would ever have this sort of conference...

While feeling nostalgic, he said he wanted to preserve his emotions. "I think my contribution to this accomplishment is very small," he says. He goes on to thank the ARMY, the songwriters, the press...

Jungkook thanked his parents for giving birth to him and went on to thank the ARMY.

(This is so warm and adorable. Did I mention that the seven are absolutely glowing?)

V is taking us down memory lane. (TT)

He recalls how they were once cheated by a taxi driver when they first started out, to which the other members laugh. He reiterates that these have all become such cherished memories.

ARMYS, we have our next goal!

SUGA: All of our goals have become reality.

He goes on to say that earlier this year, they performed a collaborative stage at the Grammy's. Now he hopes that they perform as BTS at the Grammy's.

Suga had also mentioned, while beaming, that he now feels like he has to be careful of what to say while talking about future goals.

To him, the fact that so many people listened and got joy from #Dynamite gives him more happiness than this feat itself.

Jimin: When I saw (this achievement), the first thing I wanted to do was meet the ARMY. To perform in front of our fans.

RM on #Dynamite: Sometimes the simpler message is what really comes across.

Jungkook, Jimin add that the Noh Hong-chul parody moves that they pulled off were not planned. They thought it was funny, and are glad that everyone liked it when it came out.

V urges Jimin to act out one of the moves, to which he obliges. Jimin says, "It's the eyebrows."

What J-Hope would say to himself from seven years ago:

This J-Hope is someone who worked really hard... All the other members are very precious to me. These are people who have become a major reason of my life and existence. Thank you for being with me for these seven years.

Suga talks about the hobbies they've picked up. He says that a few members have started to work out, to which Jin, Jimin and Jungkook start clasping RM's arms.

RM's definitely bulking up.

RM talks about their future direction, and how they hope to perform and get nominated at the Grammy's. He also talks about working on their new album.

He says that they will always give it their best. "We will be as BTS as we can."

The conference is coming to a close. The members are sharing warm thank you notes. For the 1,000th time today, they are glowing. Smiles are being shared. Suga, with his glasses on, thanks the press with his signature smile.

Jin hopes that we meet face to face one day. J-Hope urges everyone to stay safe and wear masks. The members give one final farewell together. And the conference has come to an end.

(Will add to this thread what I missed out on. I'm sorry my typing speed's not up to the mark. )
