Q: What kind of moments make you feel that the “family” that is BTS is special?

During album recordings and MV shoots, I trust everyone and leave it to them. I trust that they’ll do a decent job, & the end results actually turn out well. No matter who sings before or after me,

they fit it in perfectly. It’s strange but I think that’s the kind of teamwork we have.

We’re also able to divide up each of our roles. Everyone knows what they each should do.

That also goes for our part divisions (in songs). The person who suits the part naturally does it.

We all have different voice qualities, so the individual parts naturally fall into place depending on the song style.

If there’s even the tiniest concern or issue, we tell the person directly.

Even if we carry any concerns towards ourselves, we discuss that as a group.

That’s why I think they get resolved quickly, and our bond thus deepens as well.

“If BTS were a real family, what kind of vibe would you have?”

We would be a peaceful, close-knit family.

Everyone would probably stay at home all the time.

while peeling tangerines (laugh)

We might constantly have a new year’s-holiday kind of atmosphere.

A family in which everyone has similar ages.

Even if we’re not connected by blood, it could be said that we’re a new style of family. We’re a family that spends our lives with each other.

“What if you were an ARMY?”

I would be the ARMY who conquers all the concerts. I would definitely go to every concert if I could! I actually have been going to concerts often from when I was a kid.

I think I would be the same as Suga hyung. I want to go to all the concerts.

I would enjoy the live, screaming “Wahhhh——!”

I would be the type of ARMY that would do anything I could do from home to support them. Sending comments on Weverse, collecting photos of the members..

I would be the kind of ARMY who listens to the songs a lot. I’ve loved music

since I was a kid so I probably would’ve listened a lot and gone to concerts as well.

I wasn’t the type to enjoy concerts but after standing on the stage myself, I’ve come to think that I should go—bc I now know that concerts, to artists, are more valuable than anything.

If I start liking something, I won’t feel at ease until I’ve learned everything about it. Because I’m the scholarly type (laugh). Starting with “Why is his name RM?”, I’ll think I would delve into that person’s music and worldview, one by one.

I’ll do so much research that the mysteriousness would probably be gone tho (laugh).

I get that (laugh).

I would be the ARMY who will always continue supporting. Even if I’m unable to go to a concert for a while, I’d be the ARMY that would keep on supporting nevertheless.

The ARMY that stays by their side for a long time.

“Starting with BBC, there’s been more opportunities to interact with BTS anywhere, like through online streams. Any memorable reactions from ARMYs enjoying the content?”

Watching footage from our previous concerts on BBC, I was filled with a kind of feeling like, we’ve done truly so many concerts up until now, and we’ve gone through so many twists and turns until we came to this point. A lot of emotions came back to life, reminiscing how things

were the way they were back then. So I was able to feel how the ARMYs enjoying BBC accepted the different sides of us and loved us, which was a strange feeling. (laugh)

I originally never watched footage of my concerts. I felt like I would only pay attention to the

parts I didn’t do well in or failed… So I’d tried not to watch them until now, but this time I watched BBC together. A lot of people watched it to my surprise, and I especially felt how people who weren’t ARMYs also watched our concerts and were moved.

Watching those reactions led to a sense of confidence that what we have been doing wasn’t wrong, and that it was worth the hard work.

bc a lot of ppl watched and it gained traction, I started missing concerts even more. I also miss the process of preparing for a concert.

Hearing that people watched our concert footage &enjoyed it makes me happy. I want to show a new stage asap.

Watching our past footage, I deeply felt just how much we desperately we worked. It’s stimulated even the me of now &made me think that I should continue working hard.

“Before we knew it, BTS and ARMY had been walking together for 7 years. Can you imagine yourself 7 years into the future?”

It’s somehow already been 7 years.

It’s become such a norm for BTS and ARMY to be together, it feels very natural.

It was a long, but also short period of time. It still is like a dream, and it feels like a fairytale. We’ll always be together, now and forever.

I think we’ll keep on walking forward, only watching each other. We’ll always be BTS, and I hope ARMY will stay as ARMY as well.

We’ve been asked a lot about our past and future these days because it’s our 7 year anniversary, but we still have a lot of things to do right now, so reflecting on the past and imagining our future is too difficult for us just yet. To us, this moment right now is important.

Nice! I think that’s a sexy answer (laugh).

7 years ago, were you able to imagine the us of now? I used to imagine what we would be like 7 years into the future, but there’s no meaning of us thinking of the future now --

because there’s just so many things that our present feelings, and our choices right now would produce. So I want to just focus on the current moment.

Exactly!

“Your relationship with ARMY 7 years into the future?”

It has to be “best friends” 100%. We’ll always be best friends that never change. We’ll stay by our sides, and continue being a valuable friend-like existence to each other.

It’d be nice if we could mutually be an indispensable existence that can rely on each other.

I don’t think it’ll change 7 yrs into the future, just like how our relationship with ARMY hasn’t changed over the past 7 years. We’re all living thinking the same things, so I don’t think it’ll change in 7 yrs.

Simply being happy would be enough for me. BTS & ARMY as well.

“A word to ARMY who always send a lot of love.”

7 years passed in the blink of an eye. It’s also been 6 years since we debuted in Japan. Time passes fast. I think this year will be a year where we’ll become excited for what’s to come in 6 or 7 years. We’ve had some time to rest

our wings, but rather I want us to get in shape and make it a year that leaves room for anticipation 7 years in the future.

Wherever we are, we’re diligently just doing what we’re supposed to do, and moving forward with our activities while taking care of our health.

So everyone, please do what you’re supposed to do, in your everyday lives. I hope there comes a day we get to meet each other soon.

Please just take care of your body, and stay healthy. The fact that you are supporting us doesn’t change in any kind of

circumstances, and our gratitude towards you won’t change either. We’ll continue putting our full effort into our activities, so please stay healthy. I want to see you soon!

Just thinking that you might feel even a small amount of happiness and get energized by reading this

magazine makes me happy. Please take care of your condition, and let’s meet again soon.

We smiled and laughed a lot in our photo shoot today, hoping that our smiles would deliver some happiness to ARMYs at home, ARMYs who are working, and ARMYs who are struggling.

I wish ARMYs can get even the smallest amount of energy from our photos and interviews.

These days, I’ve been working hard to fill myself with happiness. So I’ll be glad if the ARMYs reading the magazine right now would be as happy as me.

Through this magazine, I’d be happy if ARMYs can get even a little bit of energy. We’re working hard to practice and prepare a lot of presents to deliver to you. Please look forward to them. Please take care of your health, and always stay full of energy.

end!!!!
