BTS' Jimin, RM Write Emotional Letters To ARMY

While fans are painting the world purple, RM aka Kim Namjoon and Park Jimin took to Weverse and penned emotional letters. RM shared photos from BTS’ initial days and wrote, "The mountains change in ten years, I’m telling you, Durney. There were countless waves. There are many dawns that I don’t remember. At the age of 20 and 30, I’m just like another person. Now I’m more unfamiliar with my old self. It’s very special to have magic on a horse. Until a noun becomes a pronoun. Until Bangtan becomes Bangtan and ARMY become ARMY.. There was a lot of rain and wind, love. We built our own world that no one could possibly understand."

He further noted, "Thanks to the ARMYs and so many people who helped us. I had a very special experience that I would never have had again. Looking back, I was used to kicking out the door constantly after being soaked in flashbacks. Even now, I’m still weighing our second act. I feel like I can be anything. The concerns and ambivalence that I had at 17 and 20 are still valid. As I grow up. There are so many things in the world that words and writings alone cannot explain, and I learned that things that didn’t seem to change will change someday. Also, the birth of "Name". It also requires the strength and love of so many people. I’m still too immature. It will probably continue to be unfamiliar, anxious, and painful. But I’ll move on. Separately, together, far away but close, to me, you guys, I want you guys to have me. Members, staff, family and friends! And ARMYs! Thank you for your hard work. Let’s live well together for the next 10 years. In this world!"

Jimin also wrote, "Dear ARMYs, this is Jimin Haha. Wow, it’s our 10th anniversary. How long has it been. I can’t believe that I’m 29 when I first met you at 19. I’m an adult now. My mind is still similar to when I was 19, but my body is… It’s weird. Anyway. I just miss you." Read it here:
