🐰 I’ve always wanted to be honest with ARMY. For real. Honestly, if it weren’t for the company, I probably would have said everything. If I say it this way, doesn’t it make the company look like garbage? The company didn’t do anything that wrong. The company always stays neutral. They’ve always looked after us like this. So I’m really grateful to them, because they’re the people who catch the things (I/we) miss. Please don’t hate the company too much. The company is really great

🐨 How do you feel now that there are 2 shows left? 🐰 I’m so excited for those concerts 🐹 It’s fun 🐨 Vegas is so hot 🐥 It’s really fun, but now I’m starting to hurt a bit 🐱 My recovery is a little slow. Since it’s been over a month, my shins hurt so much 🐰 My shins hurt so much 🐹 I also got a crick in my neck/back on top of that 🐻 Me too, me too, me too. My shins hurt so much 🐱 It’s because of fatigue. Fatigue 🐨 My whole body feels like, you know in the old days when someone was discharged from the military & people would roll them up in a straw mat? They’d cover them & hit them, saying congratulations on being discharged. It feels like I go through that every day. After it ends, when I wake up in the morning 🐰 To yourself? 🐻 But hyung, we all understand what you mean, but I bet none of the viewers will be able to relate 🐨 Anyway, what I mean is that we enjoyed ourselves so fully & worked so hard that it feels like we got beaten up

🐨 So sometimes when I can’t sleep, or work, or just life itself feels terrifying. It’s scary—just the act of living. There are times when the fact that this life goes on day after day feels really frightening. Because every day you have to feed yourself, you have to do things, and so life and death, the fact that morning comes and another day starts, it can feel wonderful at times, but there are also parts of life where it presses down on you, like a kind of light depression. This feeling that you have to keep doing something every single day In the end, that’s why it’s important to have your own sphere, your own beliefs, hopes, and goals. That’s why even though nights are really hard for me right now, even though I feel anxious, when I think about releasing an album next year and being with you all again, jumping around and having fun together, my mood already lifts So I say to myself, Next year I have to at least see this before I die, not to speak lightly about death but as a kind of joke. I think, Even if I’m sick, I have to see your faces before I’m sick. I live day by day with that feeling. That’s why I want to work better too, and I believe everything I see, hear, and feel now will help with our next album and whatever I do in the future. In the end, all you can do is keep believing, day after day

ARIRANG rejects the singular story RM has spoken about their confusion. 7 artists returned with different ideas about what their next album should be. Yet they remained committed to telling their story honestly And confusion was part of that story From a Western perspective, uncertainty can look like weakness. But there is arrogance in assuming that every complicated reality can, or should, be reduced to one account This openness to not-knowing is not unique to them. It resonates with how contemporary climate writers describe living in an unstable world In Hope in the Dark, Rebecca Solnit argues that hope depends upon an uncertain future. Optimism & pessimism can both release us from responsibility. Uncertainty leaves the future open & therefore demands something from us Donna Haraway calls this staying with the trouble. She refuses stories in which catastrophe is either neatly solved or treated as inevitable. We have to remain within damaged & entangled conditions long enough to discover the relationships & responses that can’t be known in advance Anna Tsing comes even closer to their artistic question. Writing about life amid precarity, she considers what comes after we have finally understood where “progress” has led us. Our mutual survival depends upon a honest coordination that respects different lives These ideas are already embedded in older cultural forms such as Arirang where there is no single definitive version of the song. Its words, melodies & meanings have changed as people carried it through time & place Seen in this light, ARIRANG does something similar. They continued from within their uncertainty, allowing their different experiences to remain present in the album Their decision not to submit the album for the Grammys extends this logic of resisting fixed categorisation. “Asian Pop” collapses artists from almost 50 countries & many musical traditions into 1 category. BTS rejected the institution’s attempt to trap them there Accepting uncertainty is an act of humility. It means recognising that we do not know the whole story & yet still need to continue together from within that limitation This is where ARIRANG is best heard: in that crossing

One More Night 🐨 I don’t really have that much to say about this song I think I wrote my part while thinking something like this. I mean, the other parts of the song too & the lyrics, I think I wrote them with this in mind: Someday, because of you, I’ll probably end up crying for a long time. What frightens me, what is already sad, is how much our shadows have come to resemble each other So, when you love someone, that person could be a lover or it could really be all of you. I’m relying on this person so much, giving & receiving so much love. And you know how, when you’re so happy, you can also feel so sad? Because you’ve become too alike. Because being together is so good. Already, that loss is there. There is clearly such a thing as a bond that belongs to a certain time. Or something could happen to us, to Bangtan & there are so many possible cases. In this world, in this multiverse, to already be grieving even that far ahead is such a foolish thing. But I think that too is love That heart. That very, very vulnerable truth. Even so, the heart that wants to do something together for just one more night. The human condition of looking toward the saddest future from the happiest point in time. I think I was thinking about something like that Maybe we’ll sing this song in concert someday

🐨 Honestly, I’m still scared. I want to act strong, like, I don’t give a sh—, I don’t give a f—, I don’t care about anything. What can you even do to me, huh? Huh! Huh! But I’m not like that. I’m still really weak, really anxious, and I get hurt a lot. Even now, when I see malicious comments, it’s hard for me sometimes I don’t want to deny that part of myself. This is what I fight my way through. Because 10 years ago, the same things were there. The same things existed, but what’s different now is that I know you actually exist. I’ve come to understand that a little better That’s the only thing that’s really changed Of course, we’re doing better now and receiving more love. But if there’s one thing that’s definitely different, it’s that I believe in your existence. And yet, sometimes it gets blurry. Are you really there? Have you all left. Well, left isn’t quite the right word, but are there still people who genuinely love me? I want to be reassured of that too. You know? I want confirmation from this relationship. That’s what this is, right? An unspecified mass? Should I call it an unspecified mass or a specific one? Anyway, when I want that confirmation, I turn this on too Honestly, I’ve gone live because I felt like crying. It just happens sometimes when I’m alone. And it’s been such a long time since we performed. You’ve seen in interviews how after receiving all that energy from countless people on stage, when we come down below the stage, the drop, the gap, is huge To narrow that gap, I read, I exercise, and I go live like this. Your love isn’t lacking. From the very beginning, your love has always been more than I deserved. The one who’s lacking is me It’s like this. I depend on how you are with me, and you depend on how I am with you, right? So it’s up to both of us: how we do this together Let’s keep trying our best together, even though I don’t know exactly how

The hills he’s referring to here is 비빌언덕 or something one can lean on To break it down: 언덕 - hill 비비다 - to rub, press or lean against He first mentions this during their 2019 FESTA Bangtan Darak & then in their lyrics: Oh can I be your bibilly hills Like you did the same to me —BTS, Telepathy At heart, he’s talking about #namjooning here & this can look like spending time in nature, with family & friends, art, music & books etc

🐨 When it comes to marriage, people feel rushed and pressured. There are realistic parts too. Especially for women, it seems like society and the media keep putting pressure on them. On all of us, really. I just wish people could live in their own way There’s no right answer. But I think, if someone can’t stand being alone, would getting married really make that better? Because even when you’re married, there are times you want to be alone too. People are contradictory like that So I think someone who can be okay on their own can probably do well when they’re with someone too. And the same goes the other way around. If you get married just because you’re lonely, as a way to solve or escape it, that’s a bit questionable As for kids, I don’t really know either. Even raising myself feels like a handful. And children, well, they don’t turn out the way you want them to. When I think about how much I made my parents worry when I was young. If I had a kid like me? Oh man, how exasperating would that be. Sure, they might be adorable too, but still There’s no single answer. People who are married can only speak from that side, and those who aren’t can only speak from theirs. It’s something the two sides can’t really know about each other. So we should take other people’s stories as just that—their own In a way, I think those of us born in the 1990s are the 1st generation in Korea for whom marriage became an option. So I believe we should follow our own choices Of course, right now I’m a good son. Honestly, I don’t think there’s anyone as filial as me these days. But when I was young, I really gave my parents a hard time. You’d be surprised. Someday I’ll interview them so you can hear just how much trouble I caused. That’s why I treat them well now. It’s the law of cause and effect I guess I went a bit too deep talking about marriage, but well, it’s something worth talking about. After all, how much content do we really have in life, right? Things like hobbies, travel, there’s no single right way for those either Still, I think it’s important to nourish both body and mind. Exercise and reading can bring a lot of good things to a person. I don’t believe anything is an absolute must, but if something comes close to being 100% good, it’s probably reading and exercise because those things don’t lie So yeah, getting married doesn’t mean you’ll be completely free from loneliness. I don’t think it would

🐨 Including on social media, people talk about themselves far too easily as if they’re perfectly ethical, moral, or logical. In reality even my mother doesn’t know me. I also don’t know people who I’ve lived with for 10 yrs, it’s hard for me to say I know Yoongi and Hoseok. Do I really know that person? It’s brutally hard to even know myself. I think it’s dangerous to say “I know that guy and he could be like this..He’s like that.” I came to the conclusion about a year ago that it’s the most dangerous to think that I know everything. If I am convinced of something, I will keep seeing what I want to see. “Oh they’re that.” Then you only see that. And you will interpret all of their words and behavior in that way.
