J-Hope Consoles ARMY

I’ve made music since 2013 and I’ve never purely enjoyed it, because I was always squeezing it out. But doing that now feels completely different to what I wanted to say 7-8 years ago. Back then I had something to say, but lacked the skills. Now I don’t have anything to say.” J-Hope assured fans, better known as ARMY that this time apart was a ‘healthy plan,’ and to please not look at it negatively.

When we gather, and talk like this, I want us to be happy without thinking about the rules of the world. I always want to be RM of BTS.” Seeing their leader teary eyed the rest of the group also got emotional. Jungkook gave a toast and said that they just want ARMY’s blessing and they would be back together some day, better than before.

Although the things that all 7 of us like, dislike, the personalities, propensities, and tempo are all different. We have the same thought with ARMY so that we had to continue RUN BTS. For the past 10 years, we always going forward while we are looking upwards. We’re scared and we’ve to give up somethings for the team and there’s countless exhaustion and hardships that always came after happiness. To remain as BTS for a long time, it’s time to begin our healthy footsteps and I’m sure ARMY will love that too. ARMY and BTS are connected by a purple strings. Let’s see each other for a long time so that it won’t break off and the colour of the string will still remain the same. We love ARMY so much.”
