🐿They’re like a vinyl record. Vinyls themselves have value because they are originals, and their value increases as time goes by. The time I’ve spent with my members is a valuable memory, and I want to stay with them for a long time, so I used vinyls as an example. +
52
🐨They’re the youth that I spent my entire 10s & 20s with, and they’re a new form of family that I’ve been w/ for the longest time. I can say they’re my 2nd family. We know e/o sm that we instantly know who would like/hate smth. Moments like those, I realize that they’re family.
53
🐱I think of them as family, when we’re working and not working as well. I sometimes feel a bond closer than family. It’s fun being with them. They’re all so bright/energetic and looking at them makes me smile. I can only say that it was “destiny” that I was able to meet them.
54
🐯That’s a very deep question. To me, the members of BTS are truly family. Aside from my parents and siblings, the members know me the most. I can rely on them from my heart, and I can, and want, to trust them as my family. That’s what the BTS members are. +
55
so what do the members mea—
bts: family, family, they’re family. I think of them as family and they’re not different from a real family

“A memory of the members cheering you up?”
🐰when I was feeling down, the members came (to my place) 1 by 1. They comforted and cried with me. I was truly thankful then. They gave me the power to move forward. It’s a rich memory +
58
Is the heart of JK who sang “I think I became an adult faster than anyone” already an adult?
🐰I’m an adult age-wise but I don’t think I’m mentally an adult yet, bc there’s still nothing that makes me able to say “I’ve matured.” It might be a self-satisfaction kind of thing, but+
59
I think you can say you’ve become an adult when you’ve become proud of how you matured. I’m nowhere close to being “cool as a person,” but I want to become that someday. +

“The number 7 is important to ARMYs and BTS this year.” if you could only eat the same thing for 7 days, what would you eat?
🐰I would choose Kimbap. Kimbaps have all carbs, meat, and veggies. I really love it. Or I would choose a chicken salad with sweet potato. Only eating a +
61
single ingredient/specific food is unbalanced, so I would choose either of the two. +
62
“An episode where you’ve been helped out by ARMYs”?
🐰I’m always helped out by ARMY. There’s ppl that give me advice, talk to me seriously, & support me. All of it gives me power. It means they care for me, so I’m happy. I’m working hard on songwriting rn to deliver it to ARMYs.+
63
“If you could give advice to struggling ARMYs to be positive?”
If you have a dream& like to do something, there’s no need to care about what others think. Ofc, u shouldn’t do what ur not supposed to do, but don’t give up on ur dream because ur worried about what ppl would think.+
64
It’s important to think about what you genuinely want, and what makes you truly you.

get injured, so I chose this song. +

“If you were to dance smth with ARMY, what BTS choreo would you choose?”
🐥BWL. It has a bright vibe, and the dance is simple so I think they can memorize it easily. The other songs have a lot of intense moves, and it’s dangerous if they+
67
“JM, who loves to dance. Why do u love it?”
🐥It’s bc I get to disconnect from my daily worries & feel like I’m in my own space. When performing on the stage, I get released from distractions &am left with a pure feeling that “I love the stage” so I can stay true to that thought.
68
I want for ppl to say “the first thing that comes to mind about South Korea is BTS” anywhere (in the world).
+
69
“JM, who’s dream is to keep on being an artist. What kind of artist do you want to be?”
🐥I want to become a performer that can make anyone watching think “That person is truly talented”. A kind of existence that makes people curious about what kind of person they are. +
70
“JM, who’s hard working. What force drives you to keep on working hard?”
🐥at first, I struggled to work hard. But I kept on working hard bc I wanted to do it, liked it, and wanted to become better. My performances aren’t a born skill, but something I built up myself. +
71
I took responsibility in my own work, and wanted to live up to ARMYs’ cheers so I worked hard. +
72
“The number 7 is important to ARMY & BTS this year. 7 is said to be a lucky number. Anything you thought was lucky recently?”
🐥lucky seven...(thinks). I can’t rlly think of anything where I was lucky. But my current condition and environment themselves might be a “lucky thing”.
73
AHHHHH we did it it’s been sitting at 2 for literally ages I’m so happy it finally reached #1

"a side of you that only you know, and ARMY don’t?”
🐯I never noticed it until someone said it but the me who used to run around and play hard when I was young, now likes to go on walks. Does it mean I’ve matured? I like the me of now. +
75
“The number 7 is important to ARMY & BTS this year. A moment where the 7 members had a big laugh together?”
🐯it was when we filmed for Run BTS. There were so many hilarious happenings. Idk if it’s going to be released before this magazine comes out, but I just had a lot of fun.+
