🐥 and i would’ve not known what to say if I had had the chance to do an acceptance speech. that’s how I felt.
🐥 since the past, I've been thinking often that we’re with armys. you pick us up when we are exhausted. when you’re exhausted, we pay back with music. and i think+

that’s how we came to where we are, with arms around each other’s shoulders. so, because that was an award that we all worked hard to receive, I said “congratulations, everyone.”

relieved thanks to armys who came for us.

who we were. but, as far as I know, there were 400-500 fans there who screamed for us, and people became to think that we’re a group who have local fans and became to treat us well — thanks to the fans. we were so scared to attend the first red carpet event but were able to feel+

🐨 those who learned about us as bts not bangtansonyeondan, the biggest question they have in common is how our popularity exploded so suddenly. and they ask us to pick one factor that contributed to our success. my answer+
484
is that, since 2012 when we were grubby trainees, since when we wrote posts on tstory, it’s our accumulated selves. that’s the energy that helped us get here. now that we look back, that became an archive of some sort.

[re: first bbmas]
🐨 the fact that we were attending the show itself was so scary. it’s called the magenta carpet, and the moment we stepped on the magenta carpet, there was this uproar. nobody knew who we were. [those who were attending] were confused because they didn’t know +

states, became to like and recognize bangtansonyeondan thanks to “dope.” i had this feeling that international fans like “dope” particularly more. after that music video, “fire” came out. and if felt like those were game-changing moments.

🐰 bang pd nim was very strict about precision. he would push the space bar when watching our practice video and ask us to practice again if the angles are not synchronizing

🐥 he would break the video frame by frame+

and tell us that even our eye pupils must synchronize

you feel these things and wonder if my understanding is correct. why don’t you write melody and lyrics out of them?” and that’s how my solo track epiphany came to life. so I think he helped us set the path right musically.

🐨 the only important thing was this: we give the stories that our contemporaries can tell back to them who are living the present. so when someone asked what bangtansonyeondan means, hobi would answer
