아미 여러분 9주년입니다.
방탄이 태어난 날이고 여러분을 처음 뵙게 된 소중한 날인데
오늘 같이 소중한 날 여러분을 뵈어서 정말 다행이에요.
하고 싶은 말도 많고 전하고 싶은 감정도 되게 많은데
한해 한해가 지나가면 갈 수록 같은말인데
감사하다 죄송하다 사랑한다 이런 단순한 말들의
무게감이 더욱 무거워지는 것 같아요.
그래도 말로 표현할 수 있는말이 이런말들 밖에 없네요.
언제나 저희가 공연을 한다고 하면 달려와주시기에
보고싶을 때 보게 해주어서 감사합니다.
항상 여러분을 기다리게 하며, 여러분의 응원보다
저희의 보답의 크기가 작기에 죄송합니다.
그럼에도 항상 옆에 있어주시기에 정말 많이 사랑합니다.
시간이 정말 무색하게도 빠르다고 느끼다가도
지나온길을 되돌아보면 정말 많은 것을 같이하고 느꼈다고 생각해요.
앞으로 어떠한 추억을 또 쌓아갈지 무슨일이 있을지
어떠한 일들로 울고 웃을지 기대되고 또 기대됩니다.
가볍지 않은 말로 전합니다.
저희는 여러분과 가능한 , 최대한 오랬동안 함께하고 싶습니다.
그렇게 할 수 있게 저희가 더 좋은 모습으로 보답하도록 하겠습니다.
저희의 음악 공연 그리고 저희를 사랑해주셔서 언제나
진심으로 감사드립니다.

ARMYs, it is our 9 year anniversary.
This is the precious day when BTS was born and we were able to meet you for the first time.
I am really glad that we were able to see you today, on such a precious day.
There are a lot of things I want to say and there are a lot of emotions I want to convey, but as the years go on, I say the same things.
“Thank you”, “I am sorry”,“I love you”— the weight of these simple words is starting to feel heavier.
However, these are the only words I have to express how I feel.
For always running to us whenever we announced performances, for letting us see you whenever we missed you, I am so grateful to you.
For always making you wait, for the fact that what we give back to you is smaller than the support you give us, I am sorry.
Regardless, for always staying by our side, I love you so much.
While I feel like time has gone by so quickly, looking back at the path that we’ve walked, I feel like we've experienced a lot and felt a lot of emotions together.
I'm really looking forward to the memories we'll make in the future, to find out what will happen, what kind of things will make us cry and laugh.
Here are my words to you, I do not say them lightly.
We want to be with you for as long as we possibly can.
In order for that to happen, we will strive to repay you with even better versions of ourselves.
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for always loving our music, our performances and us.
💜: 5분뒤 방탄 회식!!
V: 아 하는구나..
진짜 회식이에요 기대 많이 하지마세요

💜: Bangtan dinner party in 5 minutes!!
V: Ah so that's happening..
It's really a dinner party*, please don't expect too much
(T/N: *The term used in Korean is '회식' , which is specifically the practice of employees of a particular company having dinner together and is thus different from a more social dinner party amongst friends.)
💜: 힘들때 힘들다고 편히 말 못하고
쉬고 싶은데 쉬고 싶다고 말 하기가 어렵고
자신이 가장 청춘일 20대를
꿈을 위해, 또 팬들을 위해 바쳐왔고 달려왔을
여러분들이 얼마나 힘들었을지
20대를 거쳐왔고 또 밟고있는 분들이라면
직접 말하지 않아도 아미들은 이미 알 거에요
너무 고생했고 잘 해왔고 쉬어도 괜찮아요
연예인을 떠나 방탄소년단 분들도
이 현대사회를 살아가는 청년 중 한 명 일테니까요
물론 어딜 가나 모든 사람들의 마음을 얻을 수 없기에
이러한 방탄의 솔직한 얘기를 반대하는 사람들도 있을 수 있지만, 진짜 아미분들은 방탄소년단 분들의 의견을 충분히 이해하고 또 함께 눈물 흘려줄거라고 전 믿어요
충분히 쉬고 또 쉬고 오세요 :)
저희도 더 열심히 살아내고 하고싶은 일 하며
우리가 또 다시 만날 날을 기다리고 있을게요
아 !
저는 방탄소년단을 좋아하는 것도 맞지만,
한 인간으로서의 여러분들도 좋아합니다
우리모두 위대하고 엄청난 인간은 아닐지라도
누군가에게 힘이 되는 존재는 될 수 있다고 생각해요
높은 위치가 많이 힘겨울 때도 있으시겠지만
그만큼 여러분들의 노래에 위로를 받고 감동받은 사람이 많다고 생각해보는건 어떨까요?ㅎ:)
저희도 늘 감사합니다
사랑해요💐
V: 정말 감사해요

You couldn’t say that you were having a hard time when you were.
It was hard for you to say that you wanted to rest when you wanted to.
You dedicated your 20s, the peak of your youth,
to your dreams, and to your fans. You’ve been running constantly and it must have been so hard for you. As people who crossed their 20s and those still in that age, even if you can’t directly tell us how hard it was for you, ARMYs already know.
You’ve worked so hard and been through so much. You’ve done so well. It’s okay to rest now.
Because outside of your lives as celebrities, you’re just one of the many young people living through these modern times.
Of course, you can’t please everyone.
There will probably be people who are opposed to such honest words from Bangtan, but I believe that real ARMYs will fully understand your feelings and shed tears with you together.
Please take lots and lots of rest before you come back :)
We will also use that time to live life to the fullest and do the things we want to do,
and we will be waiting for the day we can meet again.
Ah!
I do like BTS, but I also like who you are as people off-stage.
All of us can’t be incredible, extraordinary people but I do think that we can all be a source of strength for someone.
Standing at such heights must have been so hard so much of the time but it meant that your songs comforted and moved that many people. How about thinking that way? Heh :)
우리 행복해요
7명 모두가 좋아하는 것도 싫어하는 것도 성격 성향 템포가 다 다르지만 아미생각 하나는 다 똑같아서 달방은 해야했어요.
10년 동안 항상 위를 보고 나아가다 보니 무서웠고 팀을 위해 나를 포기했어야 했고 그 안에 행복 뒤에 항상 오는 지침과 힘듦은 셀 수 없었어요 이제는 오랫동안 방탄으로 남아있기위한 우리들의 건강한 발걸음의 시작이니 그 모습도 아미들이 정말 좋아하실거라 믿어요
아미와 방탄은 보랏줄이 이어져 있으니 끊어지지 않고 색의 진함이 오래가도록 오래오래 봐요
우리는 아미를 정말 많이 사랑해요

We are happy.
The 7 of us all have different likes and dislikes, personalities, temperaments and move to different tempos, but our thoughts about ARMY are the same for all of us, so we had to do Run! BTS.
For ten years, constantly looking up and moving that way was scary, and I had to give up on myself for the sake of the team. There was happiness in that but it was always accompanied by an immeasurable amount of exhaustion and struggle. We are now starting to take healthy steps towards being able to stay as Bangtan for a long time, and I believe that ARMY will really like that side to us as well.
Bangtan and ARMY are tied together by a purple string that won’t break. Let’s see each other for a long, long time, so that the colour of the string stays as bold as it is now. We really love ARMY a lot.
Drift’s post covers many very important points about Vmin in Festa 2022 and this new chapter - I recommend reading it and its other parts.
If I put on my delulu-queer-scenario hat, my predictions for this new Vmin chapter is that :
1- Vmin will do songs together
2a- Taehyung will release before his enlistment a romantic album about falling in love, hence the importance of structure (from being strangers, to friends, to lovers). An intricate album, narratively structured, introspective and intimate.
OR
2b- Taehyung will release a coming-out album AFTER his enlistment, which will be more clear about queerness hardships, falling in love and not be able to live it fully, with a vmin romantic duet, for example. I do NOT expect it to be 100% obvious : if there’s no progress of LGBT rights & their perception by the general public in Korea until then, it will not be a real coming out. My secret hope is that BTS makes public opinion change about LGBT people, but it’s only a dream at this point.
Now I take off my delulu hat to talk about small, cute moments between Vmin during Festa dinner.
There weren’t any big Vmin moments during this dinner because first of all, they weren’t next to each other (we vminies know that one person isn’t sufficient to prevent them from being clingy soulmates, but-), and second of all, it was a serious talk, melancholic and raw.
Nonetheless, there were a few cute moments I wanted to share with you, since I also needed some Vmin solace this week.
For me, soju is a Taehyung drink; and I wondered if Jimin is nowadays drinking more of it thanks to Taehyung, and if he wanted to share with him. Yet, Taehyung asked Jimin, very softly, to grab another drink for him, and it was very cute.
I love how naturally he heard him among the Bangtan Chaos, and passed him the bottle smoothly without barely looking xD
And of course Taehyung managed to make Jimin laugh with a joke (Jimin : the drink is very sweet / Taehyung : then it means your day was hard).
And OF COURSE Taehyung asked Jimin if he wanted to eat some crab, which was out of Jimin’s reach. He wants his soulmate to be well fed at all time :’( And we know Vmin loves to share food.
When Taehyung got up to go somewhere, he leaned on Jimin (but not J-hope) and touched his shoulders. Physical touch is one of Vmin love language, that’s for certain.
If you pay attention to Taehyung’s body position during the first part of the dinner, he’s often turned right, to the general direction of Jimin. For example, here, Jin made a joke about Jungkook, but Taehyung is laughing while looking at Jimin.
While talking about going back together as a group after doing solo activities, Taehyung looks directly at Jimin. I suppose they must have had many discussions about this - knowing that Jimin prefers to be the member of a group and doesn’t really want to be considered as a solo artist (he’s, after all, very private), while Taehyung likes to do solo projects and wants to try many things outside of BTS (and he’s, after all, very open on many things).
One of the many promises they must have made to each other is that, whatever projects Taehyung’s working on, with the hwarang-hyung other people and artists, they would keep spending a lot of time together.
Because after all, Jimin is Taehyung’s first supporter, and when Namjoon mentioned Taehyung’s album, Jimin IMMEDIATELY bragged about the fact that Taehyung already played the album for him.
Namjoon then says, that Taehyung played the album at his house (for the members). BUT, Jimin did not say “for us”, so again, soulmate privileges, he heard the album before the others, I guess.
And Jimin takes the chance to compliment Taehyung’s music!
With the members going “release the album!! now!!” I guess the album is more likely my option 2a, a romantic album full of love songs, but not queer-coded. Yet I wonder, then, if Taehyung doesn’t release it because of this- that he doesn’t feel complete freedom about it.
Well, that’s it! This post was just small Vmin moments, because Vmin isn’t only about grand gestures, hand holding and clinginess - it’s also small moments that show their bond.
This is a new chapter but Vmin’s bond is as strong as ever. Do not doubt it, even if you can’t see it anymore. June 10th Vlive shows that even after this difficult announcement and beginning of a “break”, Vmin were just as clingy as ever!
As someone who had a partner for 9 years now, and entered a period of distant relationship - I can assure you that beside calls, you’re SO happy when you finally gather in person...

ARMYs! Waiting with some good food?
If you wait just a little longer, you'll see the Chatterbox Boy Scouts at the Real Bangtan Dinner Party!
ARMYS, it's here, here! Come in through here*
Having my own Magic Shop routine while waiting for today's Muster updates 😊 I usually type faster than this. However, the fact that I'm typing out good words from someone I admire makes me nervous 😂
