BTS Speak Yourself The Final Tour Day 1
It was so lovely to see BTS through the Vlive streaming at home in Seoul. I’m happy for K-Armys who have probably waited for this for a long time. And it was great to see BTS comfortably speaking in Korean of course it was difficult to understand without the Vlive translation.
What made me really emotional and touched me was RM’s speech at the end. Here’s a link of the English translation (by @doyou_bangtan on Twitter:

As expected of our leader, Kim Namjoon, his speech delivered his love for Armys and also Armys love for Bangtan. I love what he said about not liking the phrase: “How are you?” because I can relate to that.
I, too don’t really like it when people always ask that. It’s such a generic phrase you know, we use it so much that it doesn’t seem to be about what the other person is feeling anymore. It’s more of a filler that comes after ‘Hello’. That’s part of why I don’t like it.
Another reason is that I never know how to answer. Because, like how RM said, ‘saying that “I’m doing well” isn’t saying “there’s really been nothing to speak of, and no difficult events, and so I’ve been doing well.”’ There’s so many layers to how I’m usually feeling that just saying “I’m doing well” doesn’t really cover it for me. And “I’m doing well” is usually the shorter, easier, and expected answer to the “How are you?” question. Regardless, I do understand that it’s not that deep either to just say “I'm doing well” and go.
Seeing RM put it like that in his speech made me relate a lot and I feel more comfortable with the idea that “I’m doing well” can symbolise so much more than what these three words can convey on a superficial level.
So, from now on, I’m doing well through all I go through and all I experience and I know BTS is too. And I know you who are reading this is too, whether you’ve read this far or not.
To commemorate The Final Love Yourself Speak Yourself Tour, I say to you, BTS, all my loves: ‘How are you?’
