To Bang Shihyuk PD-nim, Vice President Choi Yoojung, Director Kim Shinkyu, Director Yoon Seokjoon, Director Chaeeun who lead the dream and direction of BTS so well, thank you.
Music Production Team who always manage to capture the core with us, thanks to you we can once again come out great today. I’m just sorry that it seems like all the cool and good stuff is only for us to do.
Manager hyungs whom we interact with the most, you have worked the hardest. Thank you for treating us as artists, and we will not only treat you comfortably because we’re close, but will also try harder to respect you guys, as a hyung, dongsaeng and a human being.
To VC Team who always upgrade us more, who work the hardest for every new concept, countless outfits, themes and visuals, and especially whenever there’s a filming. Thank you for lessening our worries and making us look good. Please sleep a lot when you have free time ㅠㅠ
I send my sincere thanks to Director Lumpens and our dear hair stylists & make-up artists.
To Communication Team who do so much behind the camera, I can’t even imagine all the hard work you do. Thank you for being our eyes, ears and mouths, and we will work hard so as not to forget that our attitude and mindset are still the most important.
To Business Team who make Bangtan better and more global! Contents Business Team who make us and ARMYs happy with various contents, Concert Business Team who are always with us for every tour as well as Partnership Business Team, thank you so much. Director Seungwook and Director Heena, together with Plan A staff, thank you very much!
I send my thanks through this letter to Management Support Team, the arms and legs of the company, though we don’t meet often. Also thank you for listening to our requests as well.
To Director Lee Hyuk and all the staff at the Japan office, you must be tired from me bothering you with questions about Japanese all the time, but thank you for always kindly teaching me. I’ll try to be better at Japanese and be a help to the team.
To Trainee Development Team who are focusing on training many great junior singers, though we don’t interact much with each other now! If there’s something I can help with, I definitely will, even if it’s just with my heart.
To the members, other than saying I love you… Thank you for listening and taking in my words.
ARMY!! I always get emotional whenever I think of you guys. I hope you’ll like the music and lyrics from this album, and hope it can be of help in your lives. Because that’s the motive of this album. Also I’d like to say I truly love you all the international ARMYs. Hope you know it. Always.
It feels like I’m alone, but at the same time, when thinking of it, there’s a lot of people I’m grateful to. I’m truly lucky. I will become a better person.
Thank you.
Jimin
To Bighit staff, including Bang Shihyuk PD-nim.
There are so many more staff now that I don’t know all of you.
But still, those who came with us since we first started, needless to say, I know that you’re always working hard and doing so much for us in the back without getting to sleep, and even those whom I don’t know are working hard for us in the back as well. You always take care of so many things for us that I don’t know where I should start from or how I should thank you. Thank you for creating us and creating every opportunities we get. As much as you have worked hard for us, we will rise higher. Please keep an eye on us.
Our manager hyungs.
You must have had a hard time right? You can’t even tell us and always work so hard. You have it tougher than us and sleep less than us, but even though I know that, I feel like I should know more, I’m sorry. Anyway, I’m always grateful to our hyungs. I wouldn’t be able to understand everything but I understand that you’ve had it tough and I want to tell you to cheer up. Thank you.
To our staff who always stay by our side.
Now that there are staff younger than me, I can’t refer to everyone as hyungs and noonas anymore. But for real, we’re together 340 days out of 365 days a year. Thank you. Even though you’re always with us, I have never seen you guys saying that it’s tiring. I’m sorry that we always whine but we can’t do more for you compared to the amount of time you stay with us. Thank you to all the make-up artists and hair stylists for always making us look beautiful and caring about us. Let’s keep working together in the future as well.
To Director Lumpens and Director Nam Hyunwoo who always create wonderful works for us and go through a lot to do so.
It’s actually not an overstatement to say that most parts of us are made by you guys. I’m always grateful. Counting on you guys to make us come out great in the future as well. Thank you. And to Chief Heejun and Photographer Mugunghwasonyeo whom we just worked with for the first time, thank you for taking beautiful photos. They are so beautiful that I’d love to work with you again if there’s a chance. Thank you for your hard work.
To our family.
Our family who just silently stay by side and become my source of strength, always be healthy and don’t get hurt.
Thank you.
To our members.
I had this thought often, “they really care a lot about me”.
Thank you so much. Sincerely. Let everything we want to do come true in the future as well.
To Taeminie-hyung, Moonkyu-hyung, Kwonho-hyung, Jonginie-hyung, Sungwoonie-hyung.
Thank you, really. Thanks to you guys I’m having fun everyday ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
To our ARMYs.
I don’t want to make you guys wait, but I always end up leaving you waiting. I heard that you have waited long for us as we went abroad for a long time. That’s why I worked really hard to do well during the recording for this album and also during the time I went on tour, because I wanted to bring you guys better songs. Hope you’ll enjoy it. Things will continue to change in the future, so thank you from the bottom of my heart for waiting for us. I love you.
