I’m pinning this 1 to remind myself that it will never be too late to try, to experiment, to learn something new; for any of my dreams, small, big, silly. As long as they’re in my 💜 I’m allowed to pursue them & to hope for their realization.
It’s a daily struggle. & though +
Hobi’s message for fans💜
🐿️: Actually, yesterday I tried learning an instrument for the first time. Playing the drums, I felt my heart beating along with it. It had been so long since I felt that thrill of learning something new. So what I want to say is if there's something you want to do, it's not too late. Try anything, take on the challenge. And something you didn't even know about yourself might just come alive in that moment. That's exactly what happened to me yesterday. I don't know if it'll last, but... it's always good to try, right?
How I hear this
Hello
On this good day I’m writing a letter for the first time in a while
I’ve never really liked the phrase
‘someone saves someone else’
and I can’t say I’ve ever believed in it all that much
But undeserving as I am
I’ve somehow lived hearing those words from time to time
and I find myself looking back
wondering whether I too haven’t been saved by you.
I’m trying to live more simply than before, more plainly
or perhaps more boldly
There are far fewer moments now when I fall into sentiment
Still the world remains sad
No matter how many joyful days there are
I suppose that can’t be helped.
Or perhaps in truth
it may be because I’m too happy
I’ve handed over so many words
and thrown out so many sounds
I don’t really know
which melody, which pebble*
has reached those of you here now
But I think I’ll keep being someone
who sends & throws them out like that
13 years ago & from now on too.
So long as there are those of you who listen.
Making memories together
and growing one year older with you year by year
makes me very happy.
And I like that there is still someone
I can cry out to
Again & again I see myself through you
Do you too?
Thank you once again
for being with me on this precious anniversary
Today is Saturday, the 13th
A truly good day
Even if someone asks what meaning that could possibly have
I want to keep piling up in one corner of my heart
the memories only we know
and the days we have to celebrate
Please continue to look kindly on me
I love you
#HappyBirthday
🐿️ ARMY, thank you for loving us and being with us for 13 years! You know it, right? We're always genuine. About everything that has to do with you! Let's have fun again today!!
🐿️ "BTS our forever artist."
🐿️ We've been feeling this too. You are artists too, truly.
🐿️ And I'm your fan.
🐿️ I'm so proud of you guys! And so grateful.
ARMY, thank you for STAYING. Yes, the first week of Arirang counted, but a big part of what counted were the sales and streams throughout 2025. PTD Live Album played a huge part in getting the nominations for tonight. Thank you to all the ARMY that voted every day and posted about it and spread the reminders!

STANFORD, PAT YOURSELF ON YOUR BACKS YO!! @Leslianzae you did this!!!
[also please be proud of me that I could understand this whole segment on my own 😭😭 learning Korean is paying off eventhough I’m slow]
Walking home from work in a terrible mood after office drama, in a random suburb, wearing a denim jacket with J-Hope on the back.
A man taps my shoulder.
Him: “Excuse me… are you a BTS fan?”
I looked at him suspicious because this man was easily like 6 feet tall and in my head I was immediately like:
I don’t care how tall you are and built like a wardrobe, if you’re about to disrespect BTS and make fun of me, I will have to bite you in broad daylight and send you into the La Seine.
So I go:“…yes? why?”
Then he goes:“Do you know where I can get tickets?”
I just stared at him.Because suddenly the energy shifted.
So I ask:“For you?”
He says yes.
I ask:“You’re a fan?”
He says:“Yes, since the new album.”
Sir?! This is an insane thing to say in a suburban street with cars passing!
Then he starts softly fangirling about the album, how insane the show looks on IG and how much he wants to go.
So now I’m standing on a random sidewalk giving a full BTS briefing to a man I was mentally preparing to body slam 30 seconds earlier.
Suddenly I’m not suspicious anymore. I’m just a weary ARMY auntie calmly directing this 6ft newborn ARMY to BTS Ticket Helper..
Anyway I thought I was about to defend BTS honor.
Turns out I was just helping a giant fanboy.😇💜
