🐨: Everyone, a lot of time has truly passed, hasn't it? Honestly, it feels like just the other day when we were in our practice room working on "No More Dream" and "We Are Bulletproof Pt.2," but time has already flown by like this.
🐨: Things have changed a lot compared to the past. We worked hard in Korea, but then the time we spent staying abroad increased significantly. Our lyrics also started including a lot more English. There have been many changes like that. In the meantime, the K-pop industry itself has grown incredibly massive.
🐨: Lately, our junior artists often come to visit us and ask, "How do you keep the team together for so long?" They asked that before we went to the military, and they still ask it now. But honestly, I don't really know.
🐨: I think that through these six members, and through all of you who are here watching us, I have constantly been reflecting on myself. Unlike before, I don't really open up about my inner thoughts that easily, and I don't talk about my deepest feelings as much, but since it's been a while, I wanted to say this to you all.
🐨: Anyway, over the years, we've had Love Yourself, The Most Beautiful Moment in Life (Hwayangyeonhwa), Dynamite... so many things happened, all the way to Arirang. Earlier, while we were performing "Magic Shop," those 13 years flashed right past me like a kaleidoscope.
🐨: Regardless, it is truly such a great honor, and I am so grateful that we can be together like this. No matter where we are or what we look like, we will always do our absolute best and work hard to show you exactly who we are. So, I hope you will stay by our side for a very long time to come. Thank you so much. I love you! Thank you.
When Namjoon and eAeon released Don't and he wrote "Can you remain here as a pebble? In my small chimney you could stay" I was moved by his choice of words.
A pebble.
A stone that the ebbs and flows of water has eroded but that has been made more beautiful for it.
Like how us humans are tossed around in the sea of life, our edges eroded and us turned into something less blunt with age. More.. how should I put it? Moderate. In our feelings, our reactions to what happens in life, in how we see the struggles we face, the companions we choose.. we lose our extremes like the stone loses facets and edges with the beating of the waves.
Him mentioning the pebble again in his letter today, as something he threw in hopes of it reaching us just like he does with his music..
"I do not exactly know which melody or which pebble managed to reach each of you sitting here right now. I think I'll be the one who keeps sending and throwing
Thirteen years ago, and in the future.
If there are people who listen to it."
Namjoon IS a poet.
(and I didn't read a proper translation yet, the nuances I'm sure were lost..)
I will FOREVER listen to what he wants to say. Keep throwing those pebbles/melodies out there Namjoon. They ARE reaching and helpin so many.
Love you.
