🐨: 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.

Hello. On this beautiful day, I am writing to you for the first time in a while.I do not particularly like or deeply believe in the phrase "someone saving someone else." However, having undeservedly heard such words from time to time, it makes me look back and realize that perhaps I, too, was saved by all of you.I am trying to live my life more simply, cleanly, or perhaps more boldly than before. The moments I fall into deep sentimentality have decreased significantly. Even so, the fact that the world is still a sad place seems unavoidable, no matter how many happy days there are. Then again, maybe it is actually because I am just so happy.I have shared so many words and thrown so many sounds your way. I do not exactly know which melody or which pebble managed to reach each of you sitting here right now. Yet, I feel like I will always be someone who keeps sending and throwing things out like that—just as I did thirteen years ago, and just as I will in the future. As long as there is all of you to listen. It brings me immense joy that we can create memories together and grow older year by year. I love that I can still shout out to someone. Time and again, I see myself through you. Do you experience that too?Thank you once again for sharing this precious anniversary with me. Today is Saturday the 13th, an incomparably beautiful day. No matter what anyone says about what this means, I want to keep building anniversaries and memories that only we know deep in our hearts. As always, I look forward to our time together. I love you
Joon I love you so much🙁💙
