BANGTAN’S HANDWRITTEN LETTERS

[TRANS] 130727 BANGTAN’S HANDWRITTEN LETTERS

Rap Monster

Hello ARMYs! We’re already nearing the end of July. June and July 2013..to me, the former trainee, the days I thought would never come to me passed by so quickly. The past month were so busy and exciting that I can’t even remember what I did during those times. Also, after promoting, we’ve finally had a goodbye stage..the term itself is very foreign..you could say that the feeling is very new to us. It makes us think of a lot of different things. ARMYs, what did you think of our goodbye stage and overall month-long promotions? Were you satisfied with them?
As rookies, lots of things were very new to us and as we tried things for the first time we thought “Ah, reality is like this." and “In these kind of situations, you have to act like this." We learned little by little to create a basis for future promotions we’ll have as Bangtan for the next ten, hundred years. It was a very important time for us. It’s a time I’ll never be able to revisit. How nice would it be if we could be this busy and able to have fun times with ARMYs again in the future? We’ll work hard so we can accomplish that.
Like in the lyrics of Born Singer, the pressure to appear cool and perform well was big. I don’t think the three-year training period was long or short, and I don’t think it was not enough either. However, now that we’ve actually debuted, I see all my weaknesses and look back at my past self. I guess this is how you grow up, right? I want to believe that it is. These are hectic days when I think deeply about the pressure and responsibility I have as the leader. I expect that it’ll be like this in the future as well.
As time goes on we’ll have more goodbye stages, but they probably won’t make us as moved as we did for our first-ever goodbye stage. I’m just happy that we successfully finished without running into trouble or getting sick. Of course we’ll have to do well in the future as well, but as the old saying goes: “Too much is as bad as too little."
If we don’t become too greedy and work as hard as we are right now, I’m sure that we’ll be able to become bigger and better. The ARMYs here right now, you’re Bangtan’s first, right? After lots of time has passed by, I want us to be a group you can proudly say you were a fan of since the very beginning. So you can say “I was a fan of Bangtan since the start!" And so everyone can be jealous; jealous that you knew us since the beginning.
Our future first stages and goodbye stages..all the stages that Bangtan will have! We want to make them something that ARMYs won’t be disappointed in.
We hope that you’ll always stay by our side! We’re here because you’re here ㅠㅠ You know that, right?
I love you!

Suga

Hello to the ARMYs I love, it’s Suga.
It’s already been a month since we debuted, the thing I’ve been dreaming of for the past three years. We’re already at the end of our first album “2 Cool 4 Skool" promotions. This period of time felt both long and short but it was fun and exciting because of our ARMYs always being there!!
Truthfully I’m a very blunt person and am not good at expressing my emotions but I was surprised at how much smiley and lively I became around ARMYs :)
This is the first time in 21 years that I’ve expressed myself so much. It’s also the first time I was I received so much attention so I’m worried that I made a lot of mistakes or disappointed some people. Please know that those were definitely not intentional.
One day I thought “I’m the same person as I was three years ago, so maybe all this love and support I’m receiving is a bit too much for me.." Maybe it’s just that I’m receiving love for staying the same and working hard? I won’t easily receive your love and we’ll work hard to become a Bangtan ARMYs won’t be disappointed in.
There were many nights when I stayed up all night because I was excited by the realization that I was able to do music like this. I’m so happy that I can share this excitement with my Bangtan friends and ARMYs. This is the happiest moment of my life.
We’re receiving so much love that I don’t know how to express my happiness with words. Thank you so much and I love you all!!
ARMYs!!
We’ll work a thousand, no, a hundred thousand times harder to improve. Bangtan exists because of you all.
We’ll continue to produce good music so please watch over us.
I love you, ARMYs!!

Jin

Hello.
I’m Bangtan’s eldest hyung, Jin.
It’s already been a month since our debut.
Time went by so fast, I don’t even know how we spent that one month.
When I think of our debut, I think of our June 12th showcase. I don’t think I’ll ever forget the emotions I felt then…
Preparing backstage and counting down until the lights turned on and listening to our ARMYs cheering..
I was close to tears backstage after realizing that I finally reached the day when I could hear these cheers.
I don’t think I can describe how the seven of us felt when we held hands backstage and listened to the cheers.
And so, this is how we started our debut album promotions.
There are a few scenes I remember from our promotions.
One day after coming off the stage, I looked at the members and thought “I’m so glad that I’m sharing this moment with these guys." There were also days when the seven of us sat together and checked our fancafe and Twitter despite our lack of sleep, showing off to one another about messages we got. There were times when I also looked around the audience while on stage to memorize all our ARMYs’ faces. Haha.
We had such a fun time with our album promotions but we finally reached our goodbye stage…the goodbye stages were sad but we’ll work hard to come back with a new and cooler image, so please wait.
A while ago I wrote on the fancafe and said that the members always appear in my dreams, but now, ARMYs appear in my dreams.
I believe that this is a sign that like the members, ARMYs are people we can’t be separated from, right?
I hope that we can continue to have a loving relationship with us! Haha.
I love you. It’s a phrase that you can see many times but still feel excited about when you read it.
I love you all.
Have a good day.

J-Hope

Hello ARMYs!
I’m the hopeful existence J-Hope.
We always write on the fancafe and Twitter but because this is our first time writing out something by hand, it’s interesting and I’m happy. Although my handwriting isn’t pretty…please read it and think that it’s cute @_@
Hm..June 12th, showcase. June 13th, first-ever stage..
It seems like yesterday that we were in the practice room training but somehow we’ve finished our “2 Cool 4 Skool" promotions.
I was nervous by the thought of going up on the stages that I’ve only seen on TV and the internet, but the sight of me standing on those stages made me feel something new.
It’s still so cool to think that there are people cheering for us. Hahaha.
June and July 2013, 20 years old.
Those two months were the most important and precious moments my life.
The time when we finished our first stage and said “You did well." while patting each other on the back..I think that was our happiest and at the same time saddest moment.
I feel like an extremely happy person because of the large amount of support the members and I receive. It’s so much that I sometimes wonder if we deserve it all. Thank you for being with us.
During this promotion period, I felt a wide range of emotions I never felt before and experienced some things for the first time - I think this will help Bangtan be better in the future. For our next album..and the album after that..we will be a Bangtan that always grows and will never forget our original intentions. And to the ARMYs we’re always thankful for!! ARMYs..I love you a lot @-@ hehehe thank you, I love you hopehopehope~

Jimin

ARMYs, it’s Jimin.
ARMYs! It’s already been a month since our debut.
All seven of us always wondered ‘I wonder what it’s like to stand on a stage?’ and trained hard, counting down to the d-day.
We finished our showcase and first-ever stage and after a crazy month, somehow reached our goodbye stage. I’m still confused as to how this happened. Hehe.
I always focused on showing a cooler side of myself to fans and never about the goodbye stages, so I’m sad and disappointed.
If there’s anything I remember from promotions, it’s definitely the performances!
Not just the stage, but performances when fans cheer for us as we sing and dance.
Before we go on stage, the seven of us always hold hands and say “Bangtan Bangtan Bang Bangtan!" and listen to the cheering of our fans..will there ever be a time when I’m as excited as I am then? I’m so happy.
Before we go up, I think “What if I make a mistake. I have to show the best side of me…" and worry, but cheering together with the members helps me feel better.
The ARMYs who help make performances fun. Thank you.
We’ll come back as a Bangtan that’s cooler and won’t disappoint.
Don’t cry because you miss us while we’re away~ㅎㅎ
(Actually, I might be the one crying because I miss you all ㅠㅠ)
We’ll come back soon with a cooler image so please wait for us~
We’ll be a Bangtan that works hard.
We always say this but ARMYs, I love you and thank you.
I also really love Bangtan!!

V

Hello, it’s V.
ARMYs, how were Bangtan’s debut promotions?
Time went by so fast; I’m confused..
The last of the seven members, I was first to be introduced. I remember being very nervous before going up on stage during the showcase but calmed down after hearing ARMYs cheering and ended up having a fun time.
After our first showcase we had music programs and fan meeting when we finally met our fans! And fansigns..
I wanted to get closer to ARMYs during this promotion period and we were lucky enough to meet a lot so even now, I’m not upset about ending promotions vV
(Excuse me while I go wipe my tears…ㅠㅠ)
Don’t be too sad that we’re not promoting right now because we’ll make sure to update the fancafe, Twitter, and the blog, so have fun while waiting for us~^^
Hm. Before writing this letter, I thought about how we could repay the constant love and support we get from ARMYs and came up with this answer: “Become a Bangtan that ARMYs won’t be disappointed in!"
We won’t slack off and will be a constantly-growing Bangtan and V. You’ll watch over us, right?
VV ARMYs! (VV = I love you)
This was Bangtan’s V! 

Jungkook

to. ARMYs
Hello. It’s Jungkook.
I always get anxious during fan meetings and fansigns and don’t speak a lot at those kind of events. Every time I look back on them, I regret it a lot. So “If only I could speak well…" has become my wish. But that doesn’t mean that I’m good at writing letters or posts. As you can see…ㅎㅎ
But I hope you can read this letter until the very end with your warm hearts, no matter how boring it is.
A month has passed and we’re reaching our second month already, but it feels like only a week has gone by.
Time flies when you’re having fun, right?
I think it’s because it’s fun to stand on stage and meet fans. Haha.
Hm. I felt a lot of things during this promotion period. It was a time where I thought a lot about music and myself. Through music programs, the radio, photos, and interviews. And also what I should do to make ARMYs happy..
I’m still awkward with expressing myself but I hope ARMYs understand my honesty.
Uh..and I get really nervous when I sing on stage..
It’s because I want to show everyone a cooler side of me but I’m still lacking in a lot of areas..
I want to practice more and show a better side of me next time.
So our goal right now is to become better at live performances and show ARMYs cool stages.
I’ll practice night and day so that when our next album comes out, people will think “Ah, Jungkook tried really hard."
The <2 Cool 4 Skool> goodbye stage was fun and enjoyable but at the same time, disappointing and sad.
But don’t worry. We Bangtan are working very hard on our next album and are trying to make good music for ARMYs so please wait for us. If we didn’t have a fan meeting I would have ended up crying in the dorm.
ㅎㅎ
We will continue to be a Bangtan that works hard and will not forget our original intentions.
I love you, ARMYs ♥
