RM: It's only been a few weeks since we met last for previous conference. Thanks for joining us again.

J-Hope: I'm your Hope! (haha)
I missed what V said--he was the first one to talk though. Sorry, I fell off my chair and screamed!
JHope: We never imagined we'd reach No. 1. It feels like a dreams. I don't know if this is reality and I'm still shaking and so excited. (He has black hair and you can see some forehead!!!)
J-Hope: It's such an honor for us and for the fans. We r'cd lots of love from fans that allowed us to keep going. That is what allowed BTS to become who we are for for Jhope to become who I am. (He did finger hearts.) (They're all smiling and look super cute.)
Jimin: We were so thrilled yesterday. We calmed down a little bit. It's something we never relally imagine would happen. At some point, it was something we'd like to do. (He has on a brown jacket that offsets his blond hair) Still doesn't feel like reality.
Jimin is thanking the Big Hit staff and wants to repay.
RM: I was waiting all night. I was first to rcv news (about #1). We had a full day of practice. I wanted to go to sleep. I didn't want to overexcite myself. I thought about our past recording and practicing together.

RM: I wanted to preserve my emotions. I think my contribution to all this is very small. It's really to ARMY and staff and to the press. 😭
JK: I heard the news a little later and I wasn't sure if the page I was looking at was really real. I was out of it a bit. (He's got on a light brown striped jacket and you can see his cute tattoos. He's 23!!)
He's giving kudos to staff and ARMY and thanked press.

JK: It was my bday a couple days ago so it felt liek a huge bday present and I was glad I was born and want to thank mom and dad..and also ARMY!
JIN: When I saw news, we had chatroom and RM posted a picture of the release. NJ said this is a doctored picture. 10 min later he posted the same picture and I realized this is a real ss and we commun. with fans on Weverse. (He has on a brown crewneck sweater and white shirt)
Jin: This is a song we made to share with our fans and we are so happy. Thank you so much.
Suga: I'm still havbing a hard time grasping this. It became a goal. It feels like a dream we have reached this goal. There was a surge of excitement. I had to pinch myself.

Suga has on glasses, white button down and black vest. He's smiling his gummy smile and I could die.
V: I didn't think BTS would be in such a limelight by the global audience. We came to Seoul tog. from all the provinces. We had nothing, a small practice studio in the basement. These mem. are fresh in my mind. (I can't see. I'm crying, guys...😭)
V talks about how the taxi driver cheated him and his dad when he first came to Seoul. (He has on white shirt, brown tie, grey vest) These are fun memories now. I think today i'm going to set down any worries and just be happy and cheer for us. I hope eveyrone is smiling.
Jhope is amused by V and smiles at him.
JK: It wasn't possible for us to achieve that kind of thing and we couldn't bleive it was real. It was a dream. That's what we felt. We had that result and wanted to reach even more heights. To reach even higher.
(They're all smiling. ADORABLE!)
(They're all smiling. ADORABLE!)
Suga: I want to be careful about what I say about my goals. (Smiles) I start to think about what the next should be. I feel pressured to mention our new goal (laughs).
Suga: It would be great to receive an award but that's not our goal. Getting to perform on the Grammy stage is nice. (There are too many voices going on now and the dogs next door are barking so this is an estimate of what he said. Sorry!)
They're answering press questions now. I wonder if they'll pick mine... (haha I'm not holding my breath)
Suga: (Korean press is sending them congratulations and the boys are saying thank you to them)
Someone is thanking them for their music. Jin is smiling and saying thank you. (The q's were sent earlier.) He says he would like to bring more good news in the future.
JK: Thank you for following our career. Because peopel like you exist, we work harder. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Q from press is they're impressed by Jimin's posting on social media about crying happy tears.
Jimin: I don't know why I cried so much. At first, I heard at 3:30, after 4 a.m. this news and I was crying until 7 a.m. and then I fell asleep, exhausted from crying. I was w/JK.

Jimin: We were thrilled and excited and I started crying and then we talked with other members. Said to NJ it's because of you we've accomplished all of this. Looking back, they were teh things we wanted to do and cont. to do and kept doing. And this felt like acknowledgment
Jimin: To do this in such diff times for everyone and to be praised and it made me happy and cry and gave me energy. What I really wanted to do was perform. I really want to see our fans and I just want to see ARMY so much. Eveyrone wanted to go on stage. We woudl've cried.
RM: When you do something with sincerity, ti's not always appreciated by people. There are other things that hadn't come to fruition. But this was teamwork and I feel the milestones we reached, it's the power of music and performance. The language was familar w/American public.
Sitting left to right: V, J-Hope, Suga, Jimin, Jin,RM, JK
(My husband came in and interrupted me about Covid cases at my son's school, so I missed a bit...)
Jimin is smiling and laughing.
V wants Jimin to show some of the moves and he's doing it. (Band loves it!)

Q4: They want BTS to talk to to thesmelves when they were starting out 7 years ago.
JHope: there were a lot of new groups. Only thing we could do was work as if our life depended on it. We went as hard as it could. We really wanted to get our name out. Our goal was so stay alive.

JHope: We've reached the goals we set out to reach 7 years ago and it feels the world has acknowledged and it makes me happy and proud. I would say to myself that this JHope really is someone who worked really hard. I want to tell him his efforts didn't betray him.
JHope: The members are really preciosu to me and a reason for my life and existence. Thank to the members for being with me for 7 years and be with me for the rest of my life. I love you (that's to all the members).
Jimin says he loves Jhope, too.

Q. What is ARMY to members?
Jin: Having the chart is ALL thanks to ARMY. They are someone we want to share good news with first. We just want to show positive sides and good things. DYNAMITE was a song that began as a desire to enjoy tog. with our fans.

They're all teasing NJ about his buff arms!
He says he's not working out that much.

RM: The start of 2020 was pretty good. WE had a comeback and on sked to tour. B4 spring we had Covid & weren't sure what we should do. We were a little angry. I would liek Covid to settle down. We don't know what awaits us. I hope we will rem as we tried our best.
RM: I would like to rem 2020 as we tried hard and this is the start of a new era. We are happy to reach top of chart, but I would be sad if that is what year is remembered for. (He means they want to tour and see fans)
Q is about their goals.
Jimin: I think you want something concrete but I can't give you a clear answer. I'll try. My op is we will try our best. There are things we have to do and can do. For future, we will cont to perform when we can, carefully. Situation with Covid isn't good

Jimin: in order for Covid to end, people are working very hard on cracking down on the disesase. We wneed a lot more time and energy for this situation to end. We need everyone to come tog to combine our efforts. I hope we can heal these peopel to the best of our ability.
Jimin: TO make happy,t his will be our goal. Just like Suga said, I would like to show people in other countries that there is a group called BTS. (RM is smiling) I would like to put on a concert, too.
RM: So many press wants to know our direciton. I'm grateful for having these opp to tell you what we want our future to be. Jimin said everything that needs to be said. I will add the GRAMMY awards is what all performers dream of. We woudl like to be nominated, too.
RM: all the concerts we do have been our dream. I have a complicaed mixed feeling. We have to put on more perofmnace but I don't know when that would be. We would liek to do a really big perform. but that feels very unrealistic right now.
RM: We will put on another concert. We will do our very best at the thigns we can do. We will never forget what we are doing. We will be as BTS as we possibly can. (CUTE!)
LENIKA's q is being asked I believe!!!!!
V: I was really surrpised. It was such a happy day, why was I crying? We wondered if we woudl stand on all these stages. Performing itself seems like a dream come true. Thinking that we have touched ARMY is something I'd like to applaud.
