hobi: being the last day of our concert, i feel quite emotional & happy.. it feels really good to have worked hard to prepare for this. it’s so fascinating - it really feels like you all are here with us right now!
(1/3)
hobi: thank you so, so much.. there’s been lot of encouraging/positive news these days, and our album is coming out soon..
even in a situation like this, we’re always trying our best to plan & move with the situation to show you [our best selves]/work hard for you.
(2/3)
hobi: so please continue to look forward for what’s ahead for us, and i just want to tell you all that.. you all mean so much and your energy is a driving force for us! love you~
(3/3)
jimin: i won’t cry - i think it was enough to have cried last night. (bts: cry! cry!)
jimin: the members teased me so much yesterday.. i’m so happy & grateful to army, even behind screens, that we could hear your voices and see you.
(1/3)
jimin: hearing your cheers is the most beautiful sound for us, it’s our strength, and our everything - it’s what we work & live for.
i first heard your cheers at the olympic gymnastics arena..i remember saying, hearing “that sound” is something only artists can experience.
(2/3)
jimin: though you all aren’t here, in front of our eyes right now, i’m so glad we could hear your “sound” today..& i hope our “sound” can be conveyed to you all. i was so, so happy today.. and we’ll prepare to come back to see you again. thank you much! i love you so much~
(3/3)
🐨: you know what? i’m happy. i’m so happy. i’m literally so happy. i have no religion, but i thank God we’re living in 2020. i thank God we have this technology so we can be connected with no latency, see eachothers' faces. you’re literally here, it feels like you’re here.
(1/4)
joon: i thank God that we can do this. at least we can do this. at this kind of stage, it’s no one’s fault. it’s not your fault, it’s not my fault, not our fault - it’s not anyone’s fault. we’re just people, humans doing what we can do! & you know, [for] these 6-7 years..
(2/4)
joon: we’ve been to america, asia, everywhere. we saw our faces, felt our energy, charged eachothers’ batteries. we literally did all those kinds of things. i believe in those years & the time, you know..
the belief & the energy that we built together will never betray us.
(3/4)
joon: so i’m happy.. and i hope you can smile and feel it, feel the same and vibe like we’re doing right now, together.. i hope you’re happy. stay safe. thank you very much, i love you.

jk: i was talking with namjoon hyung yesterday.. corona is.. something that - from the moment we were born, till the day our lives end - should never had been in our lives.. but had covid come to us 3-4 years ago, would we still have been able to perform for you, online, today?
jk: i took some time to think about.. whether we would have been able to see each other from different parts of the world like this. i felt really thankful that with this technology, we can see eachother face to face & hear your cheers, even from places far away.
(2/4)
jk: how could we not be upset that we couldn’t see you & hear your cheering in person? for both you and us.. but in this moment, i really feel thankful, and i received a lot of healing.. performing yesterday and today gave me a sense of relief as a performer, gave me hope.
(3/4)
jk: i just feel so happy right now, and in our work going forward, i think we can move forward, step by step, energetically & happily. thank you for watching us, and please continue to make precious memories with us.
thank you for your love & support. we purple you~ you know it??
jin: for me, to tell you the truth.. i feel.. quite upset. we’d been preparing this setlist since last year, and had it gone to plan, we were to perform, traveling the world this year, but it’s upsetting we only had the chance to perform the set twice, it breaks my heart.
(1/3)
jin: having to see our armys only through the screen is quite frustrating, and as i said when i spoke with the members yesterday, the energy and vibes we get from a performance are completely different from how it feels to see you through a screen..
(2/3)
jin: but, as they say, even when bad things happen, good things will surely come next.. they always do.
i believe the next time, when we meet again, we will be two, three times as happy/have two, three times the fun! till the day we meet next, let’s be healthy. i love you!
(3/3)
yoongi: while preparing for this concert, we watched 'break the silence'.. seeing the stadium tour on film, it felt like a far away dream.. and the fact that seeing audience members in the stands felt very surreal.. i guess it shows we’ve gotten used to a life like this..
(1/4)
yoongi: as others said, i’ve been feeling grateful that we can meet eachother online, thanks to technology.
as you know, it’s a hard time for those in the industry, not just us, but for artists & staff around the world. so i’m thankful for the pure fact that we can perform.
(2/4)
yoongi: it’s a shame, but something that can’t be helped. we do what we can, and i’m grateful that you really enjoy seeing us perform.
preparing for this reminded me that i’m a person who does music, one who performs.. which makes me love & enjoy music/performing even more.
(3/4)
yoongi: everyone, until this [difficult period] comes to an end, please take good care of your health & remember, we don’t know when we could meet next! please make sure you’re completely ready for that next time: we’ll return with even more amazing performances. thank you!
(4/4)
taehyung: army.. army?? be honest.. you’re happy to see us, right? to tell you the truth, we almost couldn’t perform this concert. but very luckily, we were able to go through with it. i’m so glad & so thankful we could see you like this!
(1/6)
taehyung: there’s someone i’d like to see.. mr. chairman bang shihyuk! it was really thanks to him, and he made a way for us to perform, so.. shihyuk-hyung, thank you for making this happen.
(2/6)
taehyung: after yesterday, and today.. our concert has come to an end, but i can’t quite say this was a concert we had together with army..
i think i’ll just be waiting for that day we can meet again, working even harder to prepare & to be ready with all of my might.
(3/6)
taehyung: of course, we’ll remember this day as a truly amazing memory in itself, but if only a day spent together with army will come..
i think i would have the strength to walk from seoul to busan overnight.
🐿: be careful what you say
🐥: alright new content lined up!
(4/6)
(🐯: i’d walk from seoul to busan in a night)
🐨: it’d take a month!
🐥: you’re alone on this one
🐹: w camera crew!
🐨: let’s do a human docu: "Trek Across the Country"
🐰: let's do "Walk a Million Miles to Busan"
🐥: this is why i’m careful what i say
🐨: "From COEX to BEXCO"
🐯: i just wanted to say that’s how i'd feel!
i guess i really can't live without our armys. talking & having fun with army on weverse while preparing dynamite.. in those moments, i was happy as i could be.
let’s create something we can work on together. purple u & miss u~

🐱: "we [will finally] be able to share the new [single] that we worked on with a happy heart. as much as this song was a source of strength for us, we want this work to be of strength to many people out there."
🐰: "in a time that many people out there have been enduring challenging times, we hope this new song can be a 'healing' song that can bring happiness to everyone."
(2/2)
🐥: "[this time], we’ve been able to come back/greet everyone with a very fun/exciting song!"
🐿: "we’ve come back with a bright and exciting/cheerful song. we hope many people will enjoy it!"
- members were interviewed to get an idea of what themes/stories they wanted to share & what they were presently feeling
- joon feels this album encompasses the answer to their beginnings, successes, and what they are/have become
- shadow: helped yoongi on the english, thinks it really fits him well
- black swan: rewatched the movie to grasp the theme better, it’s a difficult/painful movie to watch
- filter: fits jimin and his many filters well, and he well-expressed the melody and lyrics true to himself
- my time: liked how jungkook worked on the lyrics to be better fitting
- louder than bombs: felt like the voices of other members were reassuring and comforting him, exactly how he felt
- on: jk came up with “on” to tie in “n.o” like bwl & bil; jimin often joked, “bring it!”
joon mentioned that he's alone at the studio, as some members are still filming, others are done, but he doesn't expect anyone to come in during the live.
(he also mentioned he hasn't been able to get much sleep)
"it's a little all over the place right now, it's already been 3 weeks since the album release, run! bts will release today, and since promotions are over, yoongi-hyung's birthday was yesterday, etc..."
Live started with Sasha Sloan's song, "Smiling When I Die"

Hi everyone~ Yes, that's right. It's thirty minutes before my birthday. I wanted to say hello and spend this birthday with you all, so I went live!
I'll be live until 12! Or should I at least go past 12... Talk with you all, and at around 11:50 I'll light the candles.
I say this all the time, but the fact that I can get so many birthday wishes from so many people the day I was born is such a happy thing!
"What are you doing for your birthday?"
What would I do? Of course I need to prepare for comeback. Yes, this live is "love you, hope-ah," right? From what I've heard, I said I wanted to hear "I love you Hope-ah!" at 2:18 am... I said this ridiculous thing, yes.
