“For a while I’ve wanted to write a song about 안녕 (annyeong)…
One day I started to not like the word 안녕 so much. When I see people I love, and hear the word 'goodbye' as we part ways or go home, it’d leave a stain on my heart.

“Instead, something as simple as “see you then” or “see you later” is better
I’ve tried many times to write a song abt 안녕 but I keep failing because that word is the world itself to me.
It's a teasing word that cld mean the v beginning & also the v end +

“And that (안녕) is the world that I always obsess over…the dualism of life, it felt like us (humans). That which I love and despise so much. (I can't believe that) a two word syllable…can be the complete
beginning and also the end/last. +

“There’s nothing funnier or crueler than this.

Unlike the way I'm seen by those
who shallowly know me, I am a lot more pessimistic (world-weary)…Or maybe it's just because I'm becoming an adult…I question why 안녕 approaches me as an ending. +

“I remember my heart dropping when I heard 안녕 instead of a usual greeting…It wasn’t long before I became afraid. Even tho it probably won’t happen I thought “Is it the last…?” Because fear is made in the imagination. Regardless of where it’s started+

“I want to write a song titled 안녕 one
day. Maybe when I can understand the word a little bit more? It's similar to wanting to make music about my parents, I have no idea where to start speaking. Because they are words that are the world itself. +

“I am curious what kind of meaning the word 안녕 has on you at this time of your life. Since it's too famous and
such a worn out word, it may just be a dull word without much meaning. It could be the start of a happy beginning or could also be traumatic +

“안녕
안녕?
안녕!
안녕,
안녕.
안녕..
안녕…

Just one period, one exclamation mark can cause a totally different wave of emotion in me. That is the world and life I think about.

I'm writing this as I listen to Adele's ‘Hello’ +

Namjoon Fancafe 2015.10.25

“In English 안녕 is hello and goodbye so I thought maybe it would be different. After thinking about it, ‘hello’ is an initial greeting but also has the meaning of 여보세요. Adele expressed a complete separation with ‘hello’. As expected, we are not particularly different…+

“Later on, if I make music on 안녕 please listen to it a lot. Since I
probably will have had quite a hard time writing the song.”

In January 2016 Namjoon shared a clip of a draft song, 안녕, he produced and JK sang
🎶 너무 싫었던 말. 이제 내가 하는 말. 너에게 건네는 마지막 인사.
(The words I truly hated. The words I’m about to say to you. This is the last good-bye from me to you) 🎶

Then, of course, in 2018 Namjoon released badbye with eAeon
(written and produced by Namjoon & El Capitan)

🎶Bad bad bye
No goodbye
Bad bad bye
Don’t say goodbye
Cuz it’s a lie
…
Kill me kill me softly x 3
날 산산조각 내줘
(Shatter me into pieces)🎶

In his VLive behind of mono. Namjoon talked about working with eAeon on badbye and said that while badbye is a short song, that’s also what makes it perfect 🥺💜
