🐨 ARMY, you’re listening right? First, thank you once again for this big award. This year, we accomplished and did a lot of things. We got #1 on Billboard, we performed at the Grammys and we went to the UN. But we haven’t been able to do the most +

important thing, which is to see you. Though it’s a real shame, bc you showed your love online, we’re still able to add another big award to our list and it’s a huge honor. It’s kind of tiring to even say “let’s meet again when this is over” so I’ll just say we have a concert +

coming up in Oct right? We’ll prepare hard and we’ll be working hard to do what we’re supposed to be doing, so ARMYs should also work hard on what you should be doing and we’ll meet with a smile. TYSM

It’s natural/obvious but I want to tell you thank you so much for being our driving force and giving us motivation. We’re still lacking but we’ll work harder to become a cooler/better artist to show you even better music. Thank you so much. TYSM to the fans as well.

🐥 Thank you from the bottom of my heart, everyone, for giving us this award. I’m already so thankful that you have strength during this pandemic, but you are the ones who listen to our music and even give comfort to us and I think it’s going to be hard to express how thankful +
