namjoon: to the people whom i love, i hope you are well.

it seemed the day would never come, but here we are, at last.
i swear there were a million things i wanted to share
but putting pen to paper after such a long time has been quite the challenge.

namjoon: it has been such a great joy
to live as a member of BTS these last 10 years.
i’ve always said this, but
the end of a journey can always be a door leading to a new one!
i have absolutely no doubt that by the time we return, there will be something even greater awaiting us

suga on weverse live: “last night in bangkok” translation thread

yoongi: i am here to say hello while i eat dinner tonight. i have thai food here. i had thai food yesterday. and the day before. and the day before that. i even ordered a thai food truck for the haegeum music video yoongi: even when i’m back in korea, i always order thai food.
when i came to thailand to film the haegeum music video, we got two food trucks. a korean food one, and a thai food.
it was some part of the duck… like noodles with intestines, but i can’t remember the name?

namjoon: hello everyone
it's been a while
i wonder if you all are doing well
i've been getting around, enjoying the little things in life
been trying to really live in the present
it's been a good time for some introspection & getting to know who i am as a person namjoon: these days, i'll think of all the things i want to say
but then i'll forget about it all over again
it's nearing the 10 year mark since "we" came to exist [as a team]

and at times
it's
made me curious
to hear what you all think
well no, more than sometimes, i suppose

🔗:

(dancers begin to walk off of the stage)
jimin: now a round of applause for our dancers please!
army: (cheering)
jimin: truly, they worked so hard time stamp 04:30

jimin: (to the dancers) ah, you worked so hard thank you! woo~~
(sits down and waves to the dancers)

💜: nooo
jm: but did you all have fun?
💜: yesss!

jimin’s weverse live: “thank you”

jimin: (waving) can you guys hear me fine? can you hear my voice? oh, you can, great! yes, that’s right. i just… finished up the inkigayo pre-recording.
i’m live because of course there’s a few things i wanted to talk about! jimin: but also, i just wanted to say thank you to all of the armys who came all the way out to the filming location just for the pre-recording. it was quite cold outside today, and i really appreciate our armys who were there with me.

[kor/eng translation of a poem by Gi Hyeong do]
"Jealousy is my power"

after a great stretch of time had inched away,
and my bookmark, worn thin, dropped this paper, left to fall to the ground
by then, my heart had already built up mounds of factories "how foolish, that my heart had found so many things to record and remember
like a dog leisurely taking a slow trot under the clouds,
i must have underestimated how easily i'd get tired, constantly hesitating, but suspended in the air…

suga’s weverse live: “it is my birthday”

yoongi: (removing the birthday cat balloon on his chair)
hello, everyone. it’s suga here.
it is my birthday… and it is the morning.
do you guys get a notification or something? how do you all join the live so fast… yoongi: so our company prepared this… this cat balloon you see sitting behind me. can you believe they sell things like this out there? guys, it’s a cat balloon. but it’s wearing. a. birthday. hat. can you believe that?
guys, this is kinda scary.

jimin: hello armys, it's jimin here.
how are you all wrapping up the year 2022?
our elders always say it, but i'm starting to believe it more & more as the years go by.
it really feels like this year went by quickly, leaving behind regret for how it could’ve gone. jimin: well, it was certainly a year where we didn’t get to see you very often, right?
but as quickly as the year flew by, it was a busy one.
nearing the end of covid, we finally got to gather with you to smile, cry, & be happy together
we released our album, went on music shows

translation thread: namjoon on weverse live!

namjoon: hi everyone, this is my first time on weverse live so... sorry in advance for any bumps in the road!
(clears his throat) ah aH why's my throat like this..
i'm going to go get some water, so hold on a second!
(leaves room) (drinking some kind of chilled tea)
namjoon: ah i was so thirsty!
hello! hi guys (in english) what's popping? what's up sup?
sorry i didn't get to shave today so..
(in english) sorry for my beard!
i just wanted to say hello! oh.. this is not it. i'm gonna scoot back a little bit

"bts vlive: what's going on"

jungkook: i thought i needed to come here to set things straight.
the bangtan team dinner was... meant to be this place where we can comfortably chat and everything.
i promise you, we have absolutely no plan to disband. bangtan sonyeondan is forever. jungkook: oh another thing i want to set straight.
about the mattress... it was true that i had a mattress in the living room but the members were exaggerating! i feel wronged.

taehyung: we are happy.
the seven of us may have different interests, likes, and dislikes,
we may have differing personalities,
and we may live life differently,
but because we think of our army with one heart, we knew run! bts had to be continued. continued.

taehyung: for the last ten years, we never stopped looking up towards what awaited us.
we were scared.
we each sacrificed "me" for "us," for our team. and there was always happiness, but undoubtedly closely followed by the exhaustion and difficulty that came after.

weverse 220614

op: "you worked so hard. you did well. you deserve to rest.
i am a fan of bts,
but i am just as much a fan because you are human.
we may not all be astoundingly impressive or great,
but i believe we can all be rays of hope for others…"

taehyung: thank you, truly translation of op's message continued.

"to avoid showing you're tired when you feel tired,
finding it difficult to say you need a break when you need to rest…
you all are in your shining twenties
and despite it all, you gave it your all for your dream, dedicated to your fans…

(watching a "try not to laugh" youtube video)
taehyung: (scrolling on phone and with a straight face) i am actually really great at "try not to laugh" videos

(gets food from staff outside the studio)
taehyung: (resumes video) 😶
(shows a tiny smile but immediately skips ahead) video clip: the bell ringing episode of run! bts
taehyung: (tiny smile but back to straight face)

(20min recording+uploaded to their channel: vlive.tv/video/280684)

(picking up where they left off)
taehyung: right. so... the jackets!
yoongi: jackets.
joon: jackets.
taehyung: you know the part in the choreo where...+ taehyung: ...where the seven of us have to link together our jackets? and the fact that it wasn't going to work if even one of us made a mistake (explains to the other members)
yoongi: the part where everything could go sideways if we made a mistake?
hobi: yes it was quite a risk

bts live translation: purple you💜

jungkook: we saw so many amazing performances
jimin: it was so meaningful for us!
taehyung: honestly, we saw so many great performances, it really inspired us
jungkook: yoongi hyung seemed a bit..

taehyung: i do not feel sad at all
jin: who's upset??

+smiley hobi w/ slogan "we are each other’s love, each other's fans"

hobi: everyoneㅠㅠ you all were able to take some warm showers, right? ㅠ our armys.. ㅠ you got caught in so much rain ㅠㅠ..
i’ve been worried.. ㅠㅠㅠ
hoping you all got back home safely …💕 it's been a while since we've had a concert performing in the rain.. i just got so excited i said 'oh well, who cares' and had way too much fun..

but now my calves are…
if it was all for the sake of our armys who came to see us today..
my calves, hey that's nothing!!! haahhaha

weverse 220311 @BTS_twt

hobi: today was pretty cold, wasn’t it??
now that the concert has ended, i can’t help but worry about your health/if you all feel well
i really hope you all were able to have a good time at the concert (and return safely). 😚 because it was our first in-person seoul concert in a while, i tried my hardest to keep it cool and hold back (my excitement) a little bit, telling myself 'let's make this a great one/let’s give them a clean performance'..
but i’m not so sure i controlled myself well.. hehe

220310 on instagram

hello, this is jungkook. now, why did i rec- no why did i start recording? just because... is NOT the reason why!
we finished our concert, and i just got back home. i.. wanted to go live, but i don't have the equipment for that so i'm filming a short video. so that's why i'm here. (claps)
now, we've finally done a concert in korea! officially, it's been 2 and a half years, but actually, it feels like... 23 years. (more claps) wow, we've actually done it.
today, overall, i was so happy, so happy. it felt just like coming back home..
