From a fan's perspective, I believe J-Hope's interview was more than just news about a photoshoot; it was an issue that truly resonated with me. In particular, his statement that "BTS exists today because all seven of us were in sync" felt even more impactful because, while it seemed like an obvious truth, it is a genuine sentiment rarely heard. It is a story made possible only by a team that has been together for such a long time, and the sincerity and mutual trust contained within it made me, as a fan, feel unexpectedly choked up.
It was also very impressive to see him personally explain the meaning behind the album 'Arirang,' as well as 'Swim' and '2.0.' It was easy to understand why this album is so loved, seeing that it goes beyond simply creating music to capturing his current life and future direction. In particular, hearing that J-Hope personally suggested the themes for the songs made me realize once again just how great his level of participation and sincerity is as an artist, and I think it is these elements combined that have made him a legend today.
From a fan's perspective, the most touching part was the story about the moment they reunited as a complete group. The way they described their comeback stage in Gwanghwamun as “the moment the seven become one again” resonated deeply with me because it held meaning beyond just a simple performance. It was an interview where I could feel the entire time and process that led to the BTS of today, and that is why I find myself rooting for this team even more. I believe that as long as this sincerity continues, the legend of BTS will continue.
