BANGTANIE - A NEW CHAPTER BEGINS - Heart-to-heart with Bangtanie!

Bangtanie, one word evokes love, two words evoke pride.

I used to think that no idol group could hold my attention for that long, and sometimes I even doubted my own feelings, wondering if I really wanted to be with you guys forever.

My Bangtanie, how hard you've worked and strived for the past nine years, how could I not see it? I know that every moment you've been recognized on the honor roll, every little bit of it, has been earned through your sweat, blood, and tears. Because I've witnessed everything you've been through, I've vowed to myself that, besides you, no one can compare to, replace, or judge your success.

My Bangtanie, you must believe that you are precious, deserving, and our unparalleled pride.

Whenever I think of you guys, I'll speak with absolute pride, and in my heart, I'll think of you with immense admiration. From an unknown group to a towering force in K-pop, it's all thanks to your hard work and dedication. There's no luck involved, no favoritism, because no success in this world is achieved through chance. I believe that all the difficulties and challenges you've overcome are the flowers that will adorn your future success.

I remember at that festa party, you guys just decided to launch solo projects, just to be apart for a while, as Yoongi hyung said. Yet, tears streamed down your faces. Namjoon broke down in tears while talking about the group's future, about ARMY's feelings. It was then that everyone started crying, not because they were tired, but because of the time they'd spent together, never apart. The future holds many challenges, and it made me cry too, out of love for you all. I don't know how to express all my love for you. It's understandable, though; for nine years you've been together, always together, always appearing before ARMY as seven people.

As you enter a new chapter, you'll have more time to improve yourselves, to perfect your own selves. Hobi hyung told Tae:We can focus on our solo projects this time, and later, when we come together as a group, that synergy will be unlike anything else. We'll be better than before."BangTan announced that they will be focusing on individual activities in the near future, but instead of releasing mixtapes, they will be releasing solo albums. The first is our Hobi with the album "Jack in the Box," the youngest member is participating in "In the Soop" with the Wooga members, and the remaining members are also preparing for this new beginning.

I hope you all stay true to yourselves; the path ahead will only broaden, and the sky will become even bluer. I hope you always believe in the efforts you put in every day, that one day they will bear fruit, and most importantly, always believe in your own worth.
You guys will always be our pride.
