00:00Oh, great.
00:01So, what do you mean?
00:05Of course, we don't have to go out.
00:07But then, when you do this, you're not going to be able to go out.
00:09There are a lot of ways I am going to go out.
00:10If that's not true, I know.
00:12There's no more room than there.
00:15I mean, there's a lot of room with the room.
00:22I bet you're not going to go out.
00:27I mean, I'm going to run out.
00:29I'm going to go out, and you're going to go out.

03:30And I want to say thank you to Jungkook
03:32Because
03:35He invited me out
03:36Maybe a year and a half ago
03:38And we sat up there and we had a beautiful conversation
03:41Wow, so it's been like
03:42You know years, right?
03:44It's been a minute, but not as long as it's been for you
03:47And for ARMY
03:48It's been a minute for them too
03:49And you're here, I'm here
03:51ARMY are all there
03:53And they're waiting
03:54And have been waiting for this moment
03:55And are waiting for everything
03:56We're back!
03:57Yes
03:58We're back
03:59We're back
04:00How does it feel?
04:02I mean that's a big question for everybody
04:04But who wants to just quickly jump in
04:06And try to put into words how it feels
04:09For it to be real
04:10And for you to be together again after the time away
04:13Yeah, so exciting
04:15Well, it's been a long time for me
04:18It's been a long time for me
04:19It's been a long time for me
04:20I'm just like, you know
04:22This time for me is like
04:22I really feel like it's in the beginning
04:23And I feel like it's starting
04:24This time for fans out
04:29It's been a bit nervous
04:30It's a bit of a feeling
04:31It's a feeling like I'm very comfortable
04:31Is it?
04:33What do you know?
04:36There's so much to talk about
04:37And I want to thank you for giving us so much time today
04:40To try to get into it
04:41We have a whole day
04:42Which is beautiful
04:43because I have a whole day's worth of stuff to talk about.
04:45I have so many questions, and I'm going to do my best for you, ARMY.
04:48I think I'm going to start with World Wide Handsome.
04:52World Wide Handsome.
04:54I wanted to ask you what you missed the most about this,
05:00about being together with your friends.
05:02We've been living together for a long time.
05:06But this time, we've lived together for a long time.
05:12And we've just been able to eat food together.
05:14We've had a certain time to do something.
05:16I'm so happy and happy to see what we've had.
05:19I guess it's a bit of a new life in the past.
05:20When we wake up in the morning, we're all together,
05:22and we're all together, and we're all together,
05:26and we're all together, and we're all together,
05:27and then we're all together and we're all together,
05:28and we're all together.
05:28We'll be all together and we're all together.
05:30It's a really happy time, to me.
05:33Yeah, it's funny you mentioned past times.
05:35I wondered whether or not, you know,
05:37living together again after being away,
05:39yeah whether it felt kind of like the beginning in a strange way when the
05:44circumstances were very different it was starting out the room was much smaller
05:49yeah but did it did it feel a little similar to that I think so because it
05:54was really strange to live you know all together and in the same we lived in the
06:00same house like literally so we rented it rented a villa and then it was in like
06:06seven years that we have you know ever like lived actually like together and
06:11work together so that the session in LA for two months was a quite a like a big
06:17transition and it feels like a dream for us at the same time now Jungkook when we
06:23spoke here we talked about the idea of you all moving off separately to work on
06:28your own solo music it felt natural to all of you didn't feel forced did this
06:33feel as natural coming back together I know you said it was a bit strange living
06:36together but when you all found yourself coming together even having that
06:39first meeting like how did it begin

08:32It's such a unique situation to take a break from being a band and go and honor the commitment to
08:38your country, do military service, you know but you're still a musician
08:41You're still creative. You know, Suga, were you thinking about music? I mean, can you honor that commitment and do
08:47service?
08:47And are you still thinking about songs, melodies, did any of them make it onto the record while you were
08:52serving?

09:08You know, when you started out RM, you became leader of the group?
09:13Yes, sir
09:13You know, you're now in a situation where you've grown so much as people, not just as a band
09:19Yes
09:19What was that perspective like for you when everyone came back together and you could sort of take a look
09:23and go
09:23Okay, these guys I've known since we were kids, in some case teenagers, you know
09:27Yes
09:28How does your role as leader kind of evolve now everyone's growing up and have become, you know, men?
09:34Yeah, that's the trickiest point
09:37And I don't know, like sometimes I put like too much weight on myself
09:42Like, oh, you're the leader so you have to do something
09:45You have to, you know, like just get your ass off just the sofa and just go out and just
09:51like say something to the label
09:52Or like to the people or I don't know, music wise, people wise
09:57But it's like, you know, like you said, we're all kind of grown up, we're all like 30s right now
10:04And we all got back from the unique experience, which is, you know, like very unique
10:11And, but I think, you know, through the process from the LA session, it's been almost like, like half a
10:20year
10:21Like seven, eight months
10:23And I think there's still something that I can do for this team
10:27Like maybe just to communicate with the label
10:31Or, you know, could represent, could say some words
10:38That could, you know, bring the team, bring the whole team to a better level
10:42And I'd imagine also with, with the touring and whatnot to come and as things get busier and busier
10:47Yeah
10:48Those roles will start to feel a little more comfortable again of like, how we support each other
10:52Yes, and they are, you know, we, we, we've been together for our half of our lives
10:57Yeah
10:58Like 15 years
10:59Yeah
10:59That's a long time, that's like a family
11:01So, you know, as we see just like each other's eyes, we just understand, we just get it
11:05Like, oh, nah, you, you've been through your hard times, bro
11:08Then I'll do some more, I'll take care of you
11:10Like, we, we could just do that without any like words or something
11:15So, they support me and I just, I could, I could do my roles
11:19But, you know, it's, but it's always tricky that I put like, sometimes put too much weight on myself as
11:24a leader
11:24But at the same time, I feel like, I'm just one of the member, I'm just part of the team
11:28I'm just one of the seven, so I just, sometimes you just gotta let it go
11:32Just, just be, just go with the flow and just be part of, part of the team
11:35So, it's, I'm still figuring out
11:37Yeah
11:38What, what is a good leader, you know
11:40Yeah
11:41Good leader
11:41Good leader
11:43Thanks bro
11:43Thanks bro
11:44Thanks bro
11:45Thanks for amazing English
11:48Word
11:49Peace
11:52Yeah, this is a celebration, I mean, we're gonna talk about the music
11:54We're gonna talk about touring, we're gonna get into it
11:57We're gonna try and fill in some of the gaps everybody wants filled
11:59Um, but we're here celebrating and I would imagine that probably the biggest celebration so far was when Sugar finally
12:09came home because that was the last member of the band
12:12So can I ask you guys how you celebrated as a band when Sugar finally came home and how you,
12:17how that happened?
12:18To our friends, we all have to come together from who's house?
12:24We're in my house?
12:24It was my home my house, isn't it
12:25No, it's your home
12:26No, it's your house?
12:29Yeah, I've been having a house
12:30I was working at it
12:32Oh, that's true?
12:33It's our house?
12:34Oh, it's your house?
12:36What's that?
12:37They're like my house?
12:39I had to go to the United States.
12:43We had to meet in the morning before the night.
12:47I was a little bit more confident than the night before the night.
12:52I was a little bit older than what I was doing.
12:55Yeah, it must have been really special for you, Sugar, and for everybody.
13:01You know why? I saw this thing on social media the other day when you showed up on Weverse for
13:06the first time with your cat.
13:07And everyone went crazy in the theater. It was amazing.
13:12Why did you take some time to come back and say hi to ARMY?
13:16And how did it feel when you came back and realized that everyone was so happy to see you streaming
13:21for the first time?
13:22Well, it was a long time. I was just trying to do something.
13:28But when I was born, I was born and I was born and I was born.
14:02It's funny about that is whether you mean to or not when you become a person of mystery, it makes
14:07people go even crazier
14:08When you show up, it almost backfires a little bit
14:10Maybe in purpose
14:14Jim and I wanted to ask what you think you learned about yourself during the time away and in particular
14:20during military service when you came home
14:24How would you tested yourself and what did you learn about yourself?
14:26Wow
14:30I really thought I had a lot of time to go and go to work
14:36I had a lot of time when I was able to work and I felt that I had a lot
14:41of time
14:43I didn't have time
14:43And even though, I was very young
14:47I was in a very young age
14:51I was in a very young age
14:52I was in a very young age
14:53I was in a very young age
14:54I was also in a very hard time
14:58I was in a very hard time
15:04I was in a very young age
15:07I was in a very young age
15:09I was in a very young age
15:10I was in a very young age
15:12We're glad you're back
15:14We're glad we're back
15:16Yeah, a bit
15:16And off to Los Angeles you win
15:19I mean I get it, it's music town
15:21There's a lot of places to work
15:22But most people come to LA to go and find people to work with
15:26You already kind of figured out who you wanted to work with and how you wanted to get or at
15:31least start
15:32Why did you choose to go to Los Angeles and have that time there?
15:36We all knew that LA is a true music town
15:40But I was even so surprised after we got to LA
15:43We met like tons of like hundreds of songwriters and like players and producers
15:49And like most of them actually had their home in LA
15:55And they just, you know, they advertised to us like the life how, you know, a life in LA is
16:03so great
16:04So we have never lived in LA for that long
16:09And we also, you know, had a kind of consensus that, you know, the weather and the creative energy and
16:16the people in LA is really so, you know, great
16:20And I think it's always the best choice, you know, you have one like a real like musical bass cam
16:29or a session
16:30You should go to LA, maybe, yeah
16:34So I think that's why
16:35V, when did recording start? Like how did this album begin?
16:40Then we finished the album and we started?
16:43Right. We started working the album going on
16:46Then we started working the album, and then we got the last couple of members together
16:53We started working the album?
16:54Then we started working on July
16:54I looked at the album for three or four days
16:55Right
16:57Then we went to the album in March of May
17:00Then our album started working with LA to live and work together
17:12So, during the session, the first problem, first thing first, the conversation was impossible
17:19because they can't speak English.
17:21We're still learning English.
17:24Yeah!
17:26Yeah!
17:26She's my English.
17:28Yeah!
17:30Barely understand.
17:32You're like a baby animal, you know.
17:33He's sad.

18:02I felt that I didn't enjoy the music for the first time, so I felt that it was a bit
18:08difficult for me.
18:32to otherwise what are we talking about okay i think you're one of the you know like first
18:40people outside like who have ever listened to the whole album you work with some great people
18:46on this record diplo mike will made it uh algin show incredible kevin parker what kevin parker
18:57it's pretty wild i mean let's get into that the fun part of that jungkook tell us some stories or
19:04let's talk
19:04about the collaborators and what you loved about that all of that well i think i'm doing a lot of
19:08work
19:08with gingcho i think i'm doing a lot of work with hooligan and that's why jungkook
19:13has everything touched on the first time you hear a lot of tracks when you hear a lot of people
19:21thinking about moving and already new so that i think that i can set the tracks
19:29THROUGH THE THROUGH THE THROUGH THE MEANES
19:31i think that we can use the tracks and do the tracks
19:32but i think it's important to use the tracks when you have to use the tracks
19:36and it's more of a lot of trouble
19:38just because it's more of a different kind of track
19:43it's somehow It doesn't feel like the track
19:47the vibe pretty different
19:48I've been very new, and if it's been a chance, I want to be able to work with the people
19:55who worked together, I want to do a session again.
20:00You know, you're all producers and writers and you're all very creative. I mean, was it important that you worked
20:07with other people on this record just to get a fresh perspective, to get new energy?
20:11I think it was very important.
20:14Since we are seven, so maybe from perspectives outside, we could think like, oh, you guys are seven, so you
20:21can make your own your own.
20:22But we have to consider a lot of things. We could also digest a lot of genres at the same
20:27time.
20:28So it's always, I think it depends on the clothes, like what we're trying to wear or not.
20:34And so bringing their colors and creatives, especially the young generations and people from the LA or Europe or Latin
20:46America, it was really important for us to, you know, we were trying to make a change and transition after
20:53the discharge from the military because many things are changed and it's getting faster and faster.
21:01Yeah. Yeah. So we have to like adjust our channel to another frequency, a new one.
21:06And we wanted to borrow like their thoughts and their creative minds. So I think it was really important to
21:14be back. So they helped us a lot.
21:17Yeah. I mean, it's the album starts hard. It starts hard. And at the end, you know, there's some beautiful,
21:23thoughtful, really emotive, vulnerable songs.
21:26Into the song. Yeah.
21:27But the first four or five, six songs are like, bam. Yeah.
21:30Like body to body. Bam.
21:35Who wants to tell us a story about that one?
21:38Your favorite song?
21:39Well, I have a few. It's definitely up there. I love Aliens.
21:44My well made it snapped on that. Like I like Aliens a lot. I also love Normal.
21:49Oh, Ryan Tedder. Yeah. That's my favorite.
21:53I love Normal. I love They Don't Know About Us. I love Please.
21:56Oh, you remember all the titles. I like Merry-Go-Round. That's a beautiful song.
22:06Yeah. Kevin. Did anyone get to meet or work with Kevin or did he do that remotely?
22:11I really tried to work with him for my solo before, but I couldn't make it because I had no
22:17time and like, and there was a producer called Sam.
22:23And he was a close friend and a partner of Kevin. And one day he came to our session, maybe
22:29like seven or eight times.
22:31So he did a lot of stuff for the music, our music. And he just said like, I love Tim
22:36Impala and stuff. And I was like, oh, bro, I'm Kevin Parker's my friend.
22:39So he just gave a listen to me of his tracks, like ten. And the Merry-Go-Round was like
22:48third or fourth. So I was like, damn, I love this track. This is so, this is so Tim Impala.
22:53And I just, you know, it would be an honor if we couldn't have like a, like a little joint
22:59with him. And there was a songwriter. His name is Alde. He's a, he's a damn genius.
23:05Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He did a lot of stuff for our album as well. And I just, I just gave
23:10Alde a mission. Like, I think I love this beat.
23:14And I, I think your type of songwriting and your vocals kind of going to have a beautiful collaboration with
23:20this Kevin Parker track.
23:21And I told him like, I want to tell about a Merry-Go-Round. I think his life is like
23:25this. So then he truly felt like, oh, okay. I think I can, I think I have some inspiration with
23:31that.
23:31And he just made that melody like, I don't know, like, like an hour. So it just how it happened.
23:38Sometimes a miracle comes.
23:40Jen, what's your favorite song on the record? Do you have one?
23:42My favorite song is Into The Sun.
23:45I love that song. He made it.
23:48Yeah. Yeah.
23:50Into The Sun.
23:52The last word on that song is Dawn.
23:56Dawn. Dawn.
23:57Yeah.
23:58We changed it to Dawn.
23:59We did change it to Dawn.
24:01Dawn.
24:02Cause it's like, you know, like going into the sun.
24:04I love that. I love it. And when I saw that in the lyric sheet and I saw that the
24:07last word was Dawn, it really, it felt like the, the end of the record in a really amazing way.
24:12Oh, thank you.
24:14I appreciate it.
24:15Were there songs on the record where lyrically you really felt like you had grown and were able to address
24:22some subjects that felt mature, like you'd live some life?
24:25I think so.
24:26I think so.
24:28Yeah.
24:29I think so.
24:29Yeah.
24:29I think so.
24:32I think so.
24:33I think so.
25:06You know, there's some amazing bars on there.
25:08this though i to me in some respects it felt like you got to go back and reignite that original
25:16fire that you had when you started from a rap point of view as well um you know in recent
25:20years
25:21obviously as the band has become bigger songs have gotten bigger right melodies bigger stadiums
25:26bigger to be able to come back sugar rm j-hope and be able to get on the mic and
25:31just tear it up
25:32like i said the first five songs it's like like aliens is a rap song it is a rap song
25:37yeah just bts album having to do the music with me and he tells me that what i was doing
25:43my own identity i wanted to show a lot of my own personality but that was basically bts
25:49that show me what i wanted to show you how to show you the feeling of the sound of the
25:57sound of the sound we need to show you that we need to show you the sound of our show
26:00we were expecting a lot of our ΡΠ»ΡΡits and our community of our body and our identity
26:07because I wanted to show them as a Korean person.
26:12So, I think it's a bit of a sense that I can express the things that I can express.
26:18But it's a bit of a lot of rap.
26:23So, I don't think that the album and songs are familiar with each other.
26:32What's amazing about J-Hope is that
26:34me and sugar we started from we started as a rapper yeah like yeah from from the soul street
26:41but he's he was a he used to be a dancer yeah a street dancer and my favorite rap verse
26:46from
26:47this whole album was like his his his verse from two song called 2.0 wow and like it's so
26:53it's so
26:54addictive like yeah
27:05you're saying you're a rapper bro it's great to hear it's great to hear sugar just get on the
27:12mic and just tear it up it just must have been really fun to realize that the things you originally
27:17loved those passions you had when you were just kids on your own now all fit in to bts at
27:25the highest
27:25level the album μμν λλ κ·Έλ° κ²λ€ μΌκ³± λͺ

27:48yeah it sounds it it sounds really together and it really knows itself and i feel like you all really
27:54know each other better than ever before which is amazing given the time you spent away the album is
28:00called Arirang yeah yeah oh you sound great okay Arirang okay you don't sound it like Arirang
28:10Arirang and uh i want to ask you why what that means to you calling the album something that is
28:14so synonymous and special to the people in this country and to you i think it was very natural um
28:21um to bring some a keyword like Arirang because Arirang is like uh it's a old it's a old traditional
28:29korean song like hundreds of years maybe thousand what does it say the song is about um it's the lyrics
28:38are
28:38quite abstract but it's about a um longings and a nostalgia for a hometown it could be a it could
28:47be a
28:48lover it could be a hometown it could be a family it could be a friend lots of our ancestors
28:53had been
28:54seeing it yeah it's uh it's a very like ethnic and um it's very very historical in korean so in
29:01the
29:01military we also thought about like you know like missing uh the times and the past and the fans the
29:09times that we were together but we couldn't do anything inside and we naturally uh thought about
29:17like where we came from and if we unite again like what we what do we have to do if
29:23bts should go on
29:25then what word could make us into a one like a group you know that's bigger than you yes we
29:33want to
29:33we want to like claim like to the world that we like where we are rooted and it was korea
29:40since we
29:41are all koreans and we are proud of like who we uh where we came from and i think the
29:48song has a um
29:50lyrics and the melodies are very very universal because everyone has some like nostalgias and their
29:57their sadness and their longings so i think a great art mostly brings like their personal thing
30:05into a universal thing yes so if we bring arirang into 2026 in our own ways we thought that we
30:12could
30:12bring it to the uh to the world you know one of the things i think that your fans fell
30:18in love with
30:18army fell in love with when you came out was that you were very open and honest about some of
30:23the
30:23internal and emotional struggles that young people felt around the world but in particular in korea
30:29and the pressure that you felt right to live up to other people's expectations that's so true
30:34do you feel in the in the time that you've been making music and writing those songs and
30:38and speaking to young people that that is changing do you think that there is a growing sense of
30:43confidence and freedom that's had that that's occurring with young people now more than when you started
30:49you know we are having it come out of an effort to have to live and give it a sense
30:56of
30:58power to make the minds of people that are coming out of like the
31:06world. so it's the focus of a lot of people that sometimes I have to change the world. but I
31:12don't know the
31:12world so I think that I must have to change the world. so I do not have to change the
31:18world and I do not have to change them
31:19We have to continue to fight and we have to go to the future.
31:26We all have to be able to find our happiness and our satisfaction.
31:38We're all 30s, so when we look at the 20 years old, like younger people, I don't know what to
31:44say. I feel sad sometimes.
31:46But younger people always kind of rebel, the older generations, they refuse it, they deny it and they have their
31:53own rights and then they become older and that younger generation comes again.
31:58It's just like a natural happening, like a hurricane.
32:02So we're in our all 30s and since the change is getting faster, when 20 year old, those kind of
32:12friends like come to me and they ask for some advice, I sometimes like lose words and be really careful.
32:20It's a really big question. It's a valid question to ask those in a position of influence and inspiration.
32:26It's really hard to try to influence people on their own terms, you know what I mean, on their life.
32:31There's no right answer.
32:33No.
32:34Everyone's journey is kind of unique. Different, yeah.
32:37You know, even all seven of you would own very unique paths to become one. You know, Jin, your journey
32:46to here is very different to RM's journey to here. I mean, you have such a unique journey on how
32:51you became a part of BTS.
32:53I mean, it was almost a happy accident, right? In a strange way.
32:55Well, when I started, it was different from each other, but in the end, I think that our leaders were
33:04able to lead our members.
33:06I think that the music was so fun and happy.
33:09So many of us became a part of the leaders.
33:15We were able to love our music.
33:18I'm grateful for all of our members and all of our members.
33:23and I always pray for each other and pray for each other.
33:29I often think I would love to make better in our lives.
33:30But I think that we were able to help our members with the best way to the best.
33:35And I always pray for my members as well.
33:38And continue to be well as a part of the work.
33:41It is true.
33:42It's true, bro.
33:43It is true.
33:44Thank you, worldwide handsome.
33:46Worldwide handsome, everybody.
33:48Worldwide handsome.
33:49You know what? You all look fit.
33:53You all look world tour ready.
33:55Who was the most out of shape when you all go back together to rehearse?
33:58Which one of you guys was not ready to get back into it?
34:01Me!
34:03I think me?
34:04Me and you?
34:05Oh yeah!
34:06Me and you!
34:07The out of shape duo!
34:10How was it getting everybody back together though?
34:12And starting to kind of do the choreography and figure out like...
34:15Because it's a big show, you know?
34:17Actually...
34:19In the first time, we can do it.
34:23It's a 360-degree stage.
34:24I got it.
34:25So we can do it in the first time.
34:26So, we do it for the show, and we're doing great work together.
34:31So we're preparing for the show with the new, and beautiful, and more impressive.
34:37We're preparing for the ideas together and practicing.
34:42So, I think it's good for you.
34:45And you're looking for new.
34:46You're looking for new.
34:48It's a 360-degree stage.
34:50I got it.
34:50Yeah, so you could see us everywhere, anywhere.
34:54Is that the first time you've done that?
34:56Once, but we did, that was not like a concert.
34:59Yeah, right.
35:00It was just like a...
35:01Seven?
35:02Yeah, seven years ago.
35:04It was like a, it was called a fan meeting.
35:06It's like a simple event.
35:07You've really got to know your steps, right?
35:09Because I'd imagine you're all going to be doing choreography
35:10in different parts of the circular stage.
35:12Oh, yeah.
35:17You know, it's remarkable how you're able to be so in sync with each other
35:27and perform at such a high level and yet it feels inclusive of the audience at the same time.
35:33Can someone kind of try to put into words
35:35what that balance is between having to think about what you're doing
35:39versus knowing that you can just be in the flow state
35:43and it's practiced and you've got it.
35:46I think you need to think about it and go up and not think about it.
35:51It's like it's a good show.
35:55It's like it's a good show.
35:56But if you're still thinking about it, you're going to lose it.
35:59It's like it's wrong.
36:01It's right.
36:02It's like it's right.
36:03It's like you guys went to yourore.
36:07You're going to try to participate.
36:10You know, you're like,
36:11I Whoa!
36:12That's it.
36:13I judged it.
36:14it's theczΔΕcie.
36:19You need to think about in sync with each other.
36:23You should wake up.
36:27I worry not.
36:30But I think that's why all the characters are part of my performance.
36:31you shouldn't install it so much.
36:31I think it's a perfect,
36:32It's crazy.
36:32I think it's work that all the categories
36:33My Sam, I Sam. We need a many practice time. Responsibility. Yeah
36:40Jungkook, which song are you most looking forward to performing? New song you most looking forward to?
36:45Fire
36:47Big, it's a big one. There's a lot of really big songs for this tour. Yes
36:53What were you thinking about live when you were making this album?
36:56Were you thinking about what would sound great in a stadium?
36:59We need an anthem just you know, just to heat up all the stadiums
37:03So of course we consider sometimes. In the time away, right?
37:07Because one of the things I love about all of you is that you have a lot of different interests
37:11You know, I've met a lot of musicians who are hyper focused on music, but I know that you're all
37:14curious people
37:15RM, didn't you learn saxophone during military service? I did. From scratch? From scratch
37:22That was my job in military. So right. Yeah, I was in an army band and yeah, it was fun
37:29Because you know not to keep you know be so far away from where I was
37:34You know, which is music. Yeah, yeah, and the army band there were all from like, you know
37:38Some of them from like berkeley's and like new school. Yeah, and like like like berlin. Yeah
37:43So I I learned a lot because I don't I didn't know a thing about like a like an orchestra
37:48or or or or a
37:50Real real bad. Why saxophone though? That was the easiest one
37:56Trumpet you can't imagine
37:58Yeah, yeah, yeah
37:58Yeah, you need at least like three or four months just to make it really sad just to get your
38:03breathing right. Yeah
38:04Yeah, yeah
38:04Did you meet jungkook at the end of his service with it? Did you bring it? Did you play it?
38:09I played it when Jin came out came out. Yeah. Tell us their story
38:14I just wanted to do it for uh, just uh, you know entertainment because it's a great day. Yeah
38:20I had like one year to get out one more year to get out
38:25So yeah, it was like uh
38:27It was like a struggle to just to you know to admit it and like congratulating his discharge at the
38:34same time
38:34What did you play? I think I played um dynamite on saxophone? Yeah
38:40Yeah
38:42Oh, you good. You don't need a saxophone
38:45I'm a human saxophone
38:49Yeah husophone um when they came out we play like
38:57I played it for him
38:59Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
39:00What did you think when you when you came out and he's playing saxophone?
39:26Did anyone sort of learn any new skills or or try to hand it at something new or was it
39:30just our aim with the sax?
39:31Oh
39:32I'm trying to learn bass
39:36You are? I'm doing traumatic all the time. It's fun, but uh, my finger hurts
39:41It's funny, but I started the drum lesson
39:45Oh my god
39:47I started the drum lesson
39:48I'm starting drums
39:49I don't know how to do it
39:50So he's always collecting just teachers
39:53Yeah, you know, he's like he's like a picker like he started this he started that he started this and
39:58started that you know
39:59A quick dropper
40:00Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, right, but he's into drums right now
40:05Yeah, yeah
40:05I like to sing people's on TMI
40:09Thank God you're really good
40:11So I keep the same
40:11It's such an exciting time for for army
40:14We're here to have this conversation and I'm having the best day
40:18but it's really for the fans right to hear from you again and your fan base is incredible
40:24they are amazing they are amazing army go above and beyond they actually carry your legacy on even
40:32when you're not here and they do things to improve the world in your honor they have so much
40:37initiative to do things i'd just love to open up the floor for all of us to just talk about
40:43army and

41:5512 years ago
41:56it's incredible to think that it started with just with that
41:59i mean all of this now this building this business this anticipation about this tour
42:04started with you guys just on the street
42:06just asking people to come to see a show
42:08i know like when i first got into the label
42:10it was big hit like before hype
42:13there was nine people in us in one floor
42:17it was 2010 like april
42:20and i remember you know the uh the office was awful
42:26yeah
42:28and um uh the nine people they all had to be you know in charge of like three jobs
42:35like somebody had to do like uh mails and like shippings and like design at the same time
42:40yeah and now it's like i know i think it's like more than like 2500 people right now
42:47so yeah we still sometimes can't believe that you know we are here actually
42:53and we also just got out of the army and the military
42:57yeah and like things change like so fast back and forth
43:02but we just naturally always think about like you know they just brought us here
43:09and we're we're we're for we're for them and therefore us like at the same time so
43:16you know it's it's really amazing to um to see a um a growth
43:22so they're getting older right now at this you know as well because we're getting older too
43:28when we had our debut they were like like an elementary school student and now they
43:32are like 25 and this someone gets got married and like it's amazing to you know getting old with the
43:40with the fans well this is an interesting time because this is in my opinion a legacy play
43:46you know that first phase was the building and the amassing of success and fans and achievements
43:52you could have ended there and it would have been a perfect journey up to that point to come back
44:00you have an opportunity now probably the first of your generation to mature this experience and start to build legacy
44:09it's still a a big challenge and i'm also really i'm really afraid of uh a new chapter
44:18because we have to show different things you know to convince the fans and the people out there
44:25we want to reach uh maybe different type of people as well since we love each other so much
44:31we're just here still and the fans are there so what is the reason that we have to stop this
44:40precious brand
44:41and a thing and the family because you know for my rest of my life i can't ever meet uh
44:49a peop
44:50you know people like this because i'm i'm like 33 i was i was like i was 15 when i
44:55when i first met them
44:55but now i'm like 32 maybe but you know like it was it was my teenage and they are really
45:02uh uh symbolizing
45:04my youth as well yeah yeah so i i don't want to miss this chance and i don't want to
45:10regret like you know
45:12years later man we had to do it again we just shouldn't have stopped this journey we didn't want to
45:19you know
45:19do that do that thing like interstellar you know yeah was that a conversation like that was beautifully
45:25put and reflection but was that actually a conversation amongst the seven of you
