04:08Yeah.
04:09Right?
04:09Like, time stops.
04:10And after, time just flows by.
04:12We just can't believe that it's been, like, nine months that we all were discharged.
04:16So, yeah.
04:18Did it get emotional?
04:20Did you know what to say?
04:21Did it get quiet?
04:25Yeah, it was like...
04:26It was like...
04:27Family again.
04:29Yeah, the family's back together.
04:30I thought it'd be nice if we went down the line and said what you missed about the other person
04:35sitting to your right the most.
04:37Oh!

08:30For me?
08:31Yeah, for you. For you.
08:32Yeah, come on.
08:33Come on. That's good. That's good.
08:35I want to...
08:35Next time, I want to see your skills and have some of the good food.
08:39Uh, this is the new era of BTS.
08:42Okay.
08:45Yes, sir.
08:45It starts with your first full-length album since 2022.
08:54Uh...
08:55Arirang.
08:55Arirang.
08:56Arirang.
08:57Arirang.
08:57Arirang.
08:58Yeah.
08:59Arirang.
09:00Arirang.
09:01Yeah.
09:02What is Arirang?
09:04It's a...
09:04It's a Korean, like, traditional song.
09:06So everyone...
09:07Every Koreans just...
09:08Just know it, like, when they...
09:09Just get to know it when they grow up.
09:11Oh, really?
09:12Yes.
09:12Mouth to mouth.
09:13They just get to know it.
09:15And how did you all decide that this would be the title of the album?
09:18So it's, uh...
09:19It's...
09:20I think it's the song that represents, uh, the Koreans the most.
09:24So it's...
09:25It includes, like, lots of emotions in it.
09:28It could be joy.
09:29It could be sorrow.
09:30Longings.
09:30Um, sadness.
09:32Like, whatever.
09:33Yeah.
09:33Uh, resistance.
09:35So...
09:35There's a lot of emotions out here.
09:37Yeah, yeah, yeah.
09:38So...
09:38We just hope that, um, our...
09:41Our new songs could be also universal, like...
09:43Like the Arirang, which is the Korean traditional song.
09:46And...
09:49We just...
09:53We just figured out that, you know, our roots is in Korea,
09:58you know, like, all in the military.
10:00And after all, it's like, we have to, you know,
10:02come back to where... where we started from.
10:04So...
10:04Yeah, of course.
10:06Okay.
10:06Can't forget your roots.
10:08Never forget your roots.
10:10You actually lived together in, uh, as roommates in Los Angeles
10:13while recording this album.
10:14Just like you did when you first started, uh, music together.
10:18What was the best part about living together
10:19while making this album?
10:22Oh...
10:24Okay.
10:24Eat together.
10:25Yeah, eat together.
10:26Just eating together?
10:27Because we actually lived together for, like,
10:30six, seven years.
10:31But it...
10:33Six, seven.
10:36Six, seven.
10:36I know six, seven.
10:37Six, seven.
10:38They say that.
10:39What's it?
10:40What's it?
10:40What's it?
10:41What on earth is this?
10:43No, no.
10:43I don't know.
10:44What is this thing?
10:45Six, seven is it...
10:48Six, seven.
10:49What is this?
10:50I don't know how to describe...
10:52What?
10:54I don't know.
10:54Don't...
10:54Don't worry about...
10:55Don't worry about six, seven.
10:56Worry about...
10:58What?
10:59What?
10:59What?
11:00What?
11:01I don't know how to describe it.
11:03I know...
11:03I know what it is.
11:04I know what it is, but it doesn't make...
11:07It doesn't have a definition.
11:08Uh, there's no explanation for six, seven,
11:11and I think you won't have to worry about it
11:13in a couple months.
11:14I think it's good.
11:15Uh, uh, uh, be honest.
11:17Who, out of all of you,
11:18who was the messiest roommate?
11:19Uh, I think...
11:20It's...
11:20Jungkook.
11:25I can't agree.
11:27I can't agree.
11:34So, I told you we spent two months together,
11:37and he had the biggest room.
11:39Yeah, we all had our rooms,
11:41and he had the biggest room.
11:42Yeah.
11:43And he had, like, two loggages,
11:45but it's open up on the floor for two months.
11:49So...
11:50You ever unpacked?
11:51Yeah.
11:51So, when we went to his room,
11:53we always have to, like,
11:54luggage and tears, and, like,
11:55Jungkook.
11:58Yeah, like...
11:59Uh, Saturday night was a, uh, giant night
12:04for, uh, ARMY all over the world.
12:06Uh, you did a live performance on Netflix.
12:11At one of the...
12:15At one of, uh...
12:17At one of Seoul's biggest landmarks,
12:19there were over a hundred thousand people
12:21in the attendance,
12:22in the audience.
12:23It was the first time
12:24the seven of you
12:27were together again on the stage
12:29in front of the giant crowd.
12:31Talked to me.
12:32What did that feel?
12:33How did that feel
12:34to be back together on stage performing?
12:37Uh, 사실,
12:38준비할 수 있는 것들을
12:39정말 많이 준비해서
12:40보여드린 것 같고,
12:42어...
12:43사실,
12:43앞으로 더 보여드릴 게
12:44많은 것 같아요.
12:45네, 그래서...
12:46좀 더...
12:47다양한 무대들을 더 보여드리고 싶다가
12:49오히려 더 생기고.
12:59Now that you're performing together again,
13:01do you think that your, your solo albums
13:03have made you stronger as a group?
13:05아, 혼자 있을 때는
13:06너무 외롭고
13:07이제 뭘 어떻게 해야 될지
13:08잘 몰랐는데
13:09우리 멤버들이 그래도
13:10옆에 있으니까
13:11똑같은 동작을 하더라도
13:13조금 더 힘이 생기고
13:14자신감이 붙더라고요.
13:16그래서 아, 멤버들이 정말
13:17도움이 많이 되는구나
13:19라고 생각했습니다.
13:24This is just the beginning of a huge,
13:27huge year for you guys.

13:46이번 콘서트는 진짜
13:49전부 모든 구간이 다 약간
