🐰 And then I say, "Yes, hyeng-nim, I will!" 🐹 What are you talking about? You hit me in my leg! 🐰 That's a sign of my affection.

YOONGI AND JUNGKOOK'S SMILE I'M GOING TO CRY. OH MY GOD. MY LOVES ARE THE HAPPIEST 😭♡

RM shared that “they don’t know ’bout us” was inspired by conversations with Jimin about emotions, perspective, and how people perceive them! 🐨: “Um, ‘they don’t know ’bout us’ is a song that Jimin really checked up on and worked on a lot. Jimin always said that through this session, he really improved a lot. Not just in singing, but also in learning vocals and writing melodies too. Before making this song, me, Jimin, and the songwriters there had worked on another song called ‘Weak.’ While talking about what kind of story we should tell, I brought up the phrase, ‘You make me weak.’ That was what I had in mind. But actually, it was something directed toward you guys. ‘You make me weak.’ It’s something you’d say to someone you love. ‘You always make me weak.’ But that feeling can be both bad and good, kind of like normal emotions. [….] Then Jimin asked me, ‘Hyung, why is it “You make me weak”?’ Why does it make you weak? And I said, because people… they actually don’t know us. They can’t know us. Even I don’t fully know myself. While talking about that, I think Jimin found that idea really interesting. The idea that: ‘People make me weak because they don’t really know me.’ The next day, Jimin and I ended up splitting into different rooms, and I think there, with DOC and some sampling they brought in, they turned it into ‘they don’t know ’bout us.’ If you watch the performance, there are all those eyes and faces appearing on the iPad or tablet screens. So originally, this song actually started as something written for ARMYs, but in the end, it became a really aggressive song directed at people outside who don’t really know us at all.”

🐿️ He felt that if he had the chance, if he could go through the album and tell the stories, this tour that we're doing could become more meaningful and the people who listen to these songs and hear them in that space may feel different emotions. 🐿️ Namjoon had always said that. And he worked so hard on this album. And so I watched and listened to him on the live quietly.

🐿️ A long time ago, we couldn't imagine something like this. To go and play pickleball in the middle of the tour. Because on the days we could rest, we were busy resting. But the situation has changed a lot and we now have more free time and I think this is the right way. If we can enjoy our time doing the concerts, that'll become more enjoyable for you too.

“Maybe this is what leadership looks like after thirteen years. It is less about carrying people on your back but carrying the space where people can remain together. And maybe that is the quiet weight Kin Namjoon still carries.” I haven’t stopped crying fyi.

Namjoon's brain. SOOOOOOOO SEXY MYGHAAAAD

🐨 The lyrics about our pride in being Koreans, I could have written them in a more poetic and showy way. But I had to complement the phonetic style of the existing lines and this song is really just saying "We're aliens, so what?" And with our international ARMYs singing along, there can be an interesting transference, a reversal. 🐨 And so I think I had hopes that more people would know about these lyrics, whether as a meme or as mockery, since the lyrics speak out directly.

🐨 The original title for Aliens was Endless. But "endless" sounded a bit empty. "We have no end." It was too abstract. The phonetics were delicious. But "we have no end." So we changed it to "aliens." We were saying, "Hi guys, we are aliens from Korea." We thought about doing it that way. The two words, "aliens" and "endless", sound similar phonetically and we could keep the existing flavor of the words. And this way the song could reflect our originality.

Namjoon about Normal 🐨: Normal is a very sad song. I wrote the lyrics in Korean and then changed it to English for radio and stuff, but yeah, there is a Korean version of Normal. The guys have even recorded the Korean version. Idk if it will ever be out tho. Anyways, kerosene is oil that lights the bulbs. One day you love me, one day you say you hate me fine make me bulletproof, so that I won't die even if you shoot me. There was this keyword of Normal. But what is normal for us? As we live as BTS what is the normal for me? Someday ppl tell me that they love me and the other day they tell me to get lost just like a very toxic couple. Ppl put us high 1000 times and pull down 1000 times too. "Two sides of a coin and they both ain't true" Both sides aren't true. Why? Coz both sides are true and both sides are fake at the same time. There's no one who can explain this team called BTS. "Wish I had a min just to turn me off" Fine this is the life that I've chosen and all mistakes are mine but I can think about having a min of shutting off from the ppl. This doesn't mean that I wanna give up on my life but I can hope for ppl to forget me for a moment. I think that's the feeling behind writing this lyrics. Now that I see this song is really sad too. "Fantasy and fame yeah the things we choose" We're accepting that we've chosen this fame. When we sing this song on stage we sing it as a happy song coz we're singing it together, coz this is the other side of the coin.

🐨: Because I'm not... you know, I've always been someone who isn't the best at dancing. So, because I really wanted to do well with the choreography for ‘2.0’, I would always arrive an hour before our dance lessons started to practice by myself first. And then after the lessons ended, I’d stay behind for another 30 minutes to practice more for ‘2.0’ 🐨: Because whenever I watched Jungkook, Jimin, Hoseok, and Taehyung, I'd think, 'Ah, I really don't want to drag them down.' I wanted to execute the vibe coolly just like them, especially since I have years of experience under my belt too. So I always watched them, analyzed their movements, and analyzed the professional dancers. 🐨: Anyway, it's a song that holds a lot of memories. And so many people showed a lot of love for the music video, too. I think it was a really meaningful song that allowed us to step forward into something new while still keeping an essence that feels authentically like us. I'm also really grateful to Mikey, Charles, Jungkook, Hobi, and Taehyung for this song.

🐨 Yesterday after the AMAs, we thought about going to the after party and mingling with artists and producers a bit, we thought about it and then didn't go. I was afraid to and the members have difficulty with English and some of us don't like mingling.

🐨 There's a clip that I really like. Hobi is dancing energetically and I'm like this. I was thinking this is freaking worrisome. I liked that we decided on Arirang as our album title. Arirang itself can be defined narrowly or as broadly as you'd like. But these 7 Korean youths embarking on a new beginning and the 7 of us, in the end, are nothing more than country bumpkins from Korea.

라스 베가스 D3 RM 엔딩멘트 🐨 (RM): 2026년 아메리칸 뮤직 어워즈(AMAs)의 사랑은~ 바로 아미(ARMY)에게 돌아갑니다!!! 🐥 (지민): 축하해요! 🐨 (RM): 여러분, 정말 아름다운 밤이고 우리는 함께 역사를 만들어가고 있어요. 뭐랄까, 기분이 되게 묘하더라고요. 9년 전, 저희가 AMAs에 처음 참석했던 2017년이 떠올랐거든요. 그땐 저희 대기실이 아예 없어서, 글쎄 복도에서 메이크업을 고쳐야 했어요. 그래서 스타들이 지나갈 때마다 "아, 죄송합니다", "실례합니다" 하곤 했었죠. 하지만 어젯밤에 저희는 가장 큰 대기실을 썼습니다. 그리고 모든 사람들—모든 전설적인 아티스트들과 스태프분들까지—이 저희에게 정말 친절하고 따뜻하게 대해주셨어요. 이게 다 여러분 덕분이라는 거, 저희는 잘 알고 있습니다. 네, 어젯밤에 그런 변화를 직접 겪으니 참 기분이 묘하더라고요... 이 말은 꼭 하고 싶었어요. 아시다시피 이 모든 건 다 여러분 덕분이고, 저희는 AMAs에서 보낸 그 밤을 절대 잊지 못할 거예요. 사랑합니다.
