Thank you!

Thank you, thank you Apple, thank you Zane!

Thank you!

This is so exciting!

Thank you for coming to Korea!

It's a long flight right?

Yeah, but I love it here!

I love it here, I feel very calm here I love the city, I love the people Is this the first time?

No, no, no. And I want to say thank you to Jungkook because...

Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes.

He invited me out maybe a year and a half ago.

Yeah.

And we sat up there and we had a beautiful conversation.

Wow.

So it's been like, you know, years, right?

Mm-hmm.

It's been a minute.

But not as long as it's been for you and for ARMY.

Oh, yeah.

It's been a minute for them too.

And you're here, I'm here, ARMY are all there.

And they're waiting and have been waiting for this moment and waiting for everything.

We're back!

Yes!

We're back!

You are.

How does it feel?

I mean, that's a big question for everybody, but who wants to just quickly jump in

and try to put into words how it feels for it to be real

and for you to be together again after the time away?

Yeah, so exciting.

I feel like this is a very long time.

I feel like Jane is the beginning of this moment.

I think I'm really nervous about this for fans.

It's a feeling that it's a bit uncomfortable.

Do you know what I'm talking about?

I wanted to ask you what you missed the most about this, about being together with your friends?

I'm going to eat dinner, and I'm going to eat dinner, and I'm going to be able to sleep again.

I'm going to be able to sleep again.

really strange to live you know all together in the same we lived in the same house like literally

so we rented it rented a villa

and then uh it was in like seven years

that we have you know ever like lived actually like together

and worked together so

that the session in la for two months was a quite like a big transition

and uh it feels like a dream for us at the same time now jungkook when When we spoke here,

we talked about the idea of you all moving off separately to work on your own solo music.

It felt natural to all of you.

100

It didn't feel forced.

101

Did this feel as natural coming back together?

102

I know you said it was a bit strange living together, but when you all found yourself coming together, even having that first meeting, how did it begin?

103

I think I think I'm going to be a bit more than a solo project than a group of people.

104

I think it was a bit more obvious.

105

I think I could have been a bit more than a group of people.

106

I wanted to make a group of artists as soon as possible.

107

It's not a big difference, but it's very natural.

108

It's natural.

109

It's natural.

110

I always think that when an artist takes a break, it's a chance to look at it as a new 0.0 or a new era to some degree.

111

And J-Hope, does it feel that way for you?

112

Or does it feel like you sort of picked up where you left off?

113

I think that the things that we can do to make sure that we can adapt to the music.

114

And I think that all the activities that we have been doing for a long time,

115

is that it's really fun to show us what we want to show.

116

I think there's a lot of times that we're enjoying.

117

It's such a unique situation to take a break from being a band and go and honor the commitment to your country, to military service.

118

But you're still a musician, you're still creative.

119

Sugar, are you thinking about music?

120

Can you honor that commitment and do service?

121

Are you still thinking about songs, melodies?

122

Did any of them make it onto the record while you were serving?

123

I just started to build a new set and create new things.

124

I wanted to talk a lot about new things.

125

I was just like that, especially on this album.

126

When you started out, RM, you became leader of the group.

127

Yes, sir.

128

You're now in a situation where you've grown so much as people, not just as a band.

129

Yes.

130

perspective like for you when everyone came back together

131

and you could take a look

132

and go okay these guys I've known since we were kids

133

in some case teenagers you know this how does your role as leader kind of evolve now everyone's growing up

134

and it become you know men yeah that's that's the trickiest point

135

and I don't know like sometimes I put like too much weight on myself like oh you the leader

136

so you have to do something you have to you know like just get your ass off just the sofa

137

and just go out and just like say something to the label or like to the people

138

or or i don't know music wise um people wise

139

but it's like you know like like like you said um

140

we are all kind of grown up we're all like 30s right now

141

and we all got back from the um the unique experience

142

which is you know like very unique and um but i think uh you know through the process from the LA session.

143

It's been almost like half a year, like seven, eight months.

144

And I think there's still something that I can do for this team,

145

like maybe just to communicate with the label or could represent,

146

could say some words that could bring the team, bring the whole team to a better level.

147

And I'd imagine also with the touring and whatnot to come, and as things get busier and busier, those roles will start to feel a little more comfortable again of like how we support each other.

148

Yes.

149

And they are, you know, we've been together for half of our lives.

150

Yeah.

151

Like 15 years.

152

That's a long time.

153

That's like a family.

154

So, you know, as we see just like each other's eyes, we just understand.

155

We just get it.

156

Like, oh, now you've been through your hard times, bro.

157

Then I'll do some more.

158

I'll take care of you.

159

We could just do that without any words or something.

160

So they support me and I could do my roles.

161

But it's always tricky that I sometimes put too much weight on myself as a leader.

162

But at the same time I feel like I'm just one of the member.

163

I'm just part of the team.

164

I'm just one of the seven.

165

So sometimes you just got to let it go.

166

Just go with the flow and just be part of the team.

167

So I'm still figuring out what is a good leader.

168

Good leader.

169

Thanks bro.

170

Thanks bro.

171

Thanks bro.

172

Thanks bro.

173

Thanks for amazing English.

174

Word.

175

Peace.

176

This is a celebration.

177

I mean we're going to talk about the music.

178

We're going to talk about touring.

179

We're going to get into it.

180

We're going to try and fill in some of the gaps everybody wants filled. But we're here celebrating.

181

And I would imagine that probably the biggest celebration so far was when Sugar finally came home.

182

Because that was the last member of the band.

183

So can I ask you guys how you celebrated as a band when Sugar finally came home and how that happened?

184

We all have to gather together who's the house?

185

It's my house?

186

My house?

187

No, it's not my house.

188

It's not my house.

189

It's your house.

190

I was going to work with you.

191

Oh, that's it?

192

Our house?

193

Oh, it's my house.

194

My house is not my house.

195

I'm not sure how to go to the house.

196

I'm going to go to the house.

197

We had to go to the house.

198

I was watching a lot of the day before I was in the morning.

199

I was watching what I was doing.

200

when you came back and realized that everyone was so happy to see you streaming for the first time.

201

I think it's like that.

202

Rather than talking and talking, just talking at any moment, and having time for me.

203

I think it's like this.

204

It's funny about that is whether you mean to or not when you become a person of mystery, it makes people go even crazier when you show up.

205

It kind of almost backfires a little bit.

206

Maybe in purpose.

207

Jim, I wanted to ask what you think you learned about yourself during the time away

208

and in particular during military service when you came home.

209

How would you tested yourself and what did you learn about yourself?

210

I've been able to do my best.

211

I can't believe that I can do my best and I can feel it.

212

And, I was very young.

213

I was in a very young age in the military.

214

I also had friends who were very hard to do.

215

I was looking at my face and I thought, I was still trying to do more.

216

I was also doing a lot of work in the military.

217

I was having a time for a while.

218

glad you're back.

219

We're glad we're back.

220

Yeah, and off to Los Angeles you win.

221

I mean I get it, it's music town, there's a lot of places to work

222

but most people come to LA to go and find people to work with.

223

You already kind of had figured out who you wanted to work with

224

and how you wanted to get or at least start.

225

Why did you choose to go to Los Angeles and have that time there?

226

We all knew that LA is a truly, it's a true music town.

227

But I was even so surprised after we got to LA, we met like tons of, like hundreds of songwriters and like players and producers.

228

And like most of them actually had their home in LA and they just,

229

you know, they advertised to us like the life, how, you know, a life in LA is so great.

230

So we have never lived in LA for that long.

231

And we also had a kind of consensus that the weather

232

and the creative energy and the people in LA is really so great.

233

And I think it's always the best choice.

234

You have a real musical base camp or a session.

235

You should go to LA, maybe.

236

Yeah.

237

So I think that's why.

238

V, when did recording start?

239

Like how did this album begin?

240

We started right after we started.

241

We started on the last one and then the last member, Suga-yong, started on the last one.

242

Then we started on July.

243

I think I went on the last 3-4 days later.

244

We all started working in LA in the first place.

245

We had a conversation with them.

246

We'll speak in English.

247

Do you speak in English?

248

So during the session, the first problem, first thing first, the conversation was impossible because they can't speak English.

249

We're still learning English.

250

Yeah.

251

Yeah.

252

Yeah.

253

Yeah.

254

Like, my English.

255

Yeah.

256

I don't understand.

257

Barely understand.

258

Or like a baby animal, you know?

259

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

260

But now, while working on working on a couple of months, I was working on a lot of songs,

261

I was thinking, I was thinking, I was thinking, I don't know what to do.

262

I was thinking, I was thinking, I wanted to make sure that this song is available and that song is available.

263

And I also felt that there are some more important songs that I used to work on.

264

I felt that I couldn't enjoy it.

265

It was a bit difficult.

266

You know, you can't tell.

267

When I listen to this album, there is so much energy on this record.

268

And everyone has come back and delivered at the highest level.

269

I want to congratulate you on this album.

270

I think Start to Finish, it's a really, really great record.

271

Have you listened to it?

272

Yeah.

273

Oh, wow!

274

Really?

275

Really?

276

Yeah.

277

Yeah, I mean, I have to, otherwise what are we talking about?

278

Ah, I'm not saying that.

279

Ah, right.

280

Okay, I think you're one of the first people outside who have ever listened to the whole album.

281

You work with some great people on this record.

282

Diplo, Mike Will made it, Al Ginsho.

283

Incredible!

284

Kevin Parker?

285

What?

286

Teeso Touchdown?

287

It's pretty wild.

288

I mean, let's get into that, the fun part of that.

289

Jungkook, tell us some stories or let's talk about the collaborators and what you loved about that.

290

I think I did a lot of work with Gingcho.

291

I think that's why Jungkook was a lot of touching.

292

I was trying to get the track to get the track.

293

I was like, I was like, I was thinking about what people think about it.

294

I was so new and I was like, I can't do this track.

295

I was like, I can't do this.

296

And I was like, I can't do this.

297

So I got a lot of pressure.

298

So I was like, I'm going to put on my side.

299

So, anyway, the feeling itself was completely different.

300

It was very new.

301

If it's a chance to get a chance to work together, I want to see the session again.

302

You're all producers and writers, and you're all very creative.

303

Was it important that you worked with other people on this record just to get a fresh perspective, to get new energy?

304

I think it's really important.

305

and people from the LA or Europe or Latin America.

306

It was really important for us to, you know, we were trying to make a change

307

and transition after the discharge from the military because many things are changed and it's getting faster and faster.

308

Yeah.

309

Yeah, so we have to adjust our channel to another frequency, a new one.

310

And we wanted to borrow their thoughts in their creative minds

311

so i think it was really important to be back so they helped us a lot

312

yeah i mean it's the album starts hard it starts hard

313

and at the end you know there's some beautiful thoughtful really emotive vulnerable songs into the song

314

but the first four

315

or five six songs are like bam yeah like body to body who wants to tell us a story about

316

that one your favorite song well I have a few.

317

It's definitely up there.

318

I love Aliens.

319

Oh!

320

My Will Made is snapped on that.

321

I like Aliens a lot.

322

I also love Normal.

323

Normal or Ryan Tedder.

324

Yeah.

325

That's my favorite.

326

I love Normal.

327

I love Better Know About Us.

328

I love Please.

329

Oh!

330

Oh!

331

Oh!

332

But the lyrics are all good.

333

Oh, you remember all the titles?

334

I like Merry-Go-Round.

335

Oh, yeah.

336

Kevin.

337

That's a beautiful song.

338

Heym Impala.

339

Yeah, Kevin did anyone get to meet or work with kevin

340

or did he do

341

that remotely i really tried to work with him uh for my uh solo before

342

but i couldn't make it because i had no time

343

and like and there was a producer called sam

344

and he was a close friend and a partner of kevin

345

and one day he came to our session maybe like seven

346

or eight times so he did a lot of stuff for the music our music

347

and he just said like I love Tame Impala and stuff

348

and I was like oh bro I'm Kevin Parker's my friend

349

so he just gave a listen to me uh of his tracks like 10

350

and the merry-go-round was like third or fourth

351

so I was like damn I love this track this is

352

so this is so Tame Impala

353

and I just you know it would be an honor

354

if we couldn't have a like a like a little joint with him

355

and there was a songwriter uh his name is all day

356

he's a he's a damn genius yeah yeah he did a lot of stuff for our uh album as well

357

and i i just i just gave all day a mission like i think i love this beat

358

and i i think your type of songwriting

359

and your vocals kind of gonna have a beautiful collaboration with this kid

360

and parker track and i told him like i want to tell about a merry-go-round i think

361

that life is like this

362

so then he truly felt like oh okay i think i i can i think i have some inspiration with

363

that and he just made that melody like I don't know like like an hour

364

so it just how it happened sometimes a miracle comes

365

Jen what's your favorite song on the record do you have

366

one my favorite song is into the Sun I love the last try yeah yeah yeah the last word on

367

that song is is Dawn.

368

Dawn.

369

Dawn.

370

Dawn.

371

Yeah.

372

We changed it to Dawn.

373

Yeah.

374

Yeah.

375

Dawn.

376

It was like, you know, like going into the sun.

377

I love that.

378

I love it.

379

And when I saw that in the lyric sheet, I saw that the last word was Dawn.

380

It really felt like the end of the record in a really amazing way.

381

Oh, thank you.

382

Appreciate it.

383

Were there songs on the record where lyrically you really felt like you had grown

384

and were able to address some subjects that felt mature, like you'd live some life?

385

I think the album itself is pretty...

386

I think it's not that Swim.

387

Normal?

388

Normal is also true.

389

Swim, normal.

390

I've heard of my rap songs when I heard the rap song into the sun song...

391

Um...

392

I'm not sure.

393

I'm not sure.

394

I'm not sure.

395

I was trying to use it a little bit more, but I think it's not going to be too heavy.

396

I used it a bit more.

397

I think it's a bit more heavy.

398

There are some amazing bars on this though.

399

To me, in some respects, it felt like you got to go back and reignite

400

that original fire that you had when you started from a rap point of view as well.

401

You know, in recent years, obviously, as the band has become bigger, songs have gotten bigger, melodies bigger, stadiums bigger.

402

To be able to come back, Suga, RM, J-Hope, and be able to get on the mic and just tear it up.

403

But like I said, the first five songs, it's like, Aliens is a rap song.

404

It is a rap song.

405

Just...

406

When I was working on this album, I wanted to show my personality a lot.

407

I feel like BTS가 show you want to be a good idea.

408

I think we need to learn this or something.

409

We need to learn how to show up.

410

We need to show up and show up and show up.

411

In fact, we have to be able to draw and look at the point

412

It's a bit of a simple way to express them, but I think that's why there were so many raps.

413

And so, the album and songs that were all connected with each other were not born as well.

414

What's amazing about J-Hope is that me and Suga, we started from...

415

We started as a rapper, like, from Soul Street.

416

But he used to be a dancer.

417

Yeah, a street dancer.

418

And my favorite rap verse from this whole album was like his verse from a song called 2.0.

419

Wow.

420

And it's so addictive.

421

Yeah.

422

It's like, Oh, damn.

423

Damn, you're a rapper, bro.

424

Yeah!

425

It's great to hear.

426

It's great to hear Suga just get on the mic and just tear it up.

427

It just must have been really fun to realize that the things you originally loved, those passions you had when you were just kids on your own,

428

now all fit in to BTS at the highest level.

429

When I started the album, I could have done all of those 7 people.

430

I was really impressed with the album.

431

So it was a good album.

432

When I work on this album, I also work on songpom as I just want to do it and just look at it

433

and I work on it very easily.

434

You don't sound like Arirang.

435

Arirang.

436

I want to ask you why.

437

What that means to you, calling the album something that is so synonymous and special to the people in this country and to you.

438

I think it was very natural to bring a keyword like Arirang because Arirang is like an old traditional Korean song.

439

Like hundreds of years, maybe thousands.

440

What does it say?

441

The song is about...

442

The lyrics are quite abstract, but it's about longings and nostalgia.

443

For a hometown, it could be a lover, it could be a hometown, it could be a family, it could be a friend.

444

Lots of our ancestors had been singing it.

445

Yeah, it's very ethnic and it's very, very historical in Korean.

446

So in the military, we also thought about missing the times in the past and the fans,

447

the times that we were together, but we couldn't do anything inside.

448

And we naturally thought about where we came from.

449

And if we unite again, what do we have to do?

450

If BTS should go on then what word could make us

451

into a one like a group you know that's bigger than

452

you yes we want to we want to like claim like the to the world

453

that we like where we are rooted in

454

and it was korea since we are all koreans

455

and we are proud of like who we uh where we came from

456

and I think the song has lyrics and the melodies are very very universal

457

because everyone has some nostalgia and their sadness and their longings

458

so I think a great art mostly brings like their personal thing into a universal thing yeah

459

so if we bring Arirang into 2026 in our own ways we thought

460

that we could bring it to the to the world you know one of the things I think

461

that your fans fell in love with army fell in love with

462

when you came out was that you were very open

463

and honest about some of the internal and emotional struggles

464

that young people felt around the world but in particular in Korea

465

and the pressure that you felt right to live up to other people's expectations that's

466

so true do you feel in the in the time

467

that you've been making music and writing those songs and

468

and speaking to young people that that is changing do you think

469

that there There is a growing sense of confidence

470

and freedom that's occurring with young people now more than when you started out.

471

You seem to be more confident in the world.

472

I don't know how to do social media, but I don't know much about it.

473

I think it's a lot of the world that I've been able to change.

474

I think I should have to see it more than I can see.

475

But we still have to make music and progress.

476

And we have to go to the future.

477

I think that everyone has to be a bit of a time to practice their happiness and their satisfaction.

478

that younger generation comes again, you know, it's just like a natural happening, like a hurricane.

479

So we're in our all 30s.

480

And since the change is getting faster,

481

when 20 year old, those kind of friends like come to me and they ask for some advice,

482

I sometimes like lose words and be really careful.

483

It's a really big question.

484

It's a valid question to ask those position of influence and inspiration

485

but it's really hard to to try to influence people on

486

their own terms you know what i mean on their on

487

their life there's no right answer no everyone's journey is kind

488

of different yeah you know even all seven of you we're

489

on very unique paths to become one you know jen your

490

journey to here is very different to rm's journey to here i mean I mean, you have such a unique journey on how you became a part of BTS.

491

And it was almost a happy accident, right, in a strange way?

492

I'm always grateful to all my members.

493

I'm always thinking about how I'm happy to live a different life.

494

I think I've always been grateful for my best.

495

I'm always grateful for my members.

496

It's true, bro.

497

Thank you worldwide handsome.

498

Thank you.

499

Worldwide handsome everybody.

500

Oh, wow, handsome.

501

We're all handsome.

502

You know what?

503

You all look fit.

504

You all look world tour ready.

505

Who was the most out of shape when you all go back together to rehearse?

506

Which one of you guys was not ready to get back into it?

507

Me.

508

I think me.

509

Me and you?

510

Oh, yeah.

511

Me and you.

512

The out of shape duo.

513

How was it getting everybody back together though and starting to kind of do the choreography and figure out like, because it's a big show, you know?

514

I think it's possible to do it.

515

It's possible to do it.

516

I think it's possible to do it.

517

I think it's been a long time for fans to show the show.

518

It's more exciting and more exciting.

519

I'm really excited to do it.

520

I hope it's good to see you.

521

It's really new.

522

I hope you're good.

523

It's a 360-degree stage.

524

I heard.

525

Yeah, so you could see us everywhere.

526

Yeah.

527

Anywhere.

528

Is that the first time you've done that?

529

Once, but we did that was not like a concert.

530

Yeah, right.

531

It was just like a...

532

Seven?

533

Seven years?

534

Yeah, seven years ago.

535

It was called a fan meeting.

536

It's like a simple event.

537

You've really got to know your steps, right?

538

Because I'd imagine you're all going to be doing choreography in different parts of the circular stage.

539

Oh, yeah.

540

I'm a lot of distracted.

541

It's a lot of trouble, but I'm trying to remember it.

542

You have to do a lot of trouble.

543

Yes, a lot.

544

You know, it's remarkable how you're able to be

545

so in sync with each other and perform at such a high level

546

and yet it feels inclusive of the audience at the same time.

547

Can someone kind of try to put into words what that balance is between having to think about what you're doing

548

versus knowing that you can just be in the flow state and it's practiced and you've got it.

549

I think I should think about it and go up and think about it.

550

It's important to make a good performance.

551

But in the end, I'm going to keep thinking about it.

552

It's wrong.

553

I think we're doing so much work, and we're all going to have the mind.

554

It's right.

555

We're going to practice so much.

556

I think it's just a bit different.

557

I think it's just a bit different.

558

I think it's a bit important to practice.

559

I think that it's just so beautiful and beautiful.

560

I don't think it's a professional part.

561

My Sam, my Sam.

562

We need a many practice time.

563

Responsibility.

564

Jungkook, which song are you most looking forward to performing?

565

New song are you most looking forward to?

566

Fire.

567

Fire.

568

Fire.

569

Yeah, it's a big one.

570

There's a lot of really big songs for this tour.

571

Yes.

572

Were you thinking about live when you were making this album?

573

Were you thinking about what would sound great in a stadium?

574

We need an anthem just to heat up all the stadiums, so of course we consider sometimes.

575

In the time away, right?

576

Because one of the things I love about all of you is that you have a lot of different interests.

577

I've met a lot of musicians who are hyper-focused on music, but I know that you're all curious people.

578

didn't you learn saxophone during military service i did from scratch from scratch

579

that was my job in military so right yeah i was in an army band

580

and yeah it was fun because you know not to keep you know be

581

so far away from where i was you know

582

which is music yeah yeah

583

and the army band there were all from like you know some of them from like berkeley's

584

and like new school and like like like berlin yeah

585

so i i learned a lot

586

because i don't i didn't know a thing about like a like an orchestra

587

or or or a or a real real band why saxophone though

588

that was the easiest one trumpet you can't imagine yeah yeah yeah you need at least like three

589

or four months just to make it really sound just to

590

get your breathing right yeah yeah yeah did you meet jungkook

591

at the end of his service with it did you bring it did you play it

592

when you came out i played it uh

593

when jinn jinn came out came out yeah that's their story

594

i just wanted to do it for uh just uh you know entertainment

595

because it's a great day yeah i had like one year to get out one more year to get out

596

so yeah it was like uh it was like a struggle to just to you know to admit it

597

and like congratulating his discharge at the same time what did you play i think i played um Dynamite.

598

Oh, saxophone?

599

Yeah.

600

Yeah.

601

Yeah.

602

Oh, you don't need a saxophone.

603

I'm a human saxophone.

604

Yeah, a huge saxophone.

605

When they came out, we played like...

606

I played it for him.

607

Yeah.

608

What did you think when you came out and he's playing saxophone?

609

I was on the plane, but why are they laughing at me?

610

I'm laughing.

611

The main character is being replaced.

612

What are you doing?

613

I'm surprised, but I'm so happy to give you a hug.

614

Celebration.

615

I've got a joke.

616

I've got to know.

617

I haven't been out yet, but you guys are like, I'm just kidding.

618

We're just kidding.

619

We're just kidding.

620

Did anyone learn any new skills or try to hand it at something new?

621

Or was it just our aim with the sax?

622

I'm trying to learn bass.

623

I'm doing traumatics all the time.

624

It's fun, but my finger hurts.

625

It's a bit of a funny sound, but I started drum lessons.

626

I started drums.

627

I started drums.

628

So he's always collecting teachers.

629

He's like a picker.

630

He started this, he started that, he started this and he started that.

631

A quick dropper.

632

Oh really?

633

Up and down, up and down?

634

Yeah, right.

635

But he's into drums right now.

636

I like TMI, but I like to read the lyrics.

637

Thank God you're reinforced.

638

I always imagine it.

639

It's such an exciting time for ARMY.

640

We're here to have this conversation, and I'm having the best day.

641

But it's really for the fans, right?

642

To hear from you again.

643

Your fan base is incredible.

644

They are amazing.

645

They are amazing.

646

ARMY go above and beyond.

647

They actually carry your legacy on even when you're not here.

648

And they do things to improve the world in your honor.

649

They have so much initiative to do things.

650

I'd just love to open up the floor for all of us to just talk about ARMY

651

and what that experience has been like for you, getting to know the world through the eyes of your fans.

652

The fun thing is that Taeyang is when he comes to the concert concert,

653

he's coming to the concert concert and he's crying out and crying out I think it's a big感受

654

We'll tour and tour the world and we'll see a lot of fans in the stadium Oh,

655

it's been a long time since I've been there for 5 years So,

656

I feel like I've been through the whole world I feel like it's a different feeling Arira Oh yeah,

657

hotel rooms are starting out Tickets are gonna go crazy Hotel rooms

658

Do you remember those days

659

when you were walking around Just handing out flyers just trying to convince people to come to your first show?

660

I don't remember my head, but I remember the image of the show.

661

It was a good memory.

662

It was so long to remember.

663

It was 12 years ago.

664

It's incredible to think that it started with just with that.

665

I mean, all of this now, this building, this business, this anticipation about this tour started with you guys just on the street, just asking people to come to see a show.

666

I know, like when I first got into the label, it was big hit,

667

like before HYBE for hype there was nine people in us in one floor it was 2010 like April

668

and I remember you know the the office was awful

669

and the nine people they all had to be you know

670

in charge of like three jobs like somebody had to do like mails

671

and like shippings and like design at the same time yeah And now it's like, I think it's like more than like 2,500 people right now.

672

So we still sometimes can't believe that, you know, we are here actually.

673

And we also just got out of the army and the military.

674

And like things change like so fast back and forth.

675

But we just naturally always think about like, you know, they just brought us here.

676

and we're for them and they're for us at the same time.

677

So, you know, it's really amazing to see a growth.

678

So they're getting older right now as well because we're getting older too.

679

When we had our debut, they were like an elementary school student and now they are like 25

680

and someone got married

681

and like it's amazing to you know getting old with the with the fans well this is an interesting time

682

because this is in my opinion a legacy play you know

683

that first phase was the building and the amassing of success

684

and fans and achievements you could have ended there

685

and it would have been a perfect journey up to

686

that point to come back you have an opportunity now probably the first of your generation to mature this experience

687

and start to build legacy it's still a big challenge

688

and i'm also really i'm really afraid of uh a new chapter

689

because we have to show different things you know to convince the fans

690

and the people out there we want to reach uh maybe different type of people as Well, since we love each other so much,

691

we're just here still and the fans are there.

692

So what is the reason that we have to stop this precious brand and a thing and a family?

693

Because, you know, for my rest of my life, I can't ever meet, you know, people like this because I'm like 33.

694

I was like, I was 15 when I first met them.

695

But now I'm like 32, maybe

696

but you know like it was it was my teenage

697

and they are really symbolizing my youth as well yeah yeah

698

so I I don't want to miss this chance

699

and I don't want to regret like you know years later

700

man we had to do it again we just shouldn't have

701

stopped this journey we didn't want to you know do

702

that do that thing like interstellar you know yeah was that a conversation like that was beautifully and reflection.

703

But was that actually a conversation amongst the seven of you?

704

I think that's what I'm showing.

705

Even if we don't say anything, we know what to do.

706

And the seven people moving forward were able to do that.

707

I think that's a good synergy to each other. Can this be forever?

708

It's not a world that's eternal, but we have to work with a long time.

709

It's not a world that's eternal.

710

It's not a world that's eternal.

711

It's not a world that's eternal.

712

It's a good thing.

713

If we're going to work with it, we can't do it.

714

I think that we can keep working on each other as much as possible It's good?

715

Good Damn!

716

Damn Damn!

717

I feel really grateful that I'm able to come to this beautiful city

718

and sit with you at this time in your life It's a really special time Ah, damn!

719

Thank you for coming, Dale When it was happening the first time,

720

the 1.0 It was fast and we were all trying to hold on tight and see how big you could get.

721

And you became the biggest.

722

There's no guarantees in life.

723

No. Like you said, there's no guarantees that you were going to come back and do this.

724

And, you know, music is better with you here.

725

Have the best time putting out this record, you know?

726

Enjoy every second of it.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
