‘Love’ continues to be a complicated word for me.
Have I ever, even just once, actually loved someone?
I have held on to that question for so long
and all I’ve grown surer of,
is the fact that I still don’t know.

Last year, I felt trapped in a lot of +

Namjoon on Weverse, 250116:

To me, 'love' is still a complicated word.
Have I ever loved someone properly at least once.
I've been holding on to that question for a long time
There's only one thing that's certain.
The fact that I still don't know.
I've been stuck with a lot of things over the past year.
It's gone after a while,
I don't know how many people are leaving on the way In the meantime, I'm shaking, I'm in pain We've gone through a lot of mistakes.
After that time
It feels like I'm just standing looking at spring.
This wait won't be the last,
But I didn't stop and came all the way here.
That's a relief.
I have a lot of thoughts,
I'll try to believe that I've grown up every time I'm going to fail and make mistakes again.
In the process, I'll make someone sad He'll hurt himself, right?
But I think I know now.
I mean, trying to do a good job doesn't give you all the answers.
I'm so excited to be back after a long time
My heart is humbled.
Even if you catch your breath and choose your horse, it's still rough and clumsy,
I don't know why you talk a lot again.
But I'm trying to tell you without hiding.

Still
When good music is made, my heart beats, When I play with the members, I laugh like a child.
And when I think of ARMY BOMB in the audience who will shine like a forest at night
I feel like I'm about to cry.
This energy and heart makes me and us 1 believe you brought me all the way here.
Someone is watching
Someone left
Someone will worry, regret and blame, right?
Nevertheless, in some form If you're waiting for us If that's your love
I want to get back on my feet a few times.
Even if you're stumbling!
The way a person tries to love the world. a way of trying to live.
If we're all one universe
That might be all about the universe.

The way a person tries to love the world. a way of trying to live.
If we're all one universe
That might be all about the universe.
That's how I feel
Wait and wait.
New Year's greetings are late.
I mean, I'm going to go further now.
Where the sun rises, where spring is heard.-And finally to where you are!
It's a sentence of Rilke that's been in my mind for a long time
I'm done with the mess.
Love is still complicated,
Nevertheless, 1 want to say it with a simple mind.
I love you !
"Let everything happen to you: beauty and terror.
Just keep going. No feeling is final."

Hi, friends! I was recently hospitalized because of extremely low SpO2, and still have a few labs coming up. Insurance couldn’t fully cover it because of my congenital heart condition (Tetralogy of Fallot). If my dailybts/dailyseokjin posts have ever made you smile, please consider buying me a ☕️? 🥹

BTS Confirmed to Make a Comeback on March 20 [Official]

(Shared by BigHit Music on their official Facebook page; sources on the next post.)

BTS (RM,Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, Jungkook) will make their comeback on March 20. This Wil be the first full-group album release in about 3 years and 9 months since the anthology album Proof, which was released in June 2022.
The comeback date was first revealed through handwritten letters the members recently sent to ARMY (their fandom). To welcome the New Year, the members wrote letters by hand and had them delivered to fans' homes. Along with expressing gratitude to the fans who have remained by their side without change, they also wrote the date "2026.03.20" on the letters as a hint about the comeback.

The members shared their heartfelt messages:

. RM: "I've waited for this more desperately
than anyone."

○ Jin: "Thank you so much for waiting for us."

○ Suga: "Let's enjoy this year together too. I
love you."

○ J-Hope: "Finally, what we've been imagining
is becoming reality!"

○ Jimin: "The year we meet again has arrived."

• V: "In 2026, we'll make even more and even
better memories together, so please look
forward to it!"

○ Jungkook: "I miss you! Please take good care
of us this year as well."

This letter was a gift for ARMYs who have
maintained their Weverse membership over the
past three years and shared memories with BTS.
Members who were unable to receive the
physical letter will be able to view the same
messages on Weverse at the end of January. This
was prepared so that fans both in Korea and
overseas who waited together could all share in
the hearts of the seven members.

On the last day of 2025, BTS welcomed the New
Year together with fans through a live broadcast
on Weverse as a full group. They reflected on the
past year and also shared their hopes for the new
one, saying, "We hope our comeback goes well
and the album does great. Let's make BTS a big
success."

Meanwhile, following the release of their new
album on March 20, BTS will embark on a
large-scale world tour. Further details about the
new album and concerts will be announced later
through official channels.
