“We have reached milestones that are far beyond what I expected.”

“We are happy that we could resonate with so many people.”

“It's the encouragement from fans that drove us and allowed BTS to become who we are.”

“If we think something is not good, we'll openly say it. If there's choreography, for example, and it feels like it's going to be too taxing on our physical resources - as I said, we're not getting any younger - we'll say so, and then we'll make those changes.”

“We deliver many different messages to people of our generation. I want them to get good energy by listening to BTS music.”

“We will try to make the name BTS sound as cool as The Beatles.”

“We're proud that everything we do is giving off light.”

“I remember being captivated by Jules Verne's 'Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea' when I read it as a kid.”

“We're working out, watching Netflix and learning to play instruments. I think we're doing a lot of self-development, and also just trying to stay active.”

“The way I work uses a very on-the-spot flow, and I write the lyrics and the music when I feel them coming.”

“I started dancing first, but felt I could also tell my story through my music.”

“We started out because we love music and dancing.”

“My fantasy had always been making a music video and performing with music that I had created.”

“The music helped me sympathize with our young generation and also empathize with them. I'd like to create and write more music that represents them.”
