Hello, this is BTS.
After four long years of waiting, the seven members gathered again and faced you in a meaningful space called Gwanghwamun. I would like to thank everyone for their generous consideration and support so that our return stage can be completed safely.
First of all, I would like to bow to the police, firefighters, the government, and local governments who embraced Gwanghwamun Square as our return stage and worked hard to make it a safe performance without any major accidents in the midst of large crowds.
I would like to express my sincere apologies and thank you to the citizens who endured the inconveniences, such as traffic control and noise, as well as to the merchants and office workers in Gwanghwamun area. We will never take for granted the warm consideration for our performance with a broad heart and keep it in our hearts for a long time.
And most of all, our precious ARMY who is our everything and pride!
Thank you so much for trusting and waiting for us for a long time. As soon as I heard your cheers filling the square, I felt overwhelmed, 'Oh, you're finally back.' We were even more moved by the way you were considerate of each other and enjoyed the performance in a mature and orderly manner despite the large number of people. As always, you are our greatest pride. I would like to express my sincere love and gratitude to ARMY around the world for sending me the same heart beyond the screen.
This Gwanghwamun stage is not just for the seven BTS of us. It was a stage completed with the hard work of those who were responsible for safety, the warm understanding of citizens, and the unwavering love of ARMY.
We will not forget this great love and support you have sent us, and we will make a bigger sound and better music in the future journey of BTS. I hope today's hot memories will remain a pleasant gift in your daily life for a long time.
We were really, really happy.
