Greetings - Layover In The Military

Originally Published on May 4, 2024

Hi, Taehyung-ah 🤗🤗🤗 How are you today? I hope that things are going well for you. I wonder if you’re already up at this hour. I hope you’re already getting a good vibe with your military training and that it isn’t too difficult or challenging for you but that you’re starting to see the parts of it that can make good use to you in the long term. 

I must have asked what songs you were listening to before but got mad with your recommendation instead. It was from an artist that I don’t like after all. I think I should still ask what you’re listening to lately, though. I wonder what movies or k-dramas you were watching, too, if you’re allowed to hold a phone in there. That waiting period was already over, right? 

Although you’re in a bit of a layover while doing military training instead of doing what you’re meant to do as a Kpop idol and artist and brand ambassador, things are still going positive for you. Your music, specifically your Layover, keep receiving brand new achievements, like being the fastest album to receive 90M streams for all tracks, while your brand ambassador activities, like the one with Compose Coffee recorded 20% increase in sales and 47% increase in operating profit. 

Your very splendid performance in the military gained the South Korean military international prestige and support, and now the MIlitary Manpower Administration was reconsidering to abolish exemption for sports and arts international stars. I still don’t agree with you and BTS enlisting in the military and I still hope that you’ll be out of there in the soonest time possible. What that Military Manpower Administration should do is just to acknowledge you and BTS’ international contributions and give you the honor and privilege that you deserve before the international fans lose confidence in the scheming-like, imprisoning policies and regulations there. 

Still, Taehyung-ah, make good use of whatever that happens, remain true to yourself, and keep doing things that give you meaning and beautiful learning experience that you can use for the long term. More importantly, always remember that we’re always here for you. 

"The whole secret of a successful life is to find out what is one's destiny to do, and then do it." - Henry Ford. 

I love you so much, Taehyung-ah. I, and so many of your fans and armys, love you so much. May you never stop believing in that. May you always be assured of our love and support for you and know that when it comes to us, you don’t have to do anything unlike you. May you always find the best in you, or the best way to express your ingenuity in every situation, and be happy and proud. There will always be so many among us who can see how amazing you are in each time. I hope you’ll cut the things, people, and situations that make you sad and obscured. Don’t be sorry for being yourself. Always remember you are always loved. Borahae, Saranghae, Taehyung-ah. 💖💖💖🤍🤍🤍💜💜💜
