Hi, Taehyung-ah π€π€π€ How are you today? I hope that things are going well for you and that nobody is doing any dirty, black scheming on you today. I hope a lot of people are taking care of you everywhere you go and that you're making sincere, loyal, and reliable friends. Here's a quote I've picked up today: "When you are not practicing, someone else is. When you meet him, he will win." - Martial Arts proverb. Don't stop doing what you love and what you're good at, Taehyung-ah, and don't ever be told by anyone that you can't or shouldn't do it anymore. We're happy to see you dancing with your friends and learning a difficult choreograph quickly and with great form as always, too. It's great to see that you've become stronger and more tenacious in the military. You know how there are so many of us who are very proud of you. Even non-fans are delighted of your acconplishments in the military. I hope all of these and more ease your hardships a little bit. When you really love what you're doing and you're happy at it, you also naturally share that light with others, and it's easy to see why so many of those who surround you are happy and proud to see you doing well for the things you've chosen to do. It's natural to worry about competition whether you're in the military or not, but I hope that while you're in there, you can say that you have tried your hardest with whatever is available to you. Preparation is the key, right? Working hard is your territory, so don't lose faith on the things you have already worked hard on - be it in music, brand impact, or the military - and keep making progress in them. For many people, feelings or motivation don't matter. I now think it makes sense once a direction has already been set and if there are strong mo*ral principles. I've recently re-watched some episodes of Hwarang and it's interesting to see sworn enemies being on the same side and cooperating for the same goal. It really is the old people's way to scheme; the young to isolate. When you need an ally, Taehyung-ah, may you always be able to find them, and may they be so many and so impactful they could give you strength. Thank you for showing your fans and ARMYs an update. It's not often that you get a vacation, so I'm happy and grateful that you still manage to insert us in your private hangout with friends. I hope you've enjoyed it a lot and that you've spent a long time just talking about anything and having fun. I haven't done anything during your Layover's release, and a lot of ARMYs are the same during that period, but those friends were there for you throughout those difficult times. Even though we don't have the same interests and sense of humor (I certainly don't like the influence, particularly the dance songs, but since I also don't like the nonsense nature of the hackers surrounding me, I just know they're celebrating), it seems they get you very much and you're undoubtedly comfortable with them. I am for like-minded people that bring progress, so I guess you can do it. Keep being happy and healthy. I know you'll be very happy again. 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 donβt 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 each time. I hope youβll cut the things, people, and situations that make you sad and obscured. Donβt be sorry for being yourself. Always remember you are always loved. Borahae, Saranghae, Taehyung-ah. ππππ€π€π€πππ
