RM on 10 years of BTS

BTS leader Kim Namjoon penned a letter on their online fan community Weverse and talked about the band's special bond with the fans. He wrote, "It's a really special thing to be enchanted by certain words. Until a noun becomes a pronoun; when BTS becomes BTS and when ARMY becomes ARMY. There was a lot of rain and wind, and also love. We built our own world that no one could possibly understand."

RM added, "Thanks to the ARMYs and so many people who helped us, I was able to experience something special that I won't be able to experience again. Looking back, I became used to kicking open the door and leaving after being absorbed in reminiscing briefly. Even now, I'm still imagining our part 2. It feels like it can be anything."

Jimin shared, "I've told you ARMYs a few times already, it's not easy to support and love someone and give them strength for no particular reason. That is why I am able to understand how happy we are. You, who made us feel this way, should feel overflowing happiness and receive love. You must. Understand? ARMY, whom I am always thankful to and love, Let's be happy for a long long time."

Kim Taehyung walked down the memory lane

His note read, "It's already the 10th anniversary since we've debuted. For 10 years, our members thank you for being healthy and making good memories together ARMYs thank you so much and thanks to you, we're able to do this while gaining strength!"

J-Hope shared, "ARMYs, you're all doing well, right?? About now, I'm probably in an extremely nervous state with my military discipline!! In a sort of 'scheduled text message' vibeâ€æ To comfort all of you going through this Hobi-less time, I will send my greetings through letters on special days like this, even though it's short!"
