it was so important for them as people and artists. their desire to continue being bts for a long time is heart warming, but it would have been impossible if the members didn't take the time to work on their individual artistry and goals. chapter 2 helped them grow up so much as artists and now

i'm more sure than ever about bangtan continuing for a long long time, both as a group and as individual artists whose love for music will leave a huge mark in the world forever.

to find answers to questions like “who am I without you?” Or “is there anything better out there?” Or “Will I still choose you after all this time?” and it’s the most beautiful thing to realize that yes, all 7 members still choose to be with each other after all this time.

Same. I’m so damn proud of them.

sgmnyg7.bsky.social•14 hours ago
