Hi, Taehyung-ah 😊🤗 How are you? I hope that you’re now feeling better and that you’ve been resting properly. Our health is our biggest strength, so it’s important that we take good care of it. Rest properly, eat properly, live a healthy lifestyle, find ways to be happy everyday.
Congratulations, once again, on breaking two Guiness World Records, Taehyung-ah, for having the fastest time to hit one million and ten million followers on Instagram back in December 13, 2021 🥳🎉👏🙌 Your fans have been retweeting/reposting the Guinness’ post and it’s making our day brighter every time we come across it. I really miss the time when you’ll post random photos of your every day life and hang out with us like friends on instagram. I want you to know we’re always proud of you. Keep doing amazing, our beloved Taehyung.
It’s also wonderful how your impact is recognized in English textbooks, like the one from Turkey Middle School English textbook for grade school and the PPT for a culture and fashion class at an American university. You are indeed an icon for music, fashion, and Korean culture, and even Korean foods. The restaurants where you dined in quickly became tourist spots for foreign tourists in South Korea and the one foods you’ve shared with us, either from your posts or from your Jinny’s Kitchen, also became sought-after worldwide. I wonder if you’ll have the second season for the show. The spin-off episode released this month and your recent call with Na PD were making us wonder which country you’ll visit next to spread Korean cultural awareness. I wonder what foods you’ll serve too. Since you were talking about Korean restaurant food like makguksu and crab stew, I’m excited to see the group playing like awesome chefs in the show. I think there’s greater interest and excitement if it’s somewhere in Europe since your influence is growing in the continent and you’re already more familiar and affiliated in those areas, particularly France and Spain, due to your frequent travel there. It’s very thrilling for us too. I hope though that the show won’t have staffing problems anymore and that your work there won’t make you forget your real life as a singer, brand ambassador, and a global icon. Most importantly, I hope you won’t nearly die from overwork in Jinny’s Kitchen again, like that time you were getting an IV drip. That’s certainly traumatic. The last time I fainted was when I was at school and it was something I don’t ever want to experience again.
Congratulations, too, on spending 14 weeks and counting on Download Album chart and 12 weeks on Hot Album chart in this week’s Billboard Japan with your Layover, Taehyung-ah. Congratulations, too, on now spending 15 weeks and counting on Billboard Japan Artist 100. Your Japanese fans are always amazing. I wonder if you’ll release a song, or even a surprise mini-album, like version 2 of your Layover in Japanese like BTS’ albums before. That would be super fantastic and I’m super looking forward to that. I think, it could be because I’ve been watching anime for the most part of my life, even grew up with it, I might have a bit of a Japanese mind, heart, and preferences, so I feel a lot for them. Your activities there will be a whirlwind, Taehyung-ah, but of course, your impact often gets bigger because you look after your performances, lead the creative direction, and make sure you do everything from the heart. I wish you won’t be spending too much, though. Make sure that whatever you’re doing will be an investment and not a liability for the long term.
Congratulations on getting 43M views for your Rainy Days, Taehyung-ah. 🥳🎉👏🙌Congratulations, too, on garnering 155M streams for this song on Spotify. 🥳🎉👏🙌 Because it’s getting colder and raining a lot too, I’ve been thinking a lot about your Rainy Days. The rainy days really make us think of the one we love, right? I can now understand why it’s like that. I hope you’re always healthy and doing well, Taehyung-ah. I hope you’re happy too and that you’ll always know you’re loved sooo much.
Congratulations, too, on being the best-selling male soloist on Circle chart in 2023 from January to October with your Layover. Congratulations on breaking the record for the fastest album by a Korean act to reach 700M streams on Spotify in 2023 with your Layover, Taehyung-ah 🥳🎉👏🙌 Congratulations, too, on now spending 95 days and counting on Global Spotify Artist Chart and remaining the third longest charting Korean soloist on the chart. I am really happy that you have finally released your official solo album, Taehyung-ah, after releasing K-OSTs and unofficial but very beautiful songs. I won’t stop begging you to release those beautiful songs you’ve teased us and played for us on instagram, twitter, and weverse before. I wonder, if your Scenery, which broke records on SoundCloud, was also released on Spotify, iTunes, and Korean music platforms at the same time, it would have made the same impact like what your Sweet Night did. I’m really happy all your beautiful songs that I played to listen to your beautiful voice are now officially in the same places. Your Inner Child, Blue & Grey, Scenery, Sweet Night, Snow Flower, Winter Bear, Singularity, Stigma, and It’s Definitely You, as well as the newly released ones, Christmas Tree, Love Me Again, Rainy Days, Slow Dancing, For Us, and Blue just seem like a perfect playlist to listen to you and know you. I really hope you’ll release songs that you love more and more in the coming days, weeks, months, years, and decades.
BTS has just released a notice for the release of the digital version of BTS Permission to Dance US. That’s exciting. I know it’s going to be selected scenes and performances throughout the concert, but I really wish to see the ones from LA a lot (the entire concert for each day). That might be asking for too much. It’s hard to trace clips from fans since it’s been quite a while already, but the memories from that time still remain so fresh and vivid. They always make me happy and energized. What I love the most from that time is that you were so happy. Seeing the fans while you’re performing for the first time in a while must have made you very happy. I really wished you’ll be performing a lot since that time. I was looking forward to BTS concerts after you’ve announced the album was in the making. I imagine you performing the tracks from Map of the Soul:7, BE, and Proof albums and how magical those concerts would be. They could be more explosive than the concert tours you’ve already had before. But I understand that will be too much for all of you too. I saw the members barely catching breaths during the series of wild performances, particularly the intro. Those songs were exciting and thrilling, but they’re also very exhausting and I’m afraid you’ll get injuries. You had one during the Grammy’s and Vegas concert, right, Taehyung-ah? So I’m afraid you’ll get more of that, since you already had an even graver one during your PTD in Seoul back in September in 2021. Really, please take good care of yourself. You always get excited when you dance. You even devoured the dance challenges you make during your Layover promotions. I wish you won’t just post them on instagram but also put them on official channels so that we can watch and celebrate them again.
I’m really excited for the PTD digital release. I hope I can see more of you in that release. To be honest, I often get disappointed in BTS DVDs before because I couldn’t see you a lot, particularly when it’s your time to sing your lines or do your signature movements in songs. That’s why, I became guilty of hunting fan videos of you during your concert performances because they captured your best scenes, as well as your expression, sincerity and passion, and posture as you performed your songs with amazing vocals and/or swift skillful movements. No one else can capture them best except from the eyes (camera eyes) of your devoted people and fans. You must have seen those fan videos too and know some of your fans are compiling those best scenes or clips or photos and making a great photofolio or video of you in those events. I hope you’ll make a deal with them so you can get paid for copyright and royalties and so that you won’t be allowing anyone to steal your intellectual property, since you’re basically the content while those videos serve more like marketing tools as they really captured and edited your content beautifully. Meet halfway so anything beautiful is not discarded. Protect your own creations. As a fan, I feel proud and grateful to the admiration others show for you, though I get disappointed when their bigger motivation is money rather than supporting you. Be careful about the people whom you trust to handle your data, content, and other things important to you. If you happen to become victimized already, make sure you report them and that you can prevent them from exploiting you again. Don’t worry, there’s God who’s watching, and such evildoers already have a place intended for them. God is the wisest of all, so He knows to judge best. May His wisdom be with you, too, Taehyung-ah.
I love you so much, Taehyung-ah. I, and so many of your armys, love you so much. Always remember that.Borahae, Saranghae, Taehyung-ah. 💜💜💜💚💚💚❤️❤️❤️
