Taehyung’s “FRI(END)S” is a beautiful song, and it isn’t a wonder how V’s “FRI(END)S” got a long list of achievements. Congratulations 🥳🎉👏🙌 I remember having LSS (last song syndrome) where our Taehyung’s song kept playing on my mind after its release. It’s indeed very beautiful. To our Taehyung, thank you so much for sharing that song with us. The music video is so beautiful, too, except for the thriller plot twist and the ending. The scene in the cafe is picture perfect, just like a painting that has a message. I think it’s kinda like you’re dedicating it to your love for arts as well – to your Vante, and to Vincent Van Gogh.

I hope that V, our Taehyung, will have a music video with a happy ending next time. That shows how important things are for him and that he wants to keep them no matter what. That also shows his positive attitude towards life, that his hard work pays off because it makes him happy. Moreover, doing that shows he can keep that happiness, because that’s the truth. I also pray that good things will come to our Taehyung, so I am reassured that will happen, and now, I think I should also pray that Taehyung can keep those good things. I also pray the same for myself.

Here’s an outline of Taehyung’s achievements that I made before. He has already extended his records and surpassed other milestones, but still it’s good to present these awesome achievements that he made before.

I hope our Taehyung is doing well in the military. I wonder if they have weekends off there. I hope that he does and that he’s able to rest. I hope that he’s surrounded by wonderful people who support him, especially since he’s in SDT, which is known to have very difficult drills and tasks.

Now that there are only a few months—4 months to be exact—until he completes his military service, I wonder what kind of preparations he’s making. I remember before when one of his ARMYs pointed out a calendar from BTS Festa, and she noticed how there were already plans made for the remainder of the year, including opening his IG account because there was a drawing of a camera similar to Instagram back then.

I wonder if that’s also the case with him, where his activities are already set for the remainder of the year. He said he wasn’t able to rest during his solo activities since 2022, even more so in 2023, and though he’s serving in the military in 2024, he has still left us with beautiful projects, both songs and magazines/photo albums. It must be very tough to have worked on all of them, from the planning stage to meeting and filming. I hope he can find time to rest this time. It’s also great that he has a lot of projects that he’s shared with us. I’m so happy every time he gives us an update.

Let’s keep moving forward, keep a positive momentum, and keep being healthy and happy. Taehyung-ah, you’ve got so many of us – a million stars for Tae – from around the world who are praying for you and who love you so much. I hope you can still remember it.
