안녕하세요 여러분 생일 축하합니다 방탄소년단. 기어코 613이 또 왔군요 다시 6월 13일이라니 작년의 613은 정말 쉽지 않았는데.. 정말 250613이 온 거죠 진짜 제가 여러분보다 더 기다렸습니다 기다리고기다리고기다렸습니다 진짜로. 12주년.. 이야 열두 살 ! 제 멀티버스의 조카 같달까요 무럭무럭 잘 커서 다행이다 부모님 말씀 잘 들어라, 아 아니 조금만 들어라 뭐 부쩍 이런 헛소리들이 떠오르는군요 동생도 오늘이 생일이어서 가족과 시간을 보내다 씻기 전에 꾹꾹 연필심을 부러뜨리며 이 이상한 글을 적고 있습니다 정말이지 오늘이 올 줄은 몰랐습니다 (ㅠㅠ..) 돌이켜보면요 항상 아득했어요 매 앨범 매 프로젝트 매 컴백 어떻게 감히 창작이란 것을 행하고 자신있게 명함을 내밀었던 걸까요? 이런 게 사랑이라며 이런 게 우리라면서 1년 반 동안 쉬니까 도무지 기억이 안 나요 지금도 여전히 길은 안 보입니다 매번 찾으려 부단히 애써볼 뿐. '정확한 사랑의 실험' 이라는 책을 좋아합니다 정확하게 사랑받고 정확하게 사랑하는 것 불가능해보이는 그 일을 늘 해내보고 싶었어요 제 사랑이 비록 얼마나 정확하게 가닿는지는 역설적으로 제가 가장 모르지만요 여러분의 사랑도 정확하게 받아보려구 늘 해석하고 맞춰보며 살았던 것 같아요 다시 한 번 어딘지 모르지만 가보려 해요 얼마나 많은 어디의 어떤 분들이 지금 곁에 계신지 저는 아직도 잘 모르지만 그냥 함께 낭만 있게 걸어가보고 싶다구요 추억을 많이 만들자구요 ! 같이 가주실?? 한 번 더 청해봅니당 피로의 낮 불면의 밤 이해할 수 없는 사람들 꼬리를 무는 생각들 그 모든 풀숲을 헤치고 다시 내일로 허클베리 핀처럼 모험해보려 합니다 매번 아득했던 갈림길 앞 덕분에 버티고 덕분에 부득부득 걸어왔습니다 감사하고 감사해요. 짧게 쓰려고 하면 늘 말이 길어져요 아직 간결해지기엔 너무 젊고 철없나봐요 말이 많아지는 것은 서툰 사랑의 증거이기도 하니 귀엽게 봐주시와요 저희 진짜 한 번 더 잘해볼게요 기회를 주셔서 고마워요 또 사랑해요 좋은 날이에요 잘 자요 ! - 자유인 남준이가 (https://weverse.io/bts/artist/4-201425257)

Hello everyone, Happy Birthday BTS. Finally, 613 is here again.

I can’t believe it’s June 13th again The last 613 was really not easy.. But 250613 has really come I’ve honestly been waiting for this more than you guys. I’ve just been waiting and waiting and waiting, truly.

Our 12th year.. omg it’s 12 years old! It’s almost like a nephew* from the multiverse “You’re all grown up, I’m so proud” “Be good and listen to your parents”, “No actually, don’t listen that much” I keep thinking nonsense like that.

Today is also my sister’s birthday, so I spent time with my family, and now I’m here, pressing down and breaking pencil tips as I write this strange letter, before I go take a shower. I really did not think today was going to come (ㅠㅠ..)

Looking back, it always felt so distant. Every album, every project, every comeback- How was I bold enough to create, and so confidently put my name to things? Talking about how “this is love” “this is us” Now that I’ve taken a break for a year and a half, I can’t remember at all Even now, as always, I can’t see the road ahead I’m just constantly trying my best to find it.

There’s this book I like called ‘The experiment of definite love’*². Receiving a love that is definite, and loving in a way that is definitive feels like an impossible thing, but it’s something I’ve always wanted to achieve. Even though, ironically, I know least of all how definitively my love has reached other people. I want to make sure I receive your love in a clear, definitive manner too, so I’ve always tried to analyse and understand it.

I want to go again, even though I don’t know where. Even though I don’t know where and who and how many people are by my side right now, I just want to go ahead and romantically walk side by side Let’s make lots of memories together! Will you go with me?? I invite you once again~

Exhausted days and sleepless nights, endless thoughts about people I can’t understand. I’m trying to plow through the forest and venture out to tomorrow, like Huckleberry Finn. Everytime I stood in front of distant crossroads, I stubbornly kept at it and made my way forward, thanks to you. I am so, so grateful.

Whenever I try to keep it short, I always end up writing too much. Looks like I’m still too young and immature to be concise. Having too much to say is also a sign of an inexperienced love, so please think of this as cute instead. We’ll make sure to do a good job again, really. Thank you for giving us the opportunity. Once again, I love you. It’s a nice day. Sleep well!
