“It was a lot of pressure to be honest (laughs). A great experience, and it's not like you get to stand at that podium just because you want to. I was mostly thinking, 'My thoughts could just be pretty ordinary, is it right for me to take this opportunity just because it's given to me?”

Even if we can't have a long and deep conversation with each and every individual, at least a conversation where we look at each other and shout together and exchange glances, that kind of conversation. That's what's more meaningful.”

“When I read the critiques about painter Song Sangki, there was one part that touched me most.

“As it so happens, following on from LOVE YOURSELF, the first line of the MAP OF THE SOUL series' opening song, "Intro: Persona," goes: "Who am I." Of course, like it says in the lyrics, "The question I had my entire life" is "The question I'll probably never find the answer to my whole life." However, it is in the process of answering this question, which comes around in every period of life, that a person learns what it is they have to do.”

“Until then, my image of pop stars were just "pop stars." The people I grew up listening to and admiring. It's only right to be fascinated. I had this fantasy that they would be very different from me. But then, I learned they really weren't. On the outside, they ride expensive cars, wear gold chains, and have fancy parties every day. But a lot of it turned out to be just part of the business. It was "work" for them, in other words. And if they couldn't afford the cars or jewelry, they would rent them to show them off. There was, shall we say, a shattering. My fantasies were just shattered.”

“What am I going to do, except accept it. Our schedule was so packed that it was a matter of, 'Is my body going to break first, or my mind?' And my body was so tired, my mind did not have the strength to be anxious, even.”

“On what he was like as a trainee, V remembered himself less as a person who did his best unconditionally and more as someone who had to "like" something to do it. He needed, therefore, the leisure to recharge and take stock just as much as he needed practice to improve. He referred to this as "the adolescence of the mind," which could be interpreted as the determination to attain personal happiness over material "success."
I tell myself a lot that I will become a better person. But I think I have to become happy myself first or somehow receive a kind of energy in order to take a step closer to becoming that better person. It's the same when I'm inspired. In the beginning of the pandemic, when our entire schedule was canceled and we could rest a bit, I suddenly had this craving to see the ocean at night. So I went with an old school friend to Sokcho in the middle of the night. We lit sparklers, recorded the sound of the ocean, and tried writing songs over the recordings of the night waves. Seeing the ocean at night when I really wanted to see it as opposed to when I really didn't was incredibly different. When my heart is satisfied this way, I take note of the emotions that come to me and write them down.”

“Whether you're under pressure or not, what you really need to prepare is your heart. Thinking about this and that will only make you too anxious to do even the things you're good at doing.

“If I'd had to find the answer to every question on my own every time, it would've been a really hard path to follow, but I think I was always influenced by the people around me. Who likes me, whom I get onstage with, who will lead me, who will support me. These are what's really important to me.”

“I'd relied so much on him and the members of BTS, which I suppose meant a part of me had always sought his approval. So hearing him say that did put my feelings in order a bit...In any case, I'm surrounded by good people and beloved by our fans, so how could I ever fail?”

“I think that's how I became conscious of how to think. As I began to have favorite artists, I found new ways of communicating with myself. A work of art is the visual result of an artist who had thought long and hard about things, right? With so much trial and error put into it. Which is why I feel such a catharsis in seeing the results of an artist putting out a piece of art as if they were saying, "This is what I think," after going through all that processing.”
