On June 13, 2013, exactly 10 years ago, the BTS made his dreamed debut with the album “2 Cool 4 Skool”, accompanied by the title track “No More Dream”. Due to the time difference, celebrations for the iconic group’s birthday have already begun, and to celebrate such a special date, some members shared emotional letters with fans reflecting on the past decade.
Check the translation of the letters from j-hope, MRI It is Jimin!

“ARMYs, you are doing well, right?
For now, I’m probably busy with military disciplines!
I will likely be in a state where I will be extremely busy!
Sort of in a ‘scheduled text message’ vibe…
But to comfort the hearts of those who don’t have Hobi now, I’m saying my regards through this letter, albeit a little short, on this very special day!
The year 2023, 613!! I wonder how you all are feeling right now..!!
I’ve always been with you, but now, having to pass the 613 [13 de junho] without some people, deep down I feel like I’m a little worried and lonely.
As we always have/remember, today, from this moment on, let’s remember only ourselves and remember the memories we had during all this time and let’s spend this date happily~♥♥
I feel like this is how we can spend our 613 fully like us~!! hahahaha (infinite sincerity)
I feel like there will be members in full swing with their solo activities, so I ask everyone to give them a lot of support and love!! Whatever the day, for sure I sincerely thank and love you from the bottom of my heart~!!”

“If they say that even mountains and rivers change in ten years, it is really true. There were numerous waves (ups and downs). There are so many forgotten dawns.
The 20-year-old and 30-year-old me feel like completely different people. Now, even the old me feels strange.
It really is something special when a word is hexed. Until a noun becomes a pronoun. Until Bangtan became Bangtan and ARMY became ARMY.. There was a lot of storms and love. Perhaps we have built our own world, which perhaps no one can understand.
Thanks to all the ARMYs and many people who helped us, we had a truly special experience that we will never be able to repeat.
Looking back, it was familiar to run endlessly through the door, even after a brief moment of nostalgia.
So far, I’m still looking forward to the second half of our journey. I feel like anything could happen.
The concerns and ambiguities we had at seventeen and twenty are still valid today.
As I mature a little more, I realize that there are so many things in this world that cannot be explained by words and writing alone.
I learned that even things that seemed immutable one day end up changing.
Furthermore, I understood that the birth of a simple ‘name’ requires so much power and love from so many people.
I’m still very inexperienced.
I will likely continue to feel awkward, anxious, and distressed in the future.
Even so, I will keep moving forward.
Separately and together, even if you are far apart, for me, you are here.
And I hope you have my presence too.
Members, staff, family and friends! And ARMYs! You have tried very hard.
Let’s live well together for the next ten years too.
In this world thing!
I love you”.

“ARMY, it’s Jimin. Wow, it’s our 10th anniversary. Since when does time go like this? I can’t believe I’m 29 now when I was only 19 when I first met you.
I’m an adult too now. Although I still feel like I did when I was 19 inside, but my body… Hehehe… It’s really strange.
Anyway!
I just miss you.
We used to wonder what it would be like when we hit 10, then 20. I don’t think anything has changed much LOL. In fact, it’s even better. How should I place it? I think I’m a little emotional because I was watching Jin hyung in Suchwita right now, but it’s great. Instead of feeling sad, I’m totally happy because it feels like there’s something everyone and I are building together, little by little, together.
It might be a little weird for me to say this, but it doesn’t feel like ‘Oh, it’s our first anniversary!! ASDFGDSKJLSFVOFJV!! It’s our second anniversary!! SDFJKSLDVIORJDKLV!’ LOL
It’s like, ‘Wow…so we’re here now.’
Wait, no, wait. It’s not that. I knew it couldn’t be put into words. To tell you the truth, at first it felt like the time we were all together had stopped since last year, so I was a little depressed. But that’s not it. We are all doing this together. Thinking about each other, in our respective places, thinking about what we can do now and continuously taking on new challenges.
So recently I’m totally happy. Of course, I miss you the most. I’m really curious to hear how everyone is doing recently and what your concerns are. I’m sorry I can’t meet you often. Even so, I am always thinking of you.
I think I say that a lot. 8 years is a long time and a short time… 9 years is both…, etc. But having Year 10 approaching feels different. It’s something no one can ignore, something solid, easier to share and understand. Yes, that’s how I felt. I’m happy. So I want to work harder to maintain that relationship.
Although I’ve said this to ARMY a few times, it’s not something anyone can do, being able to unconditionally give someone their love, support, and strength. That’s why we are very conscious of how happy we are with people.
And you, who helped us to feel this, must also feel overwhelming happiness and love. You need. Do you understand?
To ARMY whom I am always grateful and love, let’s be happy for a long, long time. Hehe”.
