A throwback to V’s first ever post

V started his post by introducing himself. He wrote, ‘Hello! This is V. Finally, the day comes when I can also write on the fan cafe. After seeing the members talking to the fans for a few months, I was like, Ah.. When will I be able to talk to the fans?’. He continued, ‘My hands were itching to write (a letter/post) I don't know how much I spent going back & forth between the fan cafe & Twitter (now X), feeling nervous every time I saw a speculative comment about me.’

Referring to fans' curiosity about him he said, ‘I'm sure you're all very curious about this, right? It's finally time to say hello! I'm happy to be able to talk to our fans now. We have 10 days left before we perform on stage. Excitement, nervousness, anticipation, tension… I spend each day attacking my heart with feelings that I can't express. We are growing the Bangtan hearts we will give to our fans. So please keep watching over us. Let's meet in 10 days! Now, I'm going to calm down my excitement and go practice to prepare for a great performance! I'll come again next time.’
