BTS Dear class 2020 and BTS graduation story

So, my blog is supposed to explain BTS’s songs. But, today I am just gone quote the heartfelt messages that our boys delivered to all the students graduating this year, 2020. I personally want to congratulate everyone who is graduating. Congratulations!

 

Not that anyone cares but when I graduate, I want to come back to this blog and read these messages again. That’s why I’m gone quote everything that each member said including the story of their graduation.

Kim Namjoon (RM)

“Ten years ago, it snowed really hard on the day of my middle school graduation. I remember that day clearly because I took a picture with my friends, and kept it as my messenger profile for the rest of my school years. On that day, I was just a boy who had closed just one chapter ready to pen another. And I remember that feeling, it’s thrilling and breathtaking. It was a moment I felt most like me, myself. A feeling I wanted to hold onto forever.

So, as a fellow individual in his 20's, all the way from Seoul, Korea, I want to say congratulations. We’re very excited for what lies ahead of you. Regardless of where or how far you are, we hope our stories today can give you some sort of comfort, hope and maybe even a bit of inspiration.”

Jeon Jungkook(JK)

"Unlike RM, my graduation is recorded online via YouTube on BANGTAN BOMB. My fellow BTS members were there throughout all my high school years. I remember them saying, “When did you grow old enough to graduate?” And once the ceremony was over, we went and had Jajangmyeon together. I recently watched that video again, and it made me wonder. Did that child really grow to become me? RM mentioned that he still sees himself in the boy in the graduation picture, but I feel like I’ve come a very long way.

All I’ve done is continue on, but even today, I continue to learn new things. So here I stand with my members, with faith in myself, my members, and the world. And I hope you also will do the same for yourself and move forward."

Kim Seok Jin (JIN)

"My memory of graduation is a little different. It was before my debut as BTS. I was around 20, just a high school graduate going into   university. Back then, the notion of becoming adult was something quite scary. Anxious about making my way into an unfamiliar world, I was cautious of everything I said or did. Sometimes, I’d feel restless, watching my friends go on far ahead of me. And attempting to keep up with their speed would only leave me breathless. I soon realized that their pace was not my own. What held me together during those times was a promise I made with myself: “to take it slow.” I’d go at my own pace, steadily. From then on, it became a habit of mine to take extra time for myself. For instance, when learning choreography, I begin practice days earlier than the others do.

 

If any of you feels lost in the face of doubt or uncertainty, or the pressure of starting anew, don’t rush. Take a deep breath. You may find that any moment can be turned into an opportunity. Allow yourself to take it easy. Take it one step at a time. You might discover the important things you were missing, and they will reach out to you."  

Min Yoongi (Suga)

"These days, I feel as though I’ve fallen to the ground during a race. I dust my knees and get up again, only to find that there is nobody around me. It’s as though I’m deserted on an island. This might not be the grand finale that you had imagined, and a fresh start might seem far away. But I wish to tell you: Please, don’t be afraid, don’t worry yourself. The end and beginning, beginning and end are connected.

There are some things you can do in isolation, such as focusing only on yourself and breaking your own barriers. One small person can dream the biggest dream, paint the largest picture, and make endless possibilities come true.

When we meet again, I look forward to seeing your dream, your picture, and your endless possibilities out in this world.Take your hands off of what you can’t control, and get your hands on what you can change. As you and I continue on in life, we will find ourselves in so many situations out of our grasp. The only thing we can control is ourselves. Get your hands on the changes you can make, because your possibilities are limitless. After all, I also had no idea I would become BTS either."

Park Jimin (Jimin)

"At the same time, I am worried for everyone. I think about your health, and whether you’re doing okay, whether you are holding on tight during a time when nothing seems to go as planned, whether your body and mind are all safe and sound. I hope you are all doing well, but if things are not okay even in the slightest, we send you our most sincere                consolation with all our hearts.

Suga likened the state of today to being deserted on an island, but I hope you will never give up. Remember there is a person here in Korea, in the city of Seoul, who understands you. We are all in different parts of the world, in different environments and circumstances. But in this moment, I hope we can all give each other a warm pat on the back and say: “It’s okay.” "

Jung Hoseok (J-Hope)

"I’m not much different from all of you. At times, I feel as though I’ve reached a dead end as I perform and make music. Sometimes, my mind is bleached white and I can hardly take another step forward. It’s a regular occurrence as I work. At these times, I think, “just this once.” “Just this once.” And I pick myself back up. I decide to trust myself. The next attempt might not be perfect, but the second is better than the first, and the third is even better than the second. And that is the moment I decide, I’m glad I chose not to give up.

There will be times in your life when you question your own decisions, whether it be about your major or your profession, whether you have made the right choice, whether you are doing well or walking the path of failure. And when you do, remember: You are the leader of your own life. And chant it over and over again, I can do it. You got it. I can do it well. I can do it better than anybody. Like this."

Kim Taehyung (V)

"When you look back to today years from now, how will you remember it? Many of us are at war with reality right now. But I hope we can take bits of this moment with us, in a photograph or a memo, to look back to and remember June of 2020 and how it compares with the new today you will be embracing.

In all honesty, I wasn’t born with the talents of singing and dancing, and wasn’t much the persevering type either. I began later than my friends and was lacking in some aspects, but I soon developed a joy and passion for singing and dancing. The joy motivated my persistent efforts, and has led me to where I stand today.

 If there is anyone out there who cannot see where they should go from here forth, I urge you to listen to your heart. Things may feel a little difficult right now, but somewhere out there, luck and opportunity is waiting for you. I believe that. On that note, I will remember this day. Today may not be my own graduation, but I will try to look back upon this day years from now and remember it as a memory to treasure. And I look forward to the day you will stand and tell us your own story."

Thank you BTS for your messages and I hope when we see each other again, we get to hear stories of the  Armys all over the world who graduated this year and know their experiences.

If any of you who's reading this and has reached the end, I would like to ask, Are you a graduate? If yes, I would love to hear your graduation story.

I hope we all work hard together and make those life decisions which makes our heart happy. Thank You.
