Following the release of the pre-release track MORE, BTS' j-hope took to Weverse to share the contents of his heart, in a letter to ARMYs. The rapper-dancer said:
"Heh, I'm not sure how you heard it, but I believe there was always an immature desire to show you even cooler things and to make plans for things I could show you both as j-hope of BTS and separately."
The letter revealed that the Daydream rapper had been working on the newly released music for a long time. The seamless blending of genres, coupled with the darker and grungier music video, is testimony to his years of hard work. The artist mentioned in the letter that he has been working on an alternative aesthetic for quite some time.
j-hope expressed his gratitude for ARMYs in the letter
In his letter, shared on Weverse, j-hope discussed a variety of topics. Apart from thanking his fans for their unwavering support, the singer even expressed his delight at showing off a different side of himself.
Apart from the aforementioned statement, the singer-rapper said:
"After finishing my schedule, I'm heading home! Other than the music release, I feel wonderful and am proud in many ways. The song I had prepared was finished when the pandemic began, and I was able to coolly show you all and play it for you. Therefore, I believe that because I feel so fantastic, it will feel like my efforts throughout that period are paying off! This may also be my own sense of fulfillment!"
He continued to share how grateful he is for all the support he is receiving:
"I believe that today marks the day that I achieved those goals. I'm grateful—and possibly even sorry—to the several ARMYs throughout the world who embraced everyone's ideas and emotions at once! I believe that this album, all in all, embodies my spirit!"
The MAMA singer further stated:
"I'd appreciate it if you anticipated it, showed interest, and acknowledged that this was a significant process in which j-hope and the person known as Jung Ho-seok were moving forward."
