In K-pop, the bond between idols and fans goes far beyond music. Idols are a source of inspiration, spreading positivity and helping fans find joy and purpose in life.
BTS perfectly embodies this ideal. Over the years, the global group has touched hearts not only through their music and artistry but also through their actions and inspiration. They have helped countless ARMYs overcome difficult times, heal emotional wounds, and find hope for the future.
BTS has always expressed deep gratitude for ARMY’s unwavering support, but fans often feel that the idols themselves are the greatest source of inspiration and appreciation.
Recently, a heartfelt post written by a longtime ARMY for Jin on Weverse went viral on social media. What made it even more special was that Jin read the letter and responded, leaving fans even more moved.
The post reflected eight years of love and admiration, recalling moments of comfort brought by his voice and smile, and expressing pride in following his journey. The English translation reads:
*”Dear Seokjin oppa,
It’s already been 8 years since I started loving you. At first, I just thought you were handsome and funny, but over time, I realized the sincerity and dedication within you. Even after 13 years of your career, you have never been involved in controversy and have always upheld the true essence of being an idol, focusing solely on your fans. That is truly amazing and admirable.
You always put our happiness first. If something joyful happens, I want to be happy with you; if something sad happens, I want to share that sadness with you too. This month, your hometown concert was my very first concert ever, and I could feel the passion and love you have for being on stage—it was delivered to me exactly as it is.

The way you manage yourself to always show your best is admirable. I understand very well how much effort you put into being an idol. Even in difficult times, you face fans with a smiling face—thank you for that. Thanks to you, I have been able to endure each day and smile again.
To me, you are more than an idol—you show how sincerity, warmth, and responsibility can shine so brightly in life. I will always respect and support you in every form. Every moment of yours has been brilliant, is brilliant, and will continue to be brilliant.
Thank you always, and I love you so much!”*
