RM And Jimin Pen Touching Letters For Group's 10th Debut Anniversary

BTS's RM and Jimin have shared  sweet posts in celebration of the group's 10th debut anniversary!

On June 13th, BTS rang in their 10th debut anniversary and RM commemorated the occasion with a series of meaningful photos. The first photo reads "10th anniversary congrats congrats" in RM's handwriting, followed by a sweet handwritten note. The post also includes an old photobooth strip of BTS that was first uploaded in 2013, stage photos of BTS at their first fan meeting in 2014 and at their concert, as well as a cute selfie.

Read RM's letter below:

They say rivers and mountains change in ten years.. and it's true.
There have been endless new waves reaching new heights. There are so many late nights that I do not remember.
Myself at 20 and 30 feel like completely different people. Now, my past self feels more unfamiliar.
It is quite special to feel enchanted by certain words.
For a noun to become a pronoun. For bulletproof to become BTS, for army to become [BTS's fan club] ARMY..
There was a lot of rain, wind, and love. We've built our own world that we may not make anyone else understand.
Thanks to ARMY and the many people who helped us
We've had very special experiences that we can never experience again.
Looking back, even if I was momentarily soaked in reminiscence, I was used to kicking down doors and stepping out without rest.
Even now, I am still taking a guess at our second chapter. I feel like we can become anything.
The worries and ambivalence I had at 17 and 20 years old are still valid now.
As I gradually become an adult
I learned that in the world, there are many things that cannot be explained through words and writing,
And that things you thought would never change, change someday too.
Also, that the birth of one 'name'
Needs the strength and love of so many people.
I am still incredibly immature.
In the future too, I will likely continue to be unfamiliar, nervous, and in distress.
But I will still move forward.
Apart and together, far but close, I have you all,
And I hope you all have me.
My members, staff, family, and friends! And ARMY! You've worked so hard.
Let's live together well for the next 10 years too. In this bad world!
I love you.
2023. June. 12.
Nam June

RM's photobooth picture was first shared in September 2013 with the tweet reading "Kim hundred thousand!!! Wow!!! Here!! Is the person who saw seven boys wearing dark clothes and asked if we were celebrities seeing this!!" 

Jimin took to his Weverse account to pen the following letter to his dedicated fans:

"ARMYs, this is Jimin. hehe.
Wow, it's the 10th anniversary.
When did time pass?
I sometimes can't believe I'm 29 when I met you for the first time at 19.
I'm now an adult too.
My heart still feels like 19 but my body hahaha....
It feels weird.
Either way
I just miss you.
A long time ago, I always wondered what it would be like for us 10, 20 years later.
But it doesn't feel much different. kekeke.
I think it's rather better.
How should I put it, I become a little sentimental after watching Jin Hyung on Suchwita but it's just good.
Rather than the feeling of sadness, I think I am wholly happy because I feel that we're building something together little by little.
It might sound weird but it doesn't feel like
"1 year anniversary1!!!@!#@ 2 year anniversary!!@@xcfswerousdglsd"
It just feels like...
huhuhu this is how we've become.
Actually, it's not that. Hmm, it is definitely hard to express with words.
To be honest, at first, I felt a little depressed starting last year because I felt the time for us all to be together has come to a stop but that wasn't true.
Each of us is thinking and contemplating what we can do in each of our positions and trying things while thinking of one another. All these things are being together.
So, these days, I am wholly happy.
Of course, I miss you the more.
I wonder how you all are doing, what worries you have.
I'm curious but I'm sorry I wasn't able to come more often.
But I still think of you constantly.
I think I said this:
8 years is long if you think it's long, it's short if you think it's short... 9 years of time is... etc.
But the 10 years do feel different.
It's something that is firm that no one can ignore, so you can understand and share more.
Yes, it's that sort of feeling.
I'm happy.
So I want to work more diligently to maintain this sort of relationship.
I've told you ARMYs a few times already,
It's not easy to support and love someone and give them strength for no particular reason.
That is why I am able to understand how happy we are.
You, who made us feel this way, should feel overflowing happiness and receive love.
You must.
Understand?
ARMY, whon I am always thankful to and love,
Let's be happy for a long long time.

Happy 10th anniversary to BTS!
