"I'll be back soon" - A story between V and Kim Taehyung that you've never seen before
trans cr @Romantic_Tae @naver_taehyung
Here, at the Maison Cheongdam La Résidence of Cartier, where we have gathered to film V's live clip. [A word about your thoughts on your first solo album] I thought it would be great for people who like music to really enjoy it, and it was a very satisfying activity. [Is there a reason to release one song each?] I think every single song has part of my story in them, Because I wanted you to listen to each songs individually, rather than looking at the songs as group, I didn’t release them all at once. [Abt the song FRI(END)S] I originally thought about including Friends on the 'Layover' album, but I thought it would be better to release this song separately. It's a song that I've been working on for about 2 years So it turns out that this song was finally released like this and it’s a song that contains lots of memories. Since you can listen to this song with close friends or close hyungs, I definitely wanted to release this song someday and it turned out to be now. [Favorite Lyrics] But once it crosses the line, there's an eye. You and I can never turn around It's the second verse part, and it's not the vocalization I usually sing, but I think I directed it to change the style a little bit by changing the tone a little bit. So I liked that part because it was novel. ['FRIENDS' letters question. 'F' for FIRST : What comes to mind when you hear the word First?] When we first performed. Just a showcase? We debuted at the showcase. There must have been less than 100 fans. At that time, there was no official name, ARMY, & honestly, I wish I could go back to that time. I think it was the most nervous day. ['R' for RE : What moment do you want to go back to?] The moment I want to go back to was when I was little, the 1st year of middle school. At that time, I really didn't listen. I also want to live as Chun-bang-ji-chook, mischievous boy one more time. ['I' for IDENTITY : What is the difference between V and Kim Taehyung?] I think the basic tendencies are the same. Because both have similar wishes and pursuits and have similar perspectives, I think V is my character. I think it would be good if you think of V as a character that Kim Taehyung created a persona for. It's not like I'm eating as V. I live as V on stage, but in fact, when I come off stage, I am Kim Taehyung. ['E' for EGO : The most solid part of the inner self] Pride. I think I always live with pride in my work and the stage where our team performs with our fans. I think I'm loving the things I'm doing just as I love myself a lot. ['N' for NEED: What you need most now] hours. I think 24 hours a day is too short. The day when I work is all about work. I think that playing time is short. I think resting and sleeping are short-lived. I sometimes wonder what it would have been like if there were longer hours in a day. ['D' for DRAMA : If your life were made into a drama, what genre would it be?] I think I'll go with a black comedy. ['S' for SPECIAL: What you want to say to someone special] We're a little apart now, but until we get together again, let's be healthy, happy, and build some basic physical strength so that we don't gasp at the concert. I'm worried about myself the most, so I'll try my best.
