Speaking to the press, Jungkook admitted he felt strange being back in front of cameras. He said, “It’s been so long since I’ve been in front of the camera, I’m embarrassed. Seniors, juniors, and executives who have worked harder than anyone else, thank you for working hard for us. I’m so grateful to them for taking such good care of us.”

Park Jimin spoke about how difficult the military was. He shared, “We suffered together, learned a lot, ate together, and slept outside together. I will hold these memories in my heart and cherish them for a long time.” 

He also thanked fans who stood by them through COVID and their service. Jimin added, “Since I was discharged today, I think we can continue to draw the picture we were drawing from now on.”

He added a message of support for soldiers everywhere. “If you see soldiers on the street, I think they would be grateful if you could give them a warm hug, even if it’s just briefly.”
