The news of BTS invited for the BBMA spread like wildfire in the Korean Entertainment Industry. That night of departure, there were hundreds of media waiting at the airport to capture a glimpse of the Bangtan Boys' departure to Las Vegas.

RM: Please ARMYs, remember what we said. LOVE MYSELF, LOVE YOURSELF. Really love you and Thank You. We will become a better Bangtanseonyeodan.

While BTS is flying back from Las Vegas to Korea. The very same day, I am making my departure to Washington. Mom, Dad and Y/S came to the airport to send me off. This is the first time I see Dad shedding tears. He repeats for the 8th time to ask me to take care of myself and eat my meals on time.

🦉Jihye: I promise I will try to come back to visit during Chuseok and New Year. Don't worry about me. Two years is a quick one.

Yewon Unnie also came down to bid goodbye. Yewon promised me to update me with all the Bangtan news. She has recently created a Youtube channel specifically on BTS merchandise Unboxing.

We couldn't see each other off the flight due to our schedule. But Yoongi sent me a text message from Las Vegas yesterday. I'm reading it on the flight.

I remember clearly the day when the girl in cafe uniform running towards Bangtan's first fan meeting. The girl who said wrote in the letter "I can handle it cause you're supporting me". The girl who believes that Bangtan will perform in the KSOP Stadium. The girl in tears visiting me in the hospital ward. The girl looking back at me at the back of the concert hall. The girl who was there for my every happy and sad moment in life. You are my 화양연화(The Most Beautiful Moments in Life).

You taught me how to LOVE myself. I will become a better Min Yoongi the next time you see me.

Min Yoongi

Along with the text messages, are the few photos we took together during the years. My tears roll down uncontrollably. We know this is not a forever goodbye. We will become a better Kim Jihye and better Min Yoongi when we meet again.
