This is a special album that closes the first chapter of BTS, which marks its ninth anniversary this year. We cared for the lyrics the most as our message for fans who have been with us for the past nine years is central.

We made this album by paying attention to everything just like we have done so far, so it is an album that shows the time (we have spent together) and our current emotions well.
