BTS: Burn the Stage

I heard the director through the in-ear headphones.

He asked Jungkook to go on a respirator if it's too hard.

It looked like he was almost out of his mind.

Ever since, I couldn't focus on myself.

All I could think of was Jungkook.

Okay.

One and a half minutes left.

Jungkook, seriously. Slow down.

Is he okay?

If we don't have Jungkook, it's a lot of damage.

It's the same for every one of the seven members,

but Jungkook is our main vocalist.

And he's in an important position at the center of the acts.

He has a lot of parts.

There's no replacement for Jungkook.

Thank you!

I looked at Jungkook then

and he sat down with a thump, and I thought it was serious.

Are you okay?

Jungkook, do you want us to leave?

- It'll be better to take your pants off. - Yeah.

- Let's get out. - Okay.

I didn't know I'd collapse like that.

It's the first time that happened to me.

I was very flustered.

It was too hot, and he overworked himself.

I think that's why it happened.

It wasn't a mental problem.

So I felt relieved about that, but...

Jungkook! Jungkook, come here!

And I'm... We had just started.

And I'm in charge of speaking for the group.

So I was thinking, "We just started the show.

There's no replacement for Jungkook. What do I do?"

Seeing myself thinking that way made me feel pathetic.

Like, "What am I doing?"

He might not even be able to perform.

Take off his socks.

He said he's fine, but I think he should take them off.

- You're okay? - Don't.

No, don't.

Your socks are your pride?

Your socks are your pride, huh?

It's a little embarrassing, right? It's okay.

He looked like he recovered, so I felt relieved.

But since I have to speak for us,

it's very hard for me when these things happen.

Because I'm also a kid.

Thank you, everyone.

Can you keep up?

When did you start to feel dizzy?

Since when? A while ago?

Jungkook was such a professional today.

He was like this right before we went up to for "Wings," and then...

He came with me when I was rapping

and he even rapped with me.

I was feeling so down today.

We're going out for "Wings" when Suga...

He goes like this.

It was so funny that it made my day.

Yoongi made Jimin's day.

I felt more excited during the encore.

We won't be able to meet them for a very long time.

I wanted to be remembered in the best light possible.

I think that's why I worked so hard.

It's too short.

If you meet their eyes even once, you'll remember them.

That's a thrilling experience.

I tried to think about that

and tried very hard to look at each one of them.

When you give a concert, you know.

You know if you did a good job or not. You can feel it.

You can tell when you look at your fans' eyes from the stage.

Whether it was successful or not.

If you see them happy and enjoying it, then it was a successful show.

I think it's the same in any country.

It's a really thrilling experience.

Watching the audience from the stage

and watching us from the audience feels completely different.

I just sang looking at ARMY.

We made a lot of people happy in Chile.

I saw that, and I saw how they enjoyed it.

We did a good job though we could have done better.

But shows can never be perfect.

So I think we did a good job.

It's a long tour, and we get a lot of free time.

So I thought I could try different things.

I used to play the guitar,

but with the promotions, I couldn't get my lessons,

so I had taken a break from it.

I could sleep or play video games,

but I thought it'd be better to develop a new hobby.

I also thought I could learn Japanese,

and I brought a Japanese book,

but I haven't opened it yet.

I should.

Study hard.

What I can tell you for sure is that

when I don't sleep, I read books.

Like comic books, novels.

Recently, Jin and I bought a novel, and we started reading it together.

Once, I mindlessly spent seven hours on my phone.

If only I didn't need to sleep.

I always think that that would be awesome.

It'd be so much better if we could hang around and not feel tired.

I write music and make songs.

If you ask me when I get inspired and get ideas,

I don't know exactly what to say.

Because I take notes of what comes to my mind or things that I see.

And when I get stuck, I look at my notes.

What thought did I have?

A month ago, a year ago. Sometimes three or five years ago.

Oh, I thought about this then.

That's how I begin with my work.

I could get ambitious if I wanted to this year.

But I wanted to be more realistic.

I could release a mixtape as Suga or RM did.

I think that's my first goal.

And if the output is good enough,

I could release something very soon.

We all feel depressed and lonely at some point in our lives.

And the reason why I make music is, after all...

I'm also afraid of this world. I feel sad and lonely.

I want to relieve myself of it

and keep... Though there's no correct answer,

I'm happy while I'm trying to find my answer.

That's why I do what I do.

I hope people would feel comforted when they listen to my music.

Actually, I didn't rap.

I didn't rap when I was younger.

It's a genre I experienced through Suga and RM.

When I joined the team, we only had rappers.

The boys would rap in the house freestyle.

I couldn't just sit and watch.

So I joined them and tried freestyle rap.

The boys would react to it like, "Oh!"

I think I had fun working on it.

I always think that I stopped growing up mentally at age 15.

Because I became a trainee when I was 15.

I didn't go to school.

I've been working ever since.

The six guys were always around me.

So what I see, feel and learn

is mostly from the members. They're a huge influence.

I feel motivated when I see them.

And I think I grow a lot without even noticing it.

I used to be very introverted, but V helped me break out of it.

I couldn't even wash myself or take my clothes off in front of them.

The guys filled me in one by one

and I think maybe that's how I became what I am now.

I could be a manifestation

of all their characters coming together.

You're playing a game? They're shooting.

You did, too.

Oh, come on.

You played games, too.

I think the guys put my puzzle pieces together.

They put the scattered pieces of my puzzle together.

Yeah! Good job.

Yeah, red wine.

High five.

I'm sorry that Jungkook's not here.

Yeah. Me, too.

- There's always one missing. - Cheers, Jungkook.

To Jungkook.

We really need to do our best.

We have to do a good job in Brazil.

- I know. - Only two days in Brazil.

Have time to think about that.

I'm worried about Jungkook.

Suddenly?

I was worried. I was a little...

I was worried, too. You're not the only one.

Well, I got really worried.

Honestly, I even cried.

Did the camera capture it?

No, it didn't. I cried in the bathroom.

I saw it when we were performing "FIRE."

- That's when it was the most serious. - Something was wrong.

I asked him why he kept going.

And he said, "It's our last show in Chile."

Let's say another one collapses and this time it's during the first show.

It's our first show in Brazil.

People say that we should eat more.

But I go like, "I eat a lot."

We can't go on a starving diet anymore.

- I really can't anymore. - It's nonsense.

If we do that...

Remember that ice cream?

I can't forget how they stuffed it in my pocket.

- Did you accept it? - Man, when that happened...

I was walking and saw a black van behind me.

- No, it can't be. - No. No way.

They can't be from our agency.

And they shoved it in my pocket!

I got covered in ice cream.

- They asked what I'm doing. - Covered in ice cream...

I said, "I'm going home."

And then I ate it, remember?

Right, you did.
