Adding further, he wrote, "Everyone who watched the video will know and from the title Yet To Come, what we honestly wanted to say was that right now is not the end." Before signing off, RM concluded, "There were times where we fought and were upset with each other, we started our social activities early in our 10s-the 20s and we're going through trial and error as we are maturing as adults. Although I am afraid that this message can cause another fuss as I am the first one to discuss."

Meanwhile, during the celebratory feast, RM said. ''It made me think I’m happy just being together. I started music and became BTS because I had a message for the world," he added. He also talked about how the group changed since the pandemic and revealed that they have to accept the change.
