But I would rather hear from you. Yeah, yeah. Start with you, Jimin. What do you. What do you miss most about. Okay. I miss your 1% battery life. 1% no energy. No energy. No energy. Yeah.

Arirang. Arirang. Arirang. Arirang. Yeah. What is Arirang? It's a Korean like traditional song. So every Korean just know it. Like when they just get to know it when they grow up. Oh really? Yeah. It's just mouth to mouth. They just get to know it. And how did you all decide that this would be the title of the album. So I think it's the song that represents the Koreans the most. So it includes, like, lots of emotions in it. It could be joy. It could be sorrow, longings, sadness, like, whatever. Resistance. So there's a lot of emotions on here. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So we just hope that our new songs could be also universal, like the Arirang, which is the Korean traditional song. We just. Thank you. We just figured out that, you know, our roots is in Korea, you know, like, all in the military. And after all, it's like we have to, you know, come back to where we started from. Yeah, of course. Don't forget your roots. Never forget your roots. You actually lived together as roommates in Los Angeles while recording this album, just like you did when you first started music together. What was the best part about living together while making this album? Oh, okay. Eat together. Yeah, eat together. Just eating together. Because we actually lived together for like, six, seven years, but it. Six, seven. I know. Six, seven. They say that. What on earth is this? I don't know. What is this thing? Is it seven? What is this? I don't know how to. Don't. Don't worry about. Don't worry about 67. Worry about. I don't know how to describe it. I know. I know what it is. I know what it is, but it doesn't make. It doesn't. It doesn't have a definition. There's no explanation for six' seven. And I think you won't have to worry about it in a couple months. I think it's good. Be honest. Out of all of you, who was the messiest roommate? I think Jungkook. I can. Ugly. So I told you we spent two months together and he had the biggest room. Yeah. We all had our rooms and he had the biggest room. Yeah. And he had like two luggages, but it's open up on the floor for two months. Never unpacked. Yeah. So when we went to his room, we always have to luggage here and like, chocolate. Yeah, like that. Is there any city in particular that you're excited about playing? Oh, New Jersey. New Jersey. Oh, good. That's gonna be big. Yeah. Please come. You're coming, right? But you're the busiest person in the world. No. Are you kidding me? I will be there. I will be there tomorrow. Of course. That would be crazy. Thank you. Of course. I'll. I'll wear my slippers. Yeah, Absolutely. Yeah. Is this sold out? Oh, Dee Lee's MetLife Stadium in. Do you guys know where I can get one ticket? Of course, of course. Please Please. You've done so many iconic performances on our show, and I'm very thankful you've performed here in the studio. You performed in Grand Central Station. You remember that? That's my. That's our favorite. All of you guys are just amazing performers. More BTs. Stick around. Let's go. Welcome. We're back. I gotta move back. We're hanging out with BTS right now. By the way, I love you. Okay. One thing I love about army is that I would say that there's no real demographic. I mean, there's. You can be. I've seen outside. I've seen as young as 5 years old to 105 years old. I mean, they come from all over the world. I figured I'd ask you some questions. Here we go. We'll do five of these. This first one's from bowling 12. Said my friend likes BTS songs she's heard on the radio. She asked me for a list of other songs I'd recommend for someone who's just starting to get into bts.

Left here and right here. I can't have this. Okay. I can't have this debate again. I can't do this. I think he has two butts. That's unbelievable. True. I'm not even starting this debate. Left leg, right leg. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Okay. This one is from. This is funny. This one's funny. From Brooke Aaron. It says, has anyone been in the car with RM driving yet? Not yet. Not yet.

Like, everyone told me, like, do not drive for the world, for the peace, or you might get a car accident or something. So I was like, yeah, yeah. I was, like, told by, like, even my parents told the same thing. So now I got my license, but I think everyone doesn't want. Yeah. Want to get hopping? It's too scary. Yeah, maybe it's scary even for me myself. Really. I think you'll be good. I'll drive with you anytime. This one's from Jennifer Padden. If you could describe in one word how you feel about army, what would that word be? Love. Love. That's it. I take that. Love. That's perfect. One word. This last one's from Hannah Bangtani.
