Jungkook explained how he believes artworks and music are very similar, especially when it’s made with the public and fans in mind.

I felt a similarity between how the artist said he creates his projects with the public and how we also create and perfect our music by conversing with the fans and performing in front of them.

Suga expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to spread positivity all throughout the world through all channels of art form.

Through music, we’re able to converse without borders. And I believed it to be not that different from artworks. I’m grateful that we can have such a positive influence through art.
