WE WILL ALWAYS WAIT FOR YOONGI BECAUSE WE KNOW..
They say people who have it the hardest give the most comforting words. Life is not fair and will never be. It gives some and takes from many. Before debuting Yoongi had to face loneliness, a non-supportive surrounding and poverty. He moved to Seoul with a big dream and small non-existent resources. He had to work to get food on his table, go to school and train in BigHit. You can google Yoongi in early years and you will see how thin he was.
It was hard for him but it got even harder as he got into a dangerous car accident but he told everyone including the members of BTS that he just fell down the stairs. Why? Because he was afraid BigHit would not debut him if they found out he damaged his shoulder. And this same accident will affect him for over seven years. (He talked about it openly for the first time HERE)
Today (201106) His company announced that he has underdone surgery on November 3rd 2020 and that he needs to take a break from work and promotions (Full announcement HERE).
Imagine not even being able to lift your hand at times but then practice & perform for hours and dance to BTS’ extreme choreos and follow an extreme schedule that allows you no time to rest. The boys are workaholics and even when given a vacation would still find a way to go find their way back into the studio. Now, we are talking about Yoongi. This man breathes and lives through music. The man who makes 200 to 300 song a year. This year alone he participated like usual into making BTS’ albums and even produced songs to many artists or featured in songs. He also released a whole mixtape.
All the members of BTS hold huge pride about their job. They are very dedicated to offer the best and continuously work hard for their fans. Yoongi had to push this surgery for YEARS and try everything from painkillers, to medicine and Physical therapy, before he reached his limit now. Yoongi didn’t just suffer physically but battled many mental illnesses. Life was something that was summed up in one word: Tough.
Yoongi was hurt by many but he always tried to heal rather than harm. Yoongi was hated by many, but he never forgot about how to love back the ones who cared. Yoongi was judged by many, but he always gave every human a chance. This man is kind and wise beyond what words can describe.
Yes, he had wealth and fame now but he paid the cost high. He recently talked to Jin and questioned if working so hard and going through so much was even worth it? To which Seokjin assured and advised him that he achieved beautiful things even while being given loathed things “You (Yoongi) have gone above and beyond.”
Why am I talking about all this? It’s not to gather pity of dramatize the situation. It’s to explain one of the many reasons this man is wildly respected and loved. He is someone that outsiders might describe as cold or scary, but he is a warm soul. He never gave up and that takes plenty of strength. Whoever has physical or mental health issues will tell you how hard it is to even do basic tasks at times but this man is an inspiration who was out there influencing the world positively and running non-stop.
Yoongi like you always rooted for us this time each of us will tell you: “I am rooting for you.”
We will wait and pray for your fast and complete recovery. Just know that we will never blame or forget you. It might look like only six members will be present during this upcoming comeback but in our eyes and hearts, BTS are seven. We will miss you but we wish you the best and if the best means for us not to see you for a moment we can hide our tears and show you reassuring smiles and open arms ready to welcome you back anytime. We will try our hardest to not cry tears of pain as they will make you blame yourself. Only tears of joy would be accepted when you are back happier and healthier than ever our dearest Yoongi.
