BTS talked to Entertainment Tonight's Denny Directo over Zoom, opening up about their year so far. "You know, 2020 has been truly a rough year for many and there were many surprises changes," RM told Directo. "To be honest, we thought we needed a break from that, so we focused on what we can do the best and that was music and performance." Jimin then opened up about how much BTS' fanbase has impacted them.
"I want to say, ARMY really is our inspiration. Things are tough for everybody, and everybody's really going through a hard time," he said. "But I think for ARMY to have this energy and show this drive, it really inspires us. It inspires us to make our music and it comes out through our music. So again, we want to thank ARMY. Thank you, ARMY, for being our inspiration."
