j-hope's Weverse Post - 6/22

Commentary by me in green

여운이 가시질 않네요ㅎㅎ
I can’t shake the lingering feels haha

여운 is a really interesting word that covers a lot of ground. I can’t quite translate it in one word adequately but these examples may help to convey its fullness.
The book was more than just a story - it left a deep lasting impression
Even after the song ended - I sat in a daze enjoying its afterglow
It’s been days since the concert, but I still can’t shake the feeling/vibes of being there
It has to do with a lasting impression, sometimes visual in recall, sometimes more vibes than a literal scene

그동안의 수많은 과정들로 인한 여운도 있을 것이고,
There’s def some of the lingering feels* (see above note) from everything we’ve been through up to this point
여러분들이 표현해 주신 부분 그 이상으로 울림이 있는 거일 수도 있겠죠!
And maybe it’s because everything you [all] expressed has resonated with me even beyond just that

모든 아티스트 분들이 똑같이 애정을 가지고 준비하겠지만, 그러게요.. ㅎ
I’m sure all artists all prepare [their work/performances/etc] with that same kind of precious regard/affection, but yea haha
저는 그 이상으로, 좀 더 심취했었나 봅니다. 하하하하!!!!
Maybe I was even just a bit more steeped into it [his work] than that. hahaha

누가 보고, 누가 듣고, 누가 관심과 사랑을 주는 것이며, 하물며 누가 소비를 하고, 시간을 할애해 주시냐를
늘 생각했을 때,
Someone watches, someone listens, someone gives their interest and love… further - some spend their money and time… when I think about these things…

결국 중심은 아미 여러분들이었습니다! 그쵸.. 물론 당연한 거죠!!
ARMY is always at the center/core/focus! Like OF COURSE it was!

근데 ‘당연하다’고 해서 당연하게 행동하는 게 가장 주의해야 할 부분이라 생각했습니다.
But as much as it’s obviously and ALWAYS been ARMY, I am careful not to take it for granted

그만큼 일정 하나하나를 가볍게 생각하지 않았고, 소중하게 여기며 임했다는 거겠죠? ㅎㅎ
I suppose this is why I didn’t take any part of my scheduled commitments lightly - but I really regarded each [scheduled event/work] preciously with a lot of care
어느 한 부분도 놓치지 않으려 노력했구요. 고심하며 행동했습니다.
I really worked hard not to miss any details. I did everything thoughtfully and intentionally.
그렇게 8개월이 흘렀네요!!!
And just like that 8 months have gone by/passed!!!

정말 많이 배웠고, 많이 느꼈고,
I learned so much, I felt so much,
그 토대로 앞으로의 발걸음을 이제는 좀 더 신중하게 생각하고 접근해 봐야 하지 않을까 싶습니다.
and as a result - I know how to, better and more thoughtfully, plan my next steps with care

길다면 길 것이고, 충분한 시간을 가지며 연구를 좀 해보겠습니다.
It could be a long process but I’m going to give myself time to thoroughly research/figure out [the next steps he just mentioned]

22년도 이후 솔로 활동으로 부딪혀 보며 아파도 보고, 스스로 치유도 해보고,
Since my solo activities starting 2022, I’ve been through a lot - got sick/hurt, learned how to heal myself,
큰 성취감도 느끼며 자신감도 생겼고, 나에 대한 그리고 사랑하는 팬분들에 대한 믿음도 생겼습니다.
I grew in my self-confidence through the deep sense of accomplishment I’ve gained [since 22], I’ve also grown to trust not only in myself more - but also in my beloved fans

굳건해진 듯해요! 덕분입니다. 정말!!!!
I feel more grounded and it’s truly all thanks to you! Forreeall!!!!!

남은 롤라팔루자 일정도 22년도의 시카고를 기억하며, 한 번 뜨겁게 불을 지펴보겠습니다.
With the remaining Lollapalooza performance, I will remember/channel the times from ‘22 Chicago, and try to set this ablaze once more.
시간이 괜히 흘렀을까요~ 노련해진 모습 보여드릴게요!!
Time hasn’t passed for nothing~ I will show you a more seasoned version of myself!!

다시 한번 더, 활동 지켜봐 주시고 사랑해 주셔서 감사합니다!!!!!!!!
Once again, thank you so much for expressing so much care for/watching over my activities and showing me so much love!!!!

Love u all💜

PS.
j-hope (& BTS) are so effectively inspirational - as in, for ARMY, it doesn't just END with the sensation of feeling inspired, but COMPELS us to think, act, grow, TRY, recalibrate - because we've been able to witness them IN PURSUIT at so many stages
they KEEP AT IT - slow, fast, energized, exhausted, enthusiastic, numb, excited, anxious, eager, nervous - THEY. SHOW. UP
let this be a reminder, that thing you've been thinking of, START IT - just as you are💜
