This one ripped my heart out. To know that our leader is and has been in so much pain for so long, itβs maddening. I was so worried about him before the military. He kept dropping so many hints in his letters and his weverse lives and song lyrics etc and now heβs confirming everything. Dude, he said (at the time he wrote the song) now heβs 29, sinking in the bathtub drinking gin looking for another club. He made it past the 27 club and now heβs searching for another club. Do you hear this man? Iβm hoping that search is for a happy and fulfilled club. We have to show our 7 so much love. And we need to back the frick off and let them be, readjust, relax, get their minds, bodies and spirits right so that they can come back to us healthy and strong. I am OG ARMY since 2014 and I will wait for them as long as it takes. It took me nearly 12 years to move to S Korea and Iβm finally here. Going to retire in this place. We need to respect and support and love them. They donβt ask for anything and they give us everything. APOBANGO!!!!

I love your videos, Ben. Thank you for being real and being a real ARMY. π
Agreed with everyone below, I don't want to repeat what they already said.

I have found that often the "adults" who you are supposed to turn to in times of trouble, are the very ones who disappoint you the most. My aim in life was to never be one of those Adults.

Ben, if you rewatch the mv, look for the crossed out lyrics....crossed out "Icarus" refers to an Epik High song, crossed out "blood, sweat, and tears" is a BTS song, crossed out "forever" is a reference to RM's solo song Forever Rain. I think the image on the card is a reference to Icarus also. The imagery in this vid is insane ---- Just that small inner child falling, trying to gain his wings and fly, but every time he gets his wings they disintegrate, just like Icarus' wings did. People are worried about RM, especially after his live the other nite, but we have to realize, these guys are at a point in their lives when these things typically can't be repressed anymore and start coming out (I can say that cuz I'm 65). They have been through a LOT of mental gymnastics the past few years, and have finally had time "alone" to be able to think about this kind of stuff. It's all okay. They have the BEST support systems in place, and they all understand what's happening to them. Let's all just be very VERY grateful that these men haven't come out of this with worse trauma than they have. Let them live as they wish, and stop telling them stupid stuff like "don't vape" or "don't drink". Be happy that's all they're doing.

Tablo's pain stems from his parents, I feel like RM's pain stems from himself. Ben I REALLY recommend you watch this episode of epikase (Epik High 's YT show) to feel better, I needed to watch it https://youtu.be/-raB7xpA9hE?si=x29IzYxM7-C7R8sa
