BTS' Jungkook shared that he has been enduring tough times in his handwritten letter

BTS' Jungkook penned down that it had been a long time since he had written a letter. He further pondered that his handwriting had gotten worse. He stated that he was doing well and further shared he was enduring tough times. The idol assured fans he has been enduring every harsh thing, thinking about the day he would meet fans again. Jungkook stated, as translated by X user @gol3naotc:

"Hello, it's jungkook. I'm writing a handwritten letter in such a long time and I think my handwriting got worse. Sorry. Guys!! I'm doing well. Of course, there are tough times, but I'm enduring it thinking about the day I meet you all again. And sometimes there are fun times that make me forget that it's tough."

He further asked fans whether they listened to his latest fan song, Never Let Go, and wished his sincere feelings were delivered to them. Jungkook also regretfully informed fans that he wanted to perform the song, but due to time constraints, he could not do so.

However, if he could get a chance in the future, the idol would show a performance on Never Let Go, even though nothing has been decided yet. He expressed his desire to listen to ARMY's cheers. He stated, as translated by X user @gol3naotc:

"By the way did you listen to the fan song Never Let Go released in June? Even when I first worked on the song I wanted to make it a fan song. I hope my heart/mind got delivered well. I initially wanted to show it with a performance, but I really had no time so I very very unfortunately couldn’t make it happen. If I get the chance I really want to show it to you ㅎㅎ (nothing is prepared yet). But I really want to perform. I want to hear armys’ cheers quickly. I want to do cool songs again."

Jungkook elaborated on how winter and summer seasons had not arrived and kept thinking about ARMYs and how he would stand in front of them one day. He also asked them to look after their health and not to get sick. He expressed his longing and admiration for the fandom and concluded the letter, as translated by X user @gol3naotc:

"Those cold winter & hot summer seasons aren’t even here yet but I’m thinking that I want those seasons to come faster. Time really doesn’t flyyyyy ㅠㅠ. I guess the thought that I miss you guys is too big. If I enjoy it, one day I’ll be standing in front of you guys right? Aja Aja! anyways guys. Don’t be sick and and take care of your health until the day we meet you again! Then, we will be more happy when we meet?! I miss you so much. I love you so much! But I’m so bad at writing lettersㅋㅋThen I’ll get going!! Bye!"
