The broadcast, a living testament to the unusual content of the dinner, which aired on June 13th was meaningful, solely and completely dedicated to ARMYs who supported us for the past nine years. Of course non-ARMYs thought the members and I too dramatic, ungrateful. But we and ARMY shared everything in a decade without stopping. What we have is very special, without a doubt, "he continued.

"What I want to clarify right now is that we don't want to beat around the bush about anything. There were no implied words in the broadcast, we were really open and honest about our feelings to the point of shedding tears. I never had any doubts that ARMY, who know who we really are, will understand all gracefully. We mean what we say in the broadcast as it is, without any other message, "he added.
