Namjoon's pov

We have quite a lot of interviews today and even though we have done this for years now, I am still worried every time.

I love these men, but sometimes they are so chaotic that I just don't know what to do. I try to keep control over everything, especially during interviews, but they make it so hard sometimes.

Sejin warned me to keep translating for the group so we don't expose ourselves and our magical and sudden understanding of the questions. So I just keep translating. I had to translate the members' answers anyway because they might understand English now they still can't speak it. But for the interviews later today we have a translator so I don't have to overthink everything.

Days like today are my least favourite of our job. It's nice to know English but it takes a lot of effort to say the things we want. The sentence structure is so much different in Korean than in English that it takes time to process. And when you want to answer correctly and quickly it takes a lot of concentration.

We started the day with an interview on the Today Show. It was so cold outside! And to see all the armies that have stayed out in the cold for so long just to see us... It's hard to imagine the feeling of love and appreciation that I have for their dedication to us. It always humbles me and makes me feel like I don't deserve it. I'm just a small Korean boy who likes to make music...

Why do they always force me to talk?! WHY JUST ME?! Especially now that they can understand English! UGH!!

Then again, Tae practised for his question on the On MV drop and they didn't even ask the question. He is so sad, he practised so hard on that answer.

Almost immediately after this, we went inside for the radio interview with SiriusXM.

The next thing was the Audacy Music interview. I was feeling hot so I left my coat with my stylist, while the others either changed their jackets like J-hope and Jimin or just kept them on like Taehyung and Suga.
