May 21st, 2017:
Our first interview was with Good Morning America and it took a few seconds to fit us all within the frame of the camera.
"Well, welcome to America," the interviewer said smiling their plastered smiles.
"Thank you," I say, bowing my head slightly.
"You guys haven't done this before, right? You haven't been to Billboard before?" he asked.
"No, this is our first time," I nod, "we're very excited".
"Yes, right guys?" Namjoon said looking at the boys intently which made them all cheer excitedly on cue.
"Ok, so how's the heat treating you so far?" he asked moving on quickly, "it's so hot out here".
"Yeah, it's hot," Namjoon exclaims.
"So hot," Taehyung backs him up.
"I'm sorry for all the people in suits right now," I chuckle.
"But thanks to this... this... what is it," Namjoon says, looking for the English word.
"The tent covering is definitely helping the guys," I step in to help him.
"Now, I've been learning a lot about you guys," the interviewer chuckles, "and I heard you guys are just social media monsters if you will. How do you do that? Cuz your social media following is just unbelievable".
Namjoon gives the tried and tested answer about how we've been using it since before our debut and that fans just really understand it and us so it just seems to work seamlessly for us.
"So, for American audiences, this is Good Morning America, the number one morning show in the US!" he says proudly, "tell the US something about you all, something that they don't know that they need to know".
Once again, Namjoon spoke before me and gave a basic rundown of the group and the tour we were on.
"If you give our music a chance, you won't regret it," I add, "I recommend you translate it, there's a lot more meaning behind it than you might initially think, or better yet listen to it with a Korean, they'll be able to give you even more context".
"Great... how old are you guys?" he asks, looking like this was a genuine question.
"19," Jungkook says in Korean after I had translated the question.
"He's 19," Namjoon points to Jungkook, "she is too actually".
