Here's @/SaraBangtan07's translation of Namjoon's letter from the other place. So thankful to all of our amazing Army translators! I love reading everyone's interpretations of his beautiful, poetic words 💜💜💜

@SaraBangtan07 on twitter, translation of Namjoon's Weverse letter on June 13, 2026. part 1:

How I hear this

Hello
On this good day I'm writing a letter for the first time in a while l've never really liked the phrase
'someone saves someone else'
and I can't say I've ever believed in it all that much
But undeserving as l am
I've somehow lived hearing those words from time to time
and I find myself looking back wondering whether I too haven't been saved by you.

I'm trying to live more simply than before, more plainly
or perhaps more boldly
There are far fewer moments now when I fall into sentiment
Still the world remains sad
No matter how many joyful days there are

*in a separate tweet, Sara wrote:
*The “pebble” in this letter may be tied to his BE album letter where he wrote that he wanted to become ARMY’s pebble—something small or humble that may still reach someone

@SaraBangtan07 on twitter, translation of Namjoon's Weverse letter on June 13, 2026. part 2:

I suppose that can't be helped.
Or perhaps in truth
it may be because I'm too happy

l've handed over so many words and thrown out so many sounds
I don't really know which melody, which pebble*
has reached those of you here now But I think I'll keep being someone who sends & throws them out like that 13 years ago & from now on too.
So long as there are those of you who listen.

Making memories together
and growing one year older with you year by year
makes me very happy.
And I like that there is still someone
I can cry out to
Again & again I see myself through you
Do you too?
Thank you once again
for being with me on this precious anniversary
Today is Saturday, the 13th

@SaraBangtan07 on twitter, translation of Namjoon's Weverse letter on June 13, 2026. part 3:

A truly good day
Even if someone asks what meaning that could possibly have
I want to keep piling up in one corner of my heart
the memories only we know and the days we have to celebrate Please continue to look kindly on me
I love you

#HappyBirthday
