Here is the letter he wrote to accompany the beautiful song
Hello, this is Jin.
“Not long ago, during a press conference, I said this “I don’t want to share my sad feelings with my fans. Because I want to show only good things. But if it’s music, the story is different. I don’t want to share it with my actions, but I think it would be okay to show it as music. In fact, there has been a big burnout recently, but I think it was because I had a lot of thoughts about myself. I ranked #1 in the Billboard Hot 100 and received congratulations from many people. Can I receive this? In fact, there are a lot of people who love music more and do better than me, but is it okay for me to receive this joy and celebration?”
“As I went deeper, it felt like I wanted to put it all down because it was hard. After receiving counseling about this, I talked to Bang Pidi-nim, and he said, “Would you like to write this feeling in a song?” What if I don’t have confidence to make it well and the result is not good, I have already come to a position where I shouldn’t. That doesn’t matter to Bang Pidi. But if you do, you will surely do well, and he said he will find the right person for you. That’s how I met the composer, Gye Beom-juhyeong, and now I talked about my feelings and many things. He was a bright and positive person. My brother said he wanted to help me, and he brightened me up again with the positive power of saying,’ Let’s write about a lot of anxieties~ If it doesn’t work, you can try again.‘”
“After talking so many things, I made my feelings into a track on the spot as it is, and I wrote the stories I wanted to do with this, and Abyss was completed. I want to say thank you again to Gye Beom-ju. It’s a bit depressing song that doesn’t fit on your birthday, but I think it’ll be ambiguous unless it’s birthday, so Abyss was released.
Army, please listen carefully even if you are lacking. ps.
Thank you, our leader, for writing the chorus lyrics.”
