I could still remember the life that I chose 30 years ago. I could still remember the memories I left and the moments that needs to be cherished forever. Everything has a value to me. Those were the memories that I couldn't and shouldn't forget. Those memories contain the happiest moments of my life.

Decades have passed, I could still recognize all the details and all the pieces of the puzzle we assembled. We started from the bottom until we reached the highest peak of success, together. The puzzle slowly became recognisable and understandable. I don't want to finish the puzzle yet. Until a moment came, the puzzle was completed already. While we were putting the last piece of that puzzle together, it makes us not want to complete it. It made us to look back at our starting point. We even thought of going back again and reassemble the puzzle, but we couldn't. And by that time, we realized that the time was our greatest enemy. The fear of ending everything was in our minds, thoughts and hearts. I could still feel the pain that it caused me 30 years ago.

June 13, 2013. That was our starting point, we carefully put each puzzle pieces together. Our bases weren't that strong at that time yet. The day they debuted, was the day I learned the struggles of life. They came from a small company but they didn't considered it as a hindrance for them to not continue and look forward for the better, instead they strived and worked harder. We dreamt together. I could still remember how funny they've looked like at their first music video. They were so young that time, but I was younger than them. I could still remember those gold chains, sunglasses, hairstyles, sleeveless clothes, shorts. I could still remember their first stage performance, they were so nervous that time. They didn't believed at their selves, but they made it. I have witnessed them until the end of the promotion of their first album. It hurts when someone underestimate them, it pains me when someone says painful words to them. It wasn't easy for them and for us.

July 9, 2013. We finally got our name! ARMY. That was the most precious thing I could name myself. I am an ARMY. I could remember what it stands for, 'Adorable Representative M.C for Youth'.

It was a great journey. I remembered wiping my tears when they recieved their very first award. "New Artist of the Year". We were so happy that time. You continued to make music and amaze your fans. The feeling was very overwhelming and that feeling of loyalness was the best feeling I have experienced. As times pass by, our family became bigger and bigger.
