Jimin joined in to say, “we are connected closely enough to share sufferings as well as joy … If you have courage and the will to overcome any difficulties, the power of connectivity can help us overcome this difficult time”.
Jungkook also emphasized on the importance of trust and consolation. He said, “Now is the time that we need trust rather than anxieties, and consolation rather than rage.”
