He listened to the songs in his album with his fans and gave his thoughts as a creator. In particular, he also mentioned the difficulties in making this album.
Jungkook started by saying: "I normally record pretty quickly but this was a difficult song and there were a lot of choruses so I think it took about 4 hours". However, he still believes that the album has been released well: " I think the album came out well. Someone might thing that I put out a lot of albums but actually the team did release a lot of albums. I worked on it as much as I could. I think the album came out well."
But he also added that the time to release the album was not too long, so he had to speed up many times to quickly complete it. Jungkook even felt almost exhausted after continuously recording with such high frequency. He expressed: "I almost ďïệd while recording for this song! It was sooo tiring...Preparing for the album, the time was really short so there wasn't much time! In a week, I think I recorded like 4 or 5 songs.. 5 songs seems too much so I'll say 4!"
Well, recording so many songs at the same time is really a very heavy job, both physically and mentally. Surely he must have been very hard-working and enthusiastic to be able to do them so well, despite the limited time.
