In the first episode, the global pop superstars share the songs they have deep personal connections with, one of them being 'No More Dream'.
"The reason I chose [to play] ‘No More Dream’ is because it is our debut song, and looking back now, it is the type of song that we could only have done back then," SUGA says. Jimin adds, "I think it is the first song where we really express our emotions and message clearly."
SUGA also talks about 'Intro: The Most Beautiful Moment in Life'. He shares, "I remember working on this song and exactly how much I struggled with it. Thinking about it brings tears to my eyes right now. Just so many memories with this song."
'Epilogue: Young Forever' is given the spotlight on the first episode, too. Jimin says, "This song means a lot to me because I listened to it a lot when I was going through a hard time, and it helped me get through it. It’s also one of the most beautiful songs ARMY has sung for us."
'I Need U' gets a special mention by Jungkook, saying how the track is special to the group in many ways. He explains, "The Most Beautiful Moment in Life is just a great album, and ‘I Need U’ got us our very first #1 win on a Korean music show. I think back then was when we first got the feeling that we were finally being noticed, finally about to make it.”
