For anyone learning Korean, here's a quick breakdown of his letter (as a korean learner myself):
sentence one: finally, my insta's unlocked (cry cry)
- 드디어 finally
- 인스타 insta(gram)
- 열리다 + ~았/었어요 (polite past tense form); to be opened; to be unlocked
- ㅜㅜ korean texting slang for crying
sentence two: I changed my password a full eight times (surprise)
- 비번 password, contraction of 비밀번호 (비밀 secret 번호 number)
- ~만 only (used for emphasis here)
- [#]번 [number] of times
- 바뀌다 to change + ~았/었 (past marker) + ~네(요) speaker's surprise observation
sentence three: anyway, I've been kinda meaning to start fresh, so I went and wiped everything clean.
- 암튼 anyway (contraction of 아무튼)
- 좀 (contraction of 조금) a little
- 첨 (contraction of 처음) first/beginning + 부터 from (usually in relation to time)
- 새 new + ~(으)로 by means of; using
- 하다 to do + ~아/어 보다 to try [verb]
- ~려고 to intend to do [verb]
- 싹 entirely, completely
- 한번 'once'… however, Koreans often use '한번' to put more emphasis on speech, and it is usually added to the ~아/어보다 form to note that they're trying something out/giving something a chance
- 지우다 to erase; to wipe clean + ~아/어보다 to try to do [verb] + ~았/었 past tense marker + ~(스)ㅂ니다 deferential conjugation form (more humble/formal than the ~아/어요 form)
sentence four: ARMY, are you all having a good Christmas?
- 아미 ARMY + 여러분 everyone/plural group of people
- 크리스마스 christmas
- 잘 well
- 보내다 to send (though in contexts of holidays it usually means to have a good time) + ~고 계시다 present continuous (계시다 is the hon. ver of 있다 to have/remain) + ~ㄴ가/나(요) is it that case that [verb]…
sentence five: Eat a lot of tasty food and have a happy Christmas
- 맛나다 to be tasty + ~(으)ㄴ adjective form = 맛난 + 거 (contraction of 것) thing(s): so… tasty things (or food in this case)
- 많이 a lot/many
- 먹다 to eat
- ~고 clausal connective 'and' used for verbs and adjectives
- 행복하다 to be happy + ~(으)ㄴ adjective form = 행복한 happy
- 되다 this verb has so many meanings but in this case it's kind of like something is well/happy + ~시 honorific verb attachment + ~아/어요 polite present tense
You guys can leave holiday messages for BTS on Weverse like:
- 크리스마스 잘 보내세요! Merry Christmas!
- 좋은 크리스마스 보내시기를 바랍니다! I hope you have a good Christmas!
- 새해 복 많이 받으세요 Happy New Year!
- 크리스마스와 새해를 즐겁게 보내시길 바랍니다! I hope you have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
if there's any mistakes or if you have any questions, let me know (i'm still learning too!)



Thanks so much for doing this! I’m still at a pretty basic level of Korean and it’s so helpful to see sentences broken down like this.
Sad he got rid of his old posts.
Thank you for this! I’m thinking of learning Korean because it’s very interesting and seeing it broken down like this helps a lot!
