Such a beautiful song
Abyss is one of those Jin songs that has a special place in my heart. The emotions he exudes in his voice is so heartwarming, I just can’t get enough of this song. I still remember listening to it for the first time 5 years ago. 🥹💜
(It’s crazy to me that it’s been 5 years already?!)
Edit: typo
This song has been such a comfort to me during dark times. His soul is so beautiful.
My favourite Jin song and one of my favourite Bangtan songs. I feel so blessed to have heard it live this year 🥹
His message regarding the release is so “Seokjinnie”-like. Oh, dear, I love this person so much.
“To tell you the truth, I was severely burnt out recently, and I think it was because I had many thoughts regarding myself.
I received congratulations from many people regarding the 1st place on Billboard’s Hot 100 Chart, but I wondered whether I deserved to receive such things…
It’s a sort of depressing song that doesn’t befit a birthday, but I thought it would be more awkward to release it on a day that wasn’t my birthday, so I have indeed released ‘Abyss’.
ARMYs, even if its lacking, please listen to it well.
ps. Thank you to our leader-nim who wrote the lyrics for the chorus.”
