“I was going to write a song, but I couldn’t. But I had a great time with you today through the broadcast,” he said. “Good night and sweet dreams!”

“Happy New Year! What’s your plan for the new year?” he asked. “I want to know your resolutions for 2017.”

His charm stood out as he added special effects filters to the video. He commented on his new song, “Always,” as many of his fans reported being saddened by the song.

“Since I am not going through a hard time anymore. I said my good-bye to 2016 by releasing the song,” Namjoon said.

He recommended his fans listen to the song when they are going through similar difficult times, since he thinks a song can be a great comfort at times.
