SEOUL, Apr. 10 (Yonhap) -- Group BTS express their position that they will make more efforts from now on, although it is regrettable that they fail to cross the threshold of winning the Grammy 2 years in a row.

In the interview with reporters at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on the 9th (GMT), BTS member Jimin says, "We really wanted to win the award, which makes this failure so sad."

Jimin confesses, "It is true that we tried harder for a year, after we failed winning the award last year", adding "as Koreans, we wondered how far our music could reach, and thought that we could respond to our fan's love if we win the award."

V says that "We admit this result", adding "but tears came out."

J-HOPE thinks back, "Even though we could amit the result when another artist's name was called, it was hard to erase the thougt that 'we wanted to win this award'. We felt a great reget."

Jin, the eldest member, braces himself saying, "We will continue doing our best because this is not the only opportunity, but we can challenge at any time."

On this day, BTS members visited briefing room and met with Korean reporters less than an hour before the start of the second performance of 'BTS Permission To Dance on Stage - LAS VEGAS.'

Regarding his first feeling of performing in Las Vegas, SUGA says, "It is a new experience for us to enjoy diverse cultural contents as well as our performances thanks to MGM Resorts", adding "We are glad to be here."

He also mentions that "This is the city where we would like to come again in the future."

To reporters, SUGA emphasizes that "In fact, I thought it would be nice to see reporters after the Grammy, but we came to Las Vegas to perform, so it is just an honor to see you like this," adding, "We'll do our best."

RM says with a laugh, "I think symbolic emotions of the city of Las Vegas, which are exciting, playing, forgetting, and throwing away, give thrill like an amusement park," adding, "The audience's 'tension' was very high during the performance."

In terms of their new album, he says, "We are working on our song," but avoid commenting on the schedule.

Meanwhile, regarding the entrustment of military service to the company, Jin only replies, "I talked a lot with the company about military service and concluded that I would it entrust it to the company as much as possible. I think what the company says is my story."

At an earlier press conference, HIVE urged the National Assembly to deal with the military issue as soon as possible, saying, "The artist (BTS) is currently entrusting the issue related to military service to the company and is closely watching the process of revision of the Military Service Act."
