Waktunya nggak lama lagi, Messi bakal ninggalin sepak bola.

Di MetLife Stadium, New Jersey, Messi jalan pelan menuju podium runner up. Bahunya sedikit membungkuk, matanya berkaca kaca saat medali perak digantung di lehernya.

Spanyol baru saja menang 1-0 lewat gol Ferran Torres di babak perpanjangan waktu. Argentina gagal pertahankan gelar. Tapi bagi jutaan orang yang nonton, malam itu bukan tentang kekalahan. Malam itu adalah tentang akhir sebuah era.

Messi berusia 39 tahun. Rambutnya sudah mulai memutih di pelipis, langkahnya nggak secepat dulu, tapi matanya masih sama. Penuh api, penuh cinta untuk sepakbola. Sepanjang turnamen cetak delapan gol, kasih assist krusial, dan bawa Argentina yang sempat terseok hingga final. Messi main kayak umur 29 tahun, bukan 39. Tapi usia nggak pernah bohong. Tubuhnya lelah, dan sepak bola tak lagi beri ruang untuk keajaiban selamanya.

Kita ingat Qatar 2022. Malam itu Messi mengangkat trofi yang selama 36 tahun tak pernah diraih Argentina. Air mata bahagia mengalir deras.
“Saya sudah lengkap,” katanya saat itu.

Tapi Tuhan memberinya satu babak lagi. Satu kesempatan terakhir untuk menari di panggung terbesar. "The Last Tango", begitu ia tulis di postingan sebelum final. Tango terakhir. Dan meski berakhir dengan nada sedih, tango itu tetap indah kok.

Bayangkan seorang anak kecil dari Rosario yang dulu menderita kekurangan hormon pertumbuhan, kini berdiri di final Piala Dunia untuk ketiga kalinya.

Lihat wajah para pemain Spanyol saat membuat guard of honour. Ada rasa hormat di mata mereka. Mereka tahu, mereka baru saja mengalahkan legenda hidup, panutan mereka sendiri.

Nggak lama lagi, Messi bakal ninggalin sepak bola. Mungkin beberapa bulan lagi di Inter Miami, mungkin satu atau dua pertandingan persahabatan terakhir dengan Argentina. Lalu lampu stadion akan padam untuknya. Nggak ada lagi momen ankara messi yang bikin bek lawan mati kutu. Nggak ada lagi senyuman malu malu saat ia mengangkat trofi.

Yang tersisa adalah warisan yang nggak bisa dihapus. Bukan hanya rekor gol, assist, atau Ballon d’Or. Tapi Messi ngajarin kita bahwa bakat saja tak cukup. Dibutuhkan hati yang besar, ketahanan yang luar biasa, dan cinta yang tak pernah pudar.

Untuk Leo, terima kasih. Terima kasih telah membuat jutaan anak di seluruh dunia percaya bahwa mimpi bisa diwujudkan meski berkekurangan dan tantangannya besar.

Kau bukan runner up malam ini, Leo. Kau adalah pemenang seumur hidup.

Sekarang, istirahat yang pantas. Dunia sepak bola akan terus berputar, tapi tak akan pernah sama lagi tanpamu.

Tus lágrimas son las nuestras, Capitán 👑🇦🇷

Nos diste las alegrías más grandes de nuestras vidas. Gracias por la entrega, por la magia y por dar la vida hasta el último segundo 🙌

¡Te amamos para siempre, Leo! 🩵🤍

Happy 26th birthday to the gorgeous, extremely talented chart-topping, record-breaking Singer, Dancer, Superstar and K-Pop Global Icon, the One & Only #HAECHAN! 👏��🥳🌎🌟👑💚
Haechan found fame as the Main Vocalist and lead dancer of the hugely popular groups NCT, NCT 127 & NCT Dream, 3 of the best-selling most successful Korean Bands of the Era! He's considered an "Ace" because he's a true all-rounder, excelling in singing, dancing and even showing solid sub-rapper skills! He's a standout vocalist, often called NCT's "fingerprint" or most recognizable voice, and is praised for his unique tone, high notes and emotional delivery. He is also a very powerful dancer with great live energy, shining through NCT's intricate choreographies! Haechan is frequently cited as one of NCT's top performers. His fancams often rack up massive views. His iconic stages include "PADO," "Whiplash," "Kick It," & "Boom!" Haechan has been key to NCT's massive success, but is also a hugely successful Solo Artist in his own right right. His debut studio album 'TASTE' (2025) powered by its incredible title track "CRZY," topped Korea's Circle Album and Hanteo charts, achieving platinum certification, and performed strongly internationally, hitting #1 on iTunes Top Albums in over 20 countries, confirming him as a compelling soloist beyond NCT!

It was Haechan's mother who greatly influenced his music taste, introducing him to songs like Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean"! Michael became one of Haechan's role models and was the main reason he became an idol. Shinee's Taemin was also a major influence, inspiring him to audition at SM Entertainment. The First album Haechan ever bought was Shinee's Romeo (2009)! At 13, encouraged by his mother, Haechan attended the SM Saturday Open Auditions (SM Weekly Audition), performing "Baby" by Justin Bieber, "Hello" by Huh Gak, and "Ugly Duckling" by Son Seung-yeon. He was noticed for his impressive vocal performance, especially the Justin Bieber cover which highlighted his unique tone, helping him pass the audition and join SM as a trainee that same year. He trained for about three years before being introduced as part of the SM Rookies pre-debut team in 2014 and eventually debuting with NCT. In 2014, Haechan appeared in Exo 90:2014, a reality TV series in which Exo recreated music videos and performed popular K-pop songs from the 1990s and early 2000s. In 2015, Haechan starred in the Korean revival of The Mickey Mouse Club on the Disney Channel Korea hosted by Super Junior's Leeteuk! Haechan officially debuted as a member of NCT's 2nd sub-unit, NCT 127 with their debut single, "Fire Truck", on July 7, 2015! In 2016, Haechan debuted with NCT's 3rd sub-unit, NCT Dream on the digital single "Chewing Gum" on August 25. On December 13, 2019, Haechan joined the sub-unit NCT U on their track "Coming Home" under the SM Station project. In 2021, Haechan released a remake of the 2006 SM Town's song "Snow Dream" for SM Town's album 2021 Winter SM Town: SMCU Express, and in 2023, Haechan and Taeil released "N.Y.C.T." under NCT U!

On September 8, 2025, Haechan made a huge solo debut with his first full-length album 'TASTE'. The 11-track R&B/soul project, went straight to #1 on Hanteo and the Circle Album Chart in Korea, and was certified platinum for over 400,000 sales units, powered by its title track "Crzy" which reached #11 on the Circle Digital Chart. 'TASTE' earned Haechan his first solo music show win and confirmed him as a distinctive soloist beyond NCT!

Haechan has appeared in numerous group endorsements over the years with PUMA, Lotte Duty Free, Nature Republic, Coca-Cola, Penshoppe, and others. In late 2025, following his solo debut with 'TASTE', he landed his first prominent individual beauty endorsement as the male muse/brand model for NAMING, a Korean cosmetics brand, starring in campaigns for products like their Layered Fit Cushion and Glow Heart Lip Tint. This marked his solo modeling debut and was well-received for perfectly matching his warm, radiant image.

Haechan is known for his consistent and meaningful charitable donations, often supporting disaster relief efforts through major Korean organizations. He has donated millions of won to disaster relief, including ₩100 million for the 2023 Türkiye-Syria earthquake, ₩50 million for the Maui wildfires, and another ₩50 million to the Community Chest of Korea for the wildfire victims in the Yeongnam region of S. Korea. He also supports SM’s UNICEF music education initiatives.

Haechan has come a very long way, now one of K-pop’s most beloved ACEs, topping charts as a Solo artist and consistently touching fans hearts with his generous charity work. With his signature honey voice, dazzling stage presence, and ever-bright “Full Sun” charm, Haechan continues to shine brighter than ever!
