jungeunโs plus chat message for the end of โset the tempoโ promotions oh my god i will CRYโฆ. ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญโน๏ธ๐
๐: First of all, during this promotion, naya wrote me so many letters and gave me so much strength that I wanted to write you all a letter tooโฆ hehe. We spent 8 long months preparing for this comeback, and during that time I really worked so, so hard. I kept thinking, โHow can I help naya not get tired of waiting during such a long hiatus? What should I show them to make them more excited? What would they like? Will they like this?โ Those thoughts were always on my mind while I was preparing.
To be honest, this comeback didnโt receive the kind of response that I had passionately hoped and prepared for, so I was really, really heartbroken. But while preparing, I missed naya so much, so every stage we performed for this album became an incredibly precious memory to me.
And I think during promotions I may have shown some moments where I wasnโt feeling my bestโฆ whether it was at fansigns or when sending messages on Plus Chat. I think naya worried about me a lot. But the reason I was able to keep going was because of all of you. Thanks to naya, I found the strength to keep going.
I didnโt get to meet every single naya, but while doing fansigns this week, instead of just thinking of them as a fun time to chat with you all, I tried to really reflect on what NAYA means to me before meeting you. And as I did that, I found myself deeply moved by just how much you love someone like me, even with all my shortcomings. I was trulyโฆ so touched that I canโt even put it into words.
Since weโre all human, you know that we canโt be happy every single day, right? But naya makes me happy every day. Thank you for reminding me once again that youโre that kind of presence in my life.
Every single thing you say to me means so much. Thank you so, so muchโฆ really, trulyโฆ Your words give me incredible strength. Iโm not just saying that.
If someone were to ask me how this promotion went, Iโd say it was naya who made this promotion what it was.
It had been a long time since our last comeback, and thank you for giving me so many new thoughts, experiences, and feelings. Thank you for helping me realize so many things.
I still have a lot of shortcomingsโฆ I always think that Iโm lacking in many ways. Naya always tells me that I donโt have any shortcomings and that Iโm doing well, but Iโm not saying this to put myself down. I just want to say that thereโs no such thing as a perfect person in this world.
So even if, from now on, people tell me, โThank you for always doing so well without lacking anything,โ Iโll probably still keep thinking of myself as someone who has room to improve. I think thatโs how Iโll be able to keep growing without limits.
Itโs already been more than half a year since I turned 20, and honestly, Iโm so happy to be in my twenties. Hehe. Itโs because this is the very first step of my twenties, the beginning of everything Iโll fill this decade with.
Iโm really excited. Iโm excited to see how much Iโll grow, how much more my love for performing on stage will grow as I stand on all kinds of stages, and how happy my twenties will be as I spend them together with NAYA.
Some people tell me not to grow up too quickly, but every single day fills me with excitement. Letโs make my twenties beautiful together, one day at a time. ๐
