[Long post ahead]
So… where do I even start? Hmm.. this is something only a single person in stantwt (until now so I’m guessing a lot of you are surprised. heh) and my immediate family knows coz I’m not a big fan of the idea of other people feeling sorry for me and for my uh… situation but Enhypen made me at ease to do it—them, my comfort.
I met them in my darkest times aka the moment I learned that I am sick. One day I’m doing just fine like any other folks my age, striving for a solid future and working hard on my field like I always do but then the next day.. my life took a turn in a direction where that said future starts to get blurry.
It felt like my whole world came to a full-stop. I detached myself from everyone and everything as the medications, hospital visits and procedures started. And with those mentioned things, you’re bound to get tired, weak and feel helpless. The once extrovert, enthusiastic and outgoing Ahj turned into a pessimist and temperamental person.
Even my ever so supportive family is already having a hard time because of me and despite all their efforts to keep me afloat.. I’m slowly sinking but just when I’m about to drown.. I found them.
My perfect distraction, at best that’s what they are to me at first.
Watching their contents and listening to their music not only kept me entertained but somewhere in between, they sparked a hope in me and from thereon I decided to live—still live despite the ‘setback’ I was given to.
Bit by bit, I caught a ray of light enough to continue where I left off. That beautiful distraction remolded the dot into a semicolon and ultimately gave me the push to be braver.
I started to fight.. with full force this time and that made all the difference because just recently, I am now on partial remission (complete remission next?) and I just know, even my loved ones; that Enha played a big part in it and I don’t know how I can ever repay them for that.
And so, from seeing them personally for the first time in BYS funmeet and every single visit they do here in the Philippines that I make a point attending to, I’ve been contemplating to let them know how much they mean to me.. how they saved me in more ways than one but I always feel hesitant or maybe too shy to do it.
Honestly, that’s also the case for yesterday in #WALKTHELINE_IN_BULACAN but I badly want to give the credit where it’s due so I gathered all my courage and wrote down this banner last minute, I’m even positive that there’s only a slight chance that it’ll be noticed in a pool of thousands of people inside the stadium but like a miracle that Enhypen is to me.. it was shown on the screen.
I got so startled that I covered my face with it and started tearing up behind it but with a contented heart this time because finally even though there’s a slim chance that they (our sevEN) saw it, I’m more than happy to let the world know how these seven amazing guys is literally saving lives, I just know that there’s a lot of other people out there like me.
“Thank you” is such a modest word to use for you my solace. And for that, all I can do is to promise that I’ll support you forever. As much as I can.. as long as I’m still here in this world living the bonus life you led me to live.
I’ll always be your Engene who will dash towards success with the fuel you’ve given me since day one. Mahal ko kayo ng sobra at maraming salamat @ENHYPEN_members ❤️🩹

To @ENHYPEN_members ,
You don’t even realize what you did last night. You don’t even realize how many hearts you held together, how many people you gave a reason to keep going. You stood on that stage, singing your hearts out, and in return, you became someone’s lifeline.
There was someone in that crowd who had been feeling lost, unsure of where to go next, and in the middle of it all, they found direction again. Someone who had been struggling to breathe under the weight of life, and you became the air they needed. Someone who hadn’t felt happiness in so long that they forgot what it was like, and for a fleeting moment, you reminded them. You made them feel alive again.
Do you see what you do? Do you see how much you matter?
Last night wasn’t just another stop on your tour. It was everything. A moment that will stay with us forever, a memory we will hold onto when the days feel too heavy. When life becomes unbearable, when everything hurts, we will remember this night, the night that reminded us that love exists, that happiness still lives in our hearts, and that your music and presence can heal in ways words never could.
But more than anything, we hope you felt it too. We hope that in the voices calling your names, in the hands reaching for you, in the love surrounding you, you found strength. That for a moment, you could let go of the exhaustion, the pressure, the loneliness. That you felt safe. That you felt held. That you knew, without a doubt, that you can trust FILO ENGENES. Because you can.
No matter how hard things get, no matter how far from home you are, you are never alone. Somewhere, just a four-hour flight away from your home country, there are FILO ENGENEs who will always be waiting for you. People who will never violate you, leave you, never waver, never turn their backs on you. The crowd last night was just a fraction of us. The rest of FILO ENGENEs couldn’t be there, but they were with you in every way that mattered. Some of them have no tickets to the show but came to the concert venue, was there since morning and stood outside the stadium during the concert, screaming & singing their hearts out too. Others were at home, holding onto the same love, feeling the same emotions, longing to be there with you. No matter the distance, their hearts were right there with us in that moment.
You don’t have to be strong all the time. You don’t have to carry everything alone. If nothing else, we hope last night showed you that Philippines will always be a place where you are loved. A place where you are understood. A place where you can fall, and we will be here to catch you.
We will carry this night in our hearts until the day we see you again. And we will see you again. No matter how long it takes, no matter how far the wait feels, we will be there. We will always find our way back to you, just as you have always been our guiding light.
And lastly, WALK THE LINE in Bulacan. It wasn’t just another show. There was something about it. Something words can’t explain. Maybe it was the voices echoing into the night, maybe it was the love we all felt so deeply, maybe it was the way everything just fell into place. But it was special. In a way only we will understand.
And maybe that’s the best part. Some things don’t need to be explained. They just are.
As you fly back home, we hope you take this love with you. Feel it, hold onto it, & let it remind you that no matter where you go, you are never alone. You gave us everything last night, & we only hope you find comfort in knowing that we will always be here, waiting for you.
Thank you for always coming back to the Philippines JUNGWON, HEESEUNG, JAY, JAKE, SUNGHOON, SUNOO & NI-KI. For always including us in your tours, in your fan meets, in your journey. Thank you for never making us feel too far away, for making us feel seen, heard, and loved. You have given us so much, & we hope that every time you come here, you feel just how much we love you.
We love you ENHYPEN!
