kihyun thanking even those who are no longer in the fandom brought tears to my eyes and gave me goosebumps all over my body. i've never seen anyone so grateful for their journey and for those who accompanied them, regardless of the time or whether they're still here. for him, the people he touched along the way are important, no matter how long it's been, and that's so, so, so beautiful.
we see so much pressure, so many people wanting to decide if someone is a good fan or not, and here's kihyun saying that if you thought they were worth your time, if you appreciated what they did, if you were there when they needed you, you matter.
i love him so much, we don't deserve him
