dulu kalo ada yg ngomong jelek, dia cuma anggap angin lalu aja. tp makin dapet banyak perhatian dan makin banyak pula yg ngomong gitu, lama-lama dia ngerasa berat juga :( tp karna fans banyak kasih pujian ke riwoo itu bikin dia jadi bahagia -c-
kalo ada 10.000.000 ringju aku salah satunya. kalo ada 100.000 ringju aku salah satunya. kalo ada 1.000 ringju aku salah satunya. kalo ada 10 ringju aku masih disana juga. kalo ada 1 ringju itu aku riwoo. tenang aja selama kamu baik, aku tetep jadi ringju π₯Ίπ₯³π«Ά
𦦠honestly, back then, whenever i saw negative comments, hmm.. they felt so minor. i could just let it slide and laugh them off, and some of them were actually kind of funny. but at some point, it changed. as the love for us grew and the attention on us increased, the volume of those negative comments grew too. and honestly, it gets really overwhelming at times.
𦦠that's why hearing these sweet words from onedoor makes me so happy and feels so precious.. coming here on live really makes me feel like i'm surrounded by people who are completely on my side, and just hearing nothing but positivity is the best feeling.
[reading a comment] "that kind of attention can get scary sometimes" yeah, you are absolutely right. there are definitely times like that.
𦦠that actually reminds me of something zico hyung used to tell us all the time, even before we debuted. he would say "someday, as you guys get more and more attention, there will definitely be moments where it feels really heavy and difficult. that is just what happens when the spotlight gets brighter. but if you stay strong and push through those moments, that is how you rise higher, and that is how you and your fans build an unbreakable bond together" his words have really been staying with me.
𦦠and above all, what i always want to say is that when it comes to receiving love and strength, i don't want to just be on the receiving end (one-sided). i always want to give it right back to you too. whether it's on Weverse or when we meet in person, whenever someone tells me that during their darkest moments.. when they felt completely lost.. they were able to pick themselves back up and find strength because of me, it makes me so happy. even after it's over, i will literally just sit there in a daze, completely overwhelmed by how happy and grateful i am.
𦦠honestly, those are the exact moments when i think to myself "i am so glad i chose this career" when i'm performing on stage, or when the people i care about find the strength to stand back up and keep going without breaking down.. things like that. i think about it again right before i go to sleep. i have even had onedoor literally cry while telling me these things and honestly, i secretly wipe away a tear behind the scenes too.
