Time flies as people always say. It's been 10 years since our debut and it's been almost 13 years since I first got to Seoul, Korea.
From an athlete to entering the fields of music and getting trained professionally. From a kid just starting his journey with curiosity to the man already walking 10 years down the road figuring out his artistry, artistry and he still walking...
From no one recognizing & appreciating the artistry to having a crowd that supports and believes in you.
Can't say nothing but "I'm too blessed" to be able to receive. I really want to say thank You to "JYP" entertainment & all staff for casting me and giving me the opportunity back then. Also helping me to grow through training huge fundemental part of me today! and it became a coincidence that happened back in school, when the casting team of JYP showed up and everyone in school left after exam. I was the one who stayed with a couple of friends that day when I should've went for fencing practice prepping for London 2012. Well, I guess the casting team didn't have much choice in that situation but to offer me the invitation to the audition. That's how it happened... I also want to thank Hee Wan for always supporting me through my hard times and tolerating the immature me back then as a kid. I want to thank Jimmy the CEO & J.Y. Park for guiding me through as seniors and as parents in the industry.
I want to say thank You to my members, for being the partners in the battle. Being the brothers since trainee days from nothing to traveling and performing. all around the world together.
I believe each member is focusing on their artistry now, and I hope for nothing but the best for them. Really glad and happy that we are able to show each of our individual colors and character as artists now.
I want to thank everyone, from the bottom of my heart, to every person that supports the group. Our crowd & fans.
I still remember the day of our debut showcase.
we were all riding that Auto electric Skateboard looking thing entering the venue during the intro of the show. It was around 50 people but it was definitely one of the most memorable show I did.
I also want to apologize to our fans for all the moments you worried. Sorry for the unpleasant moments and the negative experience that happened.
I'm sorry that there were a lot of times, random & miscomprehend things like gossips, issues about the stabilities of the group, all sorts of noises and scandals in the industry that were out in the industry affecting everyone's mood. Supports and fans deserve a good experience and I'm sorry for letting you all experience these kind of moments. There were a lot of precious memories from you all. I used to get a lot of "스니스니" from you all. Now that I'm almost "30" in a couple of months. As I age, I don't think anyone calls me that anymore. But the memory shows and pops up in my dream once or twice a year. haha. Not gonna lie...
I Love You all, the time you all spent with us was precious. I've always wanted to make our fandom and crowd proud, as a team, also as an individual I assume a lot of you are already in different industries/working in different fields already. I hope everyone can be happy and healthy. I hope everyone is able to find their standard of happiness in life.
That's all it matters. I'm also looking forward to what's next for us. without all of you, we won't be here today. None of this would ever happen, without you all.
