"I made a promise to my grandmother...back then the promise I made was just that I would become a good person...I made that one promise (to her), that nothing else matters and I’ll just become a good person."
"Honestly the standard for that is really hard (to meet)...like more than just being a kind/nice person? I think it’s to be a good person in a broad sense, I don’t think I can say I’m there yet...I still make mistakes sometimes and like…I might say something hurtful to someone even if it isn’t in my intention...even if I didn’t mean it that way, if the other person ended up feeling hurt, that kind of thing can happen so...I’m not fully there yet but I think that as I keep having these thoughts and putting in effort it can probably be seen it in a positive way...but out of all that I really hope to be a good person to our TINYs.

He fascinates me
He's mumbling and I can't hear clearly over the music, but he's set up an entire scenario in his head and it's TOO FUNNY. He's referencing more than one movie (I think 친구 / Friend, 2001, is one of them, and 신세계 2013, too) where the Kyeongsangdo dialect speaker is a gangster.
Deep sigh of despair. Steepled fingers. Another deep sigh. Lipsmack. Staring off into the middle distance. Hawaii? You go. [The Hawaii thing is from that movie, Friend, where one gangster suggests to another to run away to Hawaii to hide from consequences, and the other one goes, no YOU go if you wanna]. Brow crinkle, swallowing many words, many emotions. Making up his mind. Glaring down. Did Hongjoong make you do this? [Why is HJ catching strays LOL. Did so and so make you do this is a famous scene from 신세계/ Strange New World] Hurt, so hurt. [Then he says what sounds like 사창? 뚫고 가? and I have no idea what this means or if this is even what he says, and I can't find anything right now on k-atiny sources]. I've given you the signal - don't you understand? Head weaving like a boxer. Just for not wearing this measly ring - you're suggesting breaking up? Unacceptable. Tongue swirl inside mouth. Lower lip bite. Dramatic glasses removal.
There's several more parts to this, I think, and one of them involves getting an underling goon to get a shovel and then the prespective changes?? where he's going to bury(?????) you. Uh. FYI.
Why isn't Seonghwa going for acting? His face is so expressive.
🐰 A fan once wrote me a letter, and in that letter they included a poem. I think I may have shared the poem that really moved me. The title is “The Tree That Polishes Stars”, a poem by Gong Gwang-gyu. 🐰 (shy) It’s a bit funny. Some people might think I’m being dramatic, but since there are people who like things like this, I’ll read it. This isn’t my poem. It’s by Gong Gwang-gyu.
🐰 The title is “The Tree That Polishes Stars.”: Couldn’t a ginkgo tree be called a tree that polishes stars? A tree that, through rain, wind, and sunlight, diligently polished the stars.
A golden tree dusted with stardust in autumn.
I, too, want to become a tree that polishes stars - polishing the star that is you, until I turn beautifully golden because of you.
Couldn’t someone like me be called a tree that polishes stars? Me, who wishes to fall beautifully for the star that is you.
🐰 It’s cheesy (but in a cute way). Anyway, it’s a very romantic poem. It was in a letter a fan gave me. That person said they thought of me when they read the poem, so they wrote it in their letter to me. When I read it, my heart felt a little tender and aching. So thinking about this poem, I wrote one myself. (shy) Shall I read it? Or should I show it? The poem the fan wanted to show me was “The Tree That Polishes Stars.” So after reading it, I tried writing a poem titled “Tree.” 🐰 (shows it on camera but it appears mirrored.) Is it upside down? Or mirrored? I’ll just read it. The title… ah, this is really cheesy/sentimental. The title “Tree” (laughs, shy).
🐰 Title: Tree
When it rains, stay for a moment - I’ll become your umbrella.
When the sunlight is too harsh and hard to endure, rest for a while - I’ll become your shade.
Climb on me, ride on my back. I’ll show you a bigger world.
When it feels like time has stopped, when you feel alone, I’ll show you the four seasons through my colors.
If you ever need a place to return to, even after many years, there in that same place I’ll be waiting.
And if someday I’m no longer needed, then… then it’s okay if you cut me down.
🐰 It’s kind of like The Giving Tree, right? I wrote this poem thinking about ATINY, after receiving that poem from a fan. It’s about giving everything - like the tree that gives endlessly. It becomes an umbrella, it becomes shade, you can climb it and see a bigger world from above. A river may look like only one color, but in a forest you can see all four seasons as the leaves change. 🐰 Sometimes when I’m having a hard time, I feel lonely, like time has stopped for me. In those moments, I imagine myself as a tree. As its leaves change, it reminds me that time is still passing. And there are trees that stay in the same place for hundreds of years, right? So even if you leave and come back someday, whenever you need a place to return to, I’ll always be there in that same place. And if one day the tree is no longer needed, then cut me down and still use me for your sake. I wrote it with that kind of feeling - a very devoted feeling, like “I belong to you.”
