Hello, this is Taemin.
It was a time that could be seen as too long or too short. Even though it seems like a valuable time for me to look back on it, I realized that I was very grateful and happy for the past time I spent.
I missed you so much that even saying “I miss you” is not enough, and I believe that everyone who believed in me and waited for me must have felt the same way I did.
Funny that this kind of thinking gives me more strength and is also one of the reasons that made me mature.
Thank you so much for making me a special person, and I will repay you all with a grateful heart for the rest of my life and move forward with a sense of mission!
I will always be part of your happiness!! All the best going forward.
