🐶: Recently, I was looking through the photos over the years, and I realized there are so many moments captured. All those photos, were taken by you. Some of you even printed them at home, and some went to photo studios just to get them developed. When I look at those, I don’t think about whether I looked good or bad, or what my face looked like back then. Of course, I’m always so grateful you took them, and when I see them, I can remember exactly when and what song it was from. But more than that, I think about how when it was hot, you still came to see us, and when it was freezing cold, you waited for us to arrive. Even if it was just for a 3 or 10 minute performance, you got on planes, buses, or trains and came all that way, waiting for us no matter the weather. I think about that a lot. how you always arrive before we do, how you get less sleep than we do, how tired you must be, and yet, you spend your time just to see us for a brief moment. I think about how you’ve given us your time, your effort, that you’ve shared part of your life with us. So when I look at those photos, it’s not just, “Ah, that was a nice moment.” Of course, it’s wonderful and I’m grateful, but more than that, I realize you must have gone through so much for us. You must have been tired, sleepless, yet you came to so many places and took so many photos. That’s why every single picture, every single letter I receive, isn’t just a photo or a letter to me, it holds your time, your memories, your moments spent with us. When I think about that, I feel so sorry, and so grateful, truly. I mean it from the bottom of my heart. That’s why I always say, whenever I meet you, it feels like I’ve received homework: “How can I repay all this love I’ve been given?” I spend a lot of time thinking about that. No matter how much we give, it never feels like enough. Even though I’m still lacking in so many ways, you think of me, you love me, and you cheer for me. It makes me think, am I really allowed to be this happy? This 20th anniversary has made me reflect a lot. I kept thinking, “I really need to do well,” and “I want to show everyone my best.” But looking back, I feel like I still have a lot of shortcomings. Thank you so much to everyone who has been with me for the past 20 years. I hope we can be together for the 21st and 22nd anniversaries too. That’s why I’ll take better care of my health, work harder on my music, dance even more passionately, and do my best in every way, so I can repay all of you even more. Everyone, sleep well tonight. Those going out to enjoy Suju Week, dress warmly, eat well, and take good care of yourselves. Thanks to all of you, we’ve reached our 20th anniversary and also, thank you so much for all the birthday wishes. I love you. Good night 💙 #donghae #동해
