#JIHOON.

1000 days really flew so fast. I feel so happy to be able to experience and share the cherished moments, the surreal moments, and the moments that I once thought I’d never experience with the other five members and 42. Above all, it feels truly amazing!

Some days, when it feels overwhelming and hectic to the point I forget and let the precious and meaningful moments pass by, I lie in bed and thought to myself, “What did I even do today?” That’s why, these days, I’ve been trying to be more honest with my feelings and hold onto those moments for a little longer. I didn’t even realize it when it had been 10 days since debut, then when it hit 100 days, I thought, “Woah, it will be a year soon, and we’ll be celebrating our first anniversary.” And today, on the 1000th day, it feels so surreal! I think it’s not only because time has passed, but also because so much things have happened along the way and so many experiences have built over time.

I’ve always been happy to keep moving forward and putting thought into things for the people I love throughout these 1000 days—this is how my heart truly feels today. I think me being able to share something with the people I love through things I love is such a great blessing in life. From now on, I will continue to work hard and do my best to show 42 the very best of what I have, so that I can be worthy of all the love you give and show me.

Throughout these 1000 days, I’ve never stopped thinking about things I want to do and show you, 42! There are still so many sides of TWS and myself that I haven’t been able to show you yet!! That’s why I’m so, so happy and I’m looking forward to see the person I’ll become in the future. I’m always deeply grateful to 42 for staying and always by our side for such a long time. Thank you so much, 42!

Since it’s our 1000th day, I’ll be the happiest person—more than anyone—today! 🙆🏻‍♂️🙇🏻‍♂️
