Hi, Taehyung-ah 😊🤗 How are you today? You must already be sleeping. I hope you’ve been able to get enough sleep since you’ve started your military service. They’re saying you’ll be dealing with live ammunition training, rappel training, and all those dangerous urban fight training in the ARMY General Administration School. You’ll be doing all those dangerous things that I don’t want you to even get close to. Please take good care of yourself, Taehyung-ah. Prepare well and be alert always, okay? Don’t just rush into anything you know is dangerous. Make sure you have backup plans always and be careful everywhere you go. Because you’re dealing with dangerous things, it’s understandable when you get afraid. You should turn that extra energy from your fear into something that you can do about, like turning that into courage. It’s a school, so they wouldn’t do anything that will be threatening to your life. They should have kept safety measures, so take note of them always. I heard you’ve been a wonderful leader to your members, Taehyung-ah. That’s super wonderful. I know that when you’re the one leading, there won’t be bad people. You don’t give bad advice and you don’t break safety rules. That’s smart.

As you know, I’m trying to be consistent in sending you letters, and I’m also fixing my fansite or blog dedicated for you. I’ll be categorizing my letters into their respective topics because I’ve just been putting them together since I haven’t been writing letters very often. Actually, this letter will just be a continuation of those letters I’ve already sent out. I’ve put these in a reserved list.
Congratulations, Taehyung-ah, on having your Layover chart for 127 days and counting on Worldwide Apple Music Album Chart, becoming the third K-pop soloist to do so, after IU’s Lilac (182) and Love Poem (130). It’s amazing how you have also been on par with IU after winning successive Weekly Popularity Award in MelOn before which had only occurred with IU, who is undoubtedly the leading female solo artist in the country. With your debut album becoming the best-selling album in the history of South Korea, breaking a two-decade long record by a Korean soloist in the 1990s, all on your own, without any collaboration and even without any wide-scale promotions but just yourself and all the momentum you’ve created with your projects since you’ve embarked on your solo era, you have established yourself a formidable name in the Korean music industry, while naturally being in demand in so many other parts of the world, especially in the European region. Since the release of your Layover, you’ve won an amazing 49 physical awards, not yet counting those physical awards you have won since the release of your Christmas Tree, or your Sweet Night. I wonder if you’ve got the chance to hold at least one of them, or if any of them has been sent to your residence or to your agency. It’s great how two of the biggest soloists in South Korea right now are joining forces to create a masterpiece, and I’m sure that will last for a very long time. We can’t wait for it, Taehyung-ah.

It’s wonderful how every single news about you becomes a trending topic on Naver. There was the articles about you and IU’s Love Wins song being on the most liked section of the platform. There was also the article about you and Namjoonie graduating as elite trainees trending highly on the most viewed section of the platform. Then there was the amazing all-kill #1 and sold out Harper’s Bazaar magazine covers of yours dominating the social media. You’ve also been the #1 Top searched solo Korean singer for December 2023 in WikiProjects Korean most popular pages ranking. As always, you’ve been the most viewed Korean idol in Wikipedia. You’ve also been the second most viewed Korean act only after BTS in the platform. Also, according to Visibrain, you’ve garnered 176M messages posted on social media.

Harper’s Bazaar’s confidence in you has a very long history of approval, Taehyung-ah. For one, there was Harper’s Bazaar Japan ranking your visit to the country for the first time in 4 years after the pandemic to attend the opening of Celine Omotesando at #1 with 5.35M views, your interview about what souvenir you always buy at #3 with 3.6M views in its Top 10 Instagram posts that created the most buzz in 2023. Most especially, you have occupied the first place for the 10 publications of 2023 that gained the most attention in 2023. There’s no wonder your Japanese fans got your magazines sold out “in a flash” in all major Japanese online retailers. I can feel their overwhelming love. I have close affinity with Japan and Japanese culture, too, since I grew up watching and loving anime that demonstrated the Japanese way of life and approach to the practical world as well as the beautiful and lovely things. You know you have a die-hard section of fans, Taehyung-ah.

I hope you’ll always be smiling these days. When you’re happy, smile and laugh. When you’re angry, be angry too. You are in very stressful situations and the military is very tough it aims to change you and your mentality. Don’t let them steal your identity, Taehyung-ah. Instead, use them to be strong and to be more tenacious in setting your plans into motion. I’m always on your side. I, and sooo many of your fans and armys around the world, as numerous as the stars in the night sky, are always on your side – all of us are hoping for the good things and the blessings and the protection to come surround you always, so don’t be too worried nor be too afraid, our beloved Taehyung.

I love you so much, Taehyung-ah. I, and so many of your fans and armys love you so much. Please always be healthy. Eat and sleep properly and get the energy you need to earn a thriving and fulfilling day each day of the year. May all the good things come to you, and you recognize them every time, in the coming days, weeks, months, years, and decades ahead. Don’t ever stop hoping and believing. You can make things happen when you prepare for them, commit to them, and be strategic in attaining them. May all your good dreams come true. May God bless you always. Borahae, Saranghae, Taehyung-ah. 💜💜💜💚💚💚❤️❤️❤️
