Hi, Taehyung-ah 😊🤗 How are you today? I hope that you’re in an environment that is safe, supportive, and welcoming. Wherever you go, have a very strong plan in place so that no disturbances and unpleasant thing in there can bring you down. Put your eyes on something bigger so that every place or situation works to your advantage and not to your loss. You won’t be trapped, played, or tricked by others when you know what you want and what you don’t. As long as you stay true to yourself and to others, you’ll be able to gain a better understanding of how to do things more successfully. I’ve always been watching you and you’re a very wonderful person, Taehyung-ah. Please don’t let any of your efforts, hard work, talents, ideas and sacrifices go in vain. Believe in yourself so you can protect yourself. May you learn to go above and beyond all those who take advantage of you and do you wrong. Remember all your achievements before and let them serve as a blueprint of more things that you can do in the future. For now, let me bring you your recent achievements, Taehyung-ah.

I’m really happy to see how passionate and thoughtful you are in the creation of your masterpieces, Taehyung-ah. You got the heart of an artist and my heart swells every time I watch you do what you love and do it well. I wish there can be a film length or extended version of your Slow Dancing MV. I’m sure you got a lot of scenes taken since it’s such a very wonderful MV. I could see how much you feel for the song’s MV and I love how you’re demonstrating such fantastic creative direction.
I really wish your MV for Slow Dancing can win a big music award, Taehyung-ah. It took so many days to film all the MVs for your Layover, right? I think there were five days in total. They’re all so beautiful. Though For Us’ MV is really nice in concluding your Layover MVs, I wonder how it will feel like if it’s given a separate MV with one of the sets in Slow Dancing. I wonder how you feel after finally releasing your first album, Taehyung-ah, and if it’s the concept that you’ve always wanted. I’m really sad that the tracks are about breaking up since I expected them to be romantic songs like the ones you’ve written and released before and put us on Cloud 9 of love.
May the love we have last a lifetime. May you always know and feel you’re loved so much.
I love you so much, Taehyung-ah. I, and so many of your armys, love you so much. Always remember that. May we always be your friends to make you comfortable. May we be among your many sources of strength and vitality so that you can go beyond and be successful in any endeavor you’ll take this year. We’ll support you through thick and thin. Please take good care of yourself. Eat and sleep properly and keep a healthy lifestyle and optimistic mindset. May your days always be filled with happiness, graces, and blessings. May all your dreams come true and may you be happy, successful, and peaceful in 2023. 👼😘 Borahae, Saranghae, Taehyung-ah. 💜💜💜💚💚💚❤️❤️❤️
