Hello! To the members of the Bingbeom! Hahaha I really struggled with how to bring this up. I imagined that I would announce it beautifully when the time came, but it didn’t go as planned, so I hurriedly wrote this message.
Still, I’m glad to be able to convey my feelings like this! Recently, I had the opportunity to have long-time fans sing for me, and it felt like I was taking out my most cherished item that I had kept in an old drawer. You were young, and I was young back then. I felt that ‘we were really passionate back in those days’ and honestly, I missed it.
You are my era and my life. Because of the precious hearts that have supported and loved me, I have been able to live warmly and continue to move forward. That’s why I wanted to receive your beauty and sang diligently, putting all my effort into my work. I believe that’s the way to repay the hearts you have given me!
If it weren’t for Girl’s Day and the Daisies, I wouldn’t be here. I am truly a happy person. I want to say thank you for showing me that life can be filled with gratitude.
Also, I now have someone who supports me steadfastly by my side! Hehe I will challenge myself to do what I want while receiving your full support and protecting my family. Celebrate warmly from your hearts. To the Daisies, warmly, Daisy. From the leader of the Bingbeom, Bang Mina.
