summer story 2018 letters

MINO

First off... WINNER's pillar. SeungHoon hyung. I felt that you were the pillar during this round of promotions, but I also feel that all the time. I think your energy really influences WINNER's activities a lot.

Wherever we go, when the rest of us are tired, you bring us together with the most amount of energy, set the mood of the atmosphere, and I am so thankful. But, you are also someone who feels a lot of highs and lows, Mister Undulation-Lee. I hope that continuously, from here on out, you will steadfastly be WINNER's compass, and that with your bright energy we will be a WINNER that is loved anywhere we go. Keep working hard. I love you.

 

And...

WINNER's roof. JinWoo hyung.

Always. With a consistent spirit and attitude, you are a stellar role model to your younger members. When we bicker or have differences in opinions, thank you for being in the middle and holding on to us. Because you're here, hyung, WINNER is able to get up and get going again whenever we fall.

I don't know if it was because we've been so busy lately, but you've been so sensitive recently and in our eyes, we saw your spirits down quite often. Every time I saw that it got to me that I couldn't just take the time to sit down and have a drink with you. Our JinWoo hyung, I know you've you lost a drinking buddy since I decided to quit drinking... But I'll return soon, so just wait...

Anyway, I am always so thankful for you and I love you.

 

As a '94-liner and someone who is younger than me, a best friend, someone who is like an older brother when he leads. Kang SeungYoon.

Like you mentioned when you filmed for Secret Garden. You are being too restrictive on yourself.

I couldn't help but think that it could be good for you and necessary to let go of that bit by bit.

I feel so sorry when I see you get hurt by nonsensical hate comments. It felt a little frustrating for me too...As someone who has gotten a lot of hate comments himself.

You need to filter it out to a certain extent, but it seemed like you kept thinking about it deep inside you and that worried me. Anyway, I'm sure you're able to handle yourself well, but I am always ready to help you, whenever it may be.

You consistently work hard, bite the bullet and face the day. You aren't funny, yet you laugh a lot.

I like you because you are so constant. Even when I pull jokes on you that might go too far, you just sort of laugh it off, and I like that steady part about you. Respect!

Even on the musical front, seeing you win over all feedback as though you're asking us to watch, I know that even though I observed from the closest point you were still amazing. I learn from and am motivated a lot by that attitude of yours. Thank you for being a leader. Anyway. Let's take care of your health, friend.

I love you.

 

SEUNGHOON

To JinWoo hyung

Let's all try to find happiness...

I hope you don't get so stressed and that you will be the owner of a heart so big that you're able to laugh off anything... Don't drink so much, and I hope you'll go back to being the man who kept his body, health, and heart healthy through jiu-jitsu and boxing.

 

To SeungYoon

The youngest, Mister Lee SeungYoon... Cutie pie... I know you get upset sometimes because your hyungs take jokes too far but you're cute even then, Mister SeungYoon... I hope you will become a man that knows how to listen well to what your hyungs say to you and that as a leader you will be mature and responsible. (But of course, you're already doing a great job of that.)

 

To MinHo...

You boldly go forward with an admirable driving force and decisiveness. Though you enjoy being tardy, you have paid the tardy-fine just as much. Thank you always. Seeing you not even sleep so much and work hard, I sometimes worry about you, but as you have consistently done so far, I have faith you will do well. Don't forget about your health, and just as you do now, please continue to show your bright smile.

 

JINWOO

 

To my SeungHoon, MinHo, and SeungYoon, whom JinWoo loves....

I'm not very good with words but I'll try to write it out ^_^

Please forgive this hyung, who is only always able to express his gratitude in this way ^^

 

When you see it from a limited point of view I may be the eldest member, but when it comes to aspects of every day, or musically, or work-wise, I'm not doing this all by myself....^_^

It's all because you guys are here!! You guys are the ones who have led me this far ^^

Seeing the way you guys try to adjust yourselves! Your attitudes! To me even when it comes to the smallest things, I feel sorry but also so thankful and proud of you all!! ^^💙

 

Like I mentioned when we ate earlier, being thankful to the fans is a given, but for me personally, I feel a greater sense of gratitude towards you three ^_^ I am so happy that I was able to come into this world and have brothers that I am able to go around outside calling my family!!!!

 

I've felt a lot of things no this vacation-but-not-a-vacation, but I am so happy that I was really able to feel happiness, and gratitude, and that I was able to make happy memories with you all💙

 

I cherish you, the anchors of my life,

my SeungHoon

my MinHo

my SeungYoon

 

Thank you so much!!
Let's be happier from now on and be together for a long, long time💙

 

I love you all, my younger brothers!!!!

 

SEUNGYOON

to. My members whom I love💙

 

First off, JinWoo hyung!! Amongst such different younger members, you maintain your place by, at times being quiet, at times being warm, and at times being stern. Thank you for that!! You probably don't know how much your presence is strengthening to the rest of us and to me... No matter what anyone says, you are WINNER's pillar!! Thank you for being SeungYoon's first older brother, and for staying in that role. I love you!! 💙x4

 

SeungHoon hyung!!! A motherly figure, the second oldest member, SeungHoon hyung!! I think it's because you are here that I am able to be not only the leader but the youngest member... When I wanted to act like a kid sometimes, or when the load being a leader felt too heavy, because I had you I was able to act like the youngest child Kang SeungYoon at home. So thank you!! WINNER's sense-master and influential figure, Deputy Lee!! Thank you so, so much, and I love you!! 💙x4

 

Mino!! For me to be who I am right now, if I didn't have you to call my friend, I think I would've been a much different person today!! We were able to share with one another our inspirations and muses, and you became a friend who shared hobbies with me even in moments where I was being stingy with my alone time or hobbies. Above all though, I think because you were someone so developmental, I was also able to develop and progress!! Song MinHo, my friend who walked down a good path with mee!! Thank you. I love you!! 💙x4
