TRULY, DECEMBER THIRTY! - Heart-to-heart with Bangtanie!

To Taehyung, now twenty-seven years old.

The north wind whispered through the leaves, and the sunlight softened. Leaves fell all along the path; this moment of transition between seasons filled the heart with both excitement and nostalgia.

Some people hate the bleakness of winter, but others are captivated by its biting cold. As for me, I fell in love with winter because of the promise I made to meet you on a winter's day when the first snow falls.

In Daegu City, twenty-seven years ago, in a small rural area, there was a "little boy" born just one day before the New Year's Eve. He was chubby, cute, adorable, and had an exceptionally handsome face.

I wonder if God brought you here. A kind, warm Taehyung, ready to use his own wounded heart to heal other wounded hearts. Perhaps you are a little angel, sent here to save this life. You're right, life is precious, so live the way you want, live the life you've always longed for. Taehyung, fly freely in your own sky, even if the road ahead is full of thorns and storms; let me bear the burden for you. Taehyung is precious, a treasure, my whole life; as long as Taehyung is happy, I will be happy too.

Year after year passed, and his efforts with Bangtan were rewarded handsomely. He achieved greater success on the path to fame he pursued. But the pain and harshness brought about by the crown and the spotlight were not simple either. It hurt him deeply, exhausted him, and made him feel lonely, causing him to shed tears night after night in his room. But he didn't give up on his initial dream because of those difficulties and harshness. Somehow, Taehyung overcame all obstacles with unwavering strength, his will growing stronger. Although the world wasn't kind to him, the young man from years ago still treated the world with the kindness in his heart.

Wishing you good health and peace on your twenty-seventh birthday. May all your dreams come true smoothly. Wherever you are, whoever you are with, I hope you are always happy. May the long years ahead be carefree and simple, a life of kindness and honesty. May all the bad things and hurtful words disappear forever. May only a beautiful, boxy smile remain on your face, as beautiful as the boy you were at seventeen. I hope you achieve everything you desire, and that everything you achieve will be the best.

Although I couldn't be with you in the old days, I will always be with you in the present, welcoming the fresh new days together.

To the boy I love most, far away in the cold!

Dear, happy birthday to you. May you have a peaceful and tranquil twenty-seventh year.
