SEVENTEEN Seungkwan Full Heart-wrenching Letter to ASTRO Moonbin
Seungkwan's letter in its entirety is a powerful testimony to his love and friendship with Moonbin. Here is the full text of his emotional message:
"For someone who changed the way I see the world. It's quite rare to find someone whom you can connect with on everything. We would wander together for hours with no destination in mind. We captured beautiful scenes on camera and lost ourselves in thought while gazing at the night sky. We would become intoxicated and sing songs as we walked through the streets. When I fell asleep inebriated, you never failed to charge my phone before going to bed. You encouraged me to work out even on rainy days, so together we climbed Namsan, soaked in the rain. When we were hungry, we'd order late-night snacks, eat them, and go to sleep. The following day, we'd exchange photos to see who had the puffiest face.
While we ate together, you would watch me with joy, saying, 'Pops, you're eating so well.' We laughed over small things, argued over minor words, and sometimes avoided each other out of hurt feelings and pride. However, we would always miss one another, apologize, and make up, having more fun than ever before. We played hard and worked even harder. You excelled at balancing both, making me proud. You kept a closer eye on me than anyone else and earned my deepest respect.
You were always kind to everyone, and because of that everyone loved and praise you. If you could only hear the nice words people say about you.
Thank you for sharing both my joys and sorrow, for helping me with them and sometimes even carrying them like your own. My dear friend Bin, who supported and comforted me until the very end, the term 'good person' doesn't do you justice. You are my lifelong pride.
Living as your best friend is already enough for me. I'm proud to be called your best friend. Right now, I'd just like to believe that I could see you if I want to. To hear you, if I need to. And I trust that I can. I know you're watching over me from heaven. You'll keep an eye on my upcoming promotions, right? I'll take your feedback into consideration, so please watch over me. I'll persevere, knowing you're watching.
To become your friend is an honor, Bin. I'm deeply grateful for that opportunity. Thank you for all that you've taught me. For now, you can already let go of all the burdens and responsibilities. Let go of the guilt, and just simply enjoy while you wait for me. I'll live through everything. In order to keep these memories alive, I'll look after your loved ones and reminisce with them. I'll share the memories I have with everyone who cherished you. Each time I do this, please smile and observe. If I have one request, it's that you visit me in my dreams. In our next lives, we'll be friends without a doubt. I'll meet you up there and embrace you tightly as soon as I see you. I love you so much. Bin, you've done well."
