I’ve spent a lot of time wondering how to share this, but I felt it was only right to let ARMYs, who have showered him with love, know. If you could think of Yeontan from time to time, it would mean the world to me, so he can feel joy in his heavenly home. I hope you can use this season to remind your loved ones how much you care about them. Please stay healthy until the day we meet again. I love you all and thank you so much.”
