kim hongjoong, you have the biggest heart and the most beautiful soul. you are actively changing this world in the best way, and so many lives are made better because of your kindness, empathy, and love. more than you will ever know. i couldn't be more proud to call myself atiny. to support you and be inspired by you every day. it's over a week since your birthday, and with your schedule so busy especially with the upcoming comeback, i don't know if you'll have a chance to see my message then or even this one now. but i still want to say once more: thank you for being here. thank you for being the you today who continues to grow into the you of tomorrow. you have given so much: time, work, joy, tears, love, compassion. you give endlessly while giving the most credit to everyone else. the only thing you ever ask is that we follow the example to be kind, to continue as an echo of love reaching even further. today is the celebration of our naming, atiny; of ateez and atiny walking supportively together for the entirety of time we are given. but even more than that, it's a celebration of love, community, breaking walls and seeking equality for all. to our dreamer, for all dreamers, and from every dreamer: thank you. - ari 💚🎶🐦 #ateez #에이티즈 #hongjoong #홍중 #atinyday1117 #larknotes
