And you all did good things that I couldn’t do. And you all gave me great gifts^^

Each and every year on my birthday,

it seems I receive even more birthday wishes, so I’m happy and grateful♡

Through these words, whenever I’m active,

you give me support, along with gifts, and with diverse ideas

you promote me, and because you always supportingly cheer me on from the side

I wanted to say thank you^^

I will become prettier and greater so I can repay you all~ Please wait^^

In Japan, the members and I celebrated when the clock struck 12

and for the first time in a while, we all gathered around and chatted and played until the sun roseㅋ

I’m eating well and living diligently, so don’t worry^^

The people who wished me a happy birthday~ Thank you so much♡

The weather is going to get hotter, so don’t get tired and be strong!!

I hope there will be a day that we can meet again soon^^

Thank you~S♡NE

Translator’s note: “Yoongtanjeol” essentially means her birthday.
