It's been yet another year with these wonderful boys, and there are many more years to come! I remember discovering this group back in 2009 and I was so amazed by the way they performed and just the way they worked as one. I can honestly say I'm so glad that I came to join this fandom; I don't think I've had any greater inspiration than seeing these five boys achieve more and more each day.

8 years? Welp, 1000 Years; Always By Your Side. I'm so proud to be part of the SHINee World and to see all five of them grow to be such stars. They've released such beautiful albums and have even released solo albums!

Onew, my beautiful leader. You've done such a wonderful job leading them for these 8 years and I know you can keep going. I love the way you smile through everything and you just encourage me to smile no matter how hard the problem is. I'm sure that you'll keep persevering and you'll lead SHINee to the greatest. I love you so much and keep doing what you've been doing.

Jonghyun, my little dinosaur. You've been working as a soloist but you still manage to promote SHINee. Your support for the group is remarkable; keep being the little kid you are.

Key, my diva. You're still the mother of the group and even though it may not show as much nowadays, we all know that you're still taking care of Taemin and the rest of your kids. Keep taking care of the others as well as yourself; keep being healthy so we can see you guys every day!

Minho, my favorite ship with Taemin. I love your competitiveness and your athleticism. I hope I can see you in more dramas and I hope you can get more lines in their songs.

Taemin, my favorite maknae. You've grown insanely manly over the years and I would be lying if I said I hated it. I love the way you can be so charismatic but you can still look as innocent as a puppy. I need to cut this short since it's late, but keep growing to be the greatest and keep loving your hyungs!

I promise to put more effort into this next year!
