First of all, HAPPY BIRTHDAY KEY!  I hope you enjoy this day. 

Key,

  There’s too many words in my head but I’m gonna start this message by saying that you ed up my life, in a good way. I’ve been only a fan of KPOP this January but it feels like I’ve been a fan for years already. These eight months, I’ve grown into a whole new person, thanks to YOU. 

I won’t tell you how I liked you or how I knew about SHINee. I’m going to tell you about how you changed my life. Let’s start with dancing. Since birth I vowed to myself that I can never dance and I won’t dance. I convinced myself that my body was not meant for any sport or any kind of performing. Before I loved KPOP, I would listen to songs that most people dance to, but since I told myself that I can’t, I just dance in my head. UNTIL YOU CAME ALONG. Well at first, I stand by what I used to say. Then, a friend asked me if I was interested in joining a covergroup, OF SHINee. I was hesitant, I couldn’t dance so I declined. One time I went to their practice and I supposed to watch them, ONLY but then they lacked two members and one of them was Key’s role. And that was it, Ever since, I enjoyed dancing and I even take dance training now~I’m enjoying every moment of it and whenever I doubt myself, I always think about how you handle yourself. You taught me that it's not impossible as long as you work hard for it.

Performing in front of many people was the main thing that I did not want to do in life besides dancing. And combining it together will kill me instantly. But because of you, THAT changed. Before I perform, I say to myself that no matter what happens, I’m happy that I did it. I have to admit that I’m not the best dancer in our group, but that doesn’t stop me from performing with them. And you taught me to have no fear in showing what you love <3.

Rapping has been part of my life since I was in highschool. Adjusting to a new genre like KPOP was really hard because, hey it’s no joke to rap like Junhyung when you do NOT know korean. And to be frank, I only know a few words and phrases, but I don’t know how to speak korean dialect at all. I read about how you started to love rap. I’d have to agree that it’s interesting. For me, it’s fun because it’s really challenging, ESPECIALLY KPOP SONGS. The first rap part that I was able to pull of was RING DING DONG. It took me a week to get it right, because as I said, Rapping in Korean is no joke. Then as time pass by I was getting a little better. I was able to do the rap parts of Lucifer, A.Mi.Go, Replay, Juliette, Love Still Goes On, Shout Out(Some of it), Fiction by B2st, Shock by B2st and some other songs. I’m trying to learn Get Down now keke~ You taught me to practice over and over again, and never stop getting better :)

There’s so much more to say, but it might take me almost three days just to write about it. Bottomline is, you’re my inspiration. I can never repay for making my life so much better. I became more passionate about my dream, persevering to the things that I want to be better on and the things that I want in life, and to be true and honest to myself no matter what. 

Thanks for making me a better person, KIM KIBUM OF SHINee. You’re a TRUE IDOL. & Again, Happy Birthday! Continue inspiring other people as you've inspired me! Happy 20 ~
