Hellooooo, Kevin!
It’s Ryna with many many hobbies and I WAS RIGHT! But we’ll talk about that a little later. This letter will be all over the place. You have been warned.
Yesterday’s concert was great. It would have been amazing if I’d been there in person. So, when you come here, I’ll call it amazing then. (By the way, even though I didn’t go to the concert, my stickers did. I asked Jaan if she could give them out at the concert for me and she’s kind enough to agree. Deobis are so sweet.)
I love the setlist. When you come here, please bring Water. It’s my most favorite tbz song and I MUST see it live. My favorite song trope/type is “this song is so cute and bubbly, but don’t look closely at the lyrics or you’ll cry your eyes out.” Water is exactly that.
Your ment was nice. Your mom must have loved that. I can understand why you teared up during Clover, though. I feel lucky too to have known The Boyz. It’s a miracle and a mystery of algorithms that I came across you. I have been blessed ever since.
And I agree that sometimes professionalism and pretense can be similar, and mistaken for one another. I think it’s also about how we define professionalism and recognize when we should choose it over what we want to do inside. Like, if you’re performing on stage and your inner self just wanna break down and cry and kidnap some random person and climb up the empire state building, maybe let professionalism take the wheel on that one? But if you’re live or on bubble, and you’re just overwhelmed and feeling like you want to break down a little, go ahead. I just hope that we can be a place where you feel comfortable with and secured enough to speak your mind.
I know that being someone in your position, words can get spread and misinterpreted by people who don’t know you or know the full context. That could be one of the reasons you don’t feel like you can talk about how you feel? I really don’t know. But, what I know is, it doesn’t matter. People are dumb. They misinterpret things. Do you think Shakespeare would be ok with people reading Romeo and Juliet as a romance? Should we respect dumb people who misinterpret things? We probably should. I don’t, though.
I’m getting off topic. What I’m trying to say is I hope you can recognize what matters to you, who matters to you. I hope you can be comfortable to be yourself, be Kevin, not just a singer and entertainer Kevin, around us. I hope we can be someone you’re not hesitant to speak your mind to.
The other day you talked about your hair on bubble, and I said “as lady gaga said ‘I’m as free as my hair’ wear it the way it’s you.” I stand by it. If people don’t like your hair, they just have to deal. People are allowed to like or dislike your hair. However, they’re advised to shut the fuck up about it. If the thing you’re commenting on is not something they can fix within 5 minutes, don’t comment on it.
Anyway, Hair is such a good song.

BREAKING NEWS!!
I was in the middle of writing you a letter when the tour dates dropped, so I’m writing this instead.
Backstory, I’m involved in Jacob’s birthday cafe in Thailand this year, and I totally predicted the announcement!
(This portion of the letter was in my original letter, so I’m gonna keep it. It’s gonna feel a little weird, but since when am I not weird?)
I’m telling you this (about the birthday cafe) partly bc jacob doesn’t seem to visit fancafe often (which is fine I don’t know how to talk to him anyway lol), but mostly because I think you might appreciate the tiny details I get to put into the deco.
You’re the first person outside of the team to see this btw. (and about 5 other people who regularly read my letters. Hi! I hope I can be amusing to you too lol)
I made a newspaper! I made 2 pages, but I’ll only show you this one.
My article is correct. I am magic.
I will see you soon! I have 2 months to make banners and signs. I will think about what I want to make and then scrap it completely and pull an all-nighter to do something equally ridiculous. That’s also a prediction, but this one, I don’t want to come true.
OK. I’m gonna go now. I’ll see you in August. Please talk about the dress code soon, so we’ll have time to find something ridiculous.
Love you (strictly platonically),
Ryna x
P.S. I know this is late but Joy was elated that you watched Hunger!
