hey, baby!!
guess who was just catching up on genius paik before bed because she misses you and hasn't had the chance to see the new episodes yet 🙋♀️ and not to be me and say this again, but honestly, every single ep makes me even prouder of you... I'll reserve the full reviews for another letter but seriously. if anything, this is your daily reminder that you're making us so proud, eric. every day, with everything you do!!! 💛
truth be told, this week hasn't been the best for me. I was a bit down for a few days, still kinda am, because real life has just been... not great lol nothing bad happened, don't worry! just some bad feelings in general. but hey, at least I got a nice frappe the other day... 😅
...and I was happy that I managed to park within the lines! which sounds silly, but as someone who's terrified of driving and avoids it at all costs, that's a rare sight 😂
now that we know you drive too (?! ERIC SOHN?), pls spare some tips for the scared drivers (me LOL) 🙏
but you know what has been helping put a smile on my face these days? these two dudes in a special unit, you might've heard of them? 허니즈 I guess is how they're calling themselves?
seeing the behind the scenes for the MV + the interviews that have been coming out made me appreciate this unit even more. because I mean, we already knew you worked well together after 6 years, and we already knew your voices/dancing styles mesh well together (rap line!), but seeing you have so much fun & enjoy the process of creating the stage just between the two of you is so 🥰🥰🥰 the synergy!!! the stage presence!!! all perfect. I'm glad you have each other not only in a human, "hey glad you have someone your age" way, but in a "damn that's TWO great performers" way too.
which reminds me! I adored the 여담:餘談 TRIVIA interview SO much!!! your answers 🥺 you mentioned being honest towards us and that's exactly what I wanna point out about the interview because your earnest answers were so lovely, eric. YOU are so lovely.
the part that reminded me of what I was saying about you and sunwoo up there is this:
because yeah!!! we may all have our biases (clearly 😆 I'm living proof), but truth is, it's so rewarding to call myself a theb and have 11 people to look up to ❤️ tbz creates performances and fills up the stage in a way that makes it impossible to NOT admire the whole group.
so hearing you say this?
that's EVERYTHING to meㅠㅠ💛 our theb president, thank you for being you, always.
and also: yes!!!
you get it...ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ💛 we have so much ahead of us! so many more good moments to experience together, tbz & theb!! I'm glad you have that mindsetㅠㅠ
the way I see it, the beauty of loving tbz is that you're all excellent artists on your own, but when you're all together (and choosing to be together!) you create something so unique, so powerful. it's not that you couldn't all be performing as solo acts - you could, you're all amazing! - but when tbz performs together, you go above and beyond. you know what I mean? I really, really agree with the sentiment that being a theb is loving all of you because that's how I feel, and that's what makes me the happiest. and the proudest!
and this is cute of you 😆💕
there's this one anecdote I heard from a past fansign where you either wrote it down on a post-it or told the theb directly (I can't remember), that you'd always be beside her while she stood beside her bias (I think it was juyeon?) and I never forgot that because I thought it was so cute 🥺💛 that's very eric of you, to want to spread love no matter what.
and that tactic clearly works because look at me 😅 I fell for your performance on stage first, but what really made me wanna be by your side forever was the heart behind the dance moves.
just like you said in the interview, tbz's music may not change the entire world, a world that's so cruel and senseless most of the time, but it DOES change each of our (thebs') worlds, for sure. it changes mine for the better in ways I don't even have words to explain, and I hope you know how true that is, baby. when I come here and tell you how much your existence & your passion mean to me, I'm not just saying it - I'm trying to convey how much of a difference you make in my life, how much strength you give me, how much you inspire me to keep going.
(even that pic of me parking the car! when I need to take the car somewhere, I usually think of you taking on challenges and trying your hardest, because your strength makes me feel stronger too. even to do something I'm terrified of.
reminds me of a quote I saw the other day while watching a show, attributed to lao tzu: "being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage."
very true, and I know that now because of you.)
that's something I've been thinking about watching genius paik too, because you clearly change things for the better everywhere you go, eric. you know that, right? :) 🦄❤️
enough feelings, though! I have a 🚨crime🚨 to report! kim sunwoo is trying to steal me from you!!!
my phantasy pt1 platform album came with 2 of his photocards for no reason... so now, obviously, I need my next platform album to have 2 eric photocards to balance things out 😂🙏 thankfully I've been joining group orders so my chances of getting your photocards are higher, but I still miss getting yours at random... why has the universe stopped sending me your photocards!! lol plsㅠㅠ
and yes, I only got that album recently, because group orders + international shipping means things take a whiiile to get to me...
I was actually thinking about this during "honey" promotions because for the longest time I had this idea in my head that thebs in korea (or at least in the seoul area) were always seeing tbz in person and could follow promotions very closely, and so on... but that was silly of me, wasn't it?! because seeing only 200 or so seats for the "honey" broadcasts made me realize that's so few seats!!! there's SO MANY more thebs in the country than that, so of course not all of them get to attend... not to mention thebs from outside of seoul, even! and I'm not sure how many people usually get to attend in-person fansigns, but even that must be a small number too, in comparison to how many thebs there are in totalㅠㅠ
that's crazy to think about it, isn't it? so many people love you that even with tbz promoting nonstop and doing so many things, it's still kinda hard for all thebs in korea to see you?! now more than ever, it's worth repeating: eric, you're SO loved 😽💛
ANYWAYS!! I hope your week treats you well, baby, and that if things get hard at any point, that you come across a cute doggo on your way again. because btw, those pics of you with the gentle big dog that you sent on bubble made me MELT. I can't recall if I've said this already but if not, there it is. all is right in the world when a cute dog can brighten your day~💕
take good care of yourself, okay, our loveliest? 😚 and since I mentioned sunwoo a lot in this letter, here's a sunwoo meme as a daily reminder:
drink plenty of water!!! especially if you're working out again, mr sohn. do it responsibly, get swole as much as you want, but stay hydrated 💪 deal?
and hey, eric? 오늘도 사랑해요 많이많이많이 우리 사랑둥이야 💖⛵️
