[instiz] KAI'S 'THANKS TO'ㅠㅠ

"THANKS TO. To all the moments and people who brought me to this album,

First, to you who waited for and believed in this album, I learn anew each time how immense a strength it is, how deeply grateful I am, to have a heart that understands without needing explanation.

You were the one who made me promise myself most often: not to let waiting become a given, not to let the heart that dances with love be worn down. Though “thank you” always feels insufficient, today I want to say it. Thank you.

To the members who walked this path with me.

There were so many moments I could endure simply because we were looking in the same direction.

Times when words weren't needed, when just being beside each other was enough. The days we became each other's standards are all preserved somewhere in this album. To my precious members who walked the same path with me, even when we went a little slower, took a break, or sometimes stopped altogether. I want to tell you: I'm grateful you were my members, my hyungs.

To all the staff who completed this album behind the scenes.

Thank you for believing in this process before the music, and for looking out for us. Because you valued attitude over results, I could stay true to myself until the end. Though many things happened and nothing came easily, this album exists because we gave it our all.

And to family and friends. Having a place to return to without needing words was more courageous than I realized. Thank you for not asking if I was okay, but for always just being there instead.

No day passed easily, and that's why I didn't want to let any slip away.

This album isn't perfect, but it's a record of moments when I chose to keep going, even while wavering. I'm still lacking, still learning, but thanks to all the hearts that brought me here, I believe I can keep making music now, next time, and the time after that.

Once again, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

To you, listening to this album."
