That's why I think I prepared harder and managed my physical condition more carefully than ever before. Thinking that this might be a performance that's hard to do again with this concept, I wanted to finish it without any regrets. I believe the band members and staff felt the same way. Although it was a performance under my name, it seems that we were able to successfully complete the 7 performances thanks to the efforts of everyone who poured their all into it as if it were their own performance.After every performance, I experience two contradictory, ambivalent emotions: the relief of it finally being over and the regret of not wanting to let it go yet. Even though I exhausted all my energy to the point where I couldn't do any more, I kept replaying the performance for days with a sense of regret and emptiness. I will blame myself for the minor mistakes for just a few more days and then move on.As I did this performance, I thought about something once again. There are so many people who truly believe in me. It seems that I have been able to pursue music with ambition for so long because I have colleagues, staff, and fans who believe in what I want to do and the path I want to take without any doubt.I don't know when, where, or in what form I will return, but I will come back with a product that reflects deep consideration and sincerity, so as not to betray that trust.I hope we all stay healthy until then!Thank you again to everyone who joined us for the 'Old Songs' performance in 2026.Let's meet again soon after we get a little older!kafka@tf.co.kr[Entertainment Department | ssent@tf.co.kr]
