There are a lot of things I loved about our dear Agu-leader, but the one thing that struck me hard was his letter for his members that he wrote a year ago.
L.O.V.Es shouldn't be foreign to this video, which is also included in the concert DVD.
And it's absolutely heart-breaking ; n ;;
I feel like a lot of times we forget that these boys are still young. They're barely 20 right now, debuting when they were 17, fresh faces in the society with harsh scrutiny. There's a lot of burden weighing on the leader that we don't always notice, because they choose to hide it behind a smile and polite waves, but it has always been there in subtlety.
Kim Jonghyun matured a lot in the last three years, and quickly too. Sometimes I feel like he as forced to grow up (all of them did), but I'm glad he's still holding on. And so are his members. ; u ;
JR's letter to his members is something I've always thought was crucial for any L.O.V.Es to watch, to understand and appreciate the members' efforts a little more in how they are still staying as NU'EST.
I can't find the English-translations now, but it's a tear-jerker. You have been warned!
변하지 않기로 해요 너와나, 내 옆에 있어줄래요 언제나 대 옆에 딱 붙어 있을 거야 영원히, oh baby
Oh my god, I wish I had the translation so I knew everything that he said. This broke my heart without truly knowing what he was saying, but the feelings were definitely conveyed.
I always find it sad how he express that he feels he failed. I wish I could be there to always let him know he does an awesome job. NU'EST and JR definitly need more appreciation, I always think of him as an inspiring person, always focused and engaged, yet funny and childish. Whenever I saw him backstage (before a fanmeeting or soundcheck) he always looks so serious, checking every detail and making sure everything is ok for his boys. He is strict I can tell, yet he has such a sweet personality. I makes me cry hearing him say he will do better because he feels he havent done enough... I wish he knew how special and important his job is for LOVE... <3 He is the leader our babies need <3

@lully
heres a traslation my FC made, its japanese> spanish>english, so, i am sorry if it isnt exactly that it is.

Thank you very much
NU'EST exists because of you, today its already been a while and as always you support us.
And to the staff, really, thank you very much everyone.
Also, to the members: You always had trust in a person who isnt really mature, like me-..- thanks a lot.
I am going to take the goal of becoming a leader that lets people feel like they can trust with more effort.
From now on, we gotta keep forward, join streghts and do a bigger effort.
The bad side is... -shy smile.-
I still want to say some words for the members... before debut, each one of us lived in different places, we meet and we talked to each other... many things had happen... happy things, sad things... we even felt like giving up at some point... Even when we were together, sometimes we cant notice, because we live all together/are together all the time...
The first time we cried because we saw our parents message recorded, we started thinking of so many things... because we couldnt avoid our parents making us moved, so we cried... because they are always quiet right behind us supporting us and it makes us feel grateful, so we cried...
On the other side, I dont like being the leader, but I am... so first, thank you for listening when I said "please, believe in me"
On the other side, I am sorry I cant keep a promise like that...
I feel really ashamed... and I feel really grateful towards everyone...

@lully: Lexie provided the trans if you still need them, but yes, it was heartbreaking. The saddest part had got to be when he said 'I'm sorry I haven't been able to keep the promise', and I'm just ; A ;;
@lexie: exactly. He's always checking the schedules with the staff, the routine, taking care of the members...sometimes when he says his ideal type is a girl who can take care of him, I really wish he will eventually find someone who will do that because he's done everything that he could to take care of the group.
It's not easy to even manage you own life, not to mention when you have take care of the other members at a young age. If he wasn't the leader, NU'EST wouldn't have walked till this date. I believe the members knew that much as well.
(It's also equally heartbreaking when Minhyun broke down while singing the follow up song right after this segment I'm just ; A ; One day LOVEs will return your love with something that you all deserve okay. You guys didn't fail ; n

::must not cry, must not cry, must not cry...::
Oh man, yeah even without reading the translation, that video's heart wrenching. I hadn't seen it until now. All of their body language just speaks volumes. They've fought such a hard fight. I love these guys. And Ren reaching out to touch JR's shoulder. Just...AAAWWW! <3
