SOOBIN
We suddenly have a cold winter morning. How are you feeling?
About winter? Honestly, I didn’t use to like winter. I’m the type who gets cold very easily, almost to the point of it being strange. I’m not a fan of snow, either. But things changed at some point; fans started telling me, “I think of SOOBIN whenever I think of winter,” or “You shine particularly bright in winter.” At first, I found it a bit odd, but frequently hearing those comments made me start liking winter without realising it. Now, winter has become my favourite season.
Like all seasons, winter holds unique memories — the smell of the streets and the sensation of cold air on the skin. How do you remember winter?
I immediately think of snowmen when I think of winter. My elder brother, sister and I made a huge snowman when I was really young. Everything from that day is vividly etched in my memory. It might even be the earliest recollection of my life.
I don’t know if it’s because of the early hour or if you’re normally a bit reserved, but you seem like a very quiet person. Quiet, yet with a strong energy.
