Together Towards The Future

There are seasons of growth, as there are its accompanying growing pains. Acknowledging these moments are what propels movement forward, deepening one's understanding of themselves, what they stand for, and who they live for.

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.
