Today is the day you guys have been reminding us about. We are sending Yoon Dujun off today. Despite of the short notice, he tried his best to reach out to us. Thank you, for always thinking of us Lights. I’ll cheerish our memories and will be right here when you are back.

When Junhyung said it’s too hard to take a picture of Dujun’s back at that moment, I truly understand what he felt now.

06.09.2018 - First 4/5 of Highlight performance.

Third week since our 1/5 enlistment. Hence, a little throwback to what got me into K-pop, 8 years ago.

Sometimes, I forgot that Dujun is already in the army. Until I saw another photo of him in his uniform with his squad and it hits me. Ah those are real photos of him and not something from the filming set. Surreal.

Away, but always around.

Looking at your back this time around make me feel proud instead of sad. Congratulation our Yoon-leader on completing the basic training. You have work hard, and I know you will continue doing so.

Oh, and congratulation on getting the abs Juni told us about.

Another word for brotherhood is, Highlight.

𝐇𝐀𝐏𝐏𝐘 𝟗𝐓𝐇 𝐀𝐍𝐍𝐈𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐀𝐑𝐘, 𝐇𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐋𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓

Thank you for the wonderful 9 years. I can assure you, I’m already looking forward to our 11th. Let’s keep counting the numbers up, every year, on this particular 1016.

HILIGHT, together forever.

We’ll be sending off another 1/5 of Highlight for enlistment. Though this is not the first time, the feeling is unfamiliar still. But hey, we will make good use of the time we have until 24th January 2019 and cherish every single one of them while you are away, our Yang Yoseob.

Take care, you too.

When you released Take Care, I’m more than thankful. Being able to listen to 4/5 of my favourite familiar voices, it’s still beautiful. But hey, as usual, you always give us more than we deserve. An album, one last one, before the two years begin. A complete 5/5 album. Thank you.

Never did I have slightest doubt in you, and that my loves, will never change. I trust you, always.

Presence, in absence.

“I don’t want to be forgotten, come back to me.”

I don’t want to forget either, come back to me.

I’ll wait
For the five of you
For the Intro
And for me to be part of this.

Chuka-chuka-chu Yoseob and Yong on being nominated for Album Daesang and Digital Daesang respectively at Golden Disc Awards!

(And no black and white photos cause this is a celebration )

My happiness, my Highlight.

Our most favourite playlist controller on the entire universe.

You have work hard. Please have a good rest and do whatever you wish to do. Thank you for everything, and we love you!

These two are really going miles together. Inseparable. Looking forward to see both of them in their police uniform. Yang Yoseob and Lee Gikwang, our favourite minion.

“Everyone has to be happy”

Being able to catch a glimpse of your performance yesterday in your uniform took me on a rollercoaster of emotion. But a happy one. Even when I cried yesterday, those are the happy tears.

Highlight, a sense of comfort. A home.

𝐇𝐀𝐏𝐏𝐘 𝐁𝐈𝐑𝐓𝐇𝐃𝐀𝐘 𝐘𝐀𝐍𝐆 𝐘𝐎𝐒𝐄𝐎𝐏

Thank you for blessing us with your wonderful vocal, and it has always been a comfort to us. May you too, find comfort in our presence.

And it’s about time you share with us your secret. Where is the fountain of youth?

Yong-ah,

It’s okay to cry. It’s okay to feel frustrated. Every feelings you feel, does matter. And we’ll be here to comfort you.

We love you, through the ups and downs. Through happiness and sadness. For not just the good but also the flaws within you. We love you, for you.

I’ve miss you guys a little more than usual these past few days. The feeling grow as I’m typing this, and I hope it grows as the time passes. I miss you, I love you.

Serve well for your country, and come back safely. We’ll wait here patiently and cherish our memories while you are away.

After the two years past, we’ll meet again with the brightest smile across our face.

Thank you for the past 10 years, and thank you for forever.

It didn’t get any easier each times. But, I’ll focus on counting down to the day we’ll finally meet again. Till then, be happy and stay healthy, both Highlight and Lights.

Slowly accepting the fact that it’s hard to get 5/5 in one picture these days, and for the next two (2) years maybe.

My precious 남자.

Will be sending this one off too on 18/04/2019. They said third time is the charm, but I don’t think it’s applicable in this situation. Will it be less harder this time? Definitely not.

It has been three weeks, without Instagram notifying me about his post. The little things.

But glad he’s doing (extremely) well in training. Our pride.

I am very much aware that this is going to happen, soon enough. It was not easy, and not getting any easier either.

Isn’t our Yang the cutest?! And his pose kinda remind me of YoonDu somehow.

Oh Lord I miss seeing 5/5 of Highlight.

My favourite live version of Ribbon. Always make me miss them even more.

“Choose what you choose to believe”

Saw this one phrase randomly yesterday, when it was the hardest. It’s a whisper of strength, that I needed. Thank you.

Five

highlight_dw has always been my safe space. Knowing that I can go there anytime and feel your presence even when you are not around.

But it’s okay. Cause what best for you, is best for us too. After all, we’ll still meet at other places anyway. As per your promise.

𝐇𝐀𝐏𝐏𝐘 𝐁𝐈𝐑𝐓𝐇𝐃𝐀𝐘 𝐋𝐄𝐄 𝐆𝐈𝐊𝐖𝐀𝐍𝐆

From Dancing Shoes to D.C.Y.E, thank you for always blessing us with amazing content. And nope, I’m not talking about your abs alone pfft nope.

You are such a wonderful person. Keep being you, cause we love you as you are.

Sending the 3/5 of Highlight for enlistment today. It’s oddly harder this time, as we didn’t get to greet each other properly before enlistment.

But things will get better when we meet again. I’ll wait. I’ll always wait, for all of you. Do well and please take care, our Yong.

역시 우리 윤두준! 추가 추가 추!

My very first bias ever, the one that first got me this deep into kpop, will be releasing his first mini album 10 years after debut. I am so proud of you Dongni Pongni, always.

And for releasing this before your enlistment, thank you. You have always work hard.

Kwang-ah, today is already the day right? For your enlistment, for our temporary separation.

But time will pass by very quickly too. Without we realise, it will be the day we meet again.

Serve well Kwang-ah, and take care. Thank you for the past precious 10 years. Love you.

Their friendship are so precious. Very precious.

Dongwoon-ah,

Over the years, I’ve seen how much you grow. As a person, and as an artist. I am so proud of you, always.

Congrats for your solo album! Keep doing what you love doing. I’ll always support you okay?

Love you Dongni! Just as much as it was years ago & even more.

My fav 1990 liner duo. No doubt.

Hey there, we’ll be sending you off for enlistment in few days. I’ll miss you, so much @beastdw.

Sending 5/5, our Dongwoon.

Thank you for everything. You are the initial reason why I’m here today as a fan. You are my first ever bias, my ultimate.

Please take care and be healthy. In this temporary farewell, please be happy. I’ll wait for you to be back. I promise.

With Dongwoon’s enlistment yesterday, I guess Highlight is officially on hiatus now. But even so, I’m not on hiatus as a fan. This Light will remains bright even in your absence. Cause Highlight’s presence can always be felt through their songs, and that will keep me accompany.

A week and a day later. The first letter.

I miss Highlight. All five of them.

I’ll stick around,
Just like the tattoo on your hand.

𝐇𝐀𝐏𝐏𝐘 𝐁𝐈𝐑𝐓𝐇𝐃𝐀𝐘 𝐒𝐎𝐍 𝐃𝐎𝐍𝐆𝐖𝐎𝐎𝐍

From when we were both teenager, to the adult we are today. I’ve love you this long, and more.

Thank you for letting me see you grow, as a person & artist. Thank you for existing.

From years to forever. Love you, always.

Hello police!

Can’t wait to see Dongwoon in his police uniform too.

My 5/5 in uniform. My Highlight.

I still cried a bucket, every single time I listen to See You There and Ribbon. It’s hard now, but things were harder. Hence, you shall hear no complaint from me.

I should be stronger, I will. I’ll get through this. We’ll get through this.

Counting the days down.

Our football encyclopaedia. The one who associates every little things with football.

I wish for nothing else but your happiness. From your football dreams, to your career & your life. Only good things for our pillar.

It’s only on today’s date that I came to realise how significant an emoji can be. What seems like a little gesture, may actually brings an endless tear of happiness to me. Thank you, our Yong.

Thank you for shaping me into the fan that I am today. I may not be the greatest fan of yours, but I will always try to be the wise one. The one that respect not just the five of you, but others too. The one you can be proud of. Thank you, really.

My two of five looking so fluffy and cute. Hope the other three are doing well too. My boys.

Another change of emoji.

Yong-ah, thank you. I’m not sure if you know this or not, but your emoji really helps me a lot. Thank you.

I’ll wait for the sun to come out again. I’ll wait for the five of you to be together.

Congratulation on your promotion our Yong! I am so proud of you. Always. Do well and take care ya?

And YoonDu, the Korean Army chef(?) show? We didn’t see it coming, but thank you so much our Yoon-leader. Have fun!

Be healthy, and be happy.

To me personally, that’s what matter most at this moment. Your happiness.

Everything will get better. Smiles.

Still here, three hundred and sixty five (365) days later.

Through ups,
and the downs too.
Through happiness,
and also sadness.

Still here, and may it be for forever.

It’s still beautiful.

“If you feel tired, rest instead of stop.”

Hence decided to give myself a break last week. But I’m always here for Highlight.

D-210 until Yoon Dujun is back, let’s get it!

These days, I often found myself skipping your songs when they are on shuffle. I love you guys & I love your songs just as much. But the songs, they are stitch with their own memory respectively and they get me emotional each time. I can cry even while listening to Beautiful.

I started this thread the exact day you got enlisted, and it really has been almost two years since then.

Really happy to have you back our leader! I’ve miss you so much
