The letter of Kwon Ji Yong’s mother to Kwon Ji Yong
Son, I have been seeing the tiring shadow of you these days because you are troubled by so many things, I am feeling so bad too.
It has been 10 years for you to have entered in the showbiz but when I saw you are tortured by the scandals, I also want to cry. I am afraid that if I shed tears, you will forgive everything, so I decided to hold my tears back.
In my eyes, you are such an adorable and cute son; therefore, I am alwasy indifferent to the people who are sceptical towards you. The reason why I am writing this letter to you is: I am feeling something that I have never felt before so I want to tell you what it is.
When I see that you are pampered with love by your fans, I think that even though the glory of being an artist can only last for a short period of time, you have still chosen the right road. However, I know that you always want to bring the fans something new, you should be clear about it more than all of us.Moreover, since you were debutted with the title ‘idol group with skills’, people are paying more attention to you. However, as a leader of such a talented group, you were wearing something which conveys some inappropriate messages,that’s why they are upset about it.
Because I know that it will hurt you if people show their disappointment to you, I have been having insomnia. You are used to getting spoiled by us but now peope hurt you like this, you must be feeling super painful.
However, when I look at you, you do not seem like you are hurt, you are just like the normal you, refreshing and happy. I think, yes, you are my son who can reflect on what he has done and correct his mistakes but whenever I see the passages pinpointing you which are posted on the sites, I really hate them.
But now, when I look back, I feel that they wrote all of these just because you are an artist, a really famous one so eveyone is watching what you are doing. This is something that I have never thought before will bring you pains.At that time, I was only thinking, ‘do people really hate you?’ And I have been wondering why… How can you hate such an adorable kid? However, now, I think like this, ‘since you are already a responsible adult now, it is also good if you can have a chance to reflect upon the mistakes that you have committed.’
After reading my words, you must be thinking that mummy is urging you to say sorry or perhaps you are thinking that I have betrayed you. However, I think these words can only be said by me, your mother. And I hope you can bear these words in your heart.
Therefore, when you gave me your book ‘Shout Out To The World’, when I was reading your story, I felt that you have already done your reflection and you havev your own thinking,too. However, not long time ago, your costume has aroused controversy once again.
Although that was filmmed at your dormitory but since you filmmed it in front of the camera, people all over the country might watch it. You did it again, I was really sad.In my memory, you are a perfect kid, no matter what you do, you pay much attention to perfect them. However, I am wondering whether you have relaxed yourself since you are surrounded by the unconditionl love given by your fans. Concerning the controversies that you have involved in, I am referring to the plagiarism issue and the inappropriate concert content, I know that you must be feeling even more hurt since this is your first solo album but you have sung it in your song as well, ‘if there are uphill moments, there will be downhill ones, too’
I believe my son is not the kind of person who will copy others’ songs but those whoo don’t understand my son well might have such kind of misunderstanding. Therefore, I hope tha no matter what you do in the future, you can be even more hardworking and do not be upset with these things anymore.Moreover, when you saw those comments about your first solo concert and the ranking of the music charts, you must be very confused, right? However, to me, I think you have done something wrong too. You have also felt so, right?
When you are holding a concert with small fans, I think you should not follow your heart 100%, you should also consider them, right?
When you debutted, I was really proud of you since I thought that you were influencing and leading your fans but now, I am thinking that you are led by your numerous fans so I am really sad. You are a person who can move the hearts of millions of people, please don’t give up. Don’t expect that fans will keep on giving you their unconditional support and love, grow up by yourself, okay, son? I will always stand by you and cheer you up.
Ji Yong ah,
Mummy always trust you, love you.
I hope that you can develop into a person who is humble and can accept the criticism from others. There is still a long way to go, will you show us your new sides in the days to come?
Mum is anticipating this more than any of your fans, please don’t forget it.
