Hello everyone, how are you? I hope you're all doing well. Speaking of collections, during the pandemic, I had a collection of idol postcards, especially of SM Entertainment artists. During the pandemic, I became interested in K-pop again. I'd forgotten about it before. This is my second wave of rekindling my love for idols, especially SM Entertainment artists.

That's how it's been going until now. But things are a little different now. I only listen to their latest music and variety shows. I want to tell you about the pandemic. Back then, I bought idol postcards, both original ones I received as gifts and unofficial ones.

I probably have over 50 postcards collected. Most of them are of Aespa. During the pandemic, Aespa was a new girl group that had just debuted. Why do I collect them? It's simple: they work hard to pursue their dreams.

Looking back, being a trainee at SM Entertainment isn't easy. It takes years to debut as an idol. They also teach us the importance of working hard to achieve our dreams. No matter how hard and difficult it is, we need to make it happen.

Whose postcards have I collected the most? Back during the pandemic, NCT and Aespa were popular. So, my postcards are from those two groups. NCT isn't a small group. There are more than 20 members in the group. They split into smaller groups.

In NCT, I like Ten, the Thai idol who speaks many languages. I know learning a language isn't easy. I learned from Ten how to overcome limitations and fears. So, I collect quite a lot of Ten's photos. On my phone, I used to take lots of photos of my findings from those postcards.

Where are those postcards? I gave them to my younger cousin. I've stuck the rest on my bedroom wall and in my notebook. As a reminder that my dreams need to be realized no matter what. That's all I can tell you from this story. What do you think?
