— "until the day i come back again, please, remember a lot of stories. and then be sure to tell me about them."

— "life is a series of encounters and farewells. i believe we grow in the process. for now, it is very sad but we will meet again. we can hope for that day to come soon, and we will be able to greet each other with much bigger welcome."

— "i became winter, warmer than i expected."

— "time goes by. it is just slower when you are having a hard time. if you try to enjoy the time, everything will be alright."

— "it’s alright. even birds take breaks from flying sometimes. if you’re frustrated, nothing will work out. you have to think that it’ll all go well."

— "cry out loud once. look in the mirror and shake it off. i’ve cried like that before and others will have times like that too. cheer up. you are not alone."

— "when your tears are falling, just let them shed. i wish you’ll think of it as if a weight inside your heart is getting out of your body drop by drop, just like that."

— "different doesn’t mean wrong."

— "as an entertainer, i feel at loss towards a world that doesn't accept differences."

— "aren’t dreams to be searched for your entire life? i don’t think it’s too late, and having attained your dream isn’t everything either. it’s the process (that you go through to get it) that’s more important."

— "the thing about a dream is that, even if you don't realize it, it doesn't mean that your life is a failure. of course if you can make it come true, it is something happy. but if it doesn't, the effort and spirit you put into (realizing it) aids your growth too. having a dream is a great thing, but it's not compulsory to have one."

— "don’t worry about what to do, i’m alright, spring will come to me too"

— "i’m not there already, in your today; you may never see me again; tomorrow becomes yesterday again; even if we can’t ever meet again; even if we have different tomorrows; just for a day, please i wish we were together; just for a day, oh just for a day"

— "even though we can't communicate using the same language, we use music instead."

— "'everyone lives like that. you’re not the only one having a hard time.’ these words... i think it’s the most wrong way of consolation in the world. the comparing with the other opponent, with different people. you know how there are these words? 'live with the courage to die'; well... these words? i think it’s the worst way of consolation, comfort. to someone who’s having a hard time, someone who’s gloomy/depressed, to an exhausted person, to say: 'when you get these thoughts, think of..., when you get those thoughts, courageously, do something different, ya, right now, since you’re having a hard time like that: you’re exhausted, tired and having negative thoughts; i think it’d be good to quickly put that energy on the move and quickly take care of the work you need to get done'. to be honest, that person was aware of this too. they already know it’ll be solved by quickly moving on. they really immensely wish for it to be that way. however, it’s not working that way. there’s another thing other than the body’s wounds that you can't see with your own eyes: it’s the heart’s wounds and, because of that, when comforting someone, i think one should think of how there’s certainly another existence, something that my eyes can’t see. of course, me too, while talking about this, since there are certainly words i gave to someone and wounds i’ve received from someone, i wanted to complain and talk a bit about this to our dear listeners. when comforting someone, rather than consoling them by comparing, whether comparing them to yourself or another person’s situation, i think it’d be nice to just have a talk about that person, them solely."

— "even when going through the same stress, it's impact can be very different from one person to another. you'd have one who'd feel burdened over something, but the other one who's indifferent to this same thing. one just shouldn't judge badly the person who's indifferent since they probably have their own moments where it becomes stressful for them too. it's our differences in dealing with certain situations."

— "i’m not someone who throws things away easily. i’m preparing to move house and i wonder if my mom is having a hard time (with that). she told me, “no matter how important it is to hold on to memories, when it’s time to let them go, you have to let them go."

— "i think it’s okay to feel lost in your life. i think it’s okay not to reach that final goal (in your life). you may earn things while being lost or could make something out of it through the emotions you feel. i think it should be your judgement. you don’t have to make someone else judge the satisfaction of your life. i hope that you don’t feel too anxious about feeling lost in your life."

— "i hope that you believe that these bitter days of crying alone will prove to be the most beautiful days of your life. you’ll realize, with time, that your life is actually pretty alright. i promise you. in fact, i’ll write you a guarantee! the most beautiful thing in all the world is right now. this moment. you. don’t ever forget that."

— "to be able to debut as shinee with the members was my good fortune. it has reached the extent to which i wonder if all the good luck in my life has been used up because of this. regardless, the fact that the five of us were able to meet is more important than anything."

— "there is no shortcut to perfection. all it takes is hard work and more hard work."
