He had a taekwondo cat cake he felt bad cutting it so he ate from the back. It was chocolate cake which is one of his favourites. He lighted the candles and made a long wish but the candles went out before he could blow on them so he restarted. 😭 He said he really wants his wish to come true so he won’t share it.
Jungwon showed his cactus ‘Gardenie’ he had since debut, the belift lab staff took care of it so it’s in good shape.
They had choreo practice earlier today and he dance teachers and members greeted him for his birthday. Their schedule ended late yesterday so the members woshed him happy birthday then too.
He saw that engenes made a song for him for his birthday (*it was [this from his chinabar](https://youtu.be/0tqt8aclsUs?si=OBdELqCAjYXJok1A)*) he said he doesn’t get touched easily but he saw the aong as he reached the dorms and he was shocked and felt so full of gratitude not sure how to repay it. He felt that engenes really love him and the song was really well made.
The staff prepared a game of guessing who the birthday message is from on handwritten post-its (6 from the members and 4 from the staff). He guessed all of them correctly.
He recognised Sunoo’s and Ni-ki’s handwriting, Heeseung, Sunghoon and Jake’s way of speaking (Heeseung uses cute words, Sunghoon is the only one who calls him leadernim and Jake’s had yoi with some english). He counted 6 member messages and was confused on who is missing because it wasn’t 7, he even looked at a group picture to figure out who he forgot he got stressed 😭
He saw the birthday cafes in front of hybe and he said he understands fans want to see and greet him but there are a lot of people having to work normally and it’s cold so he’s grateful for just engenes heart. (*Sounded like a kind way of telling people to go home and not crowd in front of the hybe building to me..*)
Jungwon said that as you age the excitement about birthdays slowly disappears, but seeing engenes enjoying his birthday going to cafes, it makes him happy and satisfied. He was happy to spend his birthday more calmly and relaxed on his BD live, since he hasn’t had a BD swhen they didn’t have a schedule until now, last year they were on a jacket shooting on his BD.
He called the members who greeted him and asked engenes to greet Jungwon a lot too. Jay picked up slowly, Jungwon said he’s not picking up his phone well lately maybe he’s going through puberty 😭 he said Jay’s voice is different after he put him on loud speaker vs when he was just talking to him. Jake was having a nap and was super sleepy when Jungwon called him. Ni-ki was with Sunghoon and asked Jungwon to approve his bd pics olhe sent to their groupchat 😭. Sunoo didn’t pick up, he tried like 3 times and was sulky, and said he will call back right away when he sees it. Taehyun (TxT) sent him a message on kakaotalk asking what he was doing.
ssmeone asked who will he go watch the Baby shark movie with and he said when he has a chance he will go with Sunghoon because him and Sunghoon are like the two that likes going to the movies.
He thanked engenes for being able to spend the day happily and wished everyone happy new year.
