This time will all become memories, and when I look back later, I will definitely be smiling. I will visit you in a cool soldier's appearance when I get on leave. Thank you so much, CARAT (SEVENTEEN's fans). I love you. I will go with energy! Please love the new song 'TAKE A SHOT' released at 6 PM.'
