After the live they’ll have holiday content shooting, that engenes will like. The concept of his cake is like him scribbling on the duck plushies at the fansigns.
It looks ENGENEs like his birthday more than him, he doesn’t know why. When he was a kids before he debuted his parents would prepare celebrations, restaurant reservations, presents etc. Now since debut it’s not a big event like that it feels more like every other day to him, but engenes take care of celebrating his birthday. He saw cafes and many things engenes prepared for him he’s thankful for them. Yesterday he came to the office to work out and on his way he spotted engenes taking photos with his birthday posters at a nearby bus stop. He saw them from the car and waved to wave but didn’t/couldn’t.
It’s fascinating to think about now how 02z become adults after they debuted, he thought it would feel different to become an adult/be at this age back then. It doesn’t feel different, in korea he has been an adult for 2 years now but even so with him becoming an adult in Japan now it’s interesting.
Since Sunghoon’s birthday is the day before he’d like to do it next year with Sunghoon starting and him taking over after midnight.
About changing his hair: he will change his hair color soon. They shot the album concept photos already, but he’ll change it before they film the MV – the comeback is in January so they will film it soon. It’s a color he hasn’t tried before, it was his suggestion he collected references and showed their team and it was accepted.
He couldn’t do a live last year so this is his first time getting the distorted messages and trying to guess them. He asked the chat how is it and if the hyungs did well guessing them. The comments told him the other members did well guessing.
1. Ah yes my donsaeng (*he stopped it and said it’s Jay, but replayed after the second message*) First, happy birthday, let’s live vigorously!! – he stopped and said it’s Sunghoon on second listen 2. Ni-ki happy birthday! It’s a relief that you don’t eat Tenten anymore, don’t eat it the height is already enough.. Sunghoon hyung’s birthday was yesterday just a day apart from your birthday (..) Happy birthday! Fighting for the rest of the year! – he laughed and said not sure what he’s saying but guess it was Jungwon. 3. Ni-ki very happy birthday. It’s already been 5 years, it’s your 5th birthday celebration. Let’s goeat something delicious (? It was very faint hard to hear) – he said it was a very timid message wondered if it was Sunoo but he wasn’t sure. 4. konbanwa Ni-ki chaaan~ ah Happy birthday! Ni-ki chan hontoni kawaii desune (you are very cute)! Ichumo yoroshiko onegaishimasu (??? *couldn’t hear the middle but jengenes translations were something like: looking forward to always getting along well*) gohan ippai ippai (…) (eat/treat me to lots of delicious food) aishteru oyasuminasai (love you, good night) oh what was happy birthday in japanese… oh tanjobi omedetogozaimasu ni-ki chaan (happy birthday Ni-ki chan) – Ni-ki was laughing so hard as soon as he heard it and kept replaying it, he said it was Jake for sure his accent is very recognisable when speaking japanese even distorted. 5. Hello Ni-ki-ssi Happy birthday! I’ll give you a present (..) let’s pay more attention during practice (?) there isn’t much left but let’s be healthy and do well for the end of the year and Fighting for 2026 too. You’ve grown up well! Happy birthday! – Ni-ki said he talked a lot so it must be Sunoo 6. Eeeh Happy birthday! aaah Our birthday is one day apart, so our engenes call us destinyz it’s really fascinating, celebrating like this for 5 years. Happy birthday! I remember doing our birthday live together at debut, I thought time really flew by, didn’t realize Ni-ki grew up this much eeeh Happy birthday! – he knew it was Sunghoon
He went through to summarize his guesses: 6: Sunghoon, 5: Sunoo, 4: Jake, 3: Heeseung, 2: Jungwon, 1: Jay – he got all of them right.
He had to listen to Jake’s message again (and again) he said he feels like he’ll hear it in his dreams. He found it so funny he said he’ll ask for the recording and post it for engenes on Weverse (and he did!). He said Jake is so funny he could be a comedian, Hybe or Belift should do a youtube channel where he’s the MC it would come out well for sure.

Sorry this was very late again, could only start after work and took about 2 hours haha. I have a problem with my left ear so I’m a bit slower than usual.
