Born in 1995, the K-pop star posted several messages where he playfully greeted his fans, mentioning how it had been long since they last interacted.

“It's already my birthday after getting used to it But I think time went by fast and I think I'm walking slowly, tooㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ It's fast when you turn around, but slow when you look ahead”
