Hello, this is Chen.

How are you all doing in this weather with its drastic temperature changes?

The hot summer has passed, and it's already autumn.

The reason I am writing this today is to

inform you all of my enlistment news on October 26th.

During my service, I will fulfill my duty in good health, both physically and mentally, so that I can greet you all with a more grown-up appearance.

In the meantime, I hope you all will also

stay beautiful and healthy as you are now!

I am always thankful and I love you ♡
