[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Seong-yeol] Momo of the idol group TWICE has shared her feelings with fans for the first time since confirming her relationship with Kim Heechul.

On the 6th, Momo posted a lengthy handwritten letter on TWICE's official fan page to send New Year's greetings to fans.

In the letter, Momo opened by saying, "I have so much I want to say that I'm not sure if I can organize it well, but I wanted to write a letter, so here I am," and added, "I keep thinking about all the memories I've made with ONCE (TWICE's fan club) so far."

She continued, "Every year, the memories with ONCE were different, and the things that remained in my heart were different too," and stated, "In 2020, my goal was to give back more happiness and memories to ONCE, who gave me so much happiness and memories in 2019, and to communicate more."

She then expressed, "I am truly sorry for surprising ONCE right at the start of 2020," and revealed her cautious feelings, saying, "Honestly, I thought a lot about writing this letter. I worried if this would hurt ONCE even more. I wondered if I should just stay quiet, but I wanted to communicate with ONCE in my own way."

Momo, who became an entertainer because she loves dancing and singing, also shared that communicating with ONCE is fun and makes her happy, and that filming and editing videos for ONCE is not work but something she does because she enjoys it.

She said, "I don't want to boast about how much I do, but I wanted to say once that I think about ONCE this much," and expressed her love for fans by saying, "I want to be a greater source of strength for ONCE. You are always proud and precious to me."

Finally, she concluded the letter by saying, "I want to create happier memories for ONCE in the future. I am always sorry and sincerely thankful," and added, "I'm not very good at expressing myself in words, but thank you for reading this long letter until the end. Happy New Year, ONCE."

Earlier, on the 3rd, Momo of TWICE and Kim Heechul of Super Junior acknowledged that their relationship had developed from a senior-junior relationship in the music industry to a romantic one. Fans are sending their support for their love, which has overcome a 13-year age gap and nationality differences.
