THE OLYMPIANS

People love you for your qualities which make you distinct and unique from others. These qualities you have are what makes you the boy you are now, and these are the main reasons why I started and continue to love you. In each Olympian God and Goddess, I see some of the best qualities they possess within you. To be specific about it, actually, I see the things I love about them in you.

Genuine. Seeing you being the idol and leader you are or just being the soft, sweet, and caring Lee Taeyong off-stage, you've always been so genuine with everything. With your feelings, your actions, your words, and just you in general.

Filled with color and joy. You've always been a smiley, bright boy. Despite the fact that you have the need to turn out as a cold and a serious person since you're the leader, I'm glad your side which is filled with color and joy has never faded and is still evidently shown, evidently there.

The sun. With that side of you, you remind me of the sun. The sun which always makes the day even brighter, like how you make the days of the people around you (and mine too) even brighter. After all, the day wouldn't be itself without the sun, without you.

Ideal. Ethereal. You are ideal, with you being the ethereal boy you are on the outside and the beautiful boy with the biggest heart on the inside. Your visuals and talents are what makes you shine at first glance, and your personality is what truly makes you shine even more.

Independent. With you being NCT's leader, I've always seen your independent side. The fact that you're here working on your own, away from your family, to be able to fulfill your dreams just shows how much of an independent boy you are.

Energetic. With your performances, your adventures, or even just your lives on Vlive with the members, you are one energetic boy. It makes me happy seeing you all excited especially on the NCT Life seasons wherein you go on adventures. Seeing you getting energetic because you'll see and learn new things in different places, with that serving as your healing time as well, makes me feel relieved.

Youthful. Eventhough you're really... 23... It surprises me how youthful you still look (I swear you don't look your age, you look a bit younger) and how much of a soft baby you can be, which at the same time is very endearing to me.

Confident. It makes me glad how confident you are. It's those times when you're out there performing, you're having interviews, you're going overseas, and even when you learn new words in different languages, that I see your confidence coming out. I know you tend to be easily flustered and you're somewhat a shy boy, but at the same time, I really see how much of a confident boy you are.

Emotionally strong. I know you've been through a couple of emotionally challenging parts of your life, but despite those times, you never let that get to you and instead, made it a goal to be a better version of yourself. It makes me really happy that eventhough there may be negativity coming across you, you never let that win and you're still a strong person.

Wise. You're wise not only intellectually, not only with your talents of writing lyrics or choreographing, but with your decisions as well. I could say that you are mature and wise in making your decisions in life. You always consider other people or other things in making these, that what you decide to do is for the good or for the better.

Courageous. Except in that horror house incident in NCT Life Osaka, I see you as a courageous boy. You are courageous in terms of having your job as the leader. I know you're not the oldest member, and taking care of your members as well as making sure everyone is well guided, while at the same time you're working for yourself, may be quite a hard job for you. I admire you for being courageous enough to own up to this role and for being the best leader as you can be.

An inspiration. You are a role model, an inspiration, a motivation, not only to me but to a lot of people, as well as your members themselves. Many people look up to you, and I'm glad I'm one of those people. I look up to you for your passion towards what you're doing, your strength, your talent, and for you being the most caring, loving boy who makes sure everything is going well and is okay. I look up to you for having a heart as big as the universe, and for staying very humble despite the many achievements you've been gaining.

Persistent. I always see how persistent you are in working really hard to do your best. I look up to you for that, and you inspire me to be just as persistent as you are.

Nurturing. As people often notice and say, you're that mother figure in NCT. I see that with how much you care for your members, and how much of a nurturing leader you are. You always make sure that everything's in place, and that they're all well.

Exhibits motherly love and care. Just as I mentioned, the way you show your love and care for the members, especially to the younger ones, somehow depicts how a mother would do such. You're really the mom of NCT, and I admire you for being such a kind-hearted one.

Serene. I always get this sense of peace when it comes to you, and you make me feel calm and at ease. You're a very calm person yourself, and that makes me associate serenity with you even more.

Well-centered. You're a boy with a clear mindset on what you want to do, and what you want to achieve. You're very well-centered, you know your goals and you set your plans straight. You're wise in making decisions, and you're very well-rounded as well.

Home. I've always felt a homey vibe towards you, and you making me feel like you're my home just adds up to that even more. You're the definition of someone's home, my home. With you, it feels like I'll never feel bad, I'll never feel dull.

Mature. In making decisions, in being the leader, and just you in general, I find you really mature. This comes with you being wise. Despite not being the oldest member, you still managed to be the mature leader you are. A lot of people look up to you for being that way, even your own members.

Has captivating eyes. Your eyes have always been one of your most distinct facial features, and they're one of the features that I first noticed. They always say that the eyes are the door to someone's inner self, and your eyes really are one of your features that shine the most. It stuns me how your eyes' expressions could change easily. When you're onstage, it's really strong and fierce, while when you're offstage, it instantly turns into soft and endearing eyes. I love your eyes so much, and I hope you know how beautiful they are.

Kind. Despite people's first impressions of you being a cold boy, who you truly are is very far from that. You're a soft, kind, warm-hearted boy, and that makes me endeared with you even more. That makes people fall in love with you even more.

Loving. Even though I've gotten to know you for only a few months, I've always seen you as a very loving person. The way you constantly show your love towards other people makes me really happy, and I'm glad you make others feel loved. I hope you feel loved yourself, Taeyong. You deserve it, the most.

Has love for his work. I admire how much you love your work, a whole lot. Even though things may get tiring and schedules may get too tight, you never give up and you just go on. It just shows how much you enjoy your work and that you're really meant to be doing what you're doing right now. How much you love your work inspires me to love the things I study for my future right now, and to love my future college course. With that, you also motivate me to do my best to achieve my goal of reaching the course I love.

Clever. By clever, I could say that you're really witty. I saw this the most during NCT Life in Osaka, wherein you, Doyoung, and Taeil were having scenarios as students from Hogwarts. I just really found you funny and witty with your comebacks, and that made me love you even more.

Graceful. Your way of dancing has always caught my eyes. Even though your dancing style isn't really the light type, but rather the type to emphasize movements in a strong way, you still end up looking graceful. I love your dancing style, and it always leaves me in awe with how talented you are.

Cheerful. I love seeing you smile, and it makes me glad that I get to see that often. You're a very cheerful person, whose smile alone could brighten up someone's day in an instant. I love seeing you getting cheerful and just full of glee especially when you're excited, it makes me feel the joy you're feeling too.

Unpredictable. You never fail to surprise me with the things you do. Just when I thought that you couldn't be even more talented, I find out more talents you apparently possess. Just when I thought you wouldn't get any more lovable, you once again prove me wrong. You're really unpredictable, and that amuses me.

Responsible. As a leader and as a person in general, I’ve seen how responsible you are in the things you do. You’re really the type to always do your tasks on time and never get lazy to do so. Along with your hardwork is your responsibility, and this makes you an even more great of a leader than you already are.

A leader. I admire you for being a really great leader, Taeyong. I know this job may be challenging and pressuring at times, because youβ€˜re the center of attraction and the β€˜face of the group’, and it’s important to give out a good impression of your group among others, through you. It’s also your job to make sure your members are always well guided, and I know you’re doing a great job with that. It makes me happy how you’re handling being a leader very well, and this is also one of the reasons why I look up to you very much.

Creative. It makes me glad and proud on how creative you are in many aspects. When you were designing the plant pots during your visit in Bangkok, I saw how creative you were with art. That made me really impressed and amazed because I didn’t know you had a talent with that too. You’re very creative when it comes to composing lyrics too, and those lyrics really come from your heart (like your rap from Yestoday). I see your creative side as well when it comes to you helping with choreographing and even when you choreograph on your own. You have so much talents, and that’s something to be proud of.

Calm, like the sea. You’ve always given me a calm and chill vibe, and that’s what makes me feel calm too. You’re such a soft boy, and that gives me an impression of you being calm, just like the sea. The sea is really great to look at especially in the morning. Looking at it makes me feel at ease, makes me love it even more. The feeling I get when I look at the sea is the feeling I get whenever I look at you. Calm, at ease, safe.

Dependable. It’s always been evident that you’re the type of person who others can count on. This all goes back to you being a leader. I’ve seen that you constantly help the members to improve as you improve yourself too, and that just shows how they can count on you when they need your help. You’ve always been very helpful, from you helping out with song lyrics to even you helping Sicheng cook his dish when he obviously didn’t know what he was doing. You’re really a dependable person, and that motivates me to be that kinda of person too.

Physically strong. I know the idol life is hard because you practice literally the whole day every single day and along with that, you tour and promote non-stop. There are times that you may get really tired, but despite that fact, I admire you for being a strong boy. Even though your schedules are tight and you have a lot going on in your work, it leaves me in awe with how you cope up with that and continue the things you have to do. In times wherein you experience pain in your body because of too much work, I hope you take a break and rest. I hope you don’t overwork yourself much. I know you’re strong, but you deserve a break too.

Beautiful, inside and out. You’ve always been praised for your good looks, and in all honesty, you really do look beautiful and ethereal. You’re often being told that you like a real-life anime, and your visuals really do amaze me. I mean, how can a boy look that beautiful? Along with your outer beauty, I also see how beautiful you are on the inside. You have such a beautiful personality, a beautiful heart. You’re one of the most genuine people I know, and that makes my heart really warm. You truly are beautiful, Taeyong. Your beauty shines bright on the outside, and shines the brightest on the inside.

Passionate. I really love how passionate you are towards the things you do. You’ve always been fully invested and whole-heartedly passionate about your job, and I look up to you for being so. I always see that passion in you while performing in your eyes. I see how passionate you are as you dance, as you rap, and as you go up there onstage and perform. This is another thing that I look up to you for, and I hope one day, I’d be as passionate with the things I’m doing as you are.
