Actress Kim So-hyun also posted a message along with her photo on Instagram. She said, "I wish everyone a Happy New Year! Many things are going to happen in 2018 and I hope that everyone will be healthy and happy. I was so happy to be loved by all of you again in last year. I will be showing you my improved self this year!! I'll be an actress who always give her all!! I'll be greeting you as Song Geu-rim (from "Radio Romance") in January♥️".
Kim You-jung also followed by her message and a photo on Instagram. Her message reads, "In this new year, I hope it will be a year full of laughter, gifts, and love even more than last year. Last year was a year with many heartaches, but hopefully this year we can smile brighter in a world full of warmth. Love you all! Smile, because if we always smile, it will bring back the blessings to all of us".
Seohyun posted a short message along with a cute video on her Instagram as she wished everyone a Happy New Year.
Yook Sung-jae, who shared the sad news of his backinjury few days ago, also greeted his fans and addressed BTOB's fan club, Melody, on his Instagram. He said, "Hello! It's disappointing that I can't visit you all in this happy season… I am going through a speedy recovery, so don't worry about me! This was another chance for me to feel that there are a lot of people who love and support me. Thank you so much. I won't forget all your cheerful messages and greet you this new year in a better shape! Please continue to love us BTOB this new year as well. Happy New Year, Melody! The picture is unrelated".
Actress Han Seung-yeon posted a casual selfie with a sweet message on her Instagram. "Did everyone spend the first day of the year well? Since this year is a year of the dog, I spent the day servicing our little pups giving full course of a walk, bath, nail care, and a luxurious treat. I wanted to take a picture with them, but since they couldn't stay still, I failed. "Every moment, when it passes, it will be missed. So, there's no reason for me to not enjoy every moment's happiness". This is my motto of 2018. I pray that everyone's year will be full of happiness in every moment!"
As actor Lee Jong-suk is known for his simplicity in his personality, his new year's greeting was also simple. He posted a selfie with a message saying, "Happy New Year".
Our favorite bride of 2017 also greeted the fans on her official Instagram account. In the black and white photo, she is celebrating the new year with a festive cake decorated with 2018 candles.
The Blossom Entertainment artists shared their greeting with each handwritten message. Let's peek at a few:
"You did well in 2017. I hope everyone have a Happy New Year in 2018 and that you enjoy "Along With the Gods: The Two Worlds". Thank you~"
"Everyone!! Hope you have a Happy New Year and enjoy this season".
"2018, the New Year is here! I hope that this year will be a year with new beginnings and everything you do will turn out to be a good fruit. Be happy every day! Blessing to you all". (Along with this sweet message, the netizens are awestruck by how neat and adorable his handwriting is.)
"I pray that everyone can put their sadness behind last year and all the things you hope for will come true in this new year! Always be happy".
"Dear HaJoonSe (Lee Joon-gi's fanclub name. Abbreviation for "Joon-gi's World Under the Sky") family, Hello! It's me, your actor, Lee Joon-gi. It's been a long time since I greeted you last. I thought of you while filming, so I'm greeting you from the set. 2017 has passed and the new year is here. I feel like in 2017, I have regrets not being able to show you a better me but I also feel that it ended well thanks to your love and support. I'm really grateful for all of you. 2018 is a year of dog and you probably know, I'm born in the year of dog. Perhaps that's why, but I have a good feeling about this year. Since it's the year of dog and I'm born in the year of dog, I'll show you a better work and try my best to give you the best gift. I hope that everyone will have only the happiest of time in 2018 and I'll work hard as well. Again, thank you and Happy New Year. Let's all be happy at all time. Thank you, I love you".
