I just had a drink, even though I don't usually drink, because I suddenly felt like it tonight. I’m sure all of you have moments when life feels heavy and overwhelming, right? That’s exactly how I’ve been feeling lately.I’ve decided to temporarily hold off on our push to maintain the A1 League. But please know, this is not giving up. It’s just taking a step back to make a bigger leap forward. Recently, our team entered the A1 League at a rapid pace, and we actually defended it well for a few days. However, as I became consumed with defending the league, my streaming hours naturally got longer, and I started noticing several issues. I felt like I was putting too much of a financial burden on our existing teammates, and I could feel the quality of my broadcasts and content dropping.On top of that, I’m not just someone who streams. To communicate better and improve my broadcasts, I’ve started private English tutoring. I also need to consistently create the content I've been working on. Separately from the broadcasts, I truly try my best to communicate personally with everyone who shows me love and support, including our team members. This is because I want to make real friends, and I want to be a good friend to them. There are personal stories that just can't be told on stream. Since I communicate with so many people, I can’t reply as often as I’d like, but I still want to keep trying.Lately, though, I’ve had absolutely no time. I feel so rushed that I haven't been able to focus on my English studies, content creation, or personal communication with our team. Many hosts only communicate with people who give them gifts. Of course, I won't deny that gifters are important. But I believe gifts are something that follow naturally. Instead of expecting gifts first, I believe that if I become a good person and a true friend to them first, the gifts will follow. I also believe that if I provide great content and broadcasts, the support will follow as well.If defending the league means dropping the quality of my streams, disrupting my self-development, and hurting my personal communication with my team, then I know this is the wrong direction. That is why I’ve decided to put maintaining A1 on hold for now. Instead, I’m slightly adjusting our target from the 70–80K needed for A2 to about 80–90K, so we can take things step by step again.I want to say thank you once again to my team members who stay by my side through both the good times and the bad. My dream is just beginning. I won't be a friend you can only see through a screen; I am going to be a real friend to you all. Just watch me.I love you, WOONYTEAM🧡🦊
