And according to the hosting fan, Minji herself showed up to the venue on the first day of the event, handing over a bag of home-baked cookies and handwritten postcards.

Minji personally left these in front of the café… 😭
She even included cookies she baked herself and letters…

The cookies Minji left will be given out on a first-come, first-served basis!!!!

Minji… I love you, I miss you… 😭

The postcards, all sharing the same message, offered glimpses of Minji’s life as she navigates the situation with ADOR.

Hi, Bunnies. Have you all been doing well?? Have you been eating well? I’m curious hehe. It’s May. It feels like one of those seasons when everything blossoms just like you imagine.
I heard that again this year, lots of Bunnies gathered to celebrate my birthday! I felt like I couldn’t miss out either!! So with that in mind, I baked some cookies. I hope you enjoy them. Please only take one cookie each!! So the Bunny visiting after you can have some too… And if possible, eat them today!! That way they’ll taste the best. I’m always so thankful to you, Bunnies… There are so many things I want to say right now… A truck full!!!I can only hope we’ll have another good opportunity to meet again soon. I’m already looking forward to it!

P.S. Here are some pictures I took when I had the chance! P.P.S. Thanks for celebrating my birthday, I love you.

To Bunnies 🙂

Hi Bunnies!! It’s really been a long time hehe. Have you all been doing well~? It’s already been a year since I spent my birthday with Bunnies last year…!! This year, I tried what I couldn’t last year and prepared cookie gifts!! I think I baked about 500 of them… hehe. Please make sure to take only one cookie each~ If possible, eat it on the day you receive it. That’s when it’ll taste the best!! My dear Bunnies, I wonder if you’re doing well, and I’m curious about you all~ Are Bunnies curious about what I’ve been up to too?? I hope I get to sit and talk to you all for four hours again. Waiting for those days… Thanks for celebrating my birthday with me! See you again!

PS. The photos are B cuts, but I included them anyway.
