To readers in Japan
Hello, I am Ha Tae-wan.
I heard that my book "Every Moment Was You" has surpassed 100,000 copies in Japan.
For me, who is currently struggling quite a bit with military life,
this news feels like a reward.
As someone who still believes in the healing power of writing,
I am deeply moved that I was able to write something comforting to so many people.
I don’t know how long or how loudly my voice will reach someone,
but here and now, I want to sincerely thank the Japanese readers
who cry and laugh together with what I have written.
Even if our cultures and languages differ, I feel it is an undeniable fact
that we can empathize with some common issues.
I hope what I write will continue to be a small comfort in your daily lives.
These are difficult times for everyone because of COVID-19,
but I hope each of you can find something precious that is uniquely yours.
Though from afar, I am cheering for you with all my strength here in Korea.
――Ha Tae-wan

Only you
If you keep inside your chest
the words spat out by people who don’t even know what kind of person you are
just to hurt you,
in the end, the one who breaks down will be you.
So please don’t break.
I want you not to get hurt.
* * * * *
In the end, you will win
If you greedily try to be the top unconditionally in everything,
you will surely collapse under that pressure.
You are neither more nor less than that.
Just do what you can now.
People who point fingers saying you lack ability
are only those who look down on others.
You just need to keep doing what you can as best as possible,
rising little by little, really little by little.
The most important thing is
to do your best in the moment and situation.
It doesn’t matter if you lose.
If you keep looking up and improve little by little,
in the end, the one who wins
will be you.
