Renowned artist Seo Taiji, at the age of 51, has opened up about his life over the past year in a yearly Christmas post he shares on Instagram, on December 24 this year.

In his post, Seo Taiji greets his dedicated fandom with a cheerful Christmas message. Reflecting on the passing of another year, he shares, "Already a year has swiftly gone by. I've aged a bit, and I'm sure many of you were eager to hear from me."

Seo Taiji goes on to acknowledge the concern sparked by his previous year's post, where he noted that he lost his sense of smell due to the Coronavirus, clarifying that there was no need for unnecessary worry. Delicately expressing his sentiments, he reveals that the past year has been spent cherishing moments with family, especially as a time to draw closer to his parents. He acknowledges that the previous post may have conveyed a heavier tone than intended, expressing his gratitude to his fans for their unwavering support.

The artist, who married actress Lee Eun Sung in 2013 and welcomed their daughter, Jung Dam, the following year, assures fans that his family is doing well. "Our family is doing fine, especially with Dam growing up. She spends quality time with her grandparents, creating a strong bond," he shares. Seo Taiji expresses his deep appreciation for the overwhelming response to the recent 25th-anniversary concert screening, where fans showed up in large numbers. "It was a bit nerve-wracking, considering it was an old performance, but your presence was truly touching," adding on his gratitude towards his fans.

Reflecting on 2023, Seo Taiji describes it as a year filled with relatively modest everyday experiences. However, he emphasizes his focus on family health and humorously acknowledges the signs of aging, jokingly suggesting that his devoted fans might be experiencing similar changes.

In a more personal revelation, Seo Taiji shares his newfound commitment to fitness, stating, "I never paid much attention to exercise, but now, with aging catching up, I feel like if I don't, I might fail at eternal life and die soon." He humorously underscores his evolving perspective on health and well-being.

Seo Taiji discusses the challenges of moving as his daughter changed schools, playfully recounting his unexpected role as a handyman in the process. He adds a light-hearted touch by sharing a humorous anecdote from his daughter's recent report card, highlighting a familiar critique of being easily distracted and mischievous, drawing parallels to his own childhood.

In addition, his curiousity about MBTI leads the family to take the personality test together, with Seo Taiji revealing his personality type as INTJ. Reflecting on the experience, he marvels at the systematic classification of personalities and candidly admits areas for personal improvement.

In conclusion, Seo Taiji expresses a newfound motivation to dream bigger in the coming year. He encourages his fans not to tire in the passage of time and to pursue and achieve many dreams together. He closes with warm wishes for everyone to have a healthy and memorable 2024, pledging to carry the memories and hopes shared with his followers into the new year.
