The show wrapped an hour later.
Tanaka-san closed out the segment by asking the members to leave a message for Japanese Gleams.
Jisoo went first after consulting with Minjae on the words to say.
Minjae spoke directly after.
"Minasan no atatakasa ga, zutto kokoro ni nokoru to omoimasu[1]."
The interpreter stayed quiet.
The audience responded.
Taekyung went next.
He was quiet for a moment, looking at the audience.
Then through the interpreter he said: "You came here today, and you made noise, and you made this room feel real. That is not a small thing. Thank you."
Short. Precise. The audience responded more than he probably expected and he accepted it with a single nod.
Doyun leaned toward the interpreter.
"Tell them I will be back," he said in Korean, "and next time I will also bring better pasta."
The interpreter translated.
Taekyung closed his eyes briefly.
Haejin spoke last, through the interpreter.
