Letter from ONE ITs

2019 is not that bad bcs in this year i know X1. Maybe X1 is not my first idol that i stan bcs i know kpop since jhs which is 9yrs ago but i love them so much. X1 is such a healing for me. I feel empty in my life for almost 10yrs bcs something bad happen in my life. But X1 give me happiness. Watching their cool stage, their gag, their smile, their laugh, it such a healing for me. I hope to see u sooner and longer, X1. Thankyou for bring me happiness. May God bless u all.

ever since i’ve started listening to kpop since 2014, i’ve only focused on exo as my main and supported other groups. i never imagined i’d ever stan a produce group ever so this is kind of new to me. i never watched any produce series while it was airing but i watched pdx101 out of curiosity and that made me fall inlove with seungwoo and seungyoun. at first it was really wooseok and yohan who caught my attention but as i continue watching the show, i started being interested with seungwoo and seungyoun. when they smile during the show, i also smile. when they cry, i also cry. when its already finals, i dont really have the heart to watch it because i know i will end up crying but i got so happy that most of my picks made it! it was hard for me to fully support the group during that day because one of my picks didnt made it. i made up my mind and watched the show again the day after the finals to know why people voted for everyone and that day, i realised that because i was too focused on my picks only, i didnt know there are also other trainees who’s as good as my picks. at first, i dont really want to support the group as a know they are only temporary, but i can’t help it because i got too attached with the boys while watching the show. while waiting for their debut, i kept on researching new informations about them and i watched their vlives and everything. as time goes by, i realised that “wow i am stanning these eleven precious boys!!” everything started because of my curiosity and i never regretted watching the show. i have never been this protective aside from exo. x1 became one of the reasons why i am always smiling and inspired. i am happy throughout the years with exo and i became happier when x1 came into my life. these two groups taught me how to be strong, how not to give up on your dreams and how to be positive whatever situation you are in. i must say that x1 and oneits made my 2019 more interesting and memorable.

i know that what’s happening right now is kind of hard, tiring and frustrating but i just want to say that oneits, thank you for staying in this fandom of us despite the hardships we are going through with x1. i hope we continue supporting and protecting our boys when no one wants to. let’s hold each other’s hands and never let go of it. i believe that this is just the beginning of x1 and they will eventually fly higher after everything that is happening right now. i always believe in x1 because they are my happiness and my light.

may it be 5 years or even forever, i will forever be here for x1 and oneits!

As a Yohan bias but I want to support for all of our boy. Hope them always happy and fly high. Everything will be fine <3

This year has been really tough on me. I quit law school in late 2018 and was suppose to only take a year break but I coudn't go back because I still felt not enough and just trash. I was so devastated to the point where I just wanted to end. I was preparing to sell all my things secretly and give my siblings all the earnings and to help out my parents a bit before I end it. I was so adammant on doing it. It's not that I was sad that I failed school that I wanted to end it. It has been building up for years. Depression and taking medication for it. I couldn't do it anymore. I was tired of drinking some pill to be okay. I was at my breaking point but then I saw these boys. These people who don't know me. These people who were just following their dreams. I admit I have another group I like during the time and why are they not the ones who took this role of being my savior. I was out of kpop for about a year and half and the comeback that I had was with these 11 boys. These 11 boys that gave me a ray of hope. I want to protect them so much because they made me realize a ton of stuff in life. I still am not mentally stable, I still get problems but I have dreams that I want to fulfill before being done with my life. I thank them so much for following their dreams and I wholeheartedly am willing to protect them and be their shield for them to continue their dreams.

Hello my fam. Reading some of your letters got me making my own. I'm loving how tight our family is. Staying together for X1. Fighting for them. Thank you. It's just making me feel emotional like I really found a beautiful fandom. 2019 is not an ordinary year for me. I was heartbroken and depress for nearly half of this year and listening to kpop is my only escape. Thankfully, I came to my senses. I overcome it and started watching PDX eps. The boys literally changed my whole life, specially Han Seungwoo. His voice, his talents. Everything. X1 is my whole pack of happiness. I am very happy to say that I am a proud one it. I'll support them. I'll fight for them! X1 hwaitingggg!

2019 perhaps has been the toughest year of my life. I had my major heartbreak, got pregnant and had a miscarriage, got left behind by the baby daddy, suffered major depression and anxiety and I don't know If I can see the light at the end of the dark tunnel. But gladly I did! People have always asked me what's my secret into making it this far. I always answered a great support system and KPOP!
I'm in the midst of therapy when produce started and at first I don't wanna watch it since I know how survival reality show work but then my friends encourage me to do so and I've read on news articles that CSY ( my boyfriend material ) and LHG ( my life inspo ) will be participating. So, I give the show a try and watched it.
I like everyone and appreciated every kid who participated since I know how hard it is to compete in such shows and how nerve-wrecking mentally draining it is but I rooted for CSY and LHG the most then comes seungwoo and wooseok.
The show and the boys has been my escape and my safe haven for months. The boys, esp. CSY and LHG have always inspired me to do better and to be better as a person. They are one of the few idols who taught me to live a purposeful life.
X1 is also the reason why I came back and started kpop & twitter again. I stopped for more than 2 yrs due to personal choice and reason.
Fast forward to today, I've meet many wonderful one its on my journey and found friends and family in them and I'm so thankful to X1 for bringing us together. I appreciate everyone in our fandom since so far all of you have been very kind and very supportive.
I hope we can stay strong and rise like a phoenix in this adversity.
and let us support X1 till the end.

As a fan that have been stanning kpop groups since 2007, I must say X1 despite them being a temporary group and just debuted, I've never felt so attached and protective of the members before. I knew about the Produce series previously but after watching Boss performance and witnessed how talented Han Seungwoo made me stay and chose him as my pick. It's true while watching, it's nerve wrecking thinking if Seungwoo didn't make it but so happy that he did. It started with being a Seungwoo fan but after watching all of the members interacting with each other, their talents, determination and hard work made me feel that I've stanned the right group. I know the current issue is saddening but mark my words, X1 will be much bigger in the future, they'll fly higher and achieve so much. I also want One Its to please support each other as well and pls no toxic solo stans in the fandom, I've seen worst cases happened due to toxic solo fans 🙏

2019년은 저에게 정말 힘든 한해였어요. 눈을 감으면 그대로 사라져버리길 바랄 정도로 무거운 한해였습니다. 아마도 그래서 평소에 관심이 전혀 한톨도 없던 연예프로를 보게 된 것 같아요. 뭔가 다른 곳에 몰입하지 않으면 너무 우울해질까봐 너무 두려웠으니까요. 그렇게 엑스원을 만났습니다. 파이널에 아이들이 울때, 안 울려고 노력했어요. 객관성을 지키고 쇼처럼 지켜보려고 애썼죠. 태연하게 앉아서 그냥 구경만 하려고 했습니다. 그리고 6개월이 흘렀네요. 많이 배웠어요. 삶은 어디서나 힘들구나. 어린아이이건 어른이건, 많이 경험했든 아직 중학생이든, 세상은 정말 무서울수 있구나..... 하지만 뜻있는 사람들이 힘을 합치면 그런 험난함 속에 더 아름다운 일이 생겨나는거구나.

최선을 다해서 멤버들 지켜내고 사랑한다고 끊임없이 말해주려고 나름의 방법으로 애쓰고 있습니다. 이렇게 훌륭한 웹사이트 만들어주셔서 너무 감사해요. 보통일이 아날텐데, 각 나라 언어로 이렇게 운영되는 게 진짜 너무나 놀랍습니다. 사랑을 갖고 임하면 불가능이 없다는 말을 직접 증명해주고 계시네요. 힘을 보태겠습니다........ 고마워요. 정말로 고마워요. 엑스원 그리고 원잇 여러분.

Hello! My Name is Dearra, from Jakarta, Indonesia. I was born in 1991. I'm into Kpop since 2009, and for more than 8 years learning Korean Language and Korean Culture by internet until I can pass the language proficiency test and became a teacher in an-all-boy school for almost 2 years. I have ever liked many group in Kpop. I have overcome so many rumors, scandals, fanwars, member-changings, member leaving, and disband. Falling into X1 since Produce X 101. June to July I decided to go to Seoul for the 3rd time, because I wanted to visit Paju English Village, where Produce series shooting took places. I visited. And took some pics with the building and produce X. At that time I promised myself not too attached with the program because what I have known from the previous seasons. Until then I saw one of the episode with MOVE team. Lee Hangyul. I was so attached to him from the start. Like I know he was there but I tried to ignore bcs I don't want to idolized before make sure they're in debut line. But the more I know Hangyul the more I fell in love with him. Plus, WE GOT THE SAME BIRTHDAY AND BIRTHMONTH!!! Thats what makes him even more more special! So I was really hoping him to get into debut line. While I was following produce X, I learn about Hangyul, his past and his life and after everything I got, I know I love him with all I have. No matter how old I am. Lee Hangyul is somehow giving hope to all my desperate dream. Maybe because we're under the same day and month? Or maybe he is just he is? I don't know. What I know, without realization I fell deep into him and keep falling. He might seems so strong and careless but he's actually sensitive and caring. He might seems so lazy but he holds a strong will inside his dream. He might seems so laid back but he gets nervous often about decision he should made. Lee Hangyul might looks like a strong hyung for almost all trainee, all members, but in my eyes Lee Hangyul is a soft cute little-brother -like figure who's also sometimes needs affections. Seeing him carelessly going out in this 'hiatus' situation were his way to say 'i am okay you can see me that i am here smiling'. He will do that often only to get indirect notice. He will do what makes people happy to make himself happy. He plays a lot. he loves a lot. To be honest X1 is the hardest group I've stan in around this decade. They're just have 3 months old from debut date but forced to stay under the shadow and took blame from everyone. This is the hardest group I ever stan yet I don't want to take a step back, instead I want to hold each and everyone of them and told them everything will be okay. God is good and All is well. 2020 will be X1 year. ONE IT WILL OUTSOLD ALL FANMEETINGS, ALBUMS, CFs, MAGAZINES, EVENTS, ANYTHING X1 RELATED BECAUSE THATS WHAT X1 DESERVE! X1 IS LOVED BY SO MANY! ONE IT WILL TURN THE TABLE FOR X1 AND WE WILL HOLD HANDS TOGETHER. WALK SIDE BY SIDE. PROTECTING. SUPPORTING. FLY HIGH X1!!!!!!!!!!

To my beautiful family, ONE IT,
I know it's hard. I know it's frustrating. The hate and ridicule we have to go through almost every day, and all the emotions spent just so we can protect our 11 boys from all those who wanted to hurt them, is a no joke. At times, we ended up feeling that we are fighting alone. We might have ended up shouting/insulting someone in the process because we got too angry and mad, but always remember that we too are human. It's okay, don't be too hard on yourself. Undergoing through all these emotions, hate, love, frustration, anger, sadness, it's all part of being human.
Now, look around you, we are right behind you. If you need someone to talk, someone to back you up, someone to lean on, just ran towards us, your fellow One Its. Just like how we protected our 11 boys, we will protect you too. You're not alone.
Thank you. Thank you for staying strong. Thank you for not giving up. Thank you for loving and supporting our 11 beautiful and amazing boys. Thank you for fighting. Thank you for being there. YOU ARE THE BEST! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH.
