[Mydaily = Reporter Park Seo-yeon] Sean, a member of the group Jinusean, revealed a touching letter for his youngest daughter Hael's birthday.

On the 16th, Sean posted several photos along with a long message on his account, beginning with the words, "Hael's 15th birthday."

Sean shared an anecdote about praying for a daughter who would look exactly like his wife, Jeong Hye-young, before Hael was born. He recalled that at the time, he earnestly prayed, "God, I dreamed of a family with four children, and thank You for giving us four children as a gift. But shouldn't one of them be a girl who looks exactly like Hye-young?"

As Sean had hoped, Hael was born with a face and passion just like Jeong Hye-young's, and her name was given as "Hael," meaning "God, my God." Sean expressed his affection for Hael, saying, "Hael became the last puzzle piece that completed the perfect family Dad dreamed of."

The photos he shared included Hael's childhood images, showing off her striking resemblance to her mother Jeong Hye-young, as well as everyday moments of the father and daughter running along the beach and lovingly tapping each other's feet. In particular, a photo of Hael volunteering to distribute briquettes in her childhood was also revealed, warming hearts.

Meanwhile, Sean married actress Jeong Hye-young in 2004, and they have two sons and two daughters. / Sean SNS

Hael's 15th birthday
When my youngest, Hael, was in Hye-young's womb, I prayed to God
"God, I dreamed of a family with four children, and thank You for giving us four children as a gift.
But shouldn't one of them be a girl who looks exactly like Hye-young?"
And then Hael, who looked exactly like Hye-young, was born
So we named her Hael
God El (God, my God)
A child whose face and passion look exactly like Mom Hye-young
Hael~
Dad will tell you again the letter he wrote for your first birthday

My beloved little Hye-young, Hael~
It has already been a year since Hael came into the world.
How has this past year been for Hael?
I wonder whether it was difficult for you during the year when you came out of Mom's comfortable womb and had to do everything one by one with your own strength.^^
Dad and Mom cheered you on and were so happy and delighted every time you did something new one step at a time.
So that year was a time when we received happy moments as gifts through Hael.

Hael!
What is now is called a present in English.
The present is literally a gift to us. It is not something we obtained through effort, nor something we bought with money, but simply the moments given to us as gifts are the present in which we live.
Because the present is a gift, we should live with gratitude,
and since every moment we are receiving the gift of the present, I believe our lives should also become a gift to someone else.

Hael!
Your mother has been a gift to Dad.
A very great gift given to Dad by God.^^
And your mother also lives as an actress, conveying love through sharing and becoming a gift to many people.
Dad hopes that our youngest Hael will also live a life like your mother, one that becomes a gift to others.

So we held your first birthday celebration, the doljanchi, at the hospital.

Just like your older sister Ha-eum, older brother Harang, and older brother Hayul, we raised 20 million won over the year after you were born, and with that money, in your name, through Yonsei Severance Hospital, we helped surgery for three babies with heart disease and helped one baby who could not hear receive a cochlear implant surgery.
They are friends who will live in this world together with you!

I believe our Hael probably became a small gift to those friends.^^

Dad, too, did not find this choice easy.
Because for our youngest Hael's doljanchi, there was also a strong desire to invite many people, show her off, and throw a big celebration at least once.
But just like your older siblings' first birthday celebrations, I set aside my own selfishness and thought of the most meaningful doljanchi for Hael, who is such a precious gift to Mom and Dad.
When you grow up, will you also like that we celebrated your doljanchi this way?^^

Hael became the last puzzle piece that completed the perfect family Dad dreams of.
After all, Dad dreamed of a family with four children.^^

Thank you, Hael, for coming to our family as a gift,
Congratulations, Hael, on your first birthday!
I love you, Hael, our little Hye-young, Hael!

Later, when you grow up and someone asks you what you picked during the doljabi,
say this.
"I held onto my neighbor's hand for the doljabi!"

From Dad, who loves our youngest Hael so very much ❤️

Hael, happy 15th birthday, congratulations so, so much!
