Today I want to thank everyone who came to find Flower Smeraldo on opening day.

August 25th and 26th were days that I won’t forget. I couldn’t have imagined that there would be so many people showing love and interest for smeraldos. Thanks to everyone’s support, I’ve almost exhausted the supply of smeraldos I prepared.

There were many days I couldn’t sleep at night due to worries and expectations over how many people would come when I first prepared the shop. While preparing to clear customs, I worried about unexpected events, and I had realistic worries about whether the flowers would wild again due to temperature problems during shipping. Truthfully, those worries continued up until the opening day. But many more people than I imagined came to the shop and showed interest in smeraldos, so it felt like those worries were resolved in just a moment. When I opened the shop door and the first customer entered, I was so happy that I couldn’t express it in words!

Now I’m getting lots of calls from acquaintances from smeraldo societies all around the world. They were all curious about the reaction to the first smeraldos released in Korea. I answered, “It’s been a really explosive reaction.” The customers who smelled the scent of the smeraldos directly and liked it. The customers who asked in detail how much water they should get and how much sunlight they needed. Everyone talked about how they were fascinated by the beauty of the smeraldos and their charming story.

Truthfully, I wanted to thank each person who came to my shop one by one, but it’s regrettable that I couldn’t because I was so busy. My true feelings that I couldn’t convey that day, I’m conveying them now through this blog post. Thank you so much for loving smeraldos!

And I have one unfortunate news to tell you today. I have decided to close my blog for a while so that I can focus on the smeraldo shop. I want to communicate more with those who love smeraldos, but it’s unavoidable that my work with the flowers will become busier, so please understand that I have to make this decision.

I look forward to seeing you again, and thank you for sending your support for the smeraldos up until now!
