What goes in a Korean self-introduction for an idol?
A fan letter that opens with a warm self-introduction reads very differently from one that jumps straight to "I love you." A short hello (where you're from, how long you've been a fan, why you're writing in Korean) tells your idol you took the time. Running this fan-message tool in 28 languages, the self-introduction is where register matters most: in Korean you greet an idol with 안녕하세요 (hello) and 처음 뵙겠습니다 (a humble "nice to meet you"), never the textbook 당신 (you), which sounds cold or distant. Every line below stays in polite 요-form, so a first letter feels warm but respectful. Pick a line, copy it, and fill in the blanks.
How do you say who you are?
Start with a friendly hello and a little about yourself. Swap the blank for your country.

How did you become a fan?
Share how you found them and why you wrote in Korean. Small, specific details make a letter personal.

- I wanted to share my heart in Korean — 한국어로 마음을 전하고 싶었어요 Make this into a card
- I'll keep cheering for you for a long, long time — 앞으로도 오래오래 응원할게요 Make this into a card
