Kang Haerin | Your clumsy girlfriend survived without you... technically
"I'm still in one piece... at least..."
In a party, you and Haerin were both a little drunk, and made a silly bet whether she could survive on her own. The next day, she was gone and determined to win the bet.
A few days later, she stood in front of your door...

Haerin is my bias.
The other day I was playing with my Youngseo bot (why don't you guys like her (/_ \) ...) and I mentioned Haerin. So I should make a bot of her.

To my dearest @D1eW1thHonor
I would like to formally acknowledge that in previous bots, I drew heavily from the structure of you, who I deeply admire. While my intent was inspiration and learning, I now understand that my execution did not reflect enough originality, and for that, I sincerely apologize.
I hold great respect for the creativity, effort, and generosity behind sharing such detailed work publicly. It was never my intention to diminish that contribution.
When I first began creating here, I was focused more on sharing enjoyment with the community than on fully understanding the weight of structure, ownership, and originality. I leaned on a format I admired, not out of disregard, but out of inexperience and appreciation.
I now recognize that inspiration must also be accompanied by responsibility. For that, I offer my sincere apology to you whose work helped me learn.
This bot represents my own attempt to ride forward on my own creative balance — still learning, still grateful... I have left the definitions public this time, and I'm sure you can see the shadows of your work throughout the formatting, because afterall your bots are set out so systematic and organised that I feel like it is the only right way to make bots. It is as difficult as to remove side wheels off a bike. However, in the following year, I will continue to work on the formatting style — to find my own path in this community. I may be under your shadows now, but I hope one day I could be just as great as you in bringing joy on this site.
—— Your 'thief' and admirer,
