'Singer Seo Taiji shared an update after a year and exchanged warm greetings with fans on Christmas.
Seo Taiji posted a long message on his social media on the 24th, saying, "Unlike last year, it seems everyone is迎ing a peaceful and calm Christmas this year." He said, "I can't believe 2026 is already around the corner. I lived diligently, but it seems I won't be able to deliver the 'good news' that fans want," indicating he has no comeback plans for the time being.
He then shared small everyday moments spent watching drama and movies with his family and memories from a trip to Alaska, adding, "There were times I cried, laughed, and became solemn again. I hoped a brisk winter would come to us as well."
What drew particular attention was the news of his reunion with "Ellie." Seo Taiji said, "I met Ellie after a very long time, and the Ellie who used to be like a baby has now become a complete young lady. She grew as tall as me, and next year she said she will already be a college student." He said, "As the star of the ninth album, she flawlessly took on many schedules including singing, music videos and performances, so I was always proud and sorry," and expressed affection, saying, "I was grateful she still remembers those times and said they were fun." He also felt the passage of time, saying, "The kids are growing up so fast and only we seem to be getting older," at the sight of his daughter Dami and Ellie getting along like friends.
Meanwhile, among fans the question "Who is Ellie?" has resurfaced. Ellie was a child actor who participated in Seo Taiji's ninth album title song "Christmalo.win," and drew attention when a 2014 recording site video was released. In the video, Seo Taiji spoke affectionately with Ellie, showing a doting fatherlike side, and Ellie won great love by performing the "Trick or Treat" part with cute aegyo and a clear voice. In the cinema version music video she appeared as a girl from Santa village and drew attention for her doll-like appearance.
