Hey LEGGOs! How have you been this month? August is very special because our girls turned 9 years old this year! Whether you recently discovered EXID during their hiatus or you’ve been a long-time fan, it’s so much fun to be a part of their anniversary celebration. It was heartwarming to see the members share memories on Instagram and interact with each other’s posts in real time. Even Tokuma Japan joined in on the fun by premiering videos for Vaporize Yourself earlier in August, Cookie & Cream on EXID’s birthday, and Memories on the day of their Japanese debut. Last but not least, LEGGOs showed their love and appreciation through social media in all kinds of different ways, including fan art! So sit back, shuffle your EXID playlist, and get into the art from this month!
(+) hope you leggos likes it

As you can see, we are now going to begin sharing LEGGOs’ work from Instagram, whereas before we were mainly focused on Twitter. Here is Jeonghwa showcasing a LEGGO’s fan art in her anniversary post! It’s likely that all of the members received this painting that commemorates EXID’s flawless discography (you can catch glimpses of it in Hyelin’s apartment from this video as well).
The month of August is also special because it’s Hyelin’s birth month. The (not so) fake maknae of EXID turned 28 internationally this year! Hyelin’s been busy with all kinds of different variety appearances and content. If you’re constantly on the run like Hyelin, listening to her most recent song “Lonely” is a great way to wind down after a long day.
And now we’ve made it to the last round of art for this month!

Heeyeon’s new comedy web drama, You Raise Me Up, began airing its first episode on August 31st. You can now watch the first two episodes with English subtitles here! Be careful eating or drinking while watching this show—you may choke from laughing too hard or while suffering secondhand embarrassment.
Thanks for tuning in, LEGGOs! It’s cool to look back and see how far we’ve come in the last nine years. Whatever the future has in store for us, we are haven, together, love, unending, and we are EXID’s (and they’re ours!).
See you next month~!
