Haemin decided to call his season's greetings Snapshots & Words since those who do know him will tell you that he is of the introverted sort and tends not to use his words as much as he should. After some personal growth this year, he has decided to be more forward and live his life instead of sitting idly by and only remembering it in snapshots.

The use of the term 'snapshots' also allude to his love for movies since films are essentially moving pictures. Sometimes seeing just a still or screen shot from a movie can capture your attention and your imagination, bringing you back to that emotional state when you first saw it. And with those emotions memories: memories of people, of food, and events.

The props that Haemin chose to use for this concept were, by his own admission, a little on the nose opting for physical pictures and polaroids for his snapshots and various books and letters for his words component. His styling is leaning a little more towards the modelling side (he shows skin!) as he wanted to show a different side to himself, one who takes a little bit of risk but is still relatively safe and reserved. Two different outfits rooted in the classic black and white with various accessories to complement his looks.

The desk calendar and photobook contain a mix of handwritten letters and notes (scanned) from Haemin to his fans thanking them for their continued support, encouraging them in their daily lives, and reminding them to take time and focus on their own wellbeing. The backs of the photocards and polaroids also carry a short cute message from him.

Haemin is by no means a good artist but his sticker sheet is based on doodles (think hearts, stars, smiley faces, perhaps even the odd plant and/or cat) that he has drawn, as well as encouraging words (fighting!, jjang!, you did well etc.,) that the fans can use to put on their desk calendar to get them through their day.

For sheer ease of use, he decided to go with a keychain instead of a diary (and perhaps the nagging guilt of the many unused stationery notebooks he has stashed in a box in his shelf influenced his decision) which sports pretty, boyfriend-esque picture of Haemin as well as his catch phrase, "always yours, Minmin" on the opposite side.
