The Hangul on the right (토리 to-ri) is the Korean reading of the individual Chinese characters on the left (土里), but as far as I know it's not an actual word or phrase in Chinese, Japanese, or Korean. The two characters mean soil (and by extension, land/territory) and village, respectively.

edit: If anyone's wondering, I did also search for the characters/syllables reversed, since traditionally horizontal writing was interpreted as single character columns and read right-to-left. Judging by the quality of the calligraphy, though, I kind of doubt they would have known about that.

The Gordon Chung post is almost certainly fake--if you check the Wayback Machine for the tweet you'll see it was just a screenshot. Not only did I fail to turn up the original tweet from Chung, someone else mentioned contemporaneously in the replies to the tweet in the OP that they couldn't find it.

Okay, so how are we interpreting the notes? Are they mod 7, so

A = 0
G = 6
H = 7 ≡ 0 = A mod 7
I = 8 ≡ 1 = B mod 7

and so on? Could also be a microtonal system, among other interpretations.

If the former, though, the relevant congruences are

I = 8 ≡ 1 = B mod 7
L = 11 ≡ 4 = E mod 7
N = 13 ≡ 6 = G mod 7
P = 15 ≡ 1 = B mod 7
R = 17 ≡ 3 = D mod 7
S = 18 ≡ 4 = E mod 7
T = 19 ≡ 5 = F mod 7

So our final melody is

F D E E B A E E E F B G E

The octaves and rhythms aren't specified, so I'm sure there's a lot you could do with this. It's also kinda neat that it ends in an authentic cadence (V-I, which in this case is G7 (G-B-(D)-F) to C ((C)-E-(G)).

I did consider a

but rather than {頑張|がんば}れ I want you to {休|やす}め! Hope you're feeling better today.

Sorry that you're not feeling well—feel better beeeeeeam! cat-trans And I'll second what's already been said—don't feel the need to push yourself, and make sure you let your body get the rest it needs.
