His company, Highline Entertainment, released a statement on his behalf, expressing his thoughts about his discharge. He is excited to return and resume his idol activities.
Wonho shared his thoughts through his agency, Highline Entertainment, saying, ‘The time I couldn’t meet with WENEE (Wonho’s official fan club) felt especially long. Even while working hard every day, I never forgot about WENEEs.’
He added, ‘I will work hard to create precious memories as much as WENEEs have waited for me and repay you with a better version of myself. I missed you a lot, thank you for being by my side, and let’s create great days together,’ expressing his excitement about his future activities.
