“Have you been well?
You must be surprised at the sudden news, but I will enlist in the military in November. I want to express my feelings to NCTzens shortly.
If it weren’t for this job, I would have never been able to experience the precious memories with fans, our precious relationship, and the size of love, and I am grateful for it once again.
I’ve always gone at my own pace, and I am so thankful and love all of you who have always trusted and walked by my side.
Although I say that I will be back quickly and wait just a little bit, I will surely miss you all.
I will return back healthily so I hope you all are well and healthy while I am gone.
I will continue to work hard as I look back on our memories and anticipate the future that is to come.
We’re unconditionally timeless.”
