Hello, I’m Cho Seung Youn
I write this letter because I have to tell something directly to my fandom. My country has called me and I will serve in the army starting next January 22, 2024.
I had always seen the issue of enlistment as very far away, but now it has arrived and I have been thinking about it since last year. For a moment, I will be a little further away from you than I am now, and I will do my best in my military duty, not as an idol or an artist, but as Cho Seung Youn.
It’s been almost 10 years since I debuted and started working as an Idol, and I can definitely say that these years have been full of happy and beautiful memories that I made together with you, my fans, so I feel very grateful.
I will come back healthier from my process, so please stay happy and healthy, wherever you are. Thank you all for always much more love than I deserve.
