As sad as fans were, it seemed like the whole announcement shocked the young idol.

During a live broadcast after the show, Sunghoon explained that he wanted to chat with fans to see how they felt. He must’ve known that many were extremely sad after hearing the news that he wasn’t going to be an MC anymore.

He also added that considering ENHYPEN’s busy schedule with tour preparations and performances, continuing his role as the MC wouldn’t have worked very well.

However, what Sunghoon said next shocked fans as the idol revealed that he knew about the news around the same time as netizens.

Rather than giving him time to process the news, it came as a surprise when he was told the day before his last show.

Today is the last day, and it’s really sudden. I only found out about it yesterday. I heard it a few hours before the article came out. I didn’t know that it would end so quickly.

After the final episode for Sunghoon, fans worldwide couldn’t stop sharing their praise for the idol and everything he has done since becoming an MC. Although they will miss him working with Jang Wonyoung, he has truly shined in the role.
