“To SHINHWA’s Changjo,
In this unusually unpredictable and temperamental summer, I hope you’re all staying healthy and doing well.
I’ve just successfully wrapped up my first exhibition, and I finally feel like I can breathe a little and find some peace of mind.That’s why today, I’m picking up this pen—to share something with SHINHWA’s Changjo before anyone else.
Recently, after going through several personal challenges and feeling mentally drained, I spent a lot of time with my family. It gave me the chance to reflect deeply on what family means to me.
At some point, I had a vague dream of building a family of my own—one where we could support and rely on each other. And now, after a long time of knowing and trusting someone very special, we’ve confirmed our feelings and decided to become family.To my dear Shinhwa Changjo, who must be surprised by this sudden news…
I struggled with how to tell you and it wasn’t easy picking up the pen, but I didn’t want you to hear this news from someone else and feel hurt or disappointed. That thought alone made me want to be the first to tell you, even if the words aren’t perfect.I sincerely hope you’ll receive this message with warmth and bless me with your congratulations—because more than anyone, it’s Shinhwa Changjo whom I most want to be congratulated by.
From my passionate teen years, through my 20s and 30s, and all the way to now since debuting with SHINHWA…
I’ve always been incredibly lucky to receive endless love and support from SHINHWA’s Changjo.
Even when I was clumsy or lacking, your warm cheers and love gave me the courage to take another step forward.
Though there were tough times, every single moment I’ve lived as Lee Minwoo on stage has been nothing but happiness.From here on, my life may go through more changes, but I promise that with the love and support of SHINHWA’s Changjo and my family as my driving force, I’ll continue to meet you all as Lee Minwoo—unchanged, whether on stage or anywhere else.
SHINHWA’s Changjo, no matter how many times I say thank you and I love you, it will never be enough.
Thank you for reading this long letter late at night. I hope you have sweet dreams.With love,
Lee Minwoo
