Hello, this is Jonghwan.
I’m writing because there’s something I wanted to tell you myself.
I feel a little nervous and cautious, but after thinking for a long time and gathering my sincerity, I’ve decided to share this news with courage.I’ve promised marriage to a precious person with whom I want to spend my life.
They are a warm person who looks at me just as I am, quietly watches over me, and always understands my heart, even in the midst of ordinary daily life.You may be surprised by the sudden news, but thinking of all of you who have trusted and supported me, I felt it was right to tell you honestly.
The time I’ve spent with you, and the encouragement and love I’ve received during it, are the greatest strength I will never forget for as long as I live.
It’s because of that warmth that I’ve been able to stand where I am today.
If you could bless me from afar with your hearts, I would be happier than anything.No matter what path I walk in the future, I won’t forget the feelings you’ve given me, and I will always do my best in my place so as not to bring shame to that love.
I sincerely hope your days ahead will be filled with happy moments.Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all the fans who have always supported me.
