“To FIX,
It’s already been 7 years.
At first, I didn’t really know what was what; I just liked the idea of debuting and started like that.
But somehow, I’ve spent all this time together with you, and it still feels amazing.Looking back, I was really lacking in many ways.
There were a lot of things I wasn’t good at, a lot of mistakes, and moments where I probably didn’t meet expectations.
But thanks to FIX, who believed in me until the end, supported me, and told me it was okay, I gradually became a better person.
The person I am today was truly made by FIX.Since my debut, I have often been told that I really love my fans, and I was genuinely happy when I communicated with FIX.
But at some point, I didn’t have enough room in my heart, and during times when I couldn’t see clearly ahead,
I don’t think I was able to approach you like I used to.
If I made FIX feel hurt while waiting for me, I’m truly sorry.
It’s just that I didn’t have the emotional space; I never loved FIX any less.I also want to thank the company staff and team members who have been with me closely all this time.
Thanks to your efforts, I have come this far.After a lot of thought, I’ve decided to put down the title of “singer” for a while and try to live a new life as just an ordinary person off the stage.
It’s not something easy to say, but I believe it’s a decision I really need right now.
Since I’ve been singing and dancing since elementary school, this new life is honestly scary and frightening.
But still, I’ll try to live diligently in my own way.The times I spent on stage were the brightest moments of my life, and at the center of it all was always FIX.
Thank you for loving me. Thank you for completing someone like me who was lacking.
And thank you for walking alongside me through my youth, FIX.Now we’ll live in our own places, but I truly hope FIX will be happy.
If you ever think of me, please just smile once and think, “He’s doing well, right?”
I’ll think of FIX that way, too.And I also want to say thank you to BX, Yonghee, and Hyunseok, who walked together with me for these 7 years.
Thank you so much for enduring both the happy and difficult moments together.Thank you so much for these past 7 years.
Because of you, I was truly happy as CIX’s Seunghun.”— Seunghun
Seunghun’s decision to put down the title of singer and to mention a new life off stage has been seen as a possible retirement announcement, at least for the foreseeable future.
Netizens discussed this, commenting on his talent and wishing him well in whatever he decides to do in the future.
