Winwin Leaves NCT And SM + Shares Heartfelt Letter To Fans

Winwin is officially parting ways with SM Entertainment.

On July 8, SM Entertainment announced that Winwin’s exclusive contract with the agency has come to an end. As a result, he will also conclude his activities as a member of NCT.

The agency shared the following statement:

Hello, this is SM Entertainment.

We would like to sincerely thank all NCT fans for your continued love and unwavering support.

Following careful discussions with Winwin, we have mutually agreed to conclude his exclusive contract, effective July 9. Accordingly, Winwin will conclude all activities as a member of NCT.

We are deeply grateful to Winwin, who has been with SM Entertainment for more than 10 years since his trainee days. We sincerely thank him for the time we have shared together and wholeheartedly support him as he embarks on a new journey.

Thank you.

Following the announcement, Winwin shared a heartfelt letter via his personal Instagram. His letter read:

Hello, this is Winwin.

From 2016 to 2026—10 years have passed by so fast. Looking back on the past decade, I wanted to write this letter from the bottom of my heart.

From starting out as a trainee to debuting as a member of NCT 127 and later WayV, I’m simply filled with gratitude for all the people I’ve met and the precious connections I’ve made over the past 10 years.

Sometimes I look through old photos from years ago, and every single picture brings back countless memories and the stories behind them. There were certainly times when I was exhausted and days when I faced setbacks and hardships. But even more than that, what remains in my heart are the many moments filled with happiness, joy, and unforgettable emotions.

Even though time has passed, those small but precious memories have always been my greatest source of strength. They gave meaning to every step I took and ultimately became the driving force that made me who I am today.

When I was still young and inexperienced, SM gave me the opportunity to debut as a member. They also gave me the chance to stand on stages around the world and meet all of you. From the very first moment I stepped on stage as an SM artist until now, I know I wouldn’t be the person I am today without those experiences. And I never would have had the chance to meet the countless people who recognized me, supported me, and loved me.

These past 10 years will remain one of the most precious chapters of my life for years to come.

Lastly, I’d like to sincerely thank Czennie, WayZenNi, and every fan who has been by my side throughout this journey. I hope the past decade will remain a warm, beautiful, and unforgettable memory for all of you as well.

Moving forward, I’ll never forget the dream I had when I first started. I’ll continue to do my very best with the same unwavering heart and keep growing into a better version of myself.

To everyone reading this letter, I wish you peace, happiness, and good fortune. I sincerely hope all of your dreams come true.

Thank you.

Winwin debuted as a member of NCT 127 in 2016 before joining WayV in 2019. In 2021, he established his own studio in China and has since focused primarily on his individual activities there, including starring in dramas and appearing on variety shows.

We wish Winwin all the best in his future endeavors!

TREASURE’s Junkyu To Temporarily Halt Activities Due To Health + Shares Heartfelt Letter To Fans

TREASURE’s Junkyu will be temporarily halting his activities to focus on his health.

On June 29, YG Entertainment announced that Junkyu will be taking a temporary break after experiencing health issues.

The agency explained that although TREASURE recently wrapped up promotions for their latest mini album “NEW WAV,” Junkyu had continued participating in activities despite feeling unwell. After discussions with Junkyu himself, it was decided that he would suspend his activities for the time being to prioritize rest and recovery.

As a result, Junkyu will be unable to participate in TREASURE’s upcoming schedules, including the upcoming P/V shoot for the B-side track “DANGER.”

Read YG Entertainment’s full statement below:

Hello, this is YG ENTERTAINMENT.

We would like to inform you that TREASURE member KIM JUNKYU will be taking a temporary break for the time being.

TREASURE completed their official broadcast promotions for their mini album last week.

Despite experiencing poor health, JUNKYU has continued to do his best for the team’s activities. However, based on the artist’s own opinion and the judgment of those around him that he requires focused stability and rest for the time being, it has been decided that he will temporarily halt his activities and take a period of rest.

Accordingly, JUNKYU will be unable to participate in TREASURE’s upcoming activities for the time being, and he will also be unable to take part in the P/V shoot for the B-side track “DANGER,” which is scheduled to take place soon. We kindly ask for fans’ generous understanding.

The members and the company will support and encourage JUNKYU with one heart so that he may recover through sufficient rest and stability and return in good health as soon as possible.

We ask for fans’ warm support and encouragement.

Thank you.

Following the announcement, Junkyu took to Weverse to personally reassure fans with a heartfelt handwritten letter.

His full letter is as follows:

Hello, TREASURE MAKER! This is Junkyu.

I spent a long time thinking about how to begin this letter, but I decided to write this in the hope that my sincere feelings will reach you.

It’s already been six years since I debuted with TREASURE in 2020 and began this journey alongside TREASURE MAKER.
Over the years, I’ve received so much love from all of you, and every moment has felt like a miracle. I’ve truly been happy.

However, as I kept running forward and giving everything I had, I think there came a point where I gradually stopped noticing the signals my mind and body were sending me.
Because I always wanted to show you the best, most professional side of myself, I kept trying to act as though I was okay. But I eventually realized that it was time for me to stop for a while and take care of myself.

After having many discussions with the company, I decided to temporarily suspend my activities and take some time to rest.

I’m terribly sorry for worrying TREASURE MAKER, who has always been my greatest source of strength, by sharing this sudden news.

However, I believe this pause is something I need in order to come back as a healthier and stronger version of myself. I’ll take this time to rest well, organize my thoughts, and return as my true self.

Thank you always, and I love you, TREASURE MAKER.

Wishing Junkyu a good rest and a full recovery!

Lee Jun Young Announces Military Enlistment Date In Heartfelt Letter

Lee Jun Young has personally announced his plans to enlist in the military.

On June 14, Lee Jun Young took to Instagram to post a handwritten letter announcing that he would be enlisting on July 21.

After noting in his letter that he was already on his 10th draft, Lee Jun Young also shared a photo of the crumpled-up drafts that he had discarded.

His full letter is as follows:

Hello. This is Lee Jun Young.

After spending months agonizing over how to start [this letter], I’ve finally ended up personally writing these words.
This is already my 10th draft. Hahaha!

Right around this time, you’ve probably finished watching Episode 6 of “Reborn Rookie” and are getting ready for bed, right?
Thank you for tuning in today as well.
Mm… rather than announcing the news through an article, I thought it would be better for me to tell you personally, which is why I’m writing this letter.
I never imagined that I’d be conveying this kind of news myself.

Yes! I’m enlisting on July 21.
Before I learned my enlistment date, I thought, ‘It’s no big deal to go!’ But after I received notice of the date, for the first time in a long while, I found myself having a lot on my mind.
I also spent a lot of time worrying about how to break the news to you all. Now that I’m writing this letter word by word, I think my heart is feeling a little lighter.
I will go and return in good health while staying true to myself.

Until the day we meet again, I sincerely hope that all of you will stay healthy and spend happy, meaningful times in each of your lives.
Thank you for always caring for and supporting me.
Thank you for reading this long letter.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year x 2

Han Da Gam Announces Pregnancy In Heartfelt Letter

On April 28, the actress took to Instagram to share the news of her pregnancy in a heartfelt letter.

Hello, this is actress Han Da Gam.

In all my years as an actress, I think this is the first time I’ve written a post with feelings like this.

I debuted in my 20s and lived a busy life, always running forward. Then, at the age of 41, I got married, and now, in the sixth year of my marriage, heaven has blessed me with a child.

I still can’t believe it myself, but it’s true.

I think I may be the oldest expectant mother in the entertainment industry!!!

I’m so, so grateful, and I wanted to share this incredible and awe-inspiring moment with all of you, which is why I’m writing this.

Judging by past cases, I think I might currently be the oldest expectant mother among actresses in the entertainment industry. Hahaha.

I am so incredibly thankful for this great blessing and gift given to me at this late stage in my life.

After finishing my play last year, I wanted to achieve the best possible result, so I prepared thoroughly in advance by visiting the hospital regularly. Thankfully, as a result of that effort, I succeeded with just one round of IVF treatment.

I think the fact that I’ve consistently exercised and managed my diet as best as I could over many years has really helped a lot.

Right now, I’ve passed the stage where I need to be especially cautious, so I’m exercising as usual and carrying out my broadcast schedules as normal.

You must be very surprised, right?
I still can’t quite believe it myself—so I can only imagine how surprised you must be.

I feel like I’m now stepping into a true second chapter of my life. It’s a feeling I’ve never experienced before.

Since I’m an older expectant mother, I will exercise even more diligently, take even better care of myself, and be extra cautious as I move forward into this second phase of my life.

I think I’ll be able to meet my beautiful baby in the fall.

I sincerely thank everyone who has congratulated me.
