TXT’s Soobin has shared a handwritten letter to his fans following the announcement of his temporary hiatus.

On November 19, BIGHIT MUSIC announced that Soobin would be temporarily halting all activities in order to focus on recovering his health.

That same day, Soobin posted the following letter on Weverse:

Hello, MOA [TXT’s fandom], this is Soobin.

First, it was only a few days ago that we wrapped up our [comeback] promotions amidst warm support, so I’m sorry to our MOA who must have been very surprised at this sudden news.

After my debut, thanks to the TXT members and MOA, I’ve been growing little by little every single year. As countless happy moments built up, I think I was reborn as a slightly cooler person.

There were moments when I felt strongly that I wasn’t in the best physical condition, but thanks to the other members and MOA, I was able to solidly push through. Thank you!

After giving it deep thought, I thought that in order to be with all of you for a long time, I needed time to reorganize myself.

My heart feels heavy because I worry that this decision will harm everyone around me, but I spoke a lot with Yeonjun, Beomgyu, Taehyun, and Kai. I’m very sorry and grateful to the members, who supported my decision.

MOA’s happiness is always my top priority.

Although my heart feels heavy because I worry that this news might sadden MOA, who always give me only love and joy, I will recover quickly so that you don’t have to wait long, and I will return in good health!

MOA, I love you always.

Get well soon, Soobin!
