hello. this is onew.  i sincerely apologise for disappointing my loving and supportive fans in light of this terrible news. i spent the last 4 months in deep reflection while taking a break from my activities, thinking about how i’ve greatly disappointed fans who treasured a lacking me… i loathed and blamed myself endlessly. i worried a lot about the apology, how could i put it, what choice of words could express it best, i had to be careful even writing it down because i felt too remorseful.. even though it’s too late, i’m putting it up now.  as someone who was receiving a lot of love and attention, i should have acted more responsibly even in my private time. i am filled with nothing but regret for showing you a disappointing appearance. i’m truly sorry to the members who diligently ran with me for more than 9 years.. and i would like to apologise once again through this letter to my parents and the company for shocking them.  while always reflecting, i will work hard to rigorously manage myself better. from now on, be it external or individual activities, i promise to give it my all to become a person worthy of the team called shinee. - from onew
