Renta's handwritten letter to TO1 fans

Hello, this is Renta.

I am writing this letter to tell you that I am grateful to TOgether (TO1’s fan club name). 

Recently, I’ve been thinking a lot about my future and talking a lot with my family, members, and staff. I really thought about it a lot. After much discussion and consideration, we decided to end my activities as TO1’s Renta and cheer for each other’s futures so that we can move forward on a good path.

I came to Korea because I wanted to become an idol in Korea, and I was really happy that I achieved my dream by debuting and working as TO1 and experiencing various things. I’ve told my family and members many times that I was so happy that debuting as a TO1 member felt like it was my destiny.

I’ve had a really great experience as I met many people over the past year. I was able to do what I dreamed of before I debuted, and the time I spent with leader Jaeyun, Chan, Donggeon, Jisu, J.You, Kyungho, Daigo, and Yeojeong was truly the happiest time of my life.

Above all, I was able to have a happy time thanks to TOgether being by my side for a year. Thank you, TOgether. 

I feel sad because I really wanted to show TOgether how I mature and progress in the future. However, I will work to return as an impressive person someday. I hope TOgether will spend every day in good health and eat well too. 

Don’t worry, I’ll be fine too. 

I love you TOgether, and thank you! See you again.
