I am writing this letter today because there is something I need to tell you all.

On May 14, I will be enlisting in the military to carry out my duties. I think I will really miss our EXO-L during that time.

I hope our EXO-L, who think of me and love me every day, will always be healthy. I sincerely thank you, and I love you.

We are one, EXO. Let's love."
