I have something to tell you today, so I am writing this after much deliberation.
 

I have promised to marry the person I love.

And in September I will become a father.

I am happy to have a new family, but I am even more sorry to the fans who are embarrassed by the sudden news.
 

I should have informed you sooner, but I'm sorry for the delay because I was worried about it.
 

To all the people who have helped and supported me with their heart and soul, I feel a huge responsibility because I feel like I have put a burden on you.
 

I apologize with all my heart to those who have been offended or greatly confused by my story.
 

Even though I lack in many places, I will become someone who will not bring shame to the iKON members, fans, and my parents who have made me into an important person.
 

Above all else, I will do my best for the fans and members who are waiting for iKON's activities.”
