TVXQ’s Changmin just released a long and heartfelt letter to his fans today, June 12, reminiscing his good old days as an idol and announcing his plans to marry his girlfriend through the fan community app Lysn. Check out his letter below:
“Hello. This is TVXQ’s Changmin.
There is something I want to tell fans myself, so I am taking the courage to write this letter. It is not something I can say easily, so I am very nervous right now as I write each word.
On one hand, my heart feels heavy and apologetic thinking that my sudden news will shock and maybe upset some fans who always support me with great affection. However, I felt that it is my duty to share news of a major event in my life through my own words rather than through the words of others.
Approximately 17 years have passed since I debuted as a singer. Through that time, a high school student who was naive and imperfect at everything has now reached my mid 30s. I have spent almost half of my life as a TVXQ member.
Looking back, there was a time swept up in uncertainty when Yunho and I along with fans did not know what would become of TVXQ, but fans protected TVXQ, and because you gave us great love, we have been able to grow until this point. Thank you so much.
As you are aware due to a news report from a while ago, there is a woman I am currently dating. We have had a good relationship with trust and faith in one another, and naturally, I decided that I want to continue my life together with this person, so we made the decision to have our wedding in September around the time when the heat will cool down. Through this letter, I once again express gratitude to Yunho who supported my decision and was happy for me in addition to our agency staff who gave me sincere advice.
I believe that my path ahead will hold greater responsibility than the path I have walked on until now. Therefore, I will do my best in every moment and with every task I’m given more properly, and I will work to be the head of a household and also TVXQ’s Changmin who can give back more to everyone who supports and encourages me.
Although the weather feels like sweltering summer, these days it feels like a lot in the world has been frozen cold. Everyone, take good care of the health of your bodies and minds, and I sincerely thank you for reading this long letter.”
Changmin admitted that he was in a relationship with his non-celebrity girlfriend last December 2019 and fans have been supportive and happy for him since then and even now, wishing nothing but the best for the soon to be husband and wife.
