Hello. This is Woojin Kim.
Today, I'm going through an embarrassing thing, so I'm posting a post to inform the fans of the current status of both contemporaneous work.
Someone on Twitter has spread weird rumours and deleted your account...
I've never met him, and I've never been to the places mentioned.
Fans must have been surprised a lot, but don't worry too much because it's not true.
And, I recently signed a contract with a company I like, and I'm working hard for my solo activities.
The company is planning to take action against the spreaders of false information, and the company will respond afterwards, so please don't worry too much.
Then I'll deliver the news again. Thank you.
