Dear Angel, this is Ricky from Teen Top, which is now 9 years old. I can’t believe it has been 9 years already. And I know you guys are what held the team together over so many years. It makes me truly happy to see how time only makes our bond stronger. No matter where I go, you angels are with me and that gives me so much strength. Here’s to more years to come as Teen Top and its Angels. Thank you for everything, always, and I promise to keep improving. I love you all.

Changjo, in the caption of a Teen Top group picture he uploaded, also thanked the fans for giving meaning to the members and their musical endeavors. He also promised the group of five will stay together forever for the fans.

To the angels who truly love us, we are forever grateful. We will continue to make good music and put on good performances in return of your endless loyalty to us. We will never forget how precious your love and support is. It is because of you guys that we can continue to perform and create music. It is because of you guys that Teen Top could have been together 9 years. The five of us promise to keep staying together by your side. And I also promise to keep showing you all that I can as Teen Top’s Changjo too. Thank you, thank you, and thank you.
