Hello. This is Kim Woojin.
Today, I am suffering from an absurd situation… I am posting this to tell my fans about that situation.
Someone on Twitter posted weird rumors and then deleted their account…
I haven’t met that person, and I didn’t go to the places mentioned.
My fans must have been very worried, but please don’t worry too much because none of that is true.
Also, recently, I signed a contract with an agency that matches me, and I am preparing hard for my solo activities.
My new company is preparing to take action against the people who spread the false rumors, and they will relay their statement afterwards, so please don’t worry too much.
Then I will share more news about myself. Thank you.
