In the uploaded letter, Jun.K revealed that he decided to enlist quietly due to his drunk driving incident this past February.
“I want to sincerely apologize once again for severely disappointing you through my wrongful actions in February. Ever since then, I have been living with regret and self-blame every day.

Read the letter in full below:
Hello. This is Minjun.
I won’t be able to see you before my enlistment, so I am writing this letter. My feelings probably can’t be fully expressed through these words, but I hope they can reach you a little bit.
I want to sincerely apologize once again for severely disappointing you through my wrongful actions in February. Ever since then, I have been living with regret and self-blame every day. It is right that I be criticized for my wrongdoings. But I thought that I should realize something from the pain I caused to the people who love me.
As a singer and as a person who has a job that looks toward the public and fans, I reflected on what kind of mindset I have been walking with. I thought of the time that I stumbled between two roads, one desiring my dream in music, and other filled with the temptations of youth in my 20s. Looking back, I should have had more of a sense of responsibility for my job and actions, and a clearer work ethic.
Not long ago, before my 4th solo tour, I felt ashamed to stand on stage. I could not cancel the performance so I stood before you, but at the same time I thought that I should meet you in person and sincerely apologize. The moment I saw you, my heart ached so much. I was really in pain and I was so sorry. Being together is such a big thing, and I should have realized how precious it was…
I will not be swayed. I will take all of the criticism, lashings, and, to become a person who is not ashamed of himself, I will reflect on my actions that caused you pain.
To the fans who have loved 2PM for 2PM and me for me over the 10 years, our members, and the staff that helped us so dilligently, I will remember all the precious times spent together and reflect on my lacking heart.
I’m sorry I couldn’t console the hurt I caused before leaving…
2018.5.8 2PM’s Jun.K
