Kangin Announces He Will Withdraw From Super Junior
Kangin has announced through his personal Instagram that he will be leaving Super Junior.
On July 11, he posted his personal statement on his Instagram account, apologizing to his group members and his fans.
Hello, this is Kangin. It has been a very long time since I greeted everyone.
I have a heavy heart because this is bad news, but I am writing this after much thought.After such a long time, I will be giving up the title of ‘Super Junior’.
I have always felt sorry to the members.
I have always thought it was right thing, to make a decision as soon as possible,
But because of the people and the company staff who would always support my foolish self, my heart would easily be caught and I couldn’t muster up the bravery
I also thought I shouldn’t be deciding things by myself.But I decided that I shouldn’t delay my decision anymore, watching my members go through things they shouldn’t have to, because of my problems.
Above everything else, I feel the most sorry to E.L.F., for giving me so much love over the past 14 years.
It’s too late to say this, but whether it was with Super Junior or now on my own, I will always feel sorry and thankful, and that feeling will be engraved in my heart.I’d like to say thank you to the members and the company staff who have cared for me right until the end.
I will always be cheering Super Junior on.
Thank you.
