Hello. This is Kim Wooseok.

We thought the same thoughts and dreamed the same dreams.

Through X1, I was able to learn new things and experienced precious moments as well as received so much love from many people. When everything that I thought was a dream started coming true, you were all by my side. Once again, thank you

It was an honor to work with the other X1 members together, and I will cherish the memories of our time together for the rest of my life. I ask that you send the X1 member, with who I cried, laugh, and spent my days with kind words rather than criticism.

I also want to thank Swing Entertainment’s staff members, who worked hard to help us.

I’ve said this before. Although you will no longer go by ONE IT, I will always remember you guys. I received so much love. I learned new things. I thought I would be able to give you guys something in return, and I’m so sorry that I could not.

I hope you guys will continue to cheer me on so that I can greet everyone as soon as possible with a new dream.
