"Hello, Starlights!
This is Hyuk, the maknae of VIXX.
Firstly, I would like to inform everyone that I will be enlisting in the military on April 18. You all must have been shocked by the news.
This information was revealed through a news article, so I thought that must have surprised you, and I was worried that Starlights would get upset.
I wanted to make the best out of the happy and endearing moments until the fan concert and talk about it together, but I'm sad since I couldn't do it. But we still do have the 'Home' party, and through this remaining time, we should make a lot of precious memories before I leave!
I'm attentive regarding the concerns and support of fans, so I promise to come back in good health. I will return to you as VIXX Hyuk and Han Sang Hyuk, who have now grown mentally and physically!
Please send your supportive messages and how you're doing while staying healthy, alright?!"
"Starlight will be waiting for you to come back, and you must come back healthy. Take of yourself and wait for your comeback!"
