Seo Eun-Kwang made his military enlistment announcement on August 9. While the sudden announcement came to a shock to many fans, they admitted they had finally run into an inevitable situation. It was later reported that the singer would enter the 27th Division’s training camp, where BIGBANG’s Dasung currently works as one of the camp instructors.

Meanwhile, BTOB also spun a roulette to choose the next leader, which led Lee Min-Hyuk to fill in the void while Seo Eun-Kwang focuses on his training. Below is the handwritten letter as well as the direct English translation:

Following is the translated version of the letter:

Hello, Melodies, my people! I’m BTOB’s first generation leader, Seo Eun-Kwang.

It’s been so long since I’ve written a letter to anyone. I don’t even know where to begin.

First, I would like to thank you for allowing me and BTOB to feel happiness and gratitude for being able to sing, passion for music, the motivation to keep singing, the reason to keep singing, and most importantly, the energy to help us get up when we are down.

I will never forget, always cherish, and always be thankful for everything that you have given us. I hope that our Melodies feel the same emotions from one another and be a lifetime partner that encourages each other’s dreams and hopes.

Exactly 14 hours later, I’m enlisting! I also shaved my head. I had this hairstyle when I attended middle and high school and now that I have it again 10 years later, it’s very refreshing and convenient. Since it’s really warm outside, I recommend this hairstyle!

Melodies, don’t get sick, be healthy, don’t skip a meal, don’t be late to work or school, and wash your hands when you get home. And most importantly, take care of BTOB for me! Please look after the second generation leader Lee Min-Hyuk as well as other members.

They are a group of awesome people so I don’t worry too much, but you Melodies have to promise that you will always be their power source and continue to cheer them up on future promotions.

I miss everyone! Both Melodies and BTOB. The blue wave at the recent concert still lingers in my heart and in front of my eyes. Let’s remember all those beautiful moments from the past 7 years and fighting to all of us until the day we meet again!

I sincerely love you with all my heart.

I love you, Melody! Forever!
