We will continue to provide the members with the support they need in the future so that they can smoothly continue their new activities and endeavors, and we ask that the fans also watch over them with wam hearts.

We ask that you give the five members’ upcoming fan-con lots of interest and warm support, and we will do our utmost to ensure that the concert proceeds safely and smoothly.

Thank you.
