The Boyz Announces Hwall's Departure From Group + Hwall Writes Heartfelt Letter To Fans

Updated October 23 KST:

Following the announcement of Hwall’s departure from The Boyz, he shared a handwritten letter for fans.

The letter reads as follows:

Hello~ This is The Boyz’s Hwall.

Our THE B whom I sincerely love, I am greeting you through writing as I have something to tell fans.

I am so sad and apologetic that I can only greet you through writing, but I will put in sincerity into every word.

I am letting you know that I made the decision to conclude activities as The Boyz’s Hwall after long and careful deliberation.

I was so happy to receive the love of many fans with every performance, and more than anything, I was eager to achieve my dream (of becoming a well-rounded entertainer who is loved around the world), so I received rehab treatment after my leg surgery.

However, it became a great burden on myself to perform on stage in an imperfect state due to various health reasons, and I expressed my desire to halt activities after deliberating for a long time with my family, members, and agency.

I like and love the stage so much and have gained many memories and experiences after meeting many great people including our THE B, The Boyz members, and Cre.ker family, and I want to express my sincere gratitude as I felt and learned so much through these valuable relationships.

Our THE B whom I cherish and love so much, thank you so much for always being my strength when I’m having a difficult or tiring time and for giving me so much love. You must have waited for a long time, so I feel really apologetic to deliver this news…And our members of The Boyz who always supported and comforted me by my side like brothers, I am so sorry to not be able to go with you until the end. I will continue cheering them on, so please continue supporting and loving The Boyz.

I want to express my gratitude to everyone who has sincerely supported and given lots of love to The Boyz’s Hwall while I was promoting. I promise to always be with all of you who I love and am grateful for, and I will work harder and grow better, not as The Boyz’s Hwall, but as Heo Hyun Joon from now on.

I’m sorry…and along with sad feelings as I conclude this letter, I once thank sincerely thank you and love you.

– From Hyun Joon who admires and loves fans.
