During the long yet short time I spent on ‘Produce 101 Season 2,’ I was very happy to have been able to get to know our national producers. Singing and playing the guitar was all I had known about, and ‘Produce 101 Season 2’ was a program that led me to experience many new things.”

He continued, “From the agency performances to ‘Pick Me,’ ‘Be Mine,’ ‘Playing With Fire,’ ‘Oh Little Girl,’ ‘Hands on Me,’ and ‘Always,’ I cannot forget any of these stages. I am thankful, and it was a valuable experience through which I learned many things. Without forgetting this precious experience, I will ingrain them in my mind and show that through my behavior and music. Instead of blindly chasing for my dreams, I will be thankful for the things I am able to do now, enjoy them, and work hard. I will become someone who can succeed without pursuing success. And I will never forget that all of you were always there, cheering for me!”

In conclusion, he wrote, “Once again, thank you for believing in me and supporting me. I will repay that with good music. This was Ponyo. Be happy.”
