In his letter, 2PM's Chansung announces his coming plans for marriage, the pregnancy of his fiancée, and his decision to part ways with JYP Entertainment this coming January.
2PM Chansung's letter is as follows:
"To HOTTEST
Hello. This is 2PM's Chansung.
The cold winter season is already here. I began activities when I was 17, and 15 years have passed already. A lot has happened, and there have been many memories. I express endless gratitude to HOTTEST who have created valuable memories. Today, I am telling you about changes and happiness in my life.
There is someone who I have been in a relationship with for a long time. This person has been the resting place for my unstable heart and a friend who I can share anything with for a long time, and she became my girlfriend. While preparing and planning marriage with this person after my military discharge, the blessing of a new life came to us earlier than expected, and we are planning to get married as early as the beginning of next year. We are very cautious as she is in the early stage of her pregnancy, but I am sharing this news as I thought that I should tell you first.
My partner on this road to creating a new family does not have the same job as me, so I ask for your generous understanding for not revealing her.
In addition, my contract with JYP Entertainment, which I have been with for 15 years, ends in January. I went through much discussion with the company regarding my thought to go down my own path along with the addition of my new family that I will continue life with, and we came to the mutual discussion to not renew my contract. The decision was made through communication with my future as the priority, and the company willingly gave blessings for my bright future. The company is my root and like an old friend, and we will always support each other's growth. My definite path has not been decided yet, but I will share plans that won't cause concern to fans.
As I relayed so much information today, I am concerned and worried about how our HOTTEST will feel at the sudden news. I will work hard as I am right now in the near future in order to impress as 2PM's youngest member Chansung and actor Hwang Chansung.
Thank you."
It is assumed that Chansung is also leaving 2PM as he has decided not to resign from JYP Entertainment, but it has not been officially stated yet.
Netizens and HOTTESTs, although somewhat saddened by the recent news, wish 2PM's Chansung only the best for his coming marriage and a new chapter in life.
