Below is the full text of Lim Hyun-sik’s SNS post

Hello. This is Hyun-sik.

I apologize for the late greeting.

After my enlistment was decided for May 11th, I spent several days wondering what kind of greeting I should give.

Recently, I have been thinking more about Melody and BTOB. I looked through many photos and videos from BTOB’s debut until now, laughing alone, reminiscing, and feeling moved.

And the thing I thought about the most was that I want to quickly gather with BTOB and Melody all together again and be with you like before. You must be thinking the same, right?

Because we are all thinking the same thing, that thought will eventually become reality!

Honestly, I have no worries because I have our very reliable members and Melody, the strongest love in the universe. Rather, I am someone who is very excited and looking forward to the time ahead.

I will grow into a prouder and more wonderful man for Melody and BTOB and come back. Please don’t worry and stay healthy and happy while dreaming of the day we are all together.

Just as Melody is always a melody lingering in my mind, I will always remain in your hearts.

Thank you and I love you.
