Hello, this is Kaeun. It’s been a long time since I said hello.

I don’t know how to start…I don’t know if I can express the gratitude and regret I’ve felt thus far…I think this will be the hardest letter to write.

First of all, I want to apologize to fans who are upset after hearing the news of my contract termination for not being able to show more performances and be with you longer. Also, I want to say thank you for your the warm support you continuously sent.

Debuting as Kaeun of After School and being with fans was a dream come true and a happy time.

I am also thankful that the people I was able to spend those happy times were our members. And to Representative Han Seong Su and our Pledis family, who allowed me to live as After School’s Kaeun! Thank you so much for taking care of me and supporting me. I will not forget this thankful heart and continue to live diligently!

I will now meet fans as Lee Kaeun rather than After School’s Kaeun, but I will not forget the past times and remember them. Thank you for your hearts and I will do my best to meet everyone more often into the future!

I will make an effort to show a better me! I will become a better person. Please continue to be with me. Once again, I sincerely thank you and love you.

ㅡ Lee Kaeun
