"I'm opening a new door that I'm still unfamiliar with, but with the love and support I've received, I'll greet you in a better way and do my best."I'm Choi Bomin, the youngest member of Golden Child, cheering for Goldenness and Golden Child members who ran with me," he wrote.

Golden Child will continue its activities as a seven-member group with Lee Dae-yeol and Y with five members who have renewed their contracts.

Hereinafter, full text of Choi Bomin's official position.



Hello, I'm Choi Bomin of Golden Child.

First of all, I'd like to tell you my story because I'm very careful to all of you who have been with me for a long time, and to Goldenness who must have been surprised by this news the most, but I hope my heart will be conveyed a little bit.

Starting as a trainee at Woollim Entertainment in 2015, 7 years have passed since I first met Goldenness in front of the public on August 28, 2017, and I'm celebrating today at the age of 25.

For the past seven years, when I didn't know it would go to the end, Goldenness was always on my side and always supported me, so I think I received the time and moments that felt like a dream as a gift. Thank you for giving me an unforgettable memory until the end of my life. I also sincerely thank Goldenness once again for making me a person who is lacking a lot and receiving enough love.

And I would like to thank Lee Jung-yeop, CEO of Woollim Entertainment, for choosing me as a 16-year-old who didn't know anything and was lacking, and allowing me to live as Choi Bo-min who is standing in front of you right now. From the beginning to the middle, I was like a father to this day, and I think I was able to become the person I am today. Thank you so much again for growing me right and raising me.

I think it was possible because of the precious members and their support who were always on the same side with me in this moment. Dae Yeol, Sung Yoon, Jang Jun, Young Taek, Seung Min, Jae Hyun, Ji Beom, Dong Hyun, and Joo Chan, who have been with us for 9 years, were all happy because they were older. I'm always saying this, but I'm truly grateful that they taught me one by one, waited for me, and took care of me as the youngest member of the team. I think I was able to be happier as the youngest member of Golden Child because the people who spent time with me were my brothers. I'm always rooting for each and every one of our brothers, no matter what the moment is, and I'm always grateful.

Today is a moment when I am opening a new door that I am still unfamiliar with, but with the love and support I have received, I will greet you in a better way and try harder. Once again, I sincerely thank Goldenness and Woollim Entertainment's family who spent their youth with me and each and every precious person I met. We will greet you with better performances and news as soon as possible.

I'm Choi Bo Min, the youngest member of Golden Child, supporting the future of Goldenness and Golden Child members who have been running with me. Thank you.
