Dear Dulzurras

Written in Korean
Hello, my Dulzus. This is Hyoseop.

It's been a long time, hasn't it? I hope you all are doing well. By now, you may have already caught wind of the news regarding my departure from Lotus Entertainment through various news outlets.

First and foremost, I extend my sincere apologies for the sudden announcement and for not communicating it directly to you. I hope you understand that this decision was not made lightly, as the journey has been quite demanding. While my admiration and gratitude for Stephanie-ssi and the entire Lotus staff are unwavering for their instrumental role in my career, it became evident that my professional growth was somewhat constrained within the organization.

I want to grow past the identities of X.MPIRE's former leader Paul, CF model Hyoseop, or Oh! My Manager's Kang Shiwoo. Thus, the decision to part ways was a logical step, and I promise it was an amicable departure.

As for what lies ahead, my path remains uncertain, but I believe a well-deserved rest is in order. Continuous work and personal challenges have filled the past few years, and a moment to pause and breathe is long overdue.

I'm really thankful to Dulzurras, for everything, including these flowers. I also extend my thanks to Lotus Entertainment for providing a home until now. Rest assured, I will keep you updated on my next endeavors at the earliest opportunity. Your ongoing support as I embark on the next chapter of my journey as Ahn Hoseop/Paul Ahn means the world to me.

Dulzurras, I love you dearly~ ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿ’•

Hey, guys! Long time no see~

If you're reading this, I'm sure you've heard by now that I'll be leaving Lotus Entertainment from the news sites.

First of all, I wanted to say that I'm sorry for shocking everyone with the sudden news and for not telling it to you myself! However, I'm sure you know that it's been a really taxing journey. As much as I love, respect, and appreciate Stephanie-ssi and the rest of the Lotus staff for helping to get me where I am, it's a sad fact that they also kept me where I am. I would like to grow in my career and become more than just X.MPIRE's ex-leader Paul, or CF model Hyoseop, or Oh! My Manager's Kang Shiwoo. So, it only made sense for me to leave and I promise that we've parted on amicable terms.

I don't know where I'll go from here, but I do think that I'm due for a very overdue rest. I've been working nonstop for the past few years. I've had a lot of personal dramas too. And I haven't once taken the time to breathe. So, I would really like to do that for a little while.

Thank you for everything (including these flowers ใ…‹ใ…‹), Dulzurras. And thank you to Lotus Entertainment who gave me a home until now. I'll make sure to update everyone on my next moves as soon as I can, so please keep supporting me as Ahn Hoseop/Paul Ahn as I start my next chapter.

Dulzurras, I love you~ ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿ’•
