Members’ emotional notes to fans
Even though NU’EST is disbanding, all of their letters have one thing in common: they all express their love for L.O.E., the Showbiz Cheatsheet wrote.
He is terrified of doing things independently, but he intends to stick with the fans. He wants to work hard to repay the love he has received over the last ten years, and he would appreciate it if fans continued to accompany him on this journey, Aron wrote in his letter.
He’s already been a NU’EST member for ten years as Baekho. Baekho thinks about everything that happened before their debut until now; he has treasured new dreams, reached those dreams, made new dreams, and experienced it first hand he had never anticipated.
