Son Dong Woon, a member of HIGHLIGHT who previously announced marriage, expressed his understanding of fans’ feelings.
On July 6th, HIGHLIGHT Son Dong Woon turned on a live broadcast and said, “I apologize for greeting you so late”, adding, “I wanted to converse with you as soon as possible, but
due to the cautious circumstances, it took a while. It seems that you are more upset and confused because I’ve been dragging it out.”
It seems that the live broadcast was for fans who were taken aback by Son Dong Woon’s sudden marriage announcement.
In particular, on June 27th, the male idol revealed that he will tie the knot with his non-celebrity girlfriend in September. At the time, his agency stated that Son Dong Woon will continue his activities as a HIGHLIGHT member even after marriage, and a handwritten letter was also shared publicly on the same day.
However, while most netizens conveyed their congratulations, some fans expressed concern that Son Dong Woon’s marriage would restrict HIGHLIGHT’s activities as a team. Accordingly, Son Dong Woon’s side explained there was no premarital pregnancy, but some still demanded an explanation for why he hurried the marriage during a time where comeback preparations should have been a major focus.
As a result, Son Dong Woon bowed his head in the recent live broadcast, saying, “First, I’d like to apologize first for sharing a difficult burden with all of you and the company, as well as the members”.
Afterwards, the male idol seemed to struggle to continue speaking, so he drank water, sighed, and started to read comments. He also added that he’d speak slowly due to nervousness, and asked fans for their understanding.
According to Son Dong Woon, he has read the fans’ messages and reflected on them. “I will do my best to continue meeting all of you for a long time in the future. I will work hard to do my best”, he then promised.
Meanwhile, in his handwritten letter released last month, Son Dong Woon also apologized for not being able to tell fans directly and for taking a long time to speak up. In addition, the male idol expressed his gratitude for HIGHLIGHT members and fans, who have supported and believed in him.
