On September 26, Kangmin posted the letter on Instagram, writing, “The four-month journey has come to an end. Each day was difficult, but I was so happy to be part of such a great broadcast with wonderful people.”
He continued, “Of course, I want to sincerely thank my Kkangdagu and all the Star Creators who supported me. Even when it was tiring and difficult, you didn’t give up on me and loved me until the very end. Thank you so, so much!”
Kangmin reflected on how fans’ encouragement fueled his performances: “Every time I prepared for a stage, seeing your support gave me the strength to move, sweat, and grit my teeth to give my all. Boys II Planet may have ended, but my life has so much more ahead. I’ll dedicate it to becoming a great person and a great idol for you.”
He also shared how the show rekindled his passion: “During six years with VERIVERY, some of that fiery romance slipped away without us realizing. But through this, it came alive again, and I was able to give my all without shame, especially for the contestants who were eliminated before me.”
To fellow contestants, Kangmin offered words of encouragement: “It’s not too late for us it’s only the beginning. Let’s not be discouraged or give up. Let’s shine without regret in this world. I will sincerely cheer for you!”
He didn’t forget to thank the production team: “Our Boys II Planet staff, thank you for all your hard work. You slept less and worked harder than we did to create such fun broadcasts and amazing performances.”
Lastly, Kangmin expressed his gratitude to his group: “To my VERIVERY members, even though you’re right next to me, I know how complicated your feelings must have been while supporting me. That moved me so much. Thank you for cheering on this new beginning of mine. I’m back now! VERIVERY, let’s go!”
