Hello, this is Starship Entertainment.
We are deeply grateful for all the love and support MONBEBE is sending to MONSTA X from all around the world.
Lately, MONSTA X members SHOWNU, MINHYUK, KIHYUN, HYUNGWON, and JOOHONEY have renewed their contract with Starship Entertainment. As all six members share the same thoughts and affection towards the group and MONBEBE, I.M has agreed to continue and participate in the group's future plans.
We will do everything to support members based on the mutual trust we have built together. Our commitment is to provide our artists with undivided attention and systematic support.
Although discussions with I.M have undergone for a long period of time, we have mutually agreed to end the contract for the best of both parties. Our sincere appreciation goes out to I.M. for the hard work and dedication he has shown over the years.
We will support him wholeheartedly for both his participation as a member of MONSTA X and an individual artist.
It has been a month since MONSTA X took a break. We are working on various plans with the members to return the unconditional love we have received from MONBEBE.
Please continue to send your unwavering love and support to the six members of MONSTA X.
Setelah pengumuman tersebut, I.M turun ke fancafe resmi grup untuk membagikan surat tulisan tangannya, di mana ia merinci keinginannya untuk menantang dirinya sendiri sebagai artis di luar Starship Entertainment dan meyakinkan penggemar bahwa MONSTA X akan tetap berenam.
Baca surat I.M di bawah ini.
Hello. This is MONSTA X’s I.M.
Seven years have gone by since I made my first start as a singer with Starship.
As we’ve been together for a long time, I’ve grown fond [of Starship], but I thought I needed a new challenge with different meaning, so after a lot of thinking, I came to this decision.
I want to sincerely thank my Starship family members who I’ve spent many days with, laughing and crying together up until now.
To Monbebe, who created our happiest and brightest moments with us. I will prioritize MONSTA X’s promotions and MONSTA X will be with Monbebe as six, like always.
I love you Monbebe. I will become an Im Chang Kyun and I.M who shows you an image of continuing growth.
Thank you.
Pada tahun 2021, I.M merilis album mini solo pertamanya DUALITY dan album singlenya, LOOP. Sementara MONSTA X sebagai grup merilis album mini mereka, SHAPE OF LOVE awal tahun ini.
