Additionally, the agency shared the following letter. Hyuk wrote it to Starlights (VIXX’s official fandom).

Hello, Starlights!

This is VIXX’s maknae Hyuk.

First of all, I am going to fulfill my national defense duties on April 18th! You were very surprised, right?!

I was flustered because I think you all heard the news suddenly through an article, but I feel bad because I think our Starlights would be even more upset and surprised…

Before the fan concert, I wanted to fill it with exciting and good times by just talking about the performance together, but I’m upset because I don’t think I was able to do so.

However, we still have the Home party, and we still have some time left, so let’s make a lot of good memories before I leave.

I’m aware of your concerns and your support, so I will come back as a healthy, physically and mentally grown VIXX’s Hyuk and Han Sang Hyuk.

So, you should always stay healthy and send me updates or messages of encouragement from time to time, okay?!

— Hyuk

Hyuk is the youngest member of VIXX, born in 1995, so he is the final member to enlist in the military for their mandatory service. He and Starlights will meet once more before his enlistment, as he is holding his anticipated 2024 HYUK FAN CONCERT ‘Home’ on March 30 at 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. KST at Sungshin Women’s University.
