It is true that I wanted to rely on something that I shouldn't have had any interest in due to going through a hard and painful time. However, I was too scared and fearful to do it. Even so, I am so ashamed and apologetic to fans who were greatly disappointed and hurt because of my wrong words and actions. I intend to humbly self-reflect on my mistake and leave the team. Once again, I bow my head down and sincerely apologize to fans and the members. I apologize.Also Read: BLACKPINK’s ROSÉ to guest star on a new variety show called The Sea of Hope and BLINKS can’t contain their excitementFans thank B.I for coming backB.I's fans took to Twitter to express their joy and gratitude at his return to the music industry.My heart is at ease whenever I see Hanbin smile.B.I ILLA ILLA OUT NOW #WaterfallAlbumByBI @shxx131bi131 pic.twitter.com/JmQ02eOHTW— 131 🎞 (@filmhanbin) June 1, 2021all these in a month, thank you kim hanbin ❤️ pic.twitter.com/A0PjaS10um— ً (@luvsbinic) June 1, 2021Ending today with endless thank you’s to the man of the day, the month & the year, the one and the only, Kim Hanbin.
