Kim Tae Dong Shares Heartfelt Letter To Fans To Apologize And Explain Why He's Working Part-Time

“Produce 101 Season 2” contestant Kim Tae Dong gave an update to fans and reassured them about why he’s been working part-time.

Kim Tae Dong recently wrote on his Instagram, “I’m posting this as an apology for making my fans worry with the post about a part-time job, which I uploaded on Instagram a while ago.”

He appears to be referring to pictures he posted on Instagram on April 14 with the hashtag, “part-time job.” The pictures showed that he was working at a cafe but some fans expressed concerns over whether he had given up his goal to become a singer.

Kim Tae Dong continued, “First of all, I still haven’t given up the dream of becoming a singer and am practicing. I wanted to dance so much but couldn’t, because I didn’t have an appropriate practice room for dancing. Feeling too sorry to ask my parents for money, I decided to work part-time because I wanted to rent a practice room with the money I earned through a part-time job.”

“I feel nothing but sorrow because I can’t stand in front of my fans and that I’m making them wait with no promises due to problematic circumstances. I did not intend at all to deceive my fans. I thought I would give them an update as nothing’s been properly solved and I couldn’t talk about various things. I’m sorry that I made you worried and concerned with my shortcomings.”

He concluded, “I wanted to let you walk a path full of flowers but I’m sorry that I only hurt you with so much waiting. I’ll keep on practicing hard, never give up, and will be careful in all aspects in the future. I’m sorry.”

Kim Tae Dong was originally one of the members of fan-imagined project group JBJ, along with other eliminated “Produce 101 Season 2” contestants. However, he became embroiled in a conflict with his agency Major 9 (formerly The Vibe Label) and couldn’t join the group, to many fans’ dismay. JBJ recently released their final song “Call Your Name” with their contract expiring on April 30.
