In addition to the agency’s statement, Lee Hwan Hee also shared the following personal message:

Hello, this is Lee Hwan Hee!
For starters, thank you for sending so much support and anticipation.
Although I really wanted to showcase a performance that repays that…I’ve unfortunately become unable to participate on “Boys Planet” due to health problems…
If I could, I wanted to show even just a little bit of a good image, but I can’t help how upset I feel.

After receiving a doctor’s diagnosis that excessive activity was impossible at the moment, I decided to step down in case I inconvenience my friends on “Boys Planet” or anyone else.
Through the “Boys Planet” broadcast, I met good friends and gained a ton of really happy memories and valuable experiences! Thank you so much!

In the future too, I will become a Hwan Hee who works hard and does not give up in order to showcase a good image in many more places!!
Currently, my health is getting better every day, so I will greet you in the near future as the bright Lee Hwan Hee.
Once again, thank you so much for the support you’ve sent! This has been Lee Hwan Hee!!
