TO1’s Renta Announces Departure From Group With Handwritten Letter To Fans

Sep 22, 2023

TO1 member Renta is leaving the group.

On September 22, Renta shared a handwritten letter on his Instagram.

Read the full letter below:

"Hello, this is Renta.

I am writing this letter to tell you that I am grateful to TOgether (TO1’s official fan club name).

Recently, I’ve been thinking a lot about my future and talking a lot with my family, members, and staff. I really thought about it a lot. After much discussion and consideration, we decided to end my activities as TO1’s Renta and cheer for each other’s futures so that we can move forward on a good path.

I came to Korea because I wanted to become an idol in Korea, and I was really happy that I achieved my dream by debuting and working as TO1 and experiencing various things. I’ve told my family and members many times that I was so happy that debuting as TO1 member felt like it was my destiny.

I’ve had a really great experience as I met many people over the past year. I was able to do what I dreamed of before I debuted, and the time I spent with leader Jaeyun, Chan, Donggeon, Jisu, J.You, Kyungho, Daigo, and Yeojeong was truly the happiest time of my life.

Above all, I was able to have a happy time thanks to TOgether being by my side for a year. Thank you, TOgether.

I feel sad because I really wanted to show TOgether how I mature and progress in the future. However, I will work to return as an impressive person someday. I hope TOgether will spend every day in good health and eat well too.

Don’t worry, I’ll be fine too.

I love you TOgether, and thank you! See you again."

TO1 is a group that initially debuted under the name TOO in 2020 after being formed on the Mnet survival show “World Klass.” The group rebranded as TO1 in March 2022, and Renta joined the group in June 2022.

Wishing all the best to Renta on his new start!
