"Hello. This is EXO's Chanyeol. It has been a long time since I have greeted EXO-Ls.

First of all, I would like to apologize to EXO-L for being the root of so much concern, as you have patiently waited for me for so long.

I am so sorry. I cannot fully express what I want to say in writing, but there was a time period where I thought about EXO-L a lot.

During that time, I could not help but agonize over and over again and think about what I should say to our EXO-L.

I received many messages of love and support from you guys on my birthday, and I am very thankful for those and have read them well. I read them all one by one, and as I read them, my feelings of gratitude and sorriness grew tremendously beyond my control.

I could not help but wonder how I could protect the hearts of our EXO-L and how I can repay all of you guys. I will do my absolute best not to make you worried again.

Also, I will do my best to show that you guys believing in me will not be in vain.

Days have passed, but I still have not forgotten my first public appearance... And I would like to genuinely thank everyone who celebrated our nine-year anniversary with us this year.

I also remember how I was nine years ago, and I will never forget that.

I will never forget the mindset I had.

I promise that I will protect the endless support you all have set me.

EXO-L, please stay healthy and safe. Thank you."
