Although I’ll work as a solo artist, I could really feel for the first time that the staff was constantly helping me. I realized they were always there, supporting me. Whatever I do, I don’t quit in the middle. My manager always tells me, ‘Not to push myself too hard.’ But for my fans and those who are rooting for me, I won’t quit. I really miss my fans, I’m sꦏo sorry I let them down. Something like that won’t happen again, I won’t engage in such foolish behaviours that I’ve don🍃e in the past ever again. I’m ready now, I’ll move forward.”
