Ok Taecyeon's full message

Hello. This is Ok Taecyeon from 2PM.

I picked up my pen to share my news first and foremost with all the fans who have always cherished and supported me.

It has been 19 years since our debut as 2PM. Starting at 19 years old on the programme 'Superstar Survival', it is thanks to all of you being with me all this time that I have been able to come this far. I felt it only right to share my news first with everyone who has always cherished and supported me.

I have promised to spend my life with someone who has understood and believed in me for so long. We intend to be each other's steadfast support as we walk together through the years ahead.

To everyone who has supported me with unwavering affection, helping me become who I am today, I offer my deepest gratitude once more. The immense strength your love and support have given me is beyond words. I will continue to do my utmost to repay the love and trust you have placed in me, both as a member of 2PM, as an actor, and as your Taekyung.

As the weather has turned suddenly cold, please take good care of yourselves. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading this lengthy message.
