These guys really be going all out now.

Seeing the response, Younghoon personally came on the fan messaging platform to reassure fans.

Deobis knows even if I don’t say anything, right? That more than the interest of others, deobi’s will always be my priority and whom I like the most. I hope that what I said didn’t make you sad. And lastly, what happened on the show is just for the show. I am so happy that I was able to meet Deobis through THE BOYZ, and I hope we are together for a long time. It’s monsoon season, so be careful not to get sick or catch a cold, ok?
