when yedam and mashiho was announced to be on hiatus, there were no clear reasons nor a handwritten letter. they were even cropped in official pictures afterwards.
it’s not the same and hopefully will not be. let’s hope junkyu comes back and trust him. ✊

Sebenernya keputusan junkyu buat hiatus tuh udh tepat bgt. Dengan jadwal kek gini dan kondisi dia yg lagi gak baik baik aja justru bakalan bikin dia makin drop nantinya. Rest well dan cepet kembali ya kyu🥹🫂
I hope YG doesn’t try to erase him while he’s on a break… keep his merch, keep him in the VCRs and content, keep his voice in the backtrack, allow members to mention him or maybe even bring his uchiwa during shows…
junkyu hiatus ini pasti dia lagi pulang kerumah orang tuanya, leha leha, makan enak, main game sampe rank nya ngalahin jeongwoo, jalan jalan santai, happy happy. nanti dia pasti balik lagiii, percaya sama junkyu guys, dia pasti balik lagii
A few ways to cope while Junkyu is on hiatus:
- Remind yourself why he's on hiatus.
- Rewatch his old content.
- Listen to TREASURE's songs.
- Talk to other fans.
- Keep yourself busy.
- Think of his hiatus as a pause, not necessarily an ending.
We'll be waiting for you, our sunshine. 🤍
Sending hugs to all Kyuties. 🫂
mental health isn't a joke. Junkyu is so brave for speaking up and taking a rest. This isn't going to be easy but please let's remind ourselves that idols are human too. They need a rest as well. Take your time, our sunshine! 🌟
“The members and the company will support and encourage JUNKYU with one heart so that he may recover through sufficient rest and stability and return in good health as soon as possible.”
we love you so much, Junkyu. we will always wait for you. please know that we will always support you, no matter what. take time to heal, our Junkyu. 🥺 #준규
Junkyu wrote a handwritten letter ❤️
“Hello Treasure Makers! This is Junkyu.
I’ve spent a long time thinking about how to begin this letter, but I decided to pick up my pen in the hope that my sincere feelings will reach you.
It has already been six years since I debuted in 2020 and have begun this journey with Treasure Makers.
During that time, I’ve received so much love, and every single moment has felt like a miracle. I’ve truly been happy.
However, as I kept running forward and giving it my all, I think there came a point where I slowly started overlooking the signals from my heart and my body.
I always wanted to show you only my best as a professional, so I kept trying to act like I was okay, but I have come to realize that the time has come for me to pause for awhile and take care of myself.
After discussing this thoroughly with the company, I have decided to temporarily suspend my activities for the time being and take some time to rest.
I’m so sorry for suddenly bringing this news and causing worry to our Treasure Makers, who have always been my strongest source of support.
But I believe this pause is necessary for me to come back healthier and stronger. I’ll take this time to rest well, gather my thoughts, and return as my whole true self.
Thank you always and I love you, Treasure Makers.”
