Recently, Lee Jonghyun - former member of the group CNBLUE - suddenly posted a long post on his personal page, marking the first time he shared about his life after leaving the entertainment industry.
Lee Jonghyun said he has lived separately from the entertainment world for nearly 8 years since leaving CNBLUE. He admitted that his uncultured actions and words in the past made him feel ashamed, and at the same time said that leaving the group was his own decision and responsibility.
The male singer also spoke out about misunderstandings related to CNBLUE members. He affirmed that his departure from the group did not stem from being turned away by the members. According to Lee Jonghyun, he is always remorseful when his teammates have to endure unnecessary misunderstandings and criticisms from issues related to him.
Notably, in the initial post, Lee Jonghyun revealed that he got married after leaving the entertainment industry. However, the male singer said that his marriage is currently in the process of breaking up so that each person can pursue their own path.
I have built a family, but currently we are in the process of breaking up to pursue our own path," Lee Jonghyun wrote.
This information quickly attracted attention because before that the male singer had almost not shared about his private life since leaving CNBLUE.
After the article was posted, Lee Jonghyun edited the content and deleted the mention of marriage and separation. The retweet still kept the content of apologizing to CNBLUE members and explaining his current life.
Lee Jonghyun also emphasized that the article is not intended to signal his return to the entertainment industry. He said that he is currently working as an ordinary person and wants to speak out to avoid rumors and misunderstandings related to his work and the brands he is collaborating with.
The male singer declared after the article that he would not continue to operate on social networks or communicate further about this issue. He wants to completely return to the life of a normal person, recognize past mistakes and live more responsibly.
Lee Jonghyun used to be a member of CNBLUE, a South Korean boy group that debuted in 2010. In 2019, he left the group after controversies related to Jung Joon Young's chat room.
Lee Jonghyun once admitted to watching illegal videos sent during conversations and making inappropriate statements about women. After the controversy, he withdrew from entertainment activities and almost disappeared from public life.
After 8 years, Lee Jonghyun's return appearance is therefore attracting attention, but the male singer affirmed that this is not a sign that he wants to return to the entertainment industry.
