Wonho left Monsta X in 2019
Monbebes were shocked in October 2019 when Wonho posted a handwritten letter on Monsta X’s fancafe.
“This is Wonho. First, I would like to apologize for not being able to keep the promise that I would only provide good memories to our fans and for causing them pain. Furthermore, I apologize for causing concern to many people due to my personal issues,” Wonho wrote in the letter according to a translation by Soompi.
