Lee Gwan-rim, formerly of Wanna One, shared updates on his life as a film director following his retirement from the entertainment industry, revealing heartfelt emotions.

Lee Gwan-rim appeared on Mnet's 'Wanna One GO: Back to Base' on the 5th to share his recent activities.

On that day, Ha Sung-woon traveled to Beijing, China, to meet Lee Gwan-rim. Dressed casually with short hair, he showcased his fluent Korean skills.

Ha Sung-woon remarked, "You seem to be doing even better than during your Wanna One days," to which Lee Gwan-rim replied, "It's because I still have lingering feelings for Korea." He then showed off the '807' tattoo on his arm, adding, "The days I've celebrated in my life and the dates I personally want to commemorate would likely be August 7th." That day marks the anniversary of Lee Gwan-rim's debut with Wanna One.

Currently, he is living his life as a film director after retiring from the entertainment industry. He shared, "I have joined a Chinese film production company, working there while learning about scripts, and I am mainly working on short films. I am now a salaried employee," and added, "I feel secure." Ha Sung-woon was moved to tears while greeting Lee Gwan-rim at the airport, and members Park Ji-hoon, Hwang Min-hyun, and Ong Seong-wu, who watched the video, also wiped away tears.

Later, Ha Sung-woon shared the conversation he had with Lee Gwan-rim, leaving viewers choked up. While expressing gratitude toward Ha Sung-woon, Lee Gwan-rim said, "I cried a lot on my own and missed you all terribly. I endured through it. I am doing very well and living happily. Please live happily."

Ha Sung-woon added, "We will cherish and love Gwan-rim, who loves and supports Wanna One and Wanna One Better more than anyone else."

Meanwhile, Wanna One was a project group formed through the broadcast of 'Produce 101' Season 2 in 2017. They held a large-scale showcase at Gocheok Sky Dome immediately after their debut, achieved million-seller status with their debut album, and gained immense popularity. After concluding their activities in January 2019, the members have pursued individual careers as group members, solo singers, and actors.
