Lee Gwan-rin, formerly of Wanna One, shared his recent activities as a film director following his retirement from the entertainment industry, revealing heartfelt emotions.

On the 5th, Lee Gwan-rin appeared on Mnet's 'Wanna One GO: Back to Base' to share his recent updates.

On that day, Ha Sung-woon traveled to Beijing, China, to meet Lee Gwan-rin. Dressed casually with short hair, Lee Gwan-rin 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-rin 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 want to personally commemorate would likely be August 7th." That day marks the anniversary of Lee Gwan-rin's debut with Wanna One.

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

Later, Ha Sung-woon shared the conversation he had with Lee Gwan-rin, leaving viewers deeply moved. While expressing gratitude toward Ha Sung-woon, Lee Gwan-rin said, "I cried a lot on my own and missed you all so much. I endured through it. I'm doing very well and living happily. Please live happily."

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

Meanwhile, Wanna One was a project group formed through the 2017 broadcast of 'Produce 101' Season 2. 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, members have pursued individual careers as group members, solo singers, and actors.
