As WayV member Winwin of the group NCT (NCT) and WayV (WayV) departs from the team, he has sent a message to his fans.

On the 8th, Winwin posted on his personal account: "From 2016 to 2026, nearly 10 years have passed so quickly. Looking back on the past decade, I write this with sincerity."

Winwin said, "Starting as a trainee and becoming a member of NCT 127 and then WayV, I am only grateful for having met so many people and formed precious bonds over the past 10 years. Even as time passes, those small but cherished memories have always been my most reliable strength, supporting my life and making each step meaningful. They became the most important driving force that made me who I am today."

He continued, "You gave me the opportunity to debut as a group member when I was young and lacking in experience, creating precious stages where I could meet fans around the world. From the moment I first stepped on stage as an SM artist until now, without all these experiences, I would not be who I am today." He added, "The past 10 years will remain one of the most precious memories in my life for a long time to come."

Winwin also said, "I hope the past 10 years have left you with warm and beautiful, unforgettable memories. Moving forward, I will never forget the dreams I first held, give my best with an unchanged heart, and become a Winwin who continues to grow even further."

Earlier that day, SM stated, "After sufficient discussions with our artist Winwin, we have agreed to finalize his exclusive contract effective on the 9th. As a result, Winwin will conclude all NCT activities."

Recently, news has been continuously reported about members ending their group activities in NCT. In April, member Mark parted ways with SM and concluded all team activities. Later that same month, member Ten also left SM. However, arrangements are being made to allow Ten to participate in future WayV and NCT group activities.

Meanwhile, Winwin, who is from China, debuted as an NCT member in 2016. However, since the end of 2018, he has not participated in NCT activities, shifting his focus to activities in China. Winwin has appeared in Chinese dramas such as "O Bok Im Mun" and "Yang Jin Mi Geum."
