[ThoseGoodOldDreams]

This is so sad, I really wish him the best though. This is the first time a group I'm a fan of is losing a member while I'm a fan. (if that makes sense?)

 

[Forgotten Wonderland]

We'll miss him... Woojin I miss your chicken, I miss your voice, and I miss your personality already :'(

 

[Kihyun]

I was wondering the same thing but then I thought maybe labels are taking it more seriously when members start to have personal problems after everything with Sulli. Maybe it's nonsense, but that was all I could think of

I saw the news like 40 minutes ago and still can can’t process it and I am crying rn and devastated. I really loved Woojin. Gonna miss Woobear

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Hopefully everything is okay with him and it’s nothing bad.

This is such sad news for Stays, but I hope Woojin and the rest of the boys are doing ok! <3

 

[Meybal]

I just started officially calling myself a real Stay and got to know the members better.
It really hurts to hear that Woojin has to leave, what a freaking bad monday it is already
I wish him all the best and I wish Stray Kids and Stay to be strong!

 

[Brickerbrack]

Yeah, saw the news just as I was going to bed. Until we know more ("personal circumstances" could mean virtually anything, but the sudden timing makes me think it may be family-related), it's hard to know how to process it.
Whatever's going on, I just hope he and SKZ will be okay, and remain friends.
Fingers crossed we haven't heard the last of his beautiful voice, but good luck to him wherever his road takes him.

On a speculatory note, I also wonder what this means for SKZ as a musical entity. Will Seungmin or another member be tapped as main vocal now? How will it change their sound?

Ah, this is really sad news to hear... I hope he's doing okay
