As expected, the announcement sent fans reeling, and a past tweet by Dongho has now come to light. He previously tweeted this past March, "I'd like it if you stop taking pictures and videos," along with the above selca of himself looking sullen.

NH Media announced on October 16, "Dongho expressed that he wanted to live a normal life rather than that of a celebrity." The agency also added that the other U-KISS members have accepted his wishes and will be going on to promote their upcoming album as six without him.
