A.C.E

Hello, Choice! This is Kim Byeongkwan.

I first dreamed of becoming a singer when I was just 15 years old. I practiced hard, went through tough times, and was lucky enough to meet great members and a wonderful company. And before I knew it, it had already been eight years since I debuted as A.C.E.

There were many difficult moments and many happy ones as well, but looking back now, I realise those were the most precious times of my life.

Honestly, the circumstances were where we could have disappeared in less than a year, but thanks to Choice we were able to keep doing this for eight long years. Thank you so much.

Since my members and I have spent all these years running forward without looking back, I plan to take a break and challenge myself with things I've always wanted to try!

I've been a curious person with many interests since I was young, and I've always loved taking on new challenges. I will do my best in everything I want to pursue, and I will continue striving to be someone strong and warm who you can always rely on.

Until the day I stand before you again as A.C.E and sing for you, stay healthy, Choice. I love you.

And to my fellow A.C.E members, who will be walking their own paths for a while! Our leader Junhee, who may be goofy but always took care of his younger brothers, Jiham, who may seem sharp and sensitive, but has the warmest heart, my late-night snack mate and belly fat brother King Wow, and our youngest Chan, as refreshing as a tangerine! You are all incredible, and I have no doubt that you will succeed in whatever you do.

Take care of your health, and let's meet again as even more amazing versions of ourselves.

To my precious CHOICE

I still remember the moment when I was on the first stage with excitement in 2017. When I think of who welcomed us warmly, waited for us, and loved us, when everything was clumsy and lacking, the first thing I think of is CHOICE.

There were times when I felt exhausted and shaken. "Am I doing well?" There were times when I doubted myself. But what always got us back on our feet was CHOICE, who consistently supported us.

All those moments, from the times we spent crying and laughing together, the twinkling eyes we faced on stage, and the warm words that you were comforted by listening to our music, came together and became our most precious memories.

Today one chapter closes but this one is not the end. Just like the music doesn't stop, mine and A.C.E's story will go on. Wherever our voices reach, somewhere in your heart, we'll be singing all the time.

As much as CHOICE loved me and A.C.E, no, more than that. I'll think about CHOICE and cherish it. I will do my best to make the next 2nd chapter well.

Thank you, thank you again. And, I love you. ❤️

To everyone who has loved A.C.E and our leader Jun.

When I was young, my dream was simply to be someone who appeared on TV. Before I knew it, I have achieved that dream, and I spent 14 years running forward, giving my all as a member of A.C.E

Along the way, I sometimes lost sight of where I truly wanted to go, what I desired, and the kind of person I aspired to be. But every time I found myself lost, the moment that always brought me back was standing on stage. Looking back now, I can't help but smile at the thought that those fleeting moments are what carried me all the way here.

To all the people who have believed in me and supported me until now - I bow my head in gratitude once again. The more time passes, the more I realise that achieving something alone is nearly impossible. That's why I feel nothing but deep appreciation for all of you.

At the end of the day, I know that my final destination is A.C.E. With that in mind, I will dream of that moment once more and take a great leap forward, like a child chasing a dream. I'm not the best with words, so I'll keep it short.

Looking back, I think I've been incredibly lucky. To my family, who helped me achieve my dreams; to CEO Kim Hyeim, who made my dreams a reality; to our fans, who gave me a reason to never give up, and to my members, my team, A.C.E, who made me see beyond my dreams - thank you.

And now I'm going to take a long vacation for A.C.E, who was my whole life. Thanks to you, I was able to finish Chapter 1 of my life well, I’m grateful, along with the words, we fought really well.

As always, if there's a ending, there's another beginning so I have to make the second chapter of my life moving forward. I think it's my duty to do a good job of showing you all that process

Lastly Choice, don't worry too much. It's nothing big.

A child who loved singing since he was young had that dream and met a team called A.C.E. 10 years have passed in a flash. Because it was a sincere desire, my heart was always warm, and it was a time with no regrets as I devoted my 20s to it. I fell countless times and got up again.

If it weren't for A.C.E, I wouldn't be here now. It was slow, but the time spent dreaming with them one by one was warm. Thank you to Beat and CEO Kim for leading me well even in difficult situations. Everyone was a miracle to me.

And so, after growing up like that, after much thought, I'm going to put a period with Beat and a brief comma with A.C.E. I'm going to go back to the beginning and take some time to find myself who loved singing. Because the members trust and love each other so much, we are able to support each other wholeheartedly and promise to meet again.

So I want to talk to CHOICE with a smile. Now, I will have time to show my own music as Lee Jiham and I will return with more pride as A.C.E Lee Jiham. You will cheer me on more, right? I will try to smile more because I think that CHOICE will smile if I smile and have a lot of fun.

The time I spent with Beat Interactive was an irreplaceable youth for me. I am grateful and will not forget it. Please keep an eye on Lee Jiham in the future. Have a warm day and I love you all.

- Sincerely, Lee Jiham

We’ll always remember you ♡

I'm kind of tearing up ngl
