The representative also added, "Also, for their future plans, Lee Joon will commit to filming his drama ‘Mr. Baek,’ while Thunder will focus on his music studies for the time being. Lee Joon and Thunder would like to express thanks to all of their fans who have shown endless love and support to them for the past 5 years, and they will continue to repay their fans with an even more improved and mature image in the future."
