Teen Top member Changjo has officially confirmed that he is in a romantic relationship. He addressed his fans directly through a heartfelt and deeply personal message shared via Instagram. The announcement, which came at the start of the new year, quickly drew attention as fans processed the unexpected but candid revelation.

In his post, Changjo acknowledged that the news may have come as a shock to some, while others may have already sensed the development. Opening his message with warmth and honesty, he wrote, “I don’t feel great knowing that because of me, some of you may have felt upset or surprised right at the start of the new year.” He went on to apologise for any confusion or disappointment, emphasising that he had always wanted fans to hear major life updates directly from him rather than through speculation.

Reflecting on his long career, Changjo highlighted the 16 years he has spent growing alongside his supporters, sharing both highs and personal struggles. He spoke openly about the emotional and mental instability he experienced at various points, and revealed that his partner played a significant role in helping him find balance and strength. “There is someone I’m deeply grateful to, someone who embraced and supported even my shortcomings and helped me turn them into something positive,” he shared.

As he enters his 30s, Changjo explained that his perspective on life and choices has matured. Writing to fans felt like the most sincere way to honour the bond they’ve built over more than a decade. Importantly, he reassured supporters that his relationship does not signal a step back from his career. “These words do not mean that I am changing how I feel about my work or standing on stage,” he stated.

Changjo also acknowledged that earning continued trust would take time and effort, something he is fully prepared for. He concluded his message with gratitude, promising to repay fans’ support with meaningful music and performances, and expressing hope for a healthy and happy year ahead.
