A.cian's Hyeokjin opened up about the past struggles of the team and showed gratitude toward fans. 

The idol group debuted back in 2012 with the mini album 'STUCK'. The rookie group was out to a good start, but soon faced changes that brought struggles.

Last year, A.cian's leader LO-J suddenly left the team, and A.cian turned into a group of 4 despite plans to add a new member. A.cian also recently transferred to Wings Entertainment, and the constant changes to the team delayed A.cian's comeback.

Hyeokjin thanked the fans as he said, "Ever since we have debuted, there were a lot of changes including departure of a member and change in label. It was a time of struggles, but the members had the strong desire to keep A.cian together, and we wanted to greet our waiting fans with a smile. Our fans were more than happy to hear the news of our comeback." 

He continued to show appreciation as he said, "To make sure we don't get intimidated, our fans gave us strong support from our very first stage and promoted for us. We are touched by them in numerous ways, and realized that we have to work harder for our fans."

Hyeokjin showed strong desire to return the love and warmth he received from his loving fans. A.cian might have faced struggles in the past, but it has led them to become a stronger team, and now it's only the beginning to a brighter future.
