On March 8, the 101 trainees made their first public appearance to attend 'M Countdown' recording. This also allowed a bit of time for the trainees to communicate with fans. 

Ren used this opportunity to share his sincere thoughts. On a note to a fan, Ren wrote, 

"Nation's Producer nim ? 

Hello!!! This is Choi Min Ki. I'm a very desperate person who really wants to do well now! I will make producer nim happy by working extremely hard!! Please give me lots of love ? Always be healthy and happy ? I love you ? ?"

NU'EST made their debut in 2012 with 'FACE'. The group is still struggling to get their name known in the competitive idol market even after 5 years since their debut. 

In response to Ren's sincere note, netizens are giving great encouragement and commented, "TTTTTTT I support you!! Your songs are all great", "I've always supported you guys. You guys have great visual and performance. It's so unfortunate. Not just Ren but I hope every member sees light soon", "Min Ki TT I hope only good things happen now TT Fighting", "I really wish you have good results here!", and more. 

Good luck, Ren!
