“Today, I’ve completed my final performance in the musical Hadestown. It was a long journey of 6 months, and I’ve really learned a lot with Hadestown. The preparation was difficult, but I gained a precious family, and I felt warm love and happiness on stage. I would like to sincerely thank everyone in the Hadestown family for always believing, cheering on, and giving courage to me that's lacking.
Also, thank you to our EXO-Ls and the audience who came to watch the show. To our Hadestown who made me feel, ‘I’m being loved’!!
I will not forget you and will treasure you forever.
Orpheus, bye~
Hadestown Forever♡
(P.S. The cup performance during curtain call was really cute and lovely♡).”
