It was recently revealed that SS501's Kim Hyung Jun shared heartbreaking news.

On January 12, Kim Hyung Jun posted on his Instagram, opening with, "I thought I had firmly resolved that nothing lasts forever, but the time of parting with you has turned out to be far more painful and agonizing than I expected."

He continued, "You’ve been my life companion, my beloved Choco, for the long 16 years we spent together," revealing that the one he bid farewell to was his pet dog.

Kim Hyung Jun expressed his sorrow, saying, "It’s really painful and hard to let you go now, but I will endure and keep going with the time and memories we shared. Please remember the family here and live bravely and cheerfully."

He added, "I can do this too. Slowly, very slowly, I will let you go now. Please visit me often, even if only in my dreams. I want to be with you," conveying his deep affection and longing.

Meanwhile, SS501 debuted in 2005. They received love for hits such as "Snow Prince," "U R Man," and "Because I'm Stupid." In 2016, members Kim Kyu Jong, Kim Hyung Jun, and Heo Young Saeng formed the unit SS301.
