JBJ95’s Kenta took to his personal Instagram account to write a beautiful message dedicated to his mother, who passed away from a chronic illness earlier this month.

His message reads as follows:

Hello, this is Kenta. On March 9, my mother went to Heaven. So many people prayed with me, and I think my mom would have appreciated it. And I want to sincerely thank fans and people around me for comforting me and worrying so much about me. My mom was always grateful to the fans who supported me. So I know my mom would be happy knowing that you prayed for her. I will continue to do my best for my mom, who is watching over me from above, and for all of you who have supported me, so I would be grateful for your continued support. Lastly, I want to once again thank everyone who prayed with me, kept me in their hearts, and supported me.

Our deepest condolences and support are with Kenta and his family.
