NU’EST’s Ren shared a message on his Instagram thanking fans and his fellow NU’EST members for their support after the passing of his grandfather on March 14.

Here is Ren’s letter, posted alongside a photo of his grandparents:

Hello, this is Min Ki.

I sent someone very important to me, someone who raised me when I was young and immature, to heaven today, so [this letter] is a little late.

Because he saw me receiving so much love, I believe that my grandfather will be happy in heaven.

Because of the [NU’EST] members, who came at a moment’s notice, and to all of the support from L.O.Λ.E, I was able to stay strong.

Thank you to my members and to L.O.Λ.E. I won’t forget it, and I’ll work even harder.

This is a bit late, but I’m happy we can spend more time together.

I love you Grandpa, L.O.Λ.E, and my members.
