VIXX's Ravi is officially leaving the cast of 2 Days & 1 Night.
The K-pop idol tearfully said his goodbyes during his last filming day with the cast and crew of the variety show. Ravi previously announced his departure from the show to prepare for his upcoming military enlistment.
Ravi read his heartfelt handwritten letter, saying, "To Jung Hoon, Jong Min, Se Yoon, DinDin, In Woo, Captain Bang and the 2 Days & 1 Night staff, and the viewers, this is Ravi. I knew this day would come eventually but time has flown by so quickly and it’s already my farewell trip."
He added, "Before the show, the world was hard for me to bear as I went about living. I hadn’t gotten to know the world that well so there were many places I hadn’t visited and many types of food I hadn’t tried eating. Because of my depression, there were many days when I couldn’t even breathe comfortably."
Ravi continued to share about how the show changed his life: "Thanks to 2 Days & 1 Night, I think I was really able to change a lot. I felt more relaxed and at home during my time here than anywhere else. It’s to the extent where I wonder if there’ll ever be another time when I’m able to childishly joke around and laugh comfortably while acting stupid like I did here. That’s how special this show is to me."
"I was sincerely thankful to you for teaching and taking care of me for the past three years. I will miss you a lot. I was happy to have been able to be your ‘Crazy Ravi.’ I love you."
Ravi joined the cast of 2 Days & 1 Night in 2019.
