He captioned his post as "I was so happy to meet Starlights today for the first time in a long while. Despite the hot weather, your loud cheering during the busking and the fact that you had a good time together with us up until the very end gave me lots of strength! Thank you, and thank you again.”

According to a Korean news website SpoTV News, "VIXX N has been discharged from the military today, 41 days early due to the military's Coronavirus and vacation policy. He will still carry enlisted status until October 7 — he will not return to the military base though."
