Y expressed his feelings about discharge through his agency Woollim Entertainment, saying, 'It feels like just yesterday that I enlisted, and now I am being discharged. I did my best with the feeling of being a warrior of the Republic of Korea and protecting the country, and I was able to feel gratitude for the people I love and for being loved.' He also conveyed his gratitude to Goldenness (Golden Child's fans) for supporting him through lonely times, saying, 'I really missed you and wanted to see you. There were many changes in the group during my military service, but I will grow more and become a solid person to get closer to everyone and repay you.' Y debuted in 2017 with Golden Child's 1st mini-album 'Gol-Cha!' and created unforgettable memories with fans through music programs, various content, and fan signing events until the day before his enlistment with his 1st digital single 'If I Were the Wind.' During his military service, he comforted fans by sharing various videos through his solo content 'Podaesang Came,' including haircuts with members, revealing enlistment scenes, hilarious camp moments, making Christmas trees, personal color diagnosis, interviews, travel vlogs, and ASMR.
