●Here is Sung Si-kyung‘s SNS post in full

It’s already April, and it‘s raining Arbor Day.
Are you having a good weekend?

I cried so much because of “I’m so confused”
The writing, acting, and directing were really, really, really, really
The lead actors, supporting actors, and art were all really, really, really
I was so grateful and watched it all
In front of the piano, doing this and that I‘m writing this after fiddling around

I told the audience during the performance
I’m going to take a break for the first time in 14 years since Sung Si Kyung‘s congratulatory song started in 2012

It was a decision that required a lot of courage for me to take a break from the happy performances that received so much love

but I had a lot of performances last year, and I think I suddenly thought that I needed some time to recharge
In the end, I’m not taking a break at all

but I‘m not going to waste the time I’m given, I‘m going to manage it well
look back on myself
try things I couldn’t do
and prepare good music, and with that music
(if I get a contract^^), I hope I can have a concert at the end of the year

I‘m not going to go anywhere and retire or anything, so don’t worry
and please understand and support my difficult decision with a broad mind
I‘ll talk about Purple while singing at the fan meeting
