“Hello. This is ARMADA ENT.

First of all, we would like to express our sincerest gratitude to the fans who showed their anticipation and support for ONE PACT’s comeback.

Regarding this comeback, we would like to talk about the participation of member Jay, whose activities many fans are curious about.

We would like to let everyone know that Jay won first place in the program ‘Build Up,’ earning him new challenges and opportunities.

Accordingly, Jay will be unable to participate in ONE PACT’s album promotions, as he will focus on B.D.U’s activities under another agency as his reward for his victory.

These challenges and activities are important for Jay, as they will grant him great experiences and will contribute to his future growth. ARMADA ENT and ONE PACT members support Jay’s decision, and we would like to thank the fans who supported Jay’s choice as well.

Jay is a pivotal member of ONE PACT and he plans to work with the group whenever the time and situation are in place. We ask fans to remember this and look forward to the day when Jay stands with ONE PACT again on stage.

Though Jay will be absent from this album, the remaining ONE PACT members still prepared the album with passion and effort. We ask our fans to show a lot of anticipation and support.

ARMADA ENT will always value the opinions and feelings of its fans, and we will continue to strive to strengthen communication. Please send love and support to both ONE PACT and Jay.

Thank you.”
