Menjelang selesainya masa wajib militer, Kim Hyun Joong menulis surat untuk para fansnya yang di-upload melalui official websitenya pada tanggal 24 Januari 2017. Kim Hyun Joong sebelumnya mempunyai kasus panjang dengan mantan pacarnya dan hingga saat ini kasusnya masih berlanjut karena terbukti Ms.Choi, mantan pacar Kim Hyun Joong melakukan manipulasi bukti-bukti yang diajukan saat persidangan. Melalui suratnya, Kim Hyun Joong berterima kasih untuk dukungan para teman, keluarga, dan fans.
"It's been a long time. How are you?
I had been contemplating on what to say the last few days. Enduring much pain and hardship, I have come to realize that I am such a weak person. However, I was able to hold on thanks to my family and friends, and to everyone who has believed in me. This is why I was thankful for each day. Which makes me want to ask you all this question. Is everyone doing well?
I would like to talk more face to face.
Thank you so much always."
Sincerely, Kim Hyun Joong
