On August 19, L posted a handwritten letter on his Instagram, telling fans that he had decided to leave Woollim Entertainment after about 10 years of working together.

Among these visitors, there happened to be some eagle-eyed fans who noticed some familiar lines in his letter.
They claimed that the letter contained the same sentences from Seohyun of girl group Girls' Generation's letter that she wrote to fans when she left SM Entertainment back in 2017.
Not only one sentence, but as many as five long sentences were exactly the same.


But soon, they discovered that there were other sentences that were copied off of other K-pop stars besides Seohyun when they left their management agency.
The stars included, former boy group B.A.P's Bang Yongguk, former girl group AFTERSCHOOL's Lee Ga Eun, former girl group AOA's Yu-kyung, female duo 15&'s Park Ji Min and former INFINITE's Lee Ho Won.
The fans highlighted all the sentences that L had not made a change in wording, and that made up about half of his letter.

They commented, "Is this the best you could do after all these years with us?", "Six people though? Unbelievable! I mean, who knows? There might be more sentences that he had stolen from others. We may just haven't noticed them yet.", "It looks like he couldn't even be bothered to write us anything. You know what? Maybe our time together meant nothing to him.", and so on.
