Representatives of Star Empire said, “We’re so thankful, it’s an honor to have ‘Love Letter / My Only Wish’ achieve such great results. It was an album released to wrap up the group’s promotions in Japan before they head back to Korea for their comeback in February. We’re highly anticipating another great result for the group’s February comeback album, as it will feature a lot of ZE:A’s hidden talents and charms. Please give us your love.”
