On January 26 (KST), VAV's label A Team announced on Gyeoul's behalf, "VAV's member Gyeoul has decided to bid farewell to the group to pursue solo activities." 

Back in December of 2016, former member ZeHan also left VAV, while Chinese member Xiao is on a temporary break from the group in order to oversee his father's health in China. 

VAV debuted back in 2015 and recently announced that they would be returning revamped, with star producer Ryan S. Jhun newly recruited to help their production. 

VAV will likely promote as a 5-member group (if Xiao is able to return by then) for their comeback, set for this February.
