During the showcase for TEEN TOP's new album 'High Five' on April 10, the members opened up about the situation with L.Joe.

Niel�said, "I saw the news through an article during my solo promotions so I was startled. I worried a lot about what facial expressions to have when I meet our fans and what to tell them."

Chunji�added, "His desires to promote solo rather than with TEEN TOP was very clear. We convinced him to promote together but then I saw the news about his departure while in practice so I was very startled. I was very disappointed in him."

Leader C.A.P�explained, "I was really happy that he decided to record with us after we convinced him. But then several weeks later, I saw the news about his departure through an article. I was disappointed and even hateful, wondering if he couldn't have just told us ahead of time. I haven't contacted him ever since I read the news. It's already gone and passed now. I hope he does well on his own."
