Back in June, boy group Code-V made their return to the K-pop scene with Addiction. The group had originally debuted in 2007 under the name Bless, but they were anything but blessed as they suffered from low sales and lack of promotion. Even though their initial debut was a bust, the boys were confident that this time around, things would be different. Unfortunately, things haven't worked out as planned and Code-V member Taemin recently announced that he's leaving the group after their schedules end on August 21st. Here's the message courtesy of Bless4U@daum.cafe.net and Translated by ilovepocky@codeaddiction.com:

It's really difficult to think of how to begin this! But the reason I'm bringing this up is because.. I want to thank for the last time everyone who up to now gave me the large gift of love and support! I, TaeMin! Is leaving Code V on August 21st after all our schedules have ended! This is a decision that I made after much thought and worry! So it was hard, and I'm really sorry that I made this decision!. I'm leaving like this, but our Code V is working really hard to prepare really good music! Please always love Code V! And please give me support instead of denouncing me! Lastly, thank you to everyone who gave me the biggest gift of my life!! And the legend of Code V is just beginning now!! forever! code V forever bless for you!! Thank you! I'm both sorry and thankful to everyone who supported me until now! I will be leaving Code V after the end of schedules on August 21st. Although the happiness of TaeMin of Code V has ended! The regular 28-year-old TaeMin will work hard to be happy! The cry of Code V will not stop! Thank you and I'm sorry! Be happy everywhere! THANK YOU

Quite unfortunate, currently there's no word on what Code-V's future plans are. Thanks to starxchocox for the tip.
