Bang Yong Guk's older twin brother Bang Yong Nam commented on the B.A.P member's hiatus from the group due to an anxiety disorder.

 

The B.A.P members themselves have already addressed the issue, but this is the first time Bang Yong Guk's family has spoken up. Bang Yong Nam made the below post to Instagram, writing:

"It was a hectic day receiving many people's messages today. I understand that there are more fans than my own acquaintances, so I'm leaving a small message. That person has consistently done music promotions since he started promoting as a singer, and he became depressed. Since this year, that coincided with his anxiety disorder, and he's been going through a hard time. That's why both his family and his agency decided it would be better for him to rest than work. He along with everyone else agreed he should focus on resting and receiving treatment from now on. I thank all the people who are worrying about him, and I ask that you focus your interest and support on his other family the B.A.P members and their upcoming full-length album releasing on November 7. I will also cheer them on. Everything's gonna be alright."
