The KingDom's Hwon is taking an official hiatus.

On September 30, GF Entertainment announced Hwon's hiatus from the group following rumors made by an alleged ex-girlfriend. According to the alleged ex, Hwon had ghosted her after they had sex, and she further claimed he worked at a host bar during his promotions as an idol.

GF Entertainment stated, "We would like to inform you about Hwon's future activities. Due to health reasons, Hwon will be suspending his activities for the time being. As a result, The KingDom will continue as a six-member group starting today (the 30th), excluding Hwon. We apologize for any concern this sudden news may cause."
