The agency explained, “We carefully reviewed each member’s present and future, their direction of activities, dreams, goals, and potential for growth. Above all, we concluded that respecting the artists’ own wishes and supporting each of their paths forward was the best decision.” They added, Jung Seung Hwan, who is currently serving in the military, also took part in the discussions after giving deep thought to the team, the members, and the fans.”

IST Entertainment continued, “We will sincerely cheer on the members as they embark on a new beginning, and we hope to see them shine even more in the future.”
