Breaking: Jang Hyunseung Officially Leaves BEAST

Jang Hyunseung has decided to leave BEAST and pursue activities as a solo artist.

This news comes after much concern and debate in recent months over Jang Hyunseung’s alleged “attitude problem” and his lack of participation in group activities such as fan meetings.

On the afternoon of April 19, BEAST’s agency Cube Entertainment issued an official statement via a press release. It reads as follows:

“Hello, this is Cube Entertainment.

We give our thanks to the fans who love BEAST, and we have something to inform you about.

As of today, Jang Hyunseung has withdrawn from BEAST, and the group has been reorganized to consist of five members: Yoon Doojoon, Lee Gikwang, Yang Yoseob, Yong Junhyung, and Son Dongwoon. Jang Hyunseung desires to focus on making his own music as a solo artist instead of as a member of BEAST in the future.

Jang Hyunseung and the five members have been talking and consulting continually with the company about making a change to team activities due to differences in personality that began with different opinions on music. After long deliberation between all the members, it was agreed that the group would part company with Jang Hyunseung and the team would be reorganized.

BEAST has been working hard for the past seven years without rest for the fans and their shared goal of reaching the top. Because of this, this decision was not easy for the members, company, or anyone.

BEAST, which has now changed to a five-member group, plans to get ready to release a new album in 2016 and be active both domestically and overseas. Please continue to support and show interest in both BEAST and Jang Hyunseung, who will be doing their best in their own positions.

Thank you.”
