Woollim Entertainment has announced DRIPPIN’s Alex’s departure from both the group and the agency.
Back in January, Woollim Entertainment announced that DRIPPIN member Alex would temporarily halt all activities due to health concerns.
On July 28, Woollim Entertainment shared a new statement revealing that Alex would be leaving the group and terminating his exclusive contract with the agency.
The agency also announced that the rest of DRIPPIN will be continuing activities as a six-member group.
Woollim Entertainment’s full statement is as follows:
"Hello, this is Woollim Entertainment.
First, we would like to express our gratitude to those who always give constant love and support to our artists. We want to say the official position regarding the future activities of our artist DRIPPIN member, Alex.
DRIPPIN member Alex has been discussing with the company for a long time for his future career.
After much consideration, Alex decided to finish his activities as a DRIPPIN and end his exclusive contract with our company in consultation with himself and his parents.
We want to express our deep gratitude to Alex for being with Woollim Entertainment, and we will cherish every moment with Alex and always support Alex’s new future.
In addition, DRIPPIN will continue its activities with a six-member system (Hwang Yun Seong, Lee Hyeop, Joo Chang Uk, Kim Dong Yun, Kim Min Seo, and Cha Jun Ho).
Please continue to show your interest and love toward them.
