THE BOYZ member Ju Haknyeon is taking a temporary break from group activities.
On the 16th, the group's agency, One Hundred, released an official statement announcing, "Ju Haknyeon of THE BOYZ will be temporarily halting his activities due to personal reasons." The agency added, "We apologize for any concern this sudden news may cause to fans and ask for your understanding."
As a result, THE BOYZ will continue their activities as a nine-member group, excluding Ju Haknyeon and Sunwoo, who is currently serving in the military. THE BOYZ transitioned from IST Entertainment to their current agency, One Hundred, in December of last year.
