This netizen also claimed that when Lee Hyun-ju left the team, the agency DSP Media had to write a letter to the fans stating’Going out to act’.
In order to prove his identity, he also uploaded a photo of a resident registration copy containing Lee Hyun-joo’s name.
Lee Hyun-joo, who debuted as the DSP media girl group April, did not work as a team for health reasons from May 2016, and in October of the same year, he withdrew from the team saying that he would focus on acting as an actor.
Afterwards, after going through KBS’Idol Reboot Project-The Unit’, he made a brief debut as a project girl group Unity in 2018. Still belonging to DSP Media.
As the controversy spread, DSP Media made a stand on the 1st and said, “(2016) I expressed my intention to withdraw from the team at the time of’Tinker Bell’ activities. We held back, but our intention was stubborn, so we decided to withdraw from April. “I put up a contradictory position.
DSP Media claimed that Lee Hyun-joo joined April through persuasion, but said, “Since the debut was confirmed, we have suffered difficulties such as not being able to faithfully participate in team activities due to physical and mental problems.”
“The other members also suffered tangible and intangible damage due to the conflict caused by this, and everyone has complained of pain while having a hard time. You cannot divide anyone into the perpetrator or the victim based on the circumstances or circumstances at the time.” I actually admitted that my situation wasn’t smooth.
DSP Media said, “I have provided all possible support for the activities in the field that Lee Hyun-joo wanted after withdrawal,” while saying that it felt the company’s responsibility in this regard.
He said, “We sincerely appeal to refrain from expanding reproduction of unconfirmed facts and rumors.”
Last year, all members of the idol group, such as Kwon Min-ah from the girl group AOA and Yoon Hee-seok from the boy group Limitless, continued to insist on disagreement and harassment within the team, causing a wave in the music industry.
