Boy group B2B’s rapper Jung Il-hoon, who was sent to the prosecution for smoking cannabis, leaves the team.
On the 31st, the agency Cube Entertainment said, “After careful discussion, we decided to withdraw from the team starting today, respecting the opinion of (Jung Il-hoon) that he can no longer damage the group.”
Cube said, “Jung Il-hoon is deeply reflecting on the fact that this has broken the trust of many fans and caused disappointment,” and said that the company took it seriously and decided in this way.
He added, “I feel a heavy sense of responsibility for the current situation, and I will do my part to the end so that I can faithfully work on the investigation that is going on.”
