Group B2B Jung Il-hoon, who is being accused of habitual drugs, eventually withdrew from the team.
On the 31st, the agency Cube Entertainment said, “Jung Il-hoon is deeply reflecting on the fact that this incident has broken the trust of many fans and caused disappointment.” “I decided to withdraw from the team starting today by respecting my opinion that I could not cause it.”
“We feel heavy responsibility for the current situation, and we will do our part to the end so that we can faithfully deal with future investigations.”
With this, B2B will be active as a system of six members: Seo Eun-kwang, Lee Min-hyuk, Lee Chang-seop, Lim Hyun-sik, Peniel, and Yoo Sung-jae. Cube Entertainment added, “We will do our best to support B2B to show more mature music and stage.”
Jung Il-hoon’s habitual drug charges were announced late on the 21st. The police caught Jung Il-hoon’s suspicion of inhaling cannabis during a drug investigation earlier this year. Based on the accomplices’ statements and account tracking, it was determined that Jung Il-hoon had smoked cannabis several times with his acquaintances from four to five years ago to last year. Police reported that when Jung Il-hoon deposits cash through a third account, an acquaintance converted the money into virtual currency and bought cannabis.
Jung Il-hoon enlisted in last May and is currently working as a social worker.
