So it’s true after all, Cube Entertainment has officially announced that Hyunseung will be leaving popular idol group B2ST. The group will continue with 5 members Dongwoon, Doojoon, Kikwang, Yoseob and Junhyung going forward.

The singer won’t be leaving the label just yet as his contract with Cube is not up for renewal until October this year so he’ll remain as a solo artist until then.

Cube explained that Hyunseung and the 5 members all started out with different views on music and personality differences, and after continual discussion regarding their growth as a group, they’ve decided that that B2ST should move forward as a 5-member group without Hyunseung.

Many are also speculating that Hyunseung will most likely move to another label before his military enlistment.
