Group B2B member Jung Il-hoon, who is being investigated for drug charges, leaves 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 respected my opinion and decided to withdraw from today.”
He added, "We feel a heavy sense of responsibility for the current situation, and we will do our part to the end so that we can faithfully deal with the investigation in the future."
With Jung Il-hoon's withdrawal, B2B will continue its activities as a 6-member system. Cube Entertainment said, "We will do our best and support unchanged so that B2B can show more mature music and stage."
The fact that Jung Il-hoon has been under investigation by the police for smoking cannabis and was sent to the prosecution in July for violating the Narcotics Management Act was recently known and shocked. Police found that Jung Il-hoon had smoked cannabis several times with his acquaintances four to five years ago and used virtual currency in the purchase process.
Jung Il-hoon was enlisted in May during a police investigation and is currently working as a social service agent.
