“I was assigned to social service due to a past illness and was postponing it for work activities. I then reached a point where it was difficult to postpone my military service any longer,” he wrote in Korean, according to various media outlets.
“At the time, because I was the only artiste bringing in revenue and due to the fulfilment of contracts signed before Covid-19 being delayed, I was desperate to delay enlistment in fear of the penalty incurred for violating the contracts.” He said he then made the foolish decision to avoid military service. He apologised to those with epilepsy who were hurt by his actions and to his long-time fans.
“Lastly, to the Vixx members who were hurt by my actions, I decided to leave the team, so that no further damage will be done,” he wrote. “I sincerely thank all the members who have been with me for 11 years and I am sorry beyond words.” Originally formed as a sextet through the 2012 reality show MyDOL, the group now comprise four members: N, Leo, Ken and Hyuk. Vocalist Hongbin left the group in August 2020.
