dh_jung_bap: 오랜만이야

It’s been a while

“To. My beloved mom, dad, brother Your maknae has debuted! I’m going to work even harder to become a son, dongsaeng that you can be proud of! I waf you~♥️“

Question: Is it possible for you to work together with the members again?

Yongguk: YES

“Due to our different situations and plans for the future, we can’t be together right now, but I think we can always do it again together someday. In the mean time, we want to focus a bit more on the things we wanna do. I wouldn’t call this ‘disbanding’. There are members who wanna work alone and situations where we can’t work together have come up, so we decided to cheer each other on.”

Of course, he also showed his gratefulness to the fans who’ve been supporting them.

Finally, he said "Actually, it’s really a shame that we can’t be active under the name 'B.A.P’. But even so, we decided to accept our situation at the moment and support each other’s path.”

The four remaining member of B.A.P have all elected to not renew their contracts with agency TS Entertainment.

On February 18, the agency shared the news on B.A.P’s official fan cafe with a post titled, “Official statement regarding the future activities of B.A.P.” Their statement reads as follows:

Hello. This is TS Entertainment.

We would like to notify you that TS Entertainment’s exclusive contracts with B.A.P members Himchan, Daehyun, Youngjae, and Jongup have ended.

With the exclusive contracts that B.A.P members Himchan, Daehyun, Youngjae, and Jongup had with TS Entertainment ending, we have come to the agreement that they will not renew their contracts and will instead find their own paths.

We wish to sincerely thank all of the Korean and international fans who have sent their love to B.A.P members Himchan, Daehyun, Youngjae, and Jongup, and we hope you will continue to support them in the future.

Thank you.

With this announcement, all six members of B.A.P have now parted ways with TS Entertainment after deciding to not renew their contracts. The members had contracts that ended on different dates, leading to a staggered departure from the agency. First, it was announced in August 2018 that Bang Yong Guk would be leaving the agency, with Zelo following suit in December 2018.

We wish the members of B.A.P all the best in their future endeavors!
