[BREAKING] U-KISS Dongho to leave U-KISS!!

In a shocking turn of events, it has been announced that DongHo will be leaving U-KISS! 

NH Media announced the news, stating, "Dongho will be absent from team promotions starting with U-KISS' new album which will be released this month, and he will be putting a hold on his activities as a celebrity."

"Starting from the beginning of this year, Dongho's determination about being active as a celebrity weakened, and he has revealed that he doesn't believe his health condition and stamina fit well with the life of a singer... After a long discussion with his parents, we have decided to accept their decision... Dongho expressed that he wanted to live a normal life rather than that of a celebrity."

The agency concluded, "Although the decision of Dongho's leave from the group is one that causes harm to the team's activities, the members have all decided to accept this change as well... Although we feel burdened by the empty spot, the group will release a new album as scheduled as six members.'

[NEWS] Big Hit Entertainment assures fans on JinWoon's Condition!!

Following the unfortunate news of 2AM's JinWoon getting into a car accident with a 25-ton truck, his agency assured fans that his emergency surgery went well, but considering the amount of injuries, they would have to keep a close eye on him and put a halt to his schedule for the time being.

Big Hit Entertainment stated, "After safely completing surgery on the 7th at 6 PM KST, [Jinwoon] is recovering back to stability. Because we have to see his progress, the date of his release from the hospital has not been decided yet."

"He is fine enough to send texts on his phone. Although he received treatment for his [ankle] fracture at the hospital, he has yet to receive treatment for his laceration, so we are watching him closely. Although it is difficult for him to carry out his set schedule, he will likely be fully recovered by December just in time for 2AM's concert."

 

The agency previously revealed that the car Jinwoon collided with a 25-ton truck at 11:30PM on the 6th. He fractured his right ankle and received a laceration about 10cm (4in) long.
