[NEWS] 110223 U-Kiss' agency thought about the members' withdrawal for a long time


Debuting in 2008 with the album "New Generation", boy group U-Kiss has had many hit songs along the way. However, although the members of U-Kiss are planning to make a comeback in March, members Alexander and Kim Kibum have withdrawn from the group.

U-Kiss' agency NH Media has officially recognized the 
withdrawal of U-Kiss members Alexander and Kibum. The reason behind their withdrawal has not been revealed yet, but there has been word that Alexander made the decision due to personal reasons, including his studies. For Kibum, it has been said that the reason for his withdrawal had to do with business activities.

On the 23rd, NH Media explained, "First of all, I would like to apologize for suddenly coming up with the news of the withdrawal of the U-Kiss members. The [withdrawal] information that was presented before was an issue that the staff had been contemplating about for a long time, and during that time, U-Kiss was preparing for a new album."

Continuing on, the representative hinted about the possibility of getting new members: "The other members of U-Kiss have been showing great interest about the idea of getting new members, which we haven't thought about. We're trying to somehow schedule their comeback more smoothly. We will be posting news about the new members and their comeback really soon."

[NEWS] 110222 Kim Kibum explains his departure from U-Kiss


Earlier today, we reported on the departure of Alexander and Kim Kibum from idol boy group, U-Kiss.
Moments ago, Kibum explained his decision through a long tweet, which read:
“Hello, this is U-Kiss Kibum, or more specifically, an ex-member of U-Kiss, Kim Kibum.
After two months of delay, I’ve finally plucked up the courage to write this post.
First off, the agency and I have made an agreement about my exclusive contract on February 2011.
As the agency desired a member replacement, we wrote out a consent document for a contract dissolution, and from that day on, I became a former member of U-Kiss.
Contrary to what most of you might be thinking, this is unrelated to my Piro Piro business… nor is it about losing interest in U-Kiss.
I always thought importantly of U-Kiss more than anyone, and I’m proud to say that not once did my Piro Piro character business impede my schedules with U-Kiss..
I always thought of the members as more than family. I’m extremely upset that I have to part with them like this, but it was because of my lacking areas which warranted my former agency to desire a member replacement.
I may be leaving on a one-sided decision, however, I was able to learn a lot and meet many people, as well as the U-Kiss members.
My feelings are very mixed up on the thought that the few lines in this message could hurt a lot of people I love.
I will continue my personal activities on broadcast.
Thank you to all the people who supported me wherever I was, and I will meet you once again as an entrepreneur,
Thank you”

[TRANS] 110222 Alexander's Twitter Update


To all Hong Kong fans, I believe that some of you are confused about the schedule for Hong Kong. Only ELI and Kevin will be going to Hong Kong to film the variety show today. The other members (including me) will not be attending. Maybe I will fly to Macau another time but the chances of me going there are slim. So please don't waste your time finding me, because you will not be able to find me in Hong Kong. And don't ask me why I'm not going Hong Kong, if you want to know ask my company or the organizer. Thank you!^-^
