Previously, the 26-year-old idol suspended activities in November 2023 due to disk stenosis in the lower back. He resumed activities with the release of THE BOYZ’s 2nd album, [PHANTASY] Pt.3 Love Letter, in March last year.

THE BOYZ will continue their scheduled activities as a 10-member group during his absence. The group has remained active with regular releases, tours, and festival appearances since their debut in 2017.  

Last year, they signed with ONE HUNDRED after their contract expired with IST Entertainment. Most recently, they released their latest studio album Unexpected, earlier this year. Member Sangyeon began enlistment on the same day as the album release, March 17.
