On July 28th, Woollim Entertainment announced the departure of Alex from the boy group DRIPPIN and the agency. They said, "Alex is finishing his activities as DRIPPIN for his personal career."
The German-Korean idol had been on hiatus since January due to poor physical condition. Woollim Entertainment explained, "Our company and DRIPPIN member Alex have been discussing for a long time about their future individual careers. After much consideration, Alex decided to conclude his activities as a DRIPPIN member and terminate his exclusive contract with our company in consultation with himself and his parents."
Woolim Entertainment added, "We would like to express our deep gratitude to Alex for being with Woollim Entertainment, and we will cherish every moment with Alex and always support and support Alex's new future."
With Alex's departure, DRIPPIN will reorganize and continue activities as a six-member group.
