ONO Entertainment responded to Yoon Hee Seok's statement of why he decided to leave the group.
In a Soompi report, Last May, Yoon Hee Seok took to his personal Instagram account to announce that he will be leaving LIMITLESS. Later on, ONO Entertainment announced that they have canceled their contract with the singer and were unable to get in touch with him.
Meanwhile, on August 11, Yoon Hee Seok made a statement again on his Instagram account explaining why he left the group. He mentioned the agency's financial difficulties, discord between members, and feeling hurt by their CEO's reaction when he reached out for help.
ONO Entertainment has made a statement in response to the claims of their ex-talent.
First up, the agency apologized to the fans who loved LIMITLESS for bringing such unfortunate news in such troubled times and expressed that the controversy related to LIMITLESS member Yoon Hee Seok resulted from a difference of opinion, leading him to leave the group.
After countless conversations with Yoon Hee Seok, the agency also stated that they have decided to respect his views that he could no longer carry out activities as a member of LIMITLESS. With that, the agency settled the matter so that with five members, LIMITLESS can continue.
ONO Entertainment continued to make multiple requests to Yoon Hee Seok to carry out the necessary procedures to terminate his contract with their agency. They also noted that they were still unable to complete the process as Yoon Hee Seok has yet to give them his position on 'contract termination' until now.
Furthermore, the agency expressed that some aspects of the controversial social media post of Yoon Hee Seok are far from the truth. Although both parties cannot speak more about the reasons for Yoon Hee Seok leaving the group as it would infringe on his privacy, ONO Entertainment will consider taking legal action against any broader interpretations. The legal action will also cover the spreading of false information related to the issue.
