EPEX KEUM Temporarily Halts Activities Due to Personal Reasons

EPEX member KEUM is taking a break from his activities.

On the 16th, his agency, C9 Entertainment, announced through their official account, "Due to personal reasons concerning KEUM, his activities will be suspended until further notice. Starting today, EPEX will continue as a seven-member group. We ask for the fans' understanding in this matter."

The sudden announcement of KEUM's hiatus has left fans in a state of shock. The vague mention of "personal reasons" by the agency has only fueled further speculation about the reasons behind his break.

Having appeared on MBC Every1 and MBC M's 'Show! Champion' for 1 year and 2 months, KEUM stepped down from his role on the show last month on the 30th.

A 2019 participant of Mnet's 'Produce X 101', KEUM made his debut with EPEX in 2021.
