Monsta X's Wonho Leaving the Band - Read the Statements

K-Pop star Wonho is leaving the band Monsta X.

“After a long discussion with Monsta X’s member Wonho, we have agreed that it’s best to part ways amicably at this point,” a statement from the band read. “We greatly respect Wonho’s decision who wants to make sure the recent chain of events doesn’t distract from all the exciting things that are happening for Monsta X now and what lies ahead in the future. We will continue to hold legal liability for malicious and distorted claims related to this matter.”

Wonho also shared his own statement, saying, according to translations, “I have received undeserving blessings and love while promoting as a MONSTA X member. I sincerely thank you for making precious memories for me. To the members who worked hard with me and stayed with me, I would like to tell them that I’m thankful and that I love them. [I would also like to show them] my apologetic heart.”

The band went on a tour of the USA this past summer and we’re hoping to see them back stateside again soon.
