Ugh this is super sad he screwed up big time 

[GiganticMint121]

This really sucks for the group, but it also really could have all been avoided. Good luck to him in the future

[Phoenix Wright]

Losing your career for behaving like a stupid irresponsible brat.

Well, good luck in his next projects, and good luck to the rest of the group too.

[Danee Danee]

Good luck to the group hope they will make more positive headlines soon. 

To the guy... I just hope he learned. He lost his career. But honestly can still be happy his stupidity havent cost him or anyone else their lives. 

[chuuloveyves]

I lowkey thought he'd stay in the group knowing there have been other male idols that got in drunk driving accidents but didn't have to leave. Those guys got off easily 

He must feel so dumb and regret it so much since ab6ix are doing pretty good as one of the post wanna one groups

the sad part is that all of this could have been prevented if he had just called a taxi. something so easy to do.

Thankfully, no one got hurt by his dumb mistake. I hope this guy learns from this. 

wishing the group good luck!

[howaboutno]

I didn't expect this to happen. I thought they would just have him sit out for a comeback or two. This isn't the first time BNM has dealt with a DUI. Verbal Jint had one a few years back. But I guess comparing Youngmin to VJ is a complete stretch when they are different in every way.

Still can't believe that he practically ruined his career by being reckless. I wouldn't be surprised if he tried to come back as a solo in a few years. Not sure how that would pan out though.

Woojin is now the sole rapper of the group which kind of makes the dynamics weird. He's probably rewriting the raps on the mini right this minute. 

[Kingsandqueens]

I liked him at PD and I was hugely disappointed especially as someone who almost being hit by a drunk driver.. 

I hope he learn and comeback as soloist in the future

[dmalpieri]

I don't know why but i didn't expect that

[felidae]

I guess this ain't his first offense in the company lol. The first time I saw someone leaving for this "small, unimportant matter in SK".

[Trashie]

That sounds more like kicking him out instead of leaving?

anw regardless of what happened it must be hard to the fans 

Good luck to ab6ix

[Nev Schulman]

Good luck to the group.

[Doranira]

Ab6ix is a new group, he's a 95 liner which will make him have to enlist in ~ 3 years or so. Him leaving gives more longevity for the group. Besides he honestly does not add much to the group except for, I don't know, ongoing teasing by the other members for his "old age" . Woojin's rap is far better than his, even his tone is superior. 

Anyways, his absence won't be felt. 

[Haze]

Feel no sympathy for him whatsoever, just feel bad for the rest of the members and fandom.

[pinkpanda_spirit]

Don't worry guys, he will return as a solo artist after a year or so. I don't think Rhymer can let him go that easily lol

[pluto]

woah

it's a harsh world

i hope he learns

[Jeii]

I think this is the Best for the group. 

[hynapia]

I totally saw this coming. It wasn't only the DUI, but other scandals and rumors that were popping up like the anti-feminist book or going to clubs and sleeping around. He left or was forced to leave to not ruin the group's image.

[Drama Drama Drama]

Wow he left

I was thinking he was something rebel being idol he was clubbing, drinking, with fxxxboy reputation

Maybe BNM knew about his personality but maybe he had condition of hiding to the public until DUI exposed him

But the cases of drunking idols is growing a lot

Maybe drinking it's like a therapy for them

Daehwi will be work more as group face

[Midnight~Circus]

There were many rumors about him swirling about, some that were confirmed to be true but weren't picked up by news outlets yet, so I believe this DUI was just the nail on the coffin.

[Aphrodisiac]

I don’t feel bad for him tbh

[satoori]

yea i think many of us saw this coming. hopefully he reflects on everything. get some counseling if necessary. good luck

 

anyways, now i'm interested to see what the company will do with the group. will they add another member(s)?...

[mrs.otter]

He actually looked like a decent guy and I was rooting for him. Good luck to Ab6ix in the future. Can't wish the same for him.

Right now I don't think they're gonna add more members but maybe in the future. People want Eunsang (the former X1 member) to be added but he's not a rapper so idk.
