Jang Hyun-seung also wrote about Cube and Breakup, District Beasts of the Southern Wild members' recent events
With Cube Entertainment (hereinafter referred to as Cube) breaking up with all of the Southern Wild members, the interest of netizens is gathering in the recent situation of the members.
According to Cube on March 3, the exclusive contract with Jang Hyun-seung, who has been together for more than 11 years since 2009, has been terminated. "I will always sincerely support the future of Jang Hyun-seung, who has been in the new The Departure," Cube said.
Jang Hyun-seung debuted in 2009 with Beasts of the Southern Wild's mini-album 'Beasts of the Southern Wild Is the Beasts of the Southern Wild' (Beast Is The B2ST). Beasts of the Southern Wild activity, along with the group Four Minute singer Hyun-ah and mixed group trouble makers, were loved. However, in April 2016, he withdrew from the group and devoted himself to solo activities because of disagreements with members.
After Jang Hyun-seung left, the activities named Beasts of the Southern Wild did not last long. In July of the same year, five people, including Yoon Doo-joon and Yong Jun-hyung, Yang Yo-seob, Lee Gi-kwang and Son Dong-woon, did not sign a contract with Cube, but ended the year with Cube by establishing their own company, Arounds. There was a debate over the trademark Beasts of the Southern Wild, but five confirmed the use of the name Highlight instead of Beasts of the Southern Wild and declared the new The Departure.
There was a story that Jang Hyun-seung was the main axis and used the name Beasts of the Southern Wild again, but this was lost. The story of launching the three-member Beasts of the Southern Wild with Jang Hyun-seung came out through Cube, but Jang Hyun-seung himself showed negative opinions and did not happen.
Jang Hyun-seung released his solo song 'Home' in 2017. After the military service, in December last year, he released a single "I want to warm your cold hand" that broke the gap of 3 years and 5 months, and received the attention of music fans. But there was no music activity after that.
The five who became Highlight resumed their group activities after completing their military service sequentially. Yong Jun-hyung, who was mentioned with the so-called 'Jung Jun-young's Dantokbang', withdrew and became a four-member system. In May, he released his third mini-album, "The Blowing," and announced his robustness.
Yoon Doo-joon, who has been performing both acting and broadcasting activities, is performing Mnet entertainment 'Buttering Sound', MBC entertainment 'Anyway to work!' He has appeared on the back, and recently joined the drama 'I can not do it' and is filming.
Yang Yo-seob met fans through musicals "Days of the Day" earlier this year, and is also actively engaged in personal music activities, including participating in the KBS "Yoo Hee-yeol's Sketchbook" project album. Lee Gi-kwang is meeting fans with Special DJ activities and MC activities of 'K Contact 3' Mt. Son Dong-woon has recently confirmed his appearance in the web drama 'The Guys I Want to Hold'.
Yong Jun-hyung, who left Highlight in March 2019 due to unsavory work, often has a recent situation through social network services without any entertainment activities. Yong Jun-hyung, who joined the army in April of the same year, was operated on with left knee meniscus cartilage damage during training and later transferred to social service. It was called off in February.
