Keum Dong-hyun is officially departing from EPEX, six months after pausing his activities.

On November 21, C9 Entertainment announced the termination of his exclusive contract, expressing gratitude for his efforts as a member of EPEX.

Keum Dong-hyun halted activities last May due to personal reasons, though no specific details were disclosed. The agency asked fans to continue supporting him as he prepares for future endeavors.

EPEX will move forward as a seven-member team: Wish, MU, A-Min, Baekseung, Ayden, Yewang, and Jeff. The agency shared that the group plans to stay active and requested ongoing love and support for their future activities.

EPEX is scheduled to meet fans next month on December 14 at the second-anniversary celebration of their Japanese fan club, Zenith Japan, in Tokyo.
