Jang Hyun-seung explained only 8 years after withdrawing from BEAST 'Missing the fan meeting, the company told me not to come'
Jang Hyun-seung gave an explanation regarding his withdrawal from BEAST for the first time in eight years.

Jang Hyun-seung recently mentioned his withdrawal from BEAST through the paid communication app Fromm. Jang Hyun-seung said, `At that time, we were all done to withdraw from the team, and the withdrawal article will be officially published soon, so don't come to the fan meeting. So I didn't go and went out to play,' he explained. "'Telling me that I wasn't absent without permission.'

In the meantime, Jang Hyun-seung said "Don't come to the fan meeting from the company, but send a video to the Japanese fans on your phone that you are sorry and sorry that you can't attend at home due to one reason or another, so you took it and sent it." But it would have been nice if I stayed home instead of going on a trip. But I wasn't in the mood to be home at the time."

Jang Hyun-seung made his debut as a bistro in 2009 and left in 2016. BEAST, which has since been reorganized into a five-member group, changed its group name to Highlight, and Yong Joon-hyung is also working as a four-member group after withdrawing from the team due to the Jung Joon-young group chat incident.

Controversy over his attitude and rumors of discord among members have been constantly rising, saying that Jang Hyun-seung was unfaithful to the group's activities during his Beast activities. The decisive incident that sparked this controversy was Jang Hyun-seung's absence from the fan meeting. Jang Hyun-seung did not appear at the fan meeting without prior notice. Although he said it was a personal reason at the time, Jang Hyun-seung was controversial because he met an acquaintance at a cafe in Seoul on the day of the fan meeting. In the end, Jang published an apology saying "The controversial part is inexcusable" and later left the group.

Meanwhile, Jang Hyun-seung has been working as a soloist since his departure from BEAST.
