Lim Young-min has officially left AB6IX following DUI offence.
On June 8, Brand New Music reportedly released a statement, confirming the news of his decision to depart the group after thorough discussions with the singer.
“After careful talks with Lim Young-min, we have decided to respect his wishes that he wants to quit so as not to damage the team further,” the agency said on AB6IX’s official fan site, according to Korea JoongAng Daily.
Earlier this month, the South Korea-based label announced that its artist was suspended from the group’s upcoming promotions after being caught under the influence on May 31.
His actions ultimately forced the group to postpone the release of their EP ‘Vivid’ from June 8 to June 29 due to regrouping as a four-member group.
The K-Pop star apologised to fans, AB6IX and agency’s staff for his regretful actions in a handwritten letter on the group’s fan community site, after his agency decided to halt his activities with the group.
Brand New Music is reportedly making adjustments to exclude Lim’s part in the album’s tracks, photographs, music video and other related promotional goods, yet some already finalised content will include the singer due to time constraint.
He officially debuted as a leader of AB6IX alongside Jeon Woong, Kim Dong-hyun, Park Woo-jin, and Lee Dae-hwi with EP ‘B:Complete’ last year.

Last Monday, the veteran K-Pop group’s subunit — composed of members Kyuhyun, Ryeowook and Yesung — dropped their first mini-album ‘When We Were Us’ and title track of the same name.
Showcasing their emotional vocals, the ballad trio’s latest musical offering contains six tracks: ‘When We Were Us’, ‘Way to Busan’, ‘The Way Back to You’, ‘I Can’t’, ‘Home’ and ‘Midnight Story’.
Much like other Super Junior’s discographies, the band never fails to dominate the UAE iTunes chart. Their subunit is no different.
A day after its release, SM Entertainment confirmed that Super Junior — K.R.Y.’s six-track mini-album — topped the global iTunes Top Albums charts in 29 countries, including the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Bahrain and Egypt. The title track also topped the UAE iTunes songs chart.
Their new release comes five years after dropping the single ‘Join Hands’.
The following day, WayV released their first full-length album ‘Awaken The World’ accompanied by an apocalyptic music video for urban trap lead track ‘Turn back Time’.
The album managed to top the iTunes albums chart in the UAE and 18 other countries. Though the digital offering was made available, the physical release of the 10-track album was delayed “after discovering issues regarding accessories on some of the outfits” that deemed inappropriate and controversial worn by two members.
Managed by Chinese agency Label V, NCT’s Chinese subunit — composed of members Ten, Kun, WinWin Lucas, Xiao Jun, Yangyang and Hendery- made their debut last year with three-song digital EP, ‘The Vision’, and futuristic music video of Chinese title track, ‘Regular’.
In addition to the boy groups, rookie act E-Last made their debut with mini-album ‘Day Dream’. Their tracks ‘Light’, ‘My Flower’, ‘Sunrise’ and ‘Swear’ climbed to the top of the UAE iTunes K-Pop songs chart.
WJSN’s EP ‘Neverland’ was also quite a popular pick among local listeners, debuting in the Top 10 of the UAE iTunes all-genre album chart.
