Gunil Leaves Xdinary Heroes and JYP Entertainment Amid Recent Controversy

JYP Entertainment has officially announced that Gunil is leaving Xdinary Heroes and ending his contract with the agency.

On August 13, JYP Entertainment released a statement addressing the sudden decision, saying, "Regarding the recent issue involving Gunil, we are deeply aware of the seriousness of the situation and have had long discussions with the artist." They continued:

"As a result, we determined that it would be difficult for him to continue participating in the group's activities. We have mutually agreed to terminate his exclusive contract. As of today, Gunil has left Xdinary Heroes and will be concluding his activities with the group. We sincerely apologize for bringing such sudden and concerning news.

While JYP Entertainment referred it as a 'recent matter,' the issue comes from online claims made by an individual identified as A, who claimed to be Gunil's ex-girlfriend.

Based on her posts and a leaked phone call recording, A claimed that Gunil cursed at his fans every single day when they were together and that his on-screen personality is completely different to how he acts in real life. The controversy mainly centers on the claims of him badmouthing his fans off-camera. However, these are one-sided allegations from A and have not been proven true.

Following Gunil's departure, Xdinary Heroes will now move forward as a five-member band.
To reassure fans, JYP Entertainment stated, "We will fully support the remaining members so they can focus on their music in a stable environment."
