On
the 31st of October, 2019, was announced that Wonho, whose real name
is Lee Ho-seok, was leaving the K-pop boy band Monsta X which he had been a
part of since their debut in 2015.
Starship
Enetrainment, which is the company Monsta X debuted under, released an official
statement on all of their social media in which they thanked the fans for their
support and apologised, saying that Wonho’s contract with them had been
terminated and Monsta X was going to continue as a six-member group.
Additionally, Wonho released a handwritten letter, which was translated by Soompi, in which he also apologised to
fans about the situation and asked them to support the remaining members of
Monsta X.
