PENTAGON's Hongseok Leaves Cube Entertainment

PENTAGON’s Hongseok has parted ways with Cube Entertainment.

On November 6, Cube Entertainment shared the following announcement through PENTAGON’s official Twitter.

Hello. This is Cube Entertainment.

First, we would like to thank UNIVERSE (PENTAGON’s official fan club) who love and support PENTAGON.

We would like to deliver an official statement regarding the termination of the exclusive contract between Cube Entertainment and PENTAGON member Hongseok.

We had sufficient discussions and conversations with Hongseok regarding his future activities. As a result, we mutually agreed to end his exclusive contract.

We convey our gratitude for Hongseok, who fully showcased his passion and talents as [an artist] under Cube Entertainment after debuting as [a member of] PENTAGON, and we anticipate and root for Hongseok as he takes an even more dazzling leap forward.

We ask for your warm support and encouragement for PENTAGON’s Hongseok, who will start anew after departing Cube Entertainment.

Thank you.

Hongseok also took to his Instagram Stories to write, “2015~2023. Cube Entertainment, which I spent about nine years together with. Thanks to [Cube Entertainment], I met a team called PENTAGON and gained new brothers. More than anything else, it has been a continuation of happy times since meeting UNIVERSE. I will continue to impress everyone going forward. Thank you as always!”

Previously in October, five PENTAGON members Yeo One, Yan An, Yuto, Kino, and Wooseok parted ways with Cube Entertainment. At the time, the members hinted that they will continue as PENTAGON.

Wishing all the best for Hongseok’s new start!
