In a statement today (August 27) on fan community platform Weverse, Woollim Entertainment announced that Golden Child members TAG, Jibeom and Bomin will be leaving the boyband following “in-depth discussions” with the trio.
“It was unfortunately decided that as of today, our management contract with them will conclude,” the K-pop agency added, as translated by Koreaboo. “We sincerely thank TAG, Jibeom and Bomin, who have been with us for a long time and we support their future endeavours.”
In its statement, Woollim Entertainment also confirmed that Golden Child will “continue their activities as seven members and will greet their fans through various solo and group activities”, despite the departure of three members.
It also announced that five members of the boyband – namely Jangjun, Seungmin, Jaehyun, Donghyun and Joochan – have renewed their contracts with the K-pop agency. Meanwhile, the contract statuses of the remaining two members, Daeyeol and Y, are currently unclear.
“We will continue to invest and support the five members, along with Daeyeol and Y, based on the mutual trust we have built up to this point, so that they can shine during their activities,” Woollim Entertainment added.
Golden Child’s last music release was their 2023 single album ‘Feel Me’, featuring a single of the same title. The group originally debuted in 2017 as an 11-member group, before becoming ten in 2018 after the departure of Jaeseok due to health issues.
