New Wave Music Has Release A Surprise Statement Today (March 16th) Announcing The Official Departure

New Wave Music has release a surprise statement today (March 16th) announcing the official departure of LOOPiN’s Beomseok from the company and the group.

It reads as follows:

Hello, this is New Wave Music. 

Beomseok, who’s been a member of LOOPiN up until now, has terminated his contract and will no longer be part of the group moving foward.

On October 2022, with the full aquisition of the members contracts made by our company after our creative departure with a former colaborator, we came to the agreement with 9 out of the then 10 members to revise past amendmends and resign for more three years. After much consideration and a two month long discussion, Beomseok has decided to not renew his contract and cease all activities as a member of LOOPiN as of March 2023.

We thank Beomseok for the five years he has given us, and we wish nothing but personal fullfilment in his journey moving foward. We hope fans will share the same sentiment, accept our apologies for the sudden news, and look foward to the future of LOOPiN with whatever shape the lineup might take.

Beomseok has also written a personal letter uploaded on Fab, his personal Instagram account and the group’s official Twitter regarding the news:

To my iNSYNCS,

It’s been hard to condense everything I want to say in a single letter. I have decided to be brief.

The decision to leave the group might seen abrupt looking from an outside perspective, but if I have to be honest, it’s been a long time coming. My heart hasn’t been set on music for a long time. I have already lived all my teenage dreams thanks to every single one of you, but now I find myself with new goals, and none of them include being an Idol for any longer then I already have. I wish I could have been honest with myself and others sooner, so I wouldn’t hurt anyone with those news now.

To my members and to my fans who have looked after me with such care for so long, from the bottom of my heart I say: thank you for all the love and support you’ve trusted on me. Thanks to it, my years with LOOPiN will be forever engraved in my mind and in my heart as some of my happiest. I’m forever grateful and indept to you.

As of what will come next for me, I don’t know for sure yet. But the certainty I have is that I won’t be in the public eye, anymore. The entertainment industry is no longer the right place for me. I trust our fans to understand and respect my wish.

With love,

Lee Beomseok.

With LOOPiN recently wrapping up the promotions for their second full album ‘Set For Sale’, and with strong rumors of a repackage already in filming stage, the departure has shocked iNSYNCs and stans alike. The hashtags #ThankYouBeomseok and #LOOPiNPerfectTen has been steadily trending on social media ever since the release of the departure statement.

[+411, -13] Someone check on Haegon IMMEDIATLY.

[+389, -1] It’s so disrespectiful to allude to the addition of a new member in the same letter they’re announcing his departure, like? Couldn’t they give it a day at least?

[+321, -5] Whoever is replacing him better SING SING, because Beomseok is leaving some heavy shoes to fill. He’ll be missed.

[+299, -10] Is LOOPiN aware they’ll be getting a new member miss New Wave Music, that’s what I want to know

[+287, -96] Sad to say that I saw it coming. I’ve been feeling like he hasn’t been enjoying being on stage for a while now :/ hope he’ll be happy in his new path.

[+2, -457] BYE PUMPKIN! BYE PUMPKIN! 

AND I THINK I’M GLAD IT ENDED UP BEING US.

“I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour / But heaven knows I’m miserable now. / I was looking for a job, and then I found a job / And heaven knows I’m miserable now.”

trigger warnings: they’re all getting awfully drunk trought this whole thing. swearing like, lots of swearing. usual angry drunk people antics. insinuations and two very vapid mention of someone dealing with anemia and depression in the past.

*note(s): 1. English is not my first language, and it might show to a native speaker or someone who’s more fluent then I am. I tried my best to iron this piece out, but if any grammatical errors flew over my head, I hope they don’t ruin the overall experience. With that out of the way, have a good read 😝 🍾

“Soooooo,” Haruki says, elongating the vowel for so long, he’s almost singing it. “We came all the way here to not talk about it. Got it.”

He’s squatting on the floor right in front of Dylan, very close to his feet, picking at something on his own shoe that might be really there, might just be an excuse for him to not make eye contact with anyone. There’s always a point, after he’s had too much liquor, where Haruki can’t make eye contact with anyone without getting horribly misty eyed.

Dylan’s been staring intensely at the very little he can make out of his face from this angle – just the tip of his nose, the illusion of his bottom lip and a bit of his forehead – to find out which is the truth, but Haruki isn’t bearing anything telling and obvious like a frown or a pout, so he really can’t tell no matter how much he squints.

He wishes, not for the first time, that he was an expressive and carefree type of drunk, instead of this provoking and evasive thing. Chihoon’s too dazed to read microexpressions, and if you’re not putting in all your attention and effort into catching all the microscopic shifts a face can make, it’s impossible to even begin to make out what a hammered Haruki is trying to pretend not to feel.

“I mean,” Seungsoo prompts, bouncing on the balls of his feet. The words come off slurring together off his completely red face. If asked, he’d swear he’s not drunk yet, and then he would take a long gulp of the soju bottle he’s been sipping on for the past twenty minutes to prove it, even though it would be written all over his face how much he’d be sick of it – he gets awfully competitive when he drinks with Minwoo and Haruki, he explained to Chihoon before, who’s tolerances are legendary. Dylan privately believes Seungsoo just has a complex about being left behind. “Do you have anything to say? I don’t. Lips sealed.”

“Taesong obviously has,” Minwoo comments, slowly, then seems annoyed at his pace and spits, “TaesongHasSomethingToSayLookAtHisFaceHe’sDraggingIt.”

Chihoon turns his head quickly to the left, feeling the world spin as he sends Minwoo a disapproving look – Don’t put him on the spot. Minwoo frowns right back at him with his lips pursed – Don’t tell me what not to do.

Casting his eyes down again, Chihoon worryingly looks at Taesong. He’s also squatting on the floor, keeping a bigger distance from the circle he, Seungsoo, Haruki and Minwoo formed near the walls, leaning against the cooler they borrowed to keep all the insane amount of alcohol Haruki ordered, enough to probably send half of them into a deadly coma, chilling.

He doesn’t respond to the singling out. In fact, he says nothing and stares unblinkingly ahead for so long, Chihoon thinks he’s fallen asleep with his eyes open, or something – he’s seen similar things happen to Beomseok when he’s exhausted, a couple of times. He knows it’s possible.

When Taesong finally, finally focuses his eyes and opens his mouth, the only thing that does come out of it is a loud hiccup, and then a huffed and barely comprehensible apology. Minwoo groans at him, frustrated, Seungsoo and Haruki huff laughs, amused, and Dylan sighs, tired. 

Suddenly so tired, he can feel it in his bones.

DOG BACKWARDS !

welcome to dogscomplex, my main blog where all my interactions come from! i mostly go by gio on tumblr but any variations of giovana are welcomed. she/her. 04 liner. brazilian portuguese and english speaker. i write about fictional kpop idols in a fictionalized kpop industry setting.

quick dif ... -17. krph or rp blog in general. exo (group or any of the nine members) anti. fails to pass standart dif lists, y’all know exactly who you guys are.

full disclaimers (little things need to be updated but it all mostly stands).

YOU CAN FIND ME AT !

@intoloopin ... a 10 membered once LOONA sibling group who are now on their way to find their own footing and personal identity. fingers crossed they don’t all kill each other in the process. it deals with themes of codependency, the sacrifice of self for fame and glory, the music industry’s reward for unetical behavior, what happens when passion runs thin, love as double edged sword and the underwold that’s only accessible with stardom. (NOT MINOR FRIENDLY.  LIKE AT ALL.)

EXTRA LINKS !

@baileningning ... talk blog filled with creative and personal ramblings. do not recommend for anyone who doesn’t like EXO or Succession to check out because that’s like, 80% of what you’ll find there.
