TIOT’s Choi Woojin To Take Indefinite Hiatus
TIOT’s Choi Woojin will be taking an indefinite hiatus from group activities.
On 9 September, TIOT’s agency Redstart ENM announced that, after a lengthy period of careful discussion and consideration, Choi Woojin has decided to suspend his activities and step away from the group’s forthcoming official activities.
Hello, this is Redstart ENM.
First, we sincerely apologise to all LOTI [fandom name] who have been patiently waiting for news and new activities from TIOT for having to share such unfortunate news before the good news we had hoped to bring you.
The agency has been in ongoing discussions with Choi Woojin for some time regarding his future activities, and we have carefully considered the matter together.
After taking into account his wishes, future plans and various circumstances, Choi Woojin has decided to suspend his activities and will not take part in TIOT’s forthcoming official activities.
We would like to emphasise that this was not a decision made hastily. It was reached only after numerous discussions over an extended period, while carefully observing the situation and taking the time to consider all aspects of the matter.
Regarding the album currently in preparation, Choi Woojin has completed recording his parts for the songs and the filming of the music video. Consequently, his contributions will be included in the music and the music video, as well as in some pre-recorded content.
However, following his decision to step away from activities, he will not participate in any newly scheduled official activities, including music programmes, other broadcast appearances, or content filming.
TIOT will continue with its scheduled activities, and the members will do their utmost to deliver good music and performances to the fans who have been waiting for them.
We will provide further updates in due course regarding Choi Woojin’s future activities and TIOT’s future direction.
We ask for LOTIs’ understanding regarding this sudden news, and we sincerely request your continued support and affection for TIOT.
Thank you.
